I love games like this but I just kind of wish u didn’t have to pay for practically the entire game😔 other than that this game is great and I will totally recommend to my friends who like this kind of stuff!! ### 2/5 — Hate it *2026-08-11, version 3.1* I don’t get the point and it is super creepy.It did have good graphics though.The dark water makes it 10 times creepier.I would not recommend. ### 2/5 — None *2026-08-06, version 3.1* 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 ### 3/5 — Listen up *2026-08-05, version 3.1* 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 ### 4/5 — Good but one thing… *2026-08-03, version 3.1* 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 ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-03, version 3.1* This game is even more fun then the other games that are poolrooms things that I’ve played i do agree that you should add a part two though I do understand there are six chapters which is very cool and it did take me a while to play the first version. I think it took me like 10 minutes and 49 seconds which is longer than most things that I do but still I wish that you guys were out a part two I’m about to buy the full game and see how that is but I’ve watched people play the full game already and it does seem a bit short considering that this game is pools ### 5/5 — Changes? *2026-08-03, version 3.1* I really love the game but I really wish it had a horror option because when it has really good graphics and really good potential to be a horror game In’sha’Allah you see this thank you ### 5/5 — The game is great, don’t listen to the critical reviews trust. *2026-08-02, version 3.1* The graphics in this game are truly outstanding, especially for mobile. I do have a newer phone, so I don’t know what the battery is like for older versions of iPhones, but so far this game has been incredible after playing through all the chapters. I can say that it was definitely worth just $10. I mean, how are these people not figuring out how to move. It’s the most basic controls that’s in every mobile game. I also see some people on the critical review saying that it’s just only pools but as you continue down the game, you will find that there are certain incredible environments such as (spoilers) a couple rooms that look just like level zero, a chessboard with hundreds of players that are statues (this I found particularly creepy), and of course, the enormous face submerged underwater. The only thing I could possibly ask for is a zoom button and the option to have a VHS filter, otherwise absolutely perfect 👌. If the game developer is seeing this, I know that so far you’ve just made one game, but it has been incredible and you truly have a talent. Please make more games just like this. This is absolutely wonderful.👍🙏👌 ### 5/5 — 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 *2026-08-02, version 3.1* Mind blown putting this on my best games list! ### 4/5 — Awesome sauce *2026-08-01, version 3.1* it’s rlly good but not that scary if you think abt it, you should make another version of the game where there’s like monsters-1 monster for each level :) ### 3/5 — Falta no pagar *2026-07-31, version 3.1* Muy chebre pero toca pagar para más niveles ### 5/5 — This is a good game *2026-07-31, version 2.0* This game is fun 10$ for the full game is a good price and I am thinking about buying. ### 5/5 — Very Impressive *2026-07-30, version 3.1* I’ve only played this game for 5 minutes and I’m very impressed with the graphics and attention to detail! And it’s free…God bless the game developers ### 5/5 — I loved the game so much there is no jumpscare !!!!! *2026-07-30, version 3.1* It’s so cool and awesome it took from me 3hours to find the exit in the first chapter 🤡🤡 believe me it deserves the game not of the day but the year !!, I absolutely loved the game! I really enjoyed the psychological atmosphere—it’s scary, tense, and constantly makes you feel like someone is watching you, even though there's nothing there! I'm definitely going to buy the full game. Huge thanks to the developers for this fantastic experience!💗 ### 5/5 — oml *2026-07-30, version 3.1* its actually rlly cool but i think u gotta pay for the next levels ### 5/5 — 𝓟𝓻𝓮𝓽𝓽𝔂 𝓖𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓘 𝓰𝓾𝓮𝓼𝓼 : 3 *2026-07-30, version 3.1* 𝓘𝓽'𝓼 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 𝓼𝓸 𝓯𝓪𝓻 𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮𝓷'𝓽 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝔂𝓮𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓯𝓾𝓵𝓵 𝓰𝓪𝓶𝓮 𝔂𝓮𝓽 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓾 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓹𝓪𝔂 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓱𝓸𝓵𝓮 𝓰𝓪𝓶𝓮 𝓼𝓸 𝓘 𝓸𝓷𝓵𝔂 𝓹𝓵𝓪𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓼𝓽 𝓹𝓪𝓻𝓽 0-0 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓯𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓭 𝓼𝓸 𝓯𝓪𝓻 𝓲𝓽'𝓼 𝓹𝓻𝓮𝓽𝓽𝔂 𝓰𝓸𝓸𝓭 : 3 🍼 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst *2026-08-07, version 3.1* Very boring ### 1/5 — You’re scary *2026-08-02, version 3.1* Don’t buy this game when you’re under a too scary.

Very frustrating. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-05-25, version 3.1* Whoever created this frustrating ui should be removed from app development. What a mess. Maybe a simple directional tab in the lower right corner? Total trash, not scary….just extremely irritating. Couldn’t even provide a simple help tab. ### 1/5 — So bad!!!!!!!! *2026-05-19, version 2.0* It is so creepy don’t get this for your kid they will be traumatised my son got so scared.

Still very replayable ### 5/5 — THIS IS A GREAT GAME FOR BACKROOMS FANS *2026-08-14, version 3.1* This game feels real and I have one question for the owner/Developer can you make one of that one level that has greens hills and houses on these hills please I like the gameplay ### 5/5 — No monsters suck👎😿😥😓 *2026-08-12, version 3.1* Please add monsters because I’m getting scared for no reason the anonymous percent is %1 billion 👍👏❤️❤️🥳🤩Just please add monsters. ### 5/5 — SO GOOD *2026-08-11, version 3.1* I love this game so much but I have to pay to play the whole game but I finished the first one and it looks so realistic I love it ### 5/5 — HOLY QUALITY *2026-08-11, version 3.1* Personally I really like how I can js explore and everything seems so real love it! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Omg amazing *2026-08-11, version 3.1* I can’t even believe this is a mobile game this is freaking amazing And so eerie I was on edge ugh so good ### 5/5 — Good but *2026-08-08, version 3.1* Very good but im not ptw so im wondering why cant i go thru 1 level ### 5/5 — Liminal architecture *2026-08-07, version 3.1* I am a huge fan of architecture and I really do love the game. It has so many beautiful pieces of architecture. The pool rooms is actually one of my favorite bathrooms level and I feel like this is the only way to experience the pool rooms in real life and it’s way better than a lot of other pool room games that have nonstop ad revenue, and a really cheap graphics by these graphics in this game the water it looks so beautiful whoever worked on this should definitely be an interior designer, and an architect ### 5/5 — This is cooler than me *2026-08-04, version 3.1* Please make more ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2026-08-04, version 3.1* Really cool game, but it could be better with entities.
