Oct. 2024

Grim, sinister and sombre atmosphere. Overall, disgusting feeling to be involved in what's happening in the storyline. It leaves a sour aftertaste in your mouth upon completion. This game has barely any connection to The Backrooms concept, other than the title and the idea of no-clipping into a different place, which in this case is a purgatory , that protagonist is going through for what he did.

Sept. 2024

This game gave me some chills especially when I completed it, reading the end screen was an experience alone. Amazing short game, amazing work and im not thrilled easily, that's a really good short horror experience. Highly recommend it. Amazing work from a single developer. Keep it up man.

July 2024

Finally a backrooms game that really has good jump scares even though it was too much

June 2024

i played this game with my laptop and had fun, but its better to a good pc to play this game but its fun

April 2024

scariest backrooms on the steam store and by far the only one that is very tense. Do not play with headphones in the dark really does get to you, but fantastic game especially the random jump scares that some actually change every time you play sop you never know what to expect
