in recent months it seems as though the backrooms has once again begun to spike back in popularity
with its incredibly eerie atmosphere and its strange liminal appearance it's no stranger
that the backrooms is a very unique take on horror ever since 2019 this singular creepypasta sprouted
throughout multiple different types of genres across the internet with the creepypasta and now
having numerous different levels to them having interesting and cool spin-offs based off of the
idea multiple films and videos off of it etc ever since the creation of this one picture in 2019
the creepypasta has since then grown on to become its own full-fledged masterpiece even though it's
incredibly simple the possibilities and creativity from this photo was almost ironically enough
endless however throughout all the different types of genres the backrooms have seen itself in one of
the more interesting categories the back rooms is in is the various games based off of it while most
of these games are strange to say the very least each of these games have their own individual
take on what the backrooms are and today i'll be playing some of these games and seeing if they're
at all any spooky so without further ado let's explore some of the many uncanny backroom games
so the first backroom game we'll be playing is backroom's horror escape escape the endless
hallways explore the back rooms carefully and when you see the monster use your gun to shoot him
and make sure to avoid him or you'll be in danger if you shoot them all then you can escape the
back rooms ah yes very nostalgic and eerie like the bathrooms was intended to be okay so almost
immediately the first thing to note here is that holy crap we have a gun and holy crap this game
is terrible now obviously this being a back room's game it takes place in you guessed it the regular
batteries have a good sleep with the old and decaying office walls the buzzing of the lights
and the moist carpet when you spawn in spooky generic scp ambience plays in the background
while you try to escape the scary backrooms so the worst thing about this game is easily the movement
for some reason there is absolutely no joystick the way you walk around in this game is simply
tapping anywhere on your screen the problem is that i can't take a moment to look around the
environment without promptly walking this is especially bad during combat as you might have
guessed already this game contains spooky monsters well what exactly are the monsters you might ask
this this is the thing you have to find the game for some reason the monster doesn't actually move
towards you until you get up close to it there's some of the worst combat i've ever experienced
ensues so for one the monsters in this game are extremely tanky taking up to half your clip just
to kill one of the monsters and if the monster gets too close to you then for some reason you
can't even shoot anymore due to the janky hitbox otherwise the only problem is that the movement in
this game is absolutely terrible having to shoot the monster for a couple of seconds only to walk
and turn around in the most awkward way possible only to then turn around again and shoot it yeah
the gameplay is not really that good the worst part about this is that the monster isn't even
threatening in the slightest it's very slow and it takes multiple hits just for it to kill you
but what makes this so difficult is the fact that i can't even look around and walk separately
running and gunning isn't also a very good idea because upon shooting your gun while walking
the camera becomes really glitchy having the camera shoot off into a different direction every
time you fire the gun and combined with the fact that this game in general just looks like poopy
and you have yourself some of the worst combat in the history of mobile games in backroom's horror
escape this game has a leveling system the more levels you complete the more monsters you have
to kill when you do eventually win the level you don't actually escape the back rooms and finally
be free like the game says you just go back to the back rooms again and also when you kill
the monsters they make the same death sounds the zombie from terraria makes which is quite strange
there is no reloading in this game so if you end up wasting your bullets you won't be able
to fire again thankfully for you though around this map is a bunch of ammo lying on the floor
very liminal of this game i mean what is the story of this you no clip into the back rooms with a gun
so you grab a glock and start shooting league of legends monsters while ammo is found lying all
over the floor wow this game is very immersive looking at the app store of backroom's horror
escape the game just has 16 ratings that rounds up to a 2.4 it seems that this game was actually
even more glitchy in its original state as the most recent update of this game says it fixed
the levels and controls so make of that what you will this game is overall just really bad
there's not really any redeeming qualities for this game the movement is bad the graphics are
doo-doo the game is on scary and the monsters look stupid welp time to go to the next game
so the next game we'll be playing is the backroom survival game
and wow this game looks like it was made in roblox so basically the premise of backroom survival game
is that you are stuck in the back rooms as usual and you need to find your way out of the spooky
dimension while the monster looks around every corner thankfully unlike the last game backroom
survival game does actually support a joystick but even then it's not saying much since looking
around the area with it doesn't exactly feel solid we also don't have a gun making us presumably more
vulnerable from the monster but as it turns out no the monster isn't actually that dangerous
the monster in this game is exactly like the one you'd see in the backroom film by kane pixels
like the last game the monster is extremely slow the only way to activate it is to get near it
due to this the game can actually be really easy since as long as you know where the monster is you
can basically just free roam the map eventually finding the exit since all it ever does is stand
still and that's not even saying that you're in full danger when the monster notices you because
for some reason whenever you run only 12 feet away from the monster it just kind of gives up even as
the levels go by the monster doesn't run faster it becomes harder to dodge it's still just the same
slow monster from level 1 to 5. naturally this game takes place in the back rooms that's quite
obvious but when you complete the levels over five times you now get teleported into a new area which
i assume is merely another level of the back rooms as now instead of the area being amazed with walls
everywhere now there's just pillars everywhere with the exit being on one of them speaking of
the exits by the way even though it says exit you actually don't escape you just simply go into the
next level while the game obviously takes place in a maze i found myself escaping each level and
at most under two minutes in fact let's see how fast we can actually get out of one of these areas
yay according to the about page on this game it turns out that this is an early beta and is
currently in development so i guess that explains why this game feels so empty in the app store the
description of this game reads escape from the back rooms welcome to the backrooms game it's a
survival horror game where you have to run and explore the empty back rooms and escape from
the monster chasing you the game appears to get constantly updated with the game only having 89
ratings of a 3.1 some of the reviews of this game says poorly developed has potential unplayable and
