Review: The Backrooms – Lost Tape The Backrooms: Lost Tape is a really creepy horror game that does an amazing job of making you feel lost and alone. The game perfectly captures the feeling of liminal spaces—those empty, strange places that seem familiar but feel off. The graphics are great, making the world look realistic and unsettling. The movement and gameplay are smooth, so it’s easy to explore. This isn’t an action-packed horror game with lots of monsters. Instead, the scariest part is the loneliness. You always feel like something might be watching, but you’re never sure. That’s what makes it so terrifying. If you like slow, atmospheric horror that focuses on mood instead of fights, The Backrooms: Lost Tape is a must-play. It brings the backrooms story to life in a truly spooky way. Rating: 10/10

I've played a great majority of the well known backrooms games on steam, this is easily in the top 3 if you're a fan of the more "realistic" backrooms experiences. As of this review there are 2 tapes, both with some really great scenery and just the right amount of horror elements. Highly recommend to those looking for an immersive backrooms/liminal experience.

Second best single-player The Backrooms game after "The Complex" and "POOLS" , in my opinion. You can tell it's a passion project and was crafted with a lot of care and attention to details. I can appreciate all the hard work put into it. I played before and after major update with Chapter II , when Chapter I still had 4:3 resolution. I honestly liked that better and it had way better lighting throughout the whole level. But when it comes to the latest Chapter II , game shines in its full glory with full-screen and nice realistic effects Unreal Engine 5 can offer. Honestly, just one ocean level alone worth buying the game. It's been awhile since I felt anything like that while going through it. The dreaminess of the neon pool level along with its beautiful soundtrack was mind-blowingly mesmerizing, totally loved the vibe. Thank you for the experience, Vini. Keep going and best of luck.
