Proof backrooms doesn't work as a game.
I can't even stomach an hour of this walking sim. Nothing to see, nothing to do. Walk speed is impossibly slow, and sprinting gets disabled in certain watery areas so just a slog.

Knowing that there are no monsters, no goals, only slowly looking around an empty space. It's arguably the most accurate backrooms sim there is! I'd never say DON'T PLAY THIS, because I think it's very well made and is a flawless backrooms.

I just think that it's incredibly boring, and waste of time.

I hope you have a great day, thanks for listening to me complain.

if u worry about no goals in a video game (which there is in this and its called getting the ending and exploring everything. you need to pick up a job and get ur real life goals together

The GOAL is arguably to look at things yes, I can't argue that. I just wanted to vent that I think that doesn't work. I like walking sims, but I don't like this one because it's too slow.

I think I do need to get my life in order since I'm venting on steam forums, but I don't see how that's related to my opinion on a video game. I'm glad you enjoy it and find satisfaction in looking at the stuff.

In Backrooms / Liminal Space games the goal is in your own mind, fantasy, dreams and past...

It's a special feeling.

this PROVES that the backrooms can be a game, and not just one filled with chase sequences and jump scares

Oh, maybe you wanted it to be even faster so instead of finishing it in 50 minutes, you can finish it in 25 minutes. Great idea.

Game is perfect as it is, advertised mainly as psychological horror, which for many has a more notorious effect than being jumpscared or chased, and actually what the original backrooms idea was about.

Maybe I'm just not afraid of empty rooms and I think that's okay.

I actually have no clue what people are talking about disagreeing with you. This game is an amazing concept, and it's the most accurate to the actual Backrooms I've ever seen. It's just nothing. I beat this game in less than 30 minutes. They need to make an actual accurate game with completely random generation, interactive (you can pick up items, have a health bar, sanity bar, etc.), make it so you can actually get weapons and have an inventory and find just random things that you can pick up, or wear. And you can edit a character to have clothes that you normally wear and items you normally have, and spawn in with all those things and be able to find and equip more. And have almond water, random entities that you can interact with and talk to. Not just run from. They need to make a survival/adventure Backrooms game. If they ever do, it will by far be one of the best games I ever play.

Would a survival Backrooms game be great? Yes.

Should it be an update to this one? Uh, absolutely not? This is a walking sim intended to give you the creeps (which it does), not a survival game.

Also, almond water are entities are a stupid-ass cliché.

This game sure isn't for every one but some find it relaxing just exploring and walking around. Some also find it unnerving to do so. It just depends on who you are.
