Love to see VA, and love that you made a spin-off of something!

Developer

Tysm!  I love exploring Glarence & Adiel's early days in my writing, and I'm glad I got to show it in a game!

Love the va and really enjoyed this take! This world seemed to fit the theme very nicely. I also really enjoyed how pissed you can play Glarence lolol. Awesome job!

Developer

Thank you! ^u^

Major credit for The Backrooms is In The Eye of the Beholder for supporting the only VO in this particular jam – an amazing feat for a four-day jam. The VO manages to communicate so much more than the text alone!

Developer

Thank you!  Josh & Khai did a great job voicing Glarence & Adiel!

ohh now i'm curious how other entities/people see the backrooms

Developer

It's definitely something I want to explore!  Especially with "canon" backrooms entities, like Smilers & Partygoers.

The voice acting is so good!!! The va's truly bring the characters to life and encapsulate their different personalities

Developer

Thank you!  Josh & Khai really did a fabulous job on this!

Listen, I may not know much about the backrooms, but I know a power collab when I see one. Was so happy to see HSP back in the game delivering the goods, the services, the hotties with eldritch bodies. And lets not forget that background, god I love it when things look mixmedia. And last but certainly not least, the character writing and voice acting. I need to know more!!! I NEED to see more!!!! I GOTTA HEAR MORE!!! AND HAND OVER THAT METER!!!! [rages] >:O

Thank you!  Everyone on the team did such a great job on this! C: 

If you really want to read more, I write a lot with & about these characters on my Tumblr& Pillowfort.  The links I gave go to the "gladiel" tag, which is Glarence & Adiel content, but the general "romancethebackrooms" tag has everything in general.

maybe the beholder we made along the way was the backrooms… i was super locked into the conversation, especially with the engaging voice acting, and then i noticed the little rage bar in the corner – mind = blown [explosion noises] <:O so needless to say i immediately got glarence super pissed and mad! i also went back to see all the choice outcomes and see the not-mad ending too, and honestly i think i learned a lot from their conversation.

i’ve never really engaged with backrooms media so my knowledge is minimum, but i feel like glarence and adiel really articulate their perspectives well and i think i got to understand life in the backrooms really well via that. chin up, glarence! i’ll get u all the almond water u need! (that IS a backrooms thing, right? >_<)

I love how you immediately got Glarence pissed and mad, that's amazing! X3 And yes, almond water is a backrooms thing!
