huge props to the creator. this is the most realistic playable backrooms game we have access to so far. no idea if the dev plans to add more gameplay (monsters, puzzles etc) this would be insane
I busted out laughing @6:30 when he came across that weird mannequin thing. The only thing I could think was "that's gonna move if you don't look at it" and then he tests it real quick hahaha clearly he's a gamer
I think it's inspired from that "dark web" found footage mascots that has something to do with soups, if I remember correctly. Makes a great homage and easter egg.
@@StainderFin Some backrooms vids are Unreal Engine based CGI originals which are not games, I was saddened to learn, as they are gorgeously done. But, yeah. This one's a full on game, which is in development. Was done in Unreal 5, too. Love the VHS viewfinder effect, though it would be nice to have the option to have natural vision effect, too.
What I don't get is that a lot of these seminal Backrooms series(Kane Pixels among others) are created by young folks who were born after 2000. The atmosphere captured is one that was unique to LIVING in the 90s. The backrooms feel like any non-descript place in the 90s to me. What I don't get is that, I don't think there's enough source material photos or videos to copy this aesthetic from but they managed to do it perfectly.
It feels like the Backrooms craze has died down quite a bit since two years ago. Even Kane's film seems to have faded from memory. But this game and its predecessor are still something special. They're incredibly realistic, with smooth transitions that draw you in. But what really gets under your skin is the tension they create, that spine-tingling, uneasy feeling that few other Backrooms games manage to achieve. The true horror of this place doesn't just come from the creepy creatures lurking around-it's the slow descent into madness that grips you the longer you stay. Trapped in a maze of eerie, almost-but-not-quite-real rooms, you start to question everything. Are those footsteps behind you real, or just your mind playing tricks? And with no way out, no hope of going back to the world you knew, the fear only grows. In the Backrooms, you're on your own. No one knows where you are, and even if they did, they couldn't reach you. It's a place beyond time and space, where reality itself seems to bend and warp. Ultimately, your fate in the Backrooms is sealed-whether it's the clutches of a terrifying monster or the slow, agonizing descent into hunger, thirst, and madness, death is inevitable.
9:23: Right by the coffee station? I gotta tell you, I'm taking my chances and pouring myself a cup and sitting myself down in one of those comfy-looking chairs you passed right before the coffee station. Because it might be the very last pleasurable thing I get to experience!
I think my Backrooms fascination began when I discovered pics of Pripyat & Chernobyl in the early ‘90s and learning there was music echoing through the town so clean up guys had something to listen to and didn’t get spooked by, well, the back rooms vibes of it. ❤
The complex: found footage was absolutely terrifying for me. I had no idea if there was any monster or anything like that. And for the longest time I assumed not. Until I saw something quickly enter a room while entering a hallway…
This place is disturbingly similar to that which I've been to so many times in my dreams/borderline nightmares. Offering the sanctuary of solitude within the depths of a near-unfathomable maze of seemingly empty rooms and passages, yet the omnipresent fear of mortal danger lurking just around every corner. Brilliantly done.
@mmmmmmmmmmm10 A lot of people have had variations of dreams like this because the fear of "being lost" and the "unknown" are super common. I used to have a reoccurring one that I was lost in neverending woods as a child. It's normal.
Thank you for the No commentary and game volume up. I tried to watch 3 others before yours. The game volume was so low that I couldn't understand what was being said at the start and they kept talking over the game.
Trust me you don’t want that. In the future people will be trapped in virtual reality backrooms and won’t be able to escape. Minutes will feel like hours. Hours will feel like days. You won’t be able to escape. It will truly be a nightmare you wish you never asked for.
I beat the later levels just taking a right turn whenever I could, and I blazed through the last 7 levels with zero detours. I don't know if it's meant to work like that, but it sure was helpful for me. I've also beaten some previous levels by going left every time, and I explored most of the level, sometimes visiting the same area multiple times before finding the elevator. The levels are very maze-like and I can't tell if they are completely euclidean or they actually turn in on themselves. Very cool cosmic horror concept.
Basically playing on the latent childhood fear of being abandoned and lost in a grown up place where you don't know how anything works and can't ask for help.
