Played through this with mates for like 70% of its runtime I guess, and I cant lie. It was fun, a lot of fun. But then sitting in a room with a stick and a piece of plastic might be fun with friends.
The game is not much by itself to me, the backrooms concept does not really inspire fear for me and few jumpscares aside, I did not find the game super engaging beyond the excellent sound design.
The missions are quite obtuse but I guess that was intentional.
This is the quintessential meh game you play one time and have fun with, but never go back to. I do not know how much of the one day of fun was because it was a day spent shooting the sheit with mates and how much was the actual game. But I have to credit it as a very servicable concept and bugless gameplay. I also have to truly respect a game that managed to bring old friends back together for a fun long holiday afternoon.
Give it a try if you are a fan of backrooms horror and/or have a day to be spent with mates playing games.
