Inside the Backrooms

Worst backrooms games i have ever played, the game is so buggy. Invisiable entities, phasing through the map and not respawning. I think a roblox backrooms games would be better

[h1]Inside the Backrooms – Puzzle, Creepy, Chaotic, and Full of Great Ideas[/h1] [b]My Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.2/5)[/b] [hr][/hr] [h2]First Impression / Background[/h2] After 100% completing Backrooms: Escape Together and nearly finishing every achievement in Escape the Backrooms, my friend and I wanted to try another Backrooms experience. Naturally, Inside the Backrooms was next. We played through the entire game together, unlocked every achievement, and experienced everything currently available. Even after playing several Backrooms games, this one still managed to create some unique horror moments that surprised me. [hr][/hr] [h2]Gameplay / Puzzles / Co-op[/h2] Inside the Backrooms focuses much more on puzzles and teamwork compared to many other Backrooms games. The gameplay loop is simple: explore different environments, solve puzzles, collect items, avoid entities, and find your way forward. The biggest strength is definitely the co-op experience. Many puzzles require communication, remembering multiple steps, or splitting tasks between players. However, the game sometimes does a poor job explaining what you are actually supposed to do. There is no real story at the moment, although I am not sure if the game really needs one. Some puzzles can feel like random trial and error at first, but once you understand the mechanics, the game becomes much easier. The achievement system was also surprisingly enjoyable. As someone who likes completing games fully, I appreciated that the achievements were challenging but still realistic. [hr][/hr] [h2]Atmosphere / Horror[/h2] The biggest strength of Inside the Backrooms is the atmosphere. The game focuses less on constant jumpscares and more on uncertainty. The empty environments, strange sounds, and feeling that something could appear at any moment create a strong horror experience. The ambient audio is one of the best parts of the game. Some sounds and melodies are genuinely memorable and fit the Backrooms feeling perfectly. Level Fun is a good example. The Daisy song works extremely well with the strange and chaotic atmosphere. However, I still think Escape the Backrooms handled the level slightly better, especially because of the music. [hr][/hr] [h2]Best Level – Train Station / Level 80[/h2] Without a doubt, my favorite level. The reason is simple: [b]The Lurker.[/b] This entity works so well because the game barely explains anything about it. You hear strange sounds, you know something is nearby, but you never know when it will appear. That uncertainty creates the horror. The connection between the Poolrooms and Train Station was also a great detail. The whole route was easily my favorite part of the game. [hr][/hr] [h2]Entities / Difficulty[/h2] The Lurker is definitely the strongest entity in the game, but the Smilers were also memorable. Unfortunately, not every entity is equally good. Some AI behavior feels inconsistent, with enemies sometimes walking through doors or becoming predictable after repeated encounters. The difficulty is also mixed. Some sections are genuinely challenging because of the puzzles and teamwork required, while other moments feel frustrating because of unclear objectives or inconsistent mechanics. [hr][/hr] [h2]Graphics / Problems[/h2] You can definitely tell that Inside the Backrooms is an older Backrooms game. Compared to newer games like Escape the Backrooms or Backrooms: Escape Together, the visuals are more outdated and sometimes look a little rough. However, the VHS effect from the Hazard Suit is a great addition and fits the classic Backrooms style really well. The game also has some bugs. Luckily, nothing completely ruined our experience. Some bugs were even funny and almost fitting because of how strange the Backrooms concept already is. [hr][/hr] [h2]Conclusion / Personal Take[/h2] Inside the Backrooms is a solid co-op horror experience with a strong focus on puzzles, atmosphere, and teamwork. It is not the most polished Backrooms game anymore, and the AI, bugs, and unclear puzzles hold it back. But it still creates some genuinely memorable moments, especially with levels like Train Station and entities like The Lurker. After completing everything currently available with my friend, I can say that we had a great time and will definitely return when new updates release. For Backrooms fans, horror fans, and players who enjoy co-op puzzle games, Inside the Backrooms is definitely worth trying. [b]Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.2/5)[/b] A creepy horror puzzele and creative Backrooms experience with great atmosphere and memorable moments, but held back by technical issues and a lack of polish (like story, graphics and more) . Also the game is fun to speedrun!
