  • gameplay

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    36% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally seen as lacking and frustrating, with complaints about limited content, annoying mechanics like rapid sanity depletion, and poor overall execution. While visuals are praised, many reviewers find the gameplay janky, repetitive, and less engaging than expected.

    • “Great concept and fun gameplay, but it feels a bit short on content.”
    • “Gameplay is door-like, which I personally don't like, and I would much rather be able to restart a level and continue.”
    • “It does look really nice, but gameplay is more important than graphics in my opinion.”
    • “Sanity is an annoying mechanic; I feel it goes down too fast.”
    • “Nice Unreal Engine visuals can’t save janky gameplay and technical issues.”
    • “First game had much better graphics and gameplay; in this one, we can't jump or use items.”

  • graphics

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    38% positive mentions, 39% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed reviews, with some praising the visuals and Unreal Engine 5 technology, while others find them basic or unimpressive compared to previous titles. Overall, the visuals are considered decent but not a standout feature, especially given the game's technical and gameplay issues.

    • “Very cool game and considering its price the graphics and all are very good.”
    • “It's a bit shorter than the first one with fewer levels overall, but the graphics look the same or a bit better in most levels (except the pool rooms were blinding), and the overall polish was improved from the first one.”
    • “Graphically, the game is fine.”
    • “Graphics are mixed (some okay, some very basic).”
    • “Honestly, Reality had better graphics and actually worked; please do not play this game if you don't want to lose brain cells.”
    • “The visuals are just riding on Unreal Engine 5’s coattails, and that’s it.”

  • stability

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is notably problematic, with frequent bugs such as disappearing items, inconsistent multiplayer visuals, and occasional crashes preventing gameplay. Despite these issues, players find the game enjoyable and are hopeful for improvements.

    • “Multiplayer is buggy – items disappearing, one player seeing almond water while the other doesn’t, overexposed pool rooms that almost blind you.”
    • “Buggy ass game, can't even start the game sometimes, and when it does you have to leave to start another one.”
    • “Honestly a pretty rough and buggy game.”

  • humor

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game is widely praised for its humor, with players finding it hilariously entertaining, especially when playing with friends. Its comedic elements and even the bugs contribute to a fun and memorable experience, making it enjoyable despite the horror theme.

    • “Funniest game I've ever played with my friend. I laughed so hard I almost forgot it was a horror game. Every character we encountered, we made fun of it and ran laughing, hiding, and having the time of our lives. Best experience if you are bored and want to play something fun.”
    • “I don't know why people hate this game. It's actually very fun to play with friends, and the bugs just make the game funnier. One thing I do have to say is that you should have added jump scares. Overall rating: 9/10.”
    • “Very fun but in the funny way.”

  • optimization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    The game is generally well-optimized, delivering smooth performance even on older hardware, with minimal issues like stuttering or long loading times. Some users wish for better optimization for weaker PCs and more active creature behavior, while the developers are actively working on improvements. Overall, it offers good performance and graphics, especially considering it is a free game.

    • “Overall performance is nice, the game is optimized.”
    • “Of course it has some issues, but that's common for games. The developer is actively working on them, unlike other developers who focus on cash grabs. This is a free game with very good performance and nice graphics.”
    • “I wish the creatures were a bit more active and faster, and I’d like better optimization for weaker PCs like mine.”
    • “I wish the creatures were a bit more active and faster, and I’d like a bit more optimization for weaker PCs like mine.”

  • atmosphere

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    60% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    The atmosphere in the game is polarizing, with some players finding it intensely scary and engaging, while others feel it lacks the authentic backrooms tension and comes across as bland or empty. Though early levels and puzzles are praised for their ambiance, later stages are criticized for lacking threat, atmosphere, and polish, leading to a mixed overall experience.

    • “Game feels so scary I finished this game with my brother. The game takes only 2-3 hours, like for one evening, but is very interesting and atmospheric.”
    • “Me and my friends had a blast playing this game and we thought that the levels were atmospheric and fun puzzles.”
    • “It's pretty fun and has great atmosphere.”
    • “Most of the levels are bland, empty, and boring, with little sense of threat or atmosphere. The game lacks the fear and danger that other free backrooms games manage to create. Even the first few levels, which were somewhat enjoyable, felt terrible overall. The roadway level was especially frustrating, as I ran slowly across with no exit in sight, only to fall through the map. I never experienced any real chase, despite seeing it in videos.”
    • “No gameplay, no atmosphere—just errors and disappointment.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers strong replayability through a wide variety of modifiers and numerous easter eggs and achievements, which encourage players to revisit and explore different aspects, such as the notable "strange occurrence" in level 188.

    • “Modifiers are good for replayability, and there's a ton of them.”
    • “Easter eggs and achievements add to the replayability, such as the 'strange occurrence' in level 188.”
    • “The game is also somewhat replayable due to modifiers.”

  • music

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users overwhelmingly criticize the music, describing it as repetitive, low-quality, and poorly integrated, which contributes to a negative overall experience. The music is seen as annoying and unoriginal, often compared to repetitive clicking sounds, detracting significantly from the game's appeal.

  • monetization

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game offers good performance and graphics with a fair free-to-play model, though it includes microtransactions. Users appreciate that the developers actively address issues and avoid aggressive cash grabs. While additional content is desired, regular updates help improve the experience.
