Super spooky absolutely loved the atmosphere of the game!~ I do plan to play the full release eventually!~
fix ur games i can't install it i bought two days ago
When u say shi like "i want the creators to subscribe to my channel" it makes u look like an absolute knobhead
NOBODY ASKED
The demo for this game is insanly good, I know some features are not in the demo despite having them like not being able to paint the walls or floors to mark your path, but it is still very good demo:
this game also available on iPad?
If Itch is on iPad then it probably is
La DEMO es excelente! Definitivamente voy a jugar el juego COMPLETO!
how the hell can i play this game when is a RAR file.
looks like your windows is corrupted
use winrar :)
welcome to the internet. your first stop should be google. thank me later
Very coool....
your main mistake was giving me a spray paint...
😭😂
made me shut up and listen xD overall good game!
The Demo was a BLAST! 🔥 I will DEFINITELY be playing the Full Game! 💯
never gonna play this game ever again D: pooped my pants while playing
I honestly tried to play this demo, but I can't do it. Every time I press TAB, something happens to the game and it no longer responds to any of the buttons. I can only look around and go to the menu...
I got this as part of an offer made on keymailer but I can't play it because it wants me to connect a controller after I'd launched it with a controller connected.
I tried relaunching without a controller hooked up but it still wants me to play with a controller, anything else I can do? location for the game settings files so I can delete them and get KB/M support back?
Great game
Thanks for making this awesome game!
Great scares! Great atmosphere!
Really delivers that unsettling vibe. If I wasn't so poor, I would've bought the Steam version! You should definitely play this game!
But I'm a bit disappointed that this demo has no use of the microphone mechanic...
this game was great with its horrific atmosphere great job and one part of the demo really got me reached a new octave
I didn't record the demo. But I recorded full official released - The portuguese title says in Part 1(P1): The Best Backrooms. Really? The last part I'll release tonight, then I bring here. The major enemy is not the "Parasite Entity" that controls Timmy, for me at least, and (but yes I mean) the Orange Man (ghost) who lure Timmy for you and unveil your hidden spot. hahahaha Nice game, I wish more like that buddy! Congratulations, each cents paid in this game pays itself at playing through, tho :
Hey I really enjoyed this! Definitely wanna check out the full release on Steam.
good asf, hella high quaity! It actually felt like actualt footage, and the anticipation to horror was nice too, and i like the microphone feature as well, encouraging you to be quiet IRL.
Nope still hunts me
Honestly scared the hell out of me!!
UN JUEGAZOO !!! con una historia que puede causarte pesadillass !!!
Creepy game. I can't wait to see more of it. Keep it up!
part2
Someone disliking all my post! THNX 4 THINKING OF ME
Scariest game I have played up to now and it was only a demo wow
I got too needing to find a key, is that as far as you can go? Also, if I purchase the game will I be able to pick up where I left off? Free version doesn't let you load and whenever I go to click new game it warns if I start I'll lose my progress
Very scary!
I will play this, then scream into my microphone as loud as possible
ohmygosh i didn't realize there was a mic off setting lol. honestly there aren't many games that scare me enough to not finish- actually i can only name one other game: visage. the scare factor within this game is absolutely bonkers and being able to mark walls is such a great concept. maybe one day i'll have enough strength within me to get through the full game :''''')
Really cool game and I love it. Kudos to the developers 👍
This is nice horror game.
