  • The game features beautiful graphics and realistic camera movements, creating an immersive atmosphere.
  • The puzzles, particularly in level 0, are engaging and provide a good challenge.
  • The sound design and creature effects are unique and contribute to the overall horror experience.
  • The game is very short, with only a few levels and a lack of content, leading to a feeling of repetitiveness.
  • There are significant bugs and performance issues, including lag and camera problems that detract from gameplay.
  • The gameplay mechanics are poorly designed, with some tasks feeling nonsensical and the entities not posing a real threat.
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has been criticized for lacking challenge, as entities do not pose a significant threat and the mechanics feel underdeveloped. Suggestions for improvement include introducing a thirst mechanic, enhancing enemy speed, and implementing a skill-based element or harsher penalties for dying. While some players find it lacking, others attribute their dissatisfaction to personal preferences rather than inherent flaws in the game.

    • “The entities aren't really even a threat; I think they should move faster than the player, and there should be some hiding mechanic. Alternatively, if the maps were bigger, the entities could pose a more lethal threat if encountered, making it more rare.”
    • “Overall, not quite my cup of tea, but that's more personal gameplay preference than a fault of the game itself.”
    • “The entities aren't really even a threat; I think that either they should move faster than the player, and there should be some hiding mechanic, or the maps should be bigger. Then the entities could be a more lethal threat if encountered since it would be more rare.”
    • “There should be another element to the game where some mechanical skill comes into play, or maybe making the game harder by simply resetting you back to level 1 if you die.”
    • “It's not the worst game ever, but even keeping in mind that this is an early access game, some of the features and mechanics are just not good.”
  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics in the game have received high praise for their realism and atmospheric quality, contributing to an immersive and terrifying experience. Reviewers highlight the impressive visuals and movement, noting that they enhance the overall gameplay, particularly within the backrooms genre.

    • “Graphics are great, movements are realistic, atmosphere is there.”
    • “A good addition to the backrooms genre of games with nice graphics and sound.”
    • “Absolutely terrifying experience with great visuals too, great job!”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game is criticized as a blatant cash grab, with players feeling that the limited content—only four poorly designed levels—does not justify the current pricing or the promise of a multiplayer mode that seems disconnected from the existing gameplay.

    • “This whole game feels like a really poor cash grab.”
    • “They are advertising a multiplayer mode in the making that, quite honestly, makes 0 sense to anyone that has actually played the game in its current state, since there are literally only four levels, and only one of them is not absolutely awful (and even then, it still feels sort of lazily made).”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that there is no story present in the game, suggesting a lack of narrative depth or engagement.

    • “There is absolutely no story to speak of.”
    • “The game feels like it lacks any narrative depth.”
    • “I was disappointed by the absence of a coherent storyline.”
  • atmosphere
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere of the game is highly praised for its beautiful graphics and realistic movements, creating an immersive experience. Reviewers appreciate the overall ambiance, noting that it enhances the gameplay while being offered at a fair price.

    • “Beautiful atmosphere and a really fair price”
    • “Graphics are great, movements are realistic, atmosphere is there”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with players reporting loud and distracting breathing sounds, as well as frequent bugs that can cause characters to become stuck on objects, such as doors.

    • “The breathing is super loud and obnoxious, as well as being very buggy. I got stuck on the first door I made contact with.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its dark and absurd elements, such as the unique mechanic of progressing by dying at the exit, which some players found amusing despite the game's unfinished feel. Overall, the humor adds a quirky charm that resonates with certain players.

    • “Speaking of dead, the way you progress through the levels is by literally dying at the exit, which should tell you just how unfinished this game really is, but I thought it was kinda funny, so I'll give that a pass lol.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express that the grinding in the game is excessively time-consuming, suggesting that it requires an unrealistic commitment akin to having a second life to fully engage with it.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