اللعبة حلوه وممتعة بس في بالي عدة اسئلة بخصوص الغرف في منتصف اللعبه بدأت افكر كيف وصلت الاشياء بمناطق مختلفه بشكلٍ عشوائي؟ لكن في النهاية بدأت ارسم نظرية بخصوصها على العموم انا ما اعرف شي عن اللعبة وهذا اول مقطع اشوفه. لما وصلت الشخصية لنهاية الطريق بعد مالقى الشريط الاصفر كان فيه اماكن ماكانت موجوده في بداية اللعبة وهذا له احتمال وهو ان المنطقة الي دخل منها موجوده أساسًا في المنطقة المجهولة يعني ان ذيك المنطقه اما انها تستنسخ المناطق الموصلة بها او ان اساس المنطقة المجهولة هو هذي المناطق واستولى عليها الوحش ، لكن هذا الاحتمال يترك تساؤل هو وين باقي الاغراض ؟ ليس فقط أرفف على سبيل المثال؟ لكن هذا السؤال له اجابه افتراضية هو ان العاملين ادركوا بوصول الوحش فبتالي اخلوا المنطقة هنا سؤال اخر على افتراض اخلاء المنطقة هل يعني ادراكهم بان الوحش له قدره على الاستيلاء بالمناطق ؟ بس غريب نوعًا ما لان فيه مناطق صعب تفسيرها مثل الطابق الي فيه مويه او كون الوحش ما مسك الشخصية لما شافتها وايش قصة الدمية الي قابلت الشخصية 3 مرات بدون ما تفعل ردة فعل وأيضًا من علامة انك في مدخل او مخرج منطقة الوحش هو الزلزال مثل ما ظهر في البداية والنهاية. على العموم هذي التساؤلات تترك اثر في ذاكرة الاعب او المشاهد وهذا الشي الي يخليها ممتعة ومميزه.
I love that the point of the backrooms is to remind us of a dream that makes us uncomfortable, like I've already seen that place but at the same time no and it's so empty and something is missing and something's gonna happen then nothing happens wtf it's gonna happen soon why does nothing happen. makes us kinda crazy and overreacting to everything, yet very calm and peaceful. I dreamed I was in the backrooms, with my friends, and we were searching for a way out. at a moment we lost someone : total panic. yet I really loved this dream (I knew it was a dream, it happens often to me to have a dream while knowing it's a dream) and was disappointed to wake up.
Oh geez 😐 whole time I watched i seriously couldn't tell if it was a videogame, some VR thing or a very well made place in real life 😅 that was cool. 😄
I love this one. Probably my favorite. On a smaller note (but still makes a big difference) I really like that the respirator and footsteps aren’t overbearing in the audio mix. A lot of times in these BR games and found footage movies it’s just too much. The stepping sounds in particular can sound too artificial and/or too loud.
Feels like this game would have to be pretty linear and not have a lot of 'off the beaten path' to explore, with all paths sort of re-converging on the correct one. Otherwise it would be probably a lot of procedural generation with less concept fidelity. But it looks fantastic. It just really seems like the vastness and the idea of 'getting lost' in there is a bit of an illusion. Then again I would imagine that the more vast you make the Backrooms, the more the real life doldrums would set in exploring it, as you'd expect they would if you were there IRL.
@@dingaonhockey Makes me think of the timer in SMB. It's more there to remind the developer that 'you only have about this long to keep a kid's attention so don't make your levels much longer than this or they'll tune out' lol.
Weirdly enough, I feel like the level design is good enough to get you to gravitate in certain directions, but I haven't actually played it yet. Just seems like the guy playing in this video goes where I would also go a good deal of the time and never seems to backtrack. A lot of times in games I'll see a path and go check another one first, then come back to explore, but the only time I noticed it is towards the end where he opens a door and it's dark, turns around, and then ends up getting taken somewhere else.
There's a level design meta you can attach to that really takes away the feeling, it's a curse of knowing game design. For example it's a bit of a pain to make levels with lots of verticality and overlapping segments, so most of the time you're dealing with a simple 2d plane regardless of height variation. Secondly they'll often honeycomb any diverging paths so that things flow towards the primary path. Lastly the goal is often at the end of a path, rather than in the middle (because otherwise what did i make all this extra space for etc). This means you need to only find the "edge" of the plane and can then simply walk forward without much thought and always end up at the right spot. It is very difficult to avoid this "designers compass" without also ruining your level design, they are sort of the same concept.
When i saw that carousel flasbacks of silent hill 3 on and that mannequin ,he switched off the light immediately lol. Good video the lore continues. The train part is definitely half life 2. Hmmmmmmmmm
38:23 In any case, it looks better than just a screamer, after that you don't leave the thought that this thing is watching you, although there will be no more attacks from this soup doll
Man this looks so good and the dialogue is so organic. But I’m so sick of reading about all the crazy shit and entities amongst the back rooms and all we ever get are complex simulators. Just empty space.
