    The graphics are generally decent with Unreal Engine visuals offering a polished look compared to the first game, though some levels suffer from poor design choices like overly bright areas. However, the visuals are considered average for the genre and rely heavily on the engine rather than innovation, and many users feel gameplay issues overshadow the graphical quality.

    • “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) and the overall polish was improved from the first one.”
    • “Graphically, the game is fine.”
    • “The graphics aren’t amazing for a backrooms game, but it’s a blast with friends.”
    • “Honestly, reality had better graphics and actually worked; please do not play this game if you don't want to lose braincells.”
    • “The visuals are just riding on Unreal Engine 5’s coattails, and that’s it.”
    • “First game had much better graphics and gameplay; in this one, we can't jump or use items.”

    The gameplay is widely criticized for being janky, slow, and lacking meaningful interaction, with technical issues further detracting from the experience. While the visuals are praised, the overall gameplay is seen as disappointing and inferior to previous versions.

    • “It does look really nice, but gameplay is more important than graphics in my opinion.”
    • “Gameplay is door-like, which I personally don't like, and I would much rather be able to restart a level and continue.”
    • “First game had much better graphics and gameplay; in this one, we can't jump or use items.”
    • “No gameplay, no atmosphere—just errors and disappointment.”
    • “Nice Unreal Engine visuals can’t save janky gameplay and technical issues.”

    The game is notably buggy and unstable, with frequent crashes and gameplay issues that frustrate players. Despite this, some users find it enjoyable and hope for improvements in future updates.

    • “Honestly a pretty rough and buggy game.”
    • “Very buggy.”
  • atmosphere

    The game's atmosphere receives mixed feedback, with some players finding initial levels fun and atmospheric, while others criticize most levels as bland, lacking fear or tension, and failing to capture the true backrooms vibe. Technical issues further detract from immersion, though a few still appreciate the overall mood.

    • “It's pretty fun and has great atmosphere.”
    • “Most of the levels are bland, empty, and boring, with entities that are not even a threat. The game lacks the authentic Backrooms atmosphere. Other free Backrooms games have done a better job creating a sense of fear and danger. The roadway level was especially disappointing, as I ran across it with no exit in sight and eventually fell through the map.”
    • “No gameplay, no atmosphere—just errors and disappointment.”
  • optimization

    The game demonstrates generally good optimization, running smoothly even on older hardware without significant lag or freezing. However, some users wish for improved performance on weaker PCs and faster, more active creature behavior. The developers are actively working on addressing optimization issues and updates.

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