Very interesting retro vibe! 

-The atmosphere of the game is earie and spooky to say the least.

- Controls are crisp and I liked the zoom in/out feature

- Found the Level design quite confusing and very maze-like, makes it easy to get lost

- Wasn't sure what to do

Overall good job! 3.5/5

Developer

Thank you for the review, there is a maze you have to solve to get the good ending.

Your game portrayed the backrooms pretty well. The atmosphere was tense and the VHS tapes were a good addition. It wasn't too scary, but a few well placed jump scares (especially in the maze) would definetely have gotton me. Well done :)

Developer

Yea, we wanted to do a monster but ran out of time.

The game is very well made in a lot of aspects:

The VHS filter is very good;

Your team captured very well the essence of the backrooms;

The audio effects aren't thaaat scary, but they surely are disturbing.

10/10. Nice game!

Developer

Thanks for the positive feedback!

Just wanted to check if anyone else has made a backroom game. Glad to see I'm not alone! I like the idea with vhs videos inside the game :)

Love anything analogue themed and backrooms is a fantastic space for horror. love being able to zoom in and out really gives it that found footage feel. Great stuff!

Developer

Thank you! I am going to give your game a go now.
