Honestly, I still feel the original containment breach is one of the best horror games I've ever played. The randomly generated layout combined with the fact that the "monster" ai, despite being simple, cant eally be easily messed with or made to act predictably (like the classic joel table gambit) give it a natural omnipresent tension I've only seen games like subnautica be able to match. There's absolutely no indication a scare is coming, so you're almost never ready for it - and honestly, the low quality graphics of add to the weird *offness* of the atmosphere it has. Bonus fact: The lead dev of the original CB (whose very first game was the aforementioned scp smile one) is actually the guy who's now in charge of the company making Barotrauma, which you may have heard of. Spoke to him once online, he's a nice guy.

I always thought the much more interesting idea of the backrooms is that there is nothing in there. It captured the same idea as going over the lava in Oblivion and winding up under the map in the never ending wasteland where there is nothing to do but die

[@COSMINIC]

yea i think adding monsters to the backrooms really just makes it more like scp and less like its own thing

[@TheCabalOnMars]

@@COSMINIC yeah, they even categorize the "levels" with creatures you can find in there. I would personally be more interested in the idea of said "levels" distinguishing eachother by form of strange task, or something without purpose entirely. Creatures get oversaturated, I feel, but pure abstract ideas/scenery sounds like it has much more shelf life.

[@MoBisley]

This is why Kane Pixels probably has the best backrooms lore. It's so ambiguous and there's very little of the creature. Also the theory rn is the creatures are like the immune system of the back rooms and they're actually humans that have been consumed by the fungus/ bacteria that has accelerated growth in the backrooms.

[@neatnoot214]

The appeal to me has always been like how the Midwest inspires horror. Drop a pin on Google Maps in Saskatchewan or Montana and you will see just nothing. But you're on a road and theres a fenced off field, so someone has to live here, but there is nothing. Nothing at all relevant to life. You get left there without a car and a phone and you die, and thats it. Backrooms is the same way. Theres wallpaper and hallways, signs of human interaction, but theres nothing that shows the comfort of human life. The road was built by humans, but its meant to be passed through, not rested upon. Its nothing.

@@malikoniousjoe Apeirophobia is unironicly a great horror game

[@gnbman]

The only good Backrooms game I've seen is the one I played on Dreams PS4. The horror comes from the disorientation and rising paranoia as the layout of the Backrooms changes while you're not looking, and you start to feel like you're being followed by friggin' tables and chairs. There are a few monsters that you can encounter, but the encounters are random and unlikely to happen, especially if you're trying to avoid them. And even if you _are_ chased by a monster, the one I saw was a floating bright red light, which, unlike the cliche monsters in these games, is still more than abstract enough for your mind to fill in the gaps with subconscious horrors. The game was made years ago, back when the Backrooms idea was just starting to get popular.

[@SkeleTonHammer]

Unfortunately the backrooms is a lazy and not-scary idea based entirely on its ease of asset creation (literally 1 texture for the walls, floors, and ceiling, basic box geometry, etc.) so it's not surprising that there aren't any actual good ideas. The whole concept is like a cop-out so nobody has to actually be creative or put any work in, so that teenagers can all make the same rushed Unity games with the same "walk at you, touch you, game over" AI that lazy teenage game devs have become infamous for.

@@ex_philemon It's probably mostly nostalgia. Fashion has a cycle where an old look will come back into popularity, even if only for a small amount of time. So I don't see why it wouldn't apply to games, decor, art, etc.

[@edgerslayer]

@@ex_philemon I would argue you could feel nostalgic for something that has come to pass. Merriam-Webster's dictionary defines nostalgia as, "a wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition." It doesn't specify that you need to experience that time period, but for the sake of this let's use wistful. I agree though that there are games that use the feel or look of the 90s (or whatever other time period honestly) in an almost click-baity sort of way. The Backrooms 1998 doesn't need to be in the late 90s to work. Like you said, it really adds nothing, so it needs not to be included. I have seen a comment here or there referencing that the story about the child actual relates to a real murder. From a gameplay and story standpoint, it doesn't add anything. Even if it isn't true, then it shouldn't be added to the game like a main story element. Anyway, I think you're almost spot-on with how the developer uses the 90s as a sort of stylistic crutch. I don't really get nostalgia from the 90s at all either. I was born 2000, so I don't really get it either. I'm sure there's something out there that might give a sense of wistfulness, but not really a sense of nostalgia.

My enjoyment of Joel harassing the monster with his sick guitar skills is tainted by the fact that the game is based heavily on an actual case, so that monster pretty much represents an actual murdered child in my mind. My stomach turns too much to enjoy it fully. Imagine seeing a murdered child represented as a twisted abomination used for people's enjoyment. I get their idea, but their execution is way off, tastelessly so. They could have at least worked harder to alter the names from the actual case, it's not hard! At least this game has taught me that I actually do have standards. This feels like it's on the tier of those 3am challenges to summon people who have died to me personally.
