I dont get it

[Snake0384]

I tried the demo and wandered around for about a half hour and literally NOTHING happened; nor was there anything of note to find, other than some occasionally interesting architecture. Is this really what this "game" is going to be like, an interactive youtube video? At least things happen in youtube videos.
What a scam.

So you think a FREE demo is a scam? lol

Not their fault if you don't have the cognitive ability to enjoy the game as intended.

Time isn't free and I didn't even say I didnt enjoy it. It's actually kinda spooky, I GUESS and I did say I liked the architecture. It's just saying I dont see a reason to play this (much less potentially PAY for it) instead of just watching a youtube video on the same subject.

its psychological horror. There arent any monsters that jump out and chase you

[ValenAbrazo]

You are definitely not the audience for this kind of games LoL 😂

I think it's a maze. A maze without an impetus to complete it. Supposedly there was a scary monster at one point that would never chase you. But there's literally no reason to "push" yourself forward. I guess the developer's right. "Not the audience". I like to finish my games :P

If there was a monster that attacked you in this game, I wouldn't have even bothered making this thread; I could easily dismiss it as another backrooms meme game. There not actually being a monster is a good quality.

Having just reached what appears to be the end of the demo (about six hours total exploration, but over more than one game) and finally looked at the discussion page: things do change in the world. There is progress. The region is not small, even though it uses layered rooms to wind around fairly tightly in a way which made me wish in hindsight I'd gone to the trouble to get pencil and paper and actually draw up a map, there are multiple major areas and semi-clear hints directing you to go back and forth between them. It is mostly going to feel like a walking simulator, but from my own perspective that's probably for the better.

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

It's a special feeling...

I agree. I played it and had interesting atmosphere, but then didn't find any incentive to continue, lost the plot I guess.

there's no plot, its just an atmospheric walking simulator. the whole point is to immerse in it and just wander around

You know what's a good walking simulator?
Miasmata, it's not quite as outwardly spooky like the pools are but there is a big cat that stalks you. It gives incentives for the player to play it because there is challenge in its unique momentum-based movement system with a clear defined goal of curing the plague the player is infected with and, ultimately, escape.

you find a radio playing music than pic up the flashlight than go to the dark area at the start of the game

What a scam.

You are right. You don't get it.

This feels like how online you're not allowed to just not like a person because of vibes, you have to give reasons whether or not they're applicable.

It's completely and totally valid to just not vibe with this particular style of game, but to call it a scam because it wasted your precious time is ridiculous.