If you want entities other games have them the backrooms and liminal space are based on the feeling of something being their with you but thye actually aren't
I played some of this kind of games and enjoyed it, without knowing why. After thinking about it, i may have some reasons. First i grew up on an industrial farm, our sheds for pigs and cattle, were long buildings with one hallway and doors to the cells, with small windows to look inside. Everytime there was a thunderstorm a flash would hit the sheds, startling an alarm, demanding to cross the street, since our living building was on the other side of the road. I was a youg kid, maybe 8 yo. And when my parents left to party in a swinger club every friday and saturday night, i was forced to enter these sheds without power and screaming animals, and walk down the hallways in complete dark, with pigs and cows screaming like they`re dying. At the end of the hallways there was one PC that controlled the entire shed, like airco, food and water supplies. These computers, contained one small display, that was put into the drive bays. It could only display black/orange. Every time there was a thunderstorm, a flash would hit the sheds, putting the power off and start a loud siren as alarm. Until all systems were running again, the siren wouldn't stop. Me, as an 8 yo boy, had to enter the shed in complete dark, during a thunderstorm, with hundreds of animals screaming. I literally had to wander through a 300m long hallway with a flashlight, with about 30 doors on one side, with hundred of animals screaming in panic, and windows to the outside, that would allow flashes to come through. At the end of the hallways, there were the computers, that run everything. These had their own power connection and my task was to re setup everything so the pc with Win3.11 could take over the control again. I experienced the baldest horror of humanity, like rapes and other violence...... but those nights.... When ur 8yo, alone in the middle of nowhere, during a thunderstorm, and you should enter a long building in the complete dark, only with a flashlight, and hundreds of animals are screaming like they`re dying behind all these doors with small windows, on the way, that you need to take to come to that small pc.......with a small orange glowing monitor in its case (like LGR did some review) at the end, of the loudest and darkest, but also loniest hallway you can imagine. Tbh. As a kid i was super brave ffs! No one could force me now into a pig shed with thousands of screaming animals, in the middle of the night, during a storm with flashes that would come through the windows of the right side of these hallways.
The premise of the game is excellent, but I do miss better sound treatment, echoes, noises, or something that tells me I'm really there. If that immersive atmosphere is created, it will probably be the best game of this style to date
So idk if this is true but can you die in this game? I never died once when I fully completed it but always wanted to know if you fail do you have to restart that same level.
@@80TheMadLord08 Yeah you're right, it was shown in the game cause it was actually an irl broadcast, The game isn't that bad, The plot and narrative is made to be vague for us to interpret
I wasn't talking about the plot (although that's rough in itself) I was talking about the terrible game mechanics. 'rule of six' (which I'll admit an update they released allowed players to add a few extra inventory slots. But even then, it shouldn't have been like that from the start, as Resident Evil Origins showed how bad that is) And the worst of all... 'Touch damage'... that is an archaic mechanic that shouldn't have been implemented, even games as old as silent hill 1 didn't use 'touch damage'. @@ColonelMonarch
This is happened they died please support this cause some researchers did that they made the idea how they died there in that threshold they need more support
Just saying anyone ever thought about stripping the back rooms for raw or material? Think about it If the world knew of this and people strip moiste carpet wall paper light bulbs shopping carts coffee makers can slap a lable on it and say back room da da da pocket dimension item's make a killing in the market lmfao
This play-through would be better if the player hadn’t obviously played the game many times before recording it. It ruins the experience for the viewers.
Very obvious, he knew exactly where to do, exactly where to look, exactly when to act scared, exactly when to turn around. It was good acting. If I was playing first time, I wouldn't leave a corner of a room uninspected, he breezed through.
Damn most of the times ..the cameta man falls to his death in the backrooms or when out of it ...maybe besides their suit they should also have parachutes... you dont even know what you may need with you...
No lo sé pero tampoco se porque no me deja comentar normal así que solo puedo responder xd,el por 2 de velocidad se ve igual de lento todo el juego xdxdxdddx
Es wäre ja irgendwie mega realischtisch aber so so wie sich die Charakter bewegen und vorallem die fehlende Schritte die nicht zu hören sind ist es halt ein Spiel. Also ich würde es mega feiern wenn es die Wirklichkeit wäre.
