I got ripped off!

I got this game thinking it would be as good as It showed but NO I played trying to give it a chance I can’t even get past
Level 1 and the controls you can’t move character freely! pls fix it until that happens I don’t recommend getting it

Delightfully Eerie

I loved this game. It is odd in all the right ways, like a bad dream you cant wake up from. For only .99 its short, but worth it.

More, MORE, M.O.R.E.

Well, there’s only ONE word to describe this game…weird, bizarre, odd, strange, different, unusual. I enjoyed every second of this game, which was WAY too short and could have kept me captivated in front of my computer all day. A very well spent 99 cents. Looking for a few minutes to tickle your neurons? This is the game for you. It’ll take some cogitating but you’ll figure it out. Enjoy!

Short, but WOW— an amazing work of atmosphere

I’m gonna keep it a buck with you— I thought this was going to be Grade-A garbage with a capital “G”. NOPE! NOPE NOPE NOPE! I was SO wrong. I’ve never seen any point and clicks out there with *THIS* level of care put into the camera shots and filmography. If you showed this to me and told me that every shot of every room was shot practically, I’d be fooled harder than my dad when my mom said that she was on the pill! And I haven’t even STARTED talking about the atmosphere— GOOD GOD, the ATMOSPHERE!!!! Mister Doctor Professor Femiak— whatever you call yourself— you, sir, have made this short adventure into the most intimidating version of our favorite yellow monolith. You’ve nailed the Backrooms’ ability to make one feel utter dread— and even thought there’s not a single jumpscare in the entire thing (besides the TV guy waving at the camera, which I wasn’t expecting), I was shouting various nervous profanities in a (thankfully) empty house at my poor MacBook while trying to keep color codes straight in my head. You are salt of the earth— and I hope to your passion blossom further.
