Having an issue with the launcher. When it loads it starts to download the game. When it hits 4gb on the download it jumps to 5.2gb when it's only a 4.31gb download. Then it downloads to just under 9gb. says 100%.The game loads and you can hear the audio. But the screen stays black and no video loads. I even typed play to see if it would just load the play file, but even then, the audio loads but no video.
This might be the worst backrooms clone I've ever played. It's just a small forest map and that's it. If there's some secret method to trigger the next level or whatever. Then you've honestly failed as an indie developer.
It is heavily work in progress and many features and gameplay mechanics are missing in this initial release. I will add them again gradually. Read the new posts
For now you need to type PLAY and the Level name you want to access, like PLAY LEVEL 0 PART 3. I will add transitions later one by one, first from the Forest Scene into the first part of Level 0 and so on. They will all be connected with gameplay that currently is not made, so it needs time to finish. The release, for steam that is, is set for the 25th December and the game will be patched after that as well.
Also the game is free, so no obligation to play and feel betrayed.
I'm confused on the newest version of how to get past the very first house area. I've tried doing what the earlier version does, but nothing seems to trigger it.
The game is still heavy in development, and many features and gameplay mechanics are missing in this initial release. They will follow, a bit more patience
In the Menu Scene, when writing the Command PLAY it will start the Intro Scene that leads to the Frontrooms (e.g. PLAY FRONTROOMS). But when you write Play and any of the available Levels in the following List it will get you to that Scene.
Try PLAY EARTH
Intro
Menu
Earth
Frontrooms
Level 0
Level 0 Part 3 (contains Subscenes Async & Lab)
Level 0.1 (contains Subscene Backstage)
Level 4
Level 6
Level 7
Level 8
Level 9 (contains Subscene Level 0.4)
Level 10
Level 37
Level 94
Level 95 (Emtpy)
Level 231 (contrains Subscene Level 188)
The End (Empty)
The Hub
EARTH LEVEL:
Press the number buttons 1 to 8 to get to hotspots around the world and see the cities through the lens of Backrooms VHS and its filters.
In the old version in the archive the player dropped after a minute and switched to the level 0. Now it is nothing and I will add an animation of the playable character that after it is played wil drop into the Backrooms, so you will not be able to walk and move on your own in the future, so enjoy the forest and check out the other work in progress maps or wait for when I have a finished build to deliver
I cant wait for another update and the full release, this game has everything going for it, I hope this game will be even better than I think of it right now, love this game dude, also, enjoy this trailer I made :)
please noooo, don’t do this. The atmosphere is perfect and a monster would be too over the top. There’s plenty of back rooms games with monsters already 😭
For some weird reason, sometimes when I hit a random thing on my keyboard at the start where it gives you codes or something. it starts to bug out and I don't know how to fix I.
Hello so I am trying to join friend and my character makes it into the game but I am still on the typing screen to join... do you know what I am doing wrong?
Hey, the game looks perfect, but the moment I start it, after the logo Screen the screen turns black and the green text is blink intermittently without being able to do anything

Can you provide me the log files inside the launcher folder, and maybe create the debug report in the settings. Thanks

maybe if you had an attention span higher than 3 seconds you would realize there's more to the game
Most people these days can't last through a simple playthrough without a bunch of memes cluttering the screen to occupy their baby brains.
I'm confused on the newest version of how to get past the very first house area. I've tried doing what the earlier version does, but nothing seems to trigger it.

Very well done with the visuals and I did like the length of the game! Thanks
can you add a monster please?
please noooo, don’t do this. The atmosphere is perfect and a monster would be too over the top. There’s plenty of back rooms games with monsters already 😭
This game doesn't need a monster. Here everything works on the atmosphere, there are so many games with monsters, and without them it’s rare.

what do i need to do?
For some weird reason, sometimes when I hit a random thing on my keyboard at the start where it gives you codes or something. it starts to bug out and I don't know how to fix I.
