how to obtain testing qualifications

In the room where you can walk on the wall and ceiling. I think that the lamps should be lit by a generator per wall, which would reveal a new piece of wall to explore in order to discover that we are now on the ceiling (so the lamps can be replaced by spotlights on the floor and will not fly more).

we should add more soundscape of people shouting help me or in dead ends noises from the real world music or people talking about different ages (era).
adding a life system (2 or 3) with illness (cough) which develops each time the player is knocked down by the creature and which will impact the player's breath after a long sprint would add good immersion and a real impact on the creature

Its one of the best backroom experience i ever had. The game mechanics the graphics are really good i like the vhs body cam feeling. The proximity chat with the reverb and special effects are really cool, there are challenging task if completing the map isnt enough but i a had a lot of problems (i know its only a playtest).

The ingame invite buttons dont really work i had to use SHIFT + TAB to invite.

If i select the PRIVATE LOBBY no one can join.

If i select the FRIENDS ONLY, my friends still cant join, but i cant invite them with SHIFT + TAB. When they joined to my lobby with the SHIFT + TAB method i can start the game, but the host gonna be the only one who can load in the game, the others will have an infinite loading screen.

if i select the PUBLIC LOBBY my friends can join and we can start the game (its working) but everyone can join to my lobby. i wanted to play only with my friend so we had to hurry up in the ingame lobby grab our stuff then press the button to close other players out (Theres no way to kick players atleast i havent found it)

The games optimization isnt great. The minimum requirements for this game is a GTX 650 with i5. Im on an i7 (8th gen) And a 1050 ti and couldnt run the game on 1080p low graphics. The only good thing is that i could set the resolution to the lowest and it wasnt that bad because its still a VHS game so the sharp looking quality doesnt matter that much.

Some settings didnt work. For example the textures were on epic for me and couldnt set it to a lower option, it went back to epic after i closed the settings menu. An Apply Settings menu would be great.

The Proximity chat works as it is intended but i couldnt set it to my microphone, cause after i closed it it went back to the default microphone option. Making my mic to the default mic then restarting the game fixed this issue tho.

If i get downed for the monster it would be great if an [E] button would appear above me.
Also it would be great to see animations if i get downed or if someone picks up a survivor to rescue them.

Other then these Overall its a REALLY REALLY Good Backrooms Experience. hope you will finish a lot of these maps because i enjoyed it very much. If it will be a paid game i will buy it for sure. Hope this review helped a bit. Thanks for the invite.

1.
We should be able to switch item with the numbers/numpad
Sometimes I cannot pickup more than 1 item
Ex: Camera and flashlight
But I can pickup camera and uranium
Really annoying

2.
The settings confirmation is a bit annoying because you have to double-click on your selection to confirm it (graphics menu)

The sound of the running breath should be more regular
Instead of 3 breaths, pause and 3 breaths, there should be one breath every x seconds depending on the run length.

In addition, the more you run, the higher the sound becomes, which gives an odd effect.

This might be a good way to do it

The head bobbing gives motion sickness after a few minutes of playing
I think there is also motion blur on top of it

There should be an option in the graphics settings where you can change the head-bobbing effect or simply disable it

Please for the love of all that is holy add an FOV slider. The default forced FOV feels like 50 at most.

THE RUNNING SPEED SEEMS A BIT SLOW AND ALSO IT DOESNT HAVE A STOP TO THE RUNNING OR A COOL DOWN JUST INFINATE RUNNING BUT IT IS A GREAT GAME OTHER WISE

Hello, interesting game, really excited to see future versions. My friend was having lots of motion sickness with the head bobbing, please add options to remove that. Also, we were having trouble knowing where to go around the beginning when we found the directions to turn on the generators. It felt like we just wandered everywhere with no real progress.
Thank you.
