This is a pretty freaky Backrooms game currently in development which has a nice blend of horror and humor. Gordon's entrance in the pool area really cracked me up. :)

[@JohnCharb87]

I'm surprised you didn't throw the golf balls at him. Speaking of which. Hole in One Victory Shake!!!

[@adellerulli]

That note wasn't kidding when it said he'd "drop" in at any moment, heheheh.

[@welporajackwelp4899]

I feel like they could tune down the light buzz because it is way too loud for them to be a subtle atmospheric sound

[@Moshugaani]

Yeah, it's quite an oppressive buzz. Definitely makes me just want to quit watching. :p

[@TheJared38]

Theres a simple solution to that problem. Just get some hearing loss and you won't hear that buzz at all! (I didn't notice any buzz) Bonus is that you can't hear the music playing in stores!

[@TheSpArTaNs1962]

The light buzz is canon. You can't unhear that in the backrooms.

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

​@@TheSpArTaNs1962I have these lights in my house. They're only THIS loud up close. I can hear them from 3 yards/meters away, but in the game you can hear every bulb on the map from infinite distance as if you were inches away.

[@Moshugaani]

@@TheJared38 No thanks, I'll just set the volume lower on my device. 😅 I'm sorry about your loss of hearing.

[@jam6000]

Running animation, sounds and analog effects are just top notch here. This genre is really starting to mature. I would love this as part of a larger found footage anthology.

[@Jimov]

I would die of thirst in the backrooms considering there apparently is only almond water available.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

There's probably limin-ade too! :)

[@Jimov]

@@AlphaBetaGamer I hope so! The lack of drink options worries me more than than the monsters.

[@andrewdionne7541]

That was... an interesting variation of the Backrooms. It certainly caught my attention more than the other variations. I'll have to watch this one.

[@AParticularlyConcernedCitizen]

It's based off a particular artist's work called Return to Render here on KZbin. It's a much more lighthearted rendition compared to what is usually featured in the backrooms.

[@NotAnElf]

16:11 I see your momma raised you right.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Haha, yeah! I didn't wash my hands though! :)

[@TBTabby]

The only difference between the two endings is the place you fall into. And neither one seems better or worse than the other.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

I think in the full game it will mean there's a branching pathway where different exits take you to different levels of the Backrooms.

[@DolphLundgrensDolphinDungeon]

Backrooms has such a thin premise, unfortunately the concept can't be taken very far

[@jayl5032]

Actually the opposite happened. It was taken way too far. Everyone hopped on the bandwagon. It had levels and monsters and L o R e. Too much nonsense. It was more unnerving when it didn't have all that junk.

[@DolphLundgrensDolphinDungeon]

@@jayl5032 good point

[@bog2132]

@@jayl5032 Yes, I was out when I saw that you could pick up almond water, this game is clearly humoring the shitty wiki " lore ", which means it will be ruined by the presence of "totally original and not thought up by a 12 year old" monsters like giant moths or "smilers"... The fact that anyone could contribute super low effort "lore" is what originally killed the backrooms. Kane pixels singlehandedly brought it back by ignoring all the reddit-tier nonsense "lore".

[@theblackrabbit1710]

Nice. This is a good Backrooms game. Hope the full version does get released.

[@CrayWing]

Really cool by the dev picking up some of the kanepixels ideas (hope he has an agreement 😅). UE5 made this backrooms game much more graphically pleasing and closer to his videos. Also the crossover to Portal or SCP isn't that bad of an idea. Imagine finding yourself in the test chambers after you revealed some secret area or secret ending. :)

[@user-yn1hr6yy8o]

The self assuring nods at the hole in one lmaooo

[@flutschlitzer]

I love the Backrooms and i love you for playing this kind of Games! Greetings from Germany! 🫶🏻

[@CrowSkeleton]

This seems well-balanced with horror/humour, and though it needs to be used sparingly/could get old very fast, I like the way you're forced to try and navigate the backrooms a little to achieve tasks and the way that randomly wading into the water destroys your camera...wish you could pick up the samurai sword or steal a cart as a reward for exploration/consolement for getting so lost you're liable to spend hours re-finding the plot, though. Where'd that girl from the start go, anyway?