scary but bad now hang on a minute so if this game just keeps changing levels every five chapters
does that mean that there's actually an ending to this game can i actually be free from the
back rooms well upon further inspection when you beat the next five chapters of the second level
you just go back to the beginning wow in conclusion this game is a hot piece of garbage
the third game we're gonna be playing is backrooms run run and get out asap so you
know those ads that you see when watching videos where the premise of the games are just running in
a straight line dodging obstacles yeah this game is pretty much just that in terms of the ratings
this one is actually the lowest by far with just 6 ratings for a 2.3 a weird thing to know in this
game on the app store is that there seems to be some sort of story arc happening in the reviews
i hate this game because it keeps killing me when i barely touch a wall
ensuing this game for 100 dollars fix your game before i do it or else skill issue
so now we're actually in the game and like 90 of all the mobile games on the app store it's
just running in a straight line trying to dodge obstacles yay you can tell i really enjoy this
game so basically the obstacles that you have to avoid in this game mainly consist of these random
moving walls with a yellow box in the center of them that you have to break in order to progress
there's also other obstacles like fire comically large hammers and spiraling walls a unique thing
that this game does is actually letting you go at your own pace when trying to run through the level
though you won't actually be completely still as once you come to a halt you move forward just a
little bit slower so don't expect to just wait out most of these obstacles when you play this
if you ever play this a really annoying thing about backrooms run is that upon
beating every two levels approximately you get drum rolls please a video game advertisement
i mean what is this thankfully this game allows you to skip them after about five seconds
so that was pretty nice but this does mean that over the course of the game at least 20 percent
of the gameplay is just watching and skipping ads other than the fact that this game is kind
of terrible there's not really much else to talk about in this i mean what did you expect me to
make a 30 minute video analyzing back rooms run and how it's a masterpiece of the video game genre
backrooms run as some of the most sophisticated and greatest games ever made by man the game
commentates quite frequently about the philosophy of our species and how we're doomed to grace a
never-ending fate of boredom and envy in the scene right here where the character goes to the door
of the void all of a sudden out of seemingly nowhere an ad starts playing and commentates
about the dreadful philosophy of homeless dogs the ads message is very subtle to the average viewer
but believe it or not the advertisement is actually a reference to how i feel when i wasted
half an hour playing a backrooms game another message of backroom's run can also be seen in
just the gameplay the character in the hazard suit just seems to be running in a straight line
and believe it or not the character running in a straight line is actually a reference to
the third president of iran and his unwillingness to play fortnite with me
anywho that's all the messages i can truly convey to you in this video game there are
so many more subtle messages about humanity in the iranian presidents but you'll have to play
this masterpiece of a game for yourself to find out about them i give this game a 2.01 out of 2.
bro the next game we're going to be playing is backrooms horror escape
wait a minute this game has the same name as the other one that i played a few minutes ago
that's kind of strange but i suppose we can just refer to this one as the sequel
so believe it or not i actually found this game to be quite polished for being a mobile game
the graphics were fairly decent not looking totally bad for once the movement and gameplay
in this was very solid just about everything in this game is pretty much a step up from the last
few games we've been playing when you spawn in you are equipped with this watch timer that lets
you know how long you survived and how far you traveled this will be useful as you are going
to die a lot in this game which i'll get back to later the creature in this game was actually
really unpredictable when it came to knowing what move it would make next sometimes it would make
sounds nearby others the game would just kill you without being able to see it and occasionally you
could see the monster in this game but for some reason it wouldn't appear to chase you due to
the unpredictable pathfinding of the monster this game managed to feel like each round was new and
different there was a point in my playthrough where i saw the strange dark aura on the walls
and when i touched it i was completely teleported to a new place where now the backroom lights were
off and the ambience got a lot more sinister and man the ambience in this game was pretty okay for
the most part but as much as i want to talk good about this game there is one huge problem that
this game holds that makes me not rate this game even further and that's the extremely spammy and
vibe ruining moments of the ads now most mobile games would play an ad here and there from time
to time again but this game played an ad when you literally clicked anything if you lost click the
replay button started up the game god jumpscared press literally any button in this game and
chances are you'll get an ad it's so bad to the point where most of the reviews in this game give
it a low rating simply because of the ends they just won't stop coming no matter what i did and
also this game tends to kill you very quickly in most cases i would be walking and i would suddenly
just die for no reason sometimes i couldn't even survive 20 seconds in this game without again
dying randomly and combined with the fact that an ad plays every time you clicked anything and now
you have a game that only has gameplay for about 60 of the time with 40 just being watching ads
and also at one point in the game i just proceeded to sync out of the worlds for no apparent reason
so that was interesting why is he just standing there whoa what what the heck what what
you're a gamer right oh i'm going to show you something cool because i found an if you didn't
find it going back to that dark room area as well there didn't seem to actually be a monster in this
place as after 10 minutes of doing nothing there was pretty much no sign of the creature anywhere
i even tried to escape the area but i couldn't seem to find any exit anywhere
so i think these dark rooms are really just some sort of purgatory rather than a threat
so yeah although i really do want to rate this game a lot higher than the last titles we played
the spammy ads and short survivability of this game makes me just want to delete it
like i'm so confused where do you go in this game like oh oh i don't no i don't want to play war
[ __ ] now of course if the ad simply just didn't exist maybe the game wouldn't be so terrible but
the only two words i can describe in this game is game bad so that's all the backroom games i'm
gonna be playing today i'm aware i very well could have reviewed a lot more of these backroom titles
but the back rooms naturally being a very simple premise most of the games ended up being the exact
same but yeah these games were pretty interesting while i didn't particularly find these games scary
and some of these were albeit kind of boring most of the games were pretty okay i guess
so yeah thank you for watching this video and i'll see you sometime in the future goodbye
you
