Charging money just to open a map? At least I could tolerate watching ads. It's not that I don't have money, it's just that I can't stand having to pay for everything

This game is by far the best liminal game out there but 10$ for 30 minute lasting 6 chapters Thats only over 200 minutes of play time which may seem like a lot but for something that you’d only play for like a month in a half at least make it less than 5$ thank you for this amazing experience

Awesome Game

Really cool game, but it could be better with entities. Graphics are great, and the sound is perfect. No complaints.

Good but one thing…

This is the first good Backrooms game I’ve played and part one was amazing! But it kinda sucks that everything else costs money. As a kid with a budget, (allowance) this puts it down a star. But otherwise, it’s a great game 4/5 stars
