I don't want to be too mean about this since it's a free game and it's clearly a passion project, but it just didn't click for me.
At first I was excited because there seemed to be no obvious "oooh scary monster chases you!", which is my biggest turn off in any backrooms or liminal space inspired media. And it was really cool! The environments are diverse enough, the giraffes are cute and there's sort of a plot happening. Then the mannequins turned into oooh scary mist monster and I clocked out mentally.
The ending was fine and the CYOA twist was pretty good, but the SCP reveal kind of soured things for me once again. I really love SCP, I think mixing backrooms and SCP makes sense (backrooms wiki lore is just worse SCP anyways), but this is the coldest, most generic, most boring take on the foundation ever. They're cold and they do unethical experiments and terminate their D-class. Really? What is this, series 1?
Overall an okay experience compared to a lot of other backrooms media, but it just wasn't for me.
