Terrible
It’s a start
First off, WAY too many ads. There’s a short ad after every task you complete (basically every 2-5 minutes) plus one huge 30 second ad if you want to get another attempt to kill the boss entity.
The combat mechanics of the game are garbage, one swipe from the boss entity and you’re dead. You’re supposed to eliminate him using a robotic hand tool, but it’s difficult to gage how close he needs to get before he’s in range, meaning by the time he appears close enough to fight he’s already killed you and you must now either watch a 30 second ad or restart the entire game.
There’s a clown entity that wanders around, doesn’t even try to kill you as far as I could tell. Scary entity but it would be more fun if there was more of a danger element, however that level area is so small that for the clown to chase you would make the level impossible.
Which brings me to my next point, the levels are incredibly small areas which detracts from the infinite atmosphere that makes the Backrooms so spookily alluring. There’s also background music throughout the entire game which, although fitting, detracts significantly from the liminal horror that draws most players to these games. Sound effects like buzzing lights and footsteps would make this game way spookier and more fun to play.
It a shame to give it only 2 stars because there is so much done well with this, but what’s done well is overshadowed and ruined by what’s done poorly. Please fix these issues.
