The Backrooms have definitely had their moment in video games over the last few years. Escape the Backrooms is definitely coming from a place of love, especially if you sit down and watch Fancy's various YouTube videos breaking down the development. The game itself is a hodgepodge of loosely strung together ideas- some of which are really fun and others aren't the best designed and might give you a bit of a headache. Overall though, there's so much variety here that with a friend we were always discovering something new and having a good time overall as we made our way through each of the levels. This game is still expanding so I'm curious how it will evolve over the next few years and how it will ultimately shape up. For now it's a very soft recommendation.
