EXPEDITION TO THE BACKROOMS

“Game is still currently being updated, but aside from a bit of jank, it has the atmosphere dialed, a good spread of environments, and a range of mechanics for the different areas that a lot of backrooms games don't have.”

“The audiovisual presentation complements the gameplay exceptionally well.”

“Equally important is the sound design, which uses distant echoes, mechanical noises, ambient hums, and prolonged silence to keep players constantly on edge.”

“Maybe it's because of the 1980s/1990s camera distortions, so you can't really see how good or bad the graphics are, but this is the best Backrooms game with graphics, as far as I can tell.”

“Good graphics combined with smart objectives made it semi fun.”

“While playing, I did have some initial graphical issues, which have since been resolved and patched.”

“The narrative premise provides enough context to justify the journey while allowing environmental storytelling to remain the primary method of revealing the world's mysteries.”

“Even so, its dedication to immersion and environmental storytelling makes it a memorable expedition into one of gaming's most recognizable modern horror concepts.”

“I will genuinely compliment the creative user interface and the unique entities, storyline and cutscenes.”

“An early access game that, despite its shortcomings and lack of performance, is slowly but surely being addressed by the developer.”

“From the time I spent playing this game, the optimization stands out. It's very smooth on max settings while playing and recording in 1440p on a single PC setup. We just had a few small hiccups in a couple of spots in level 0, which is to be expected as it's early access.”

“Performance otherwise was really solid.”

“Cooperative play adds replay value while making the expedition feel more dynamic, especially when players divide responsibilities or become separated inside the maze.”

“The two different pathways in the game do make it interesting and give it some replayability, which is pretty unique.”

“Playing with friends turns this tension into shared paranoia, and it’s hilarious when someone screams at a flickering light.”

“Game has around 8 medium/large sized levels with tons of incredible fun content, funny moments and unsettling euphoric chill vibe liminal space worlds.”

“The absence of constant musical accompaniment often makes the experience even more unnerving, allowing every unfamiliar noise to feel significant.”