[@user-no5sj6vo7d]

初っ端からクオリティヤバすぎてこれは期待

[@ari-dynamicarchive]

I think the only thing that makes me like this is that it feels like Return to Renders' style of humor with his Backrooms videos on KZbin, a channel I enjoy a lot. I'll be honest though, as much as I like classic Backrooms (sense of dread/one human alone expcting to die alone) and modern Backrooms media (level this, level that, level one million, whatever), the irony is that they still feel quite boring whether you add something in them or not. I won't fault this game for anything but I'd love a Backrooms/liminal space game that goes above and beyond "help I've fallen into a Kane Pixels video and I can't get up" 'cause I've seen all this stuff before.

[@TheYa2000]

I would love to play it!

[@vainglory-matei1067]

[@FoxyCAMTV]

Very creepy. Indie all the way babay.☕

[@FidoArtz]

i often wonder if that backroom could be made into different game genres to expand upon its concepts like a squad-based game, perhaps tactical game where you guide your hazmat crew through the backrooms in real time or turn based gameplay maybe with researching or dungeon crawling elements? there was a game i came across that came out with a demo called BackWorlds that's a earthbound style rpg backrooms game.

[@welporajackwelp4899]

17:04 this game must be parody or satire of the backrooms

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Yeah, it's not a full on parody, but it definitely has a sense of humor! :)

[@Nov-5062]

"The cake is a lie" is a reference to Portal 1.

[@flourypathgamermolinaquese9301]

I wait the game have a realistic movement like in the complex expedition 🤙🏻🤑

[@ItsMrAssholeToYou]

Is this made with UE5? It's really well crafted. Only a few subtle cues betray it's CG nature. Though I suppose it'd be more apparent without the analog noise filter. Edit: Okay, maybe not that few. And not quite as subtle as they initially seemed, but still fairly subtle. I stand by my assessment of "really well crafted".

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

Hi! I think it's a Unity game, but yeah it looks really good. The camera movement and the analog noise do a lot to increase the realism though.

[@Chaosian]

Not that this does anything especially wrong, but at this point, I think the Backrooms concept is so over-done that being "another Backrooms game" really is not enough anymore. The horror genre is notorious for being an ouroboros that just recycles the same content for decades at a time, but this is getting egregious.

[@AlphaBetaGamer]

I agree there are way too many Backrooms games. It's why I generally try to avoid covering them (I think this is only the 4th or 5th one I've covered). I do really like this one though. It's got a good pace to it, there's a nice variety of weird stuff going on and it's got a good sense of humor. It's nice when a horror game doesn't take itself too seriously. :)

[@jayl5032]

See, therein lies the problem. It was never meant to be a game. So now everyone has to 1-up eachother or their game isn't going to be as fun. It's completely lost the plot, and is really something else entirely now, a typical monster chase horror series.

[@apjapki]

They owe Kane Pixels money

[@akiradkcn]

No

[@justletmelistthese]

this backrooms shitck became agressively banal

[@TheWaterdog6]

For a second I thought they were going to exercise a level of creativity and make their own idea on an existing idea. A cursed modern art gallery that goes on forever. Sadly, more of the same. A game that gets to use the same textures and walls assets and being stuck in the literal same repeating things is the point of the game. Im sure this is a developers dream, in the same way where a game that is constantly glitching and bugging as part of the story would make it easy to do a sloppy unimaginative job and it be "Part of the experience."

[@labtob]

not a very liminal space with all that stuff in it.

[@michaelkrueger8554]

This sound is fckng annoying

[@gnu191]

Aaaand ofc that reddit zoomer which made the game misses the entire point of backrooms.
