I own the game on steam and it's fun for a bit but definitely needs some work. All three girls behave almost entirely the same and besides the sex scenes it's kind of boring to play. You end up wandering way too much, it would be good if there was a sonar upgrade that pinged certain things by sound occasionally just so you cam have some sort of direction (and I know there is the radar but it's only for the ladder and exit, and it's one time use). I think the girls also need different ways to avoid or deal with them so that the gameplay isn't just running away and hiding occasionally. I also think it's kind of crap that the flashlight upgrades have to be in your inventory to use, I'd rather them be made more expensive and be permanently equipped. Those are really my main gripes though, this is still a good game but there is just a lot of dead space in between actually doing stuff where you are just wandering.
It's less "why not." And more "this isn't a good idea." Patreon and Public have always had it's place, it's Good for a free game, but I don't imagine myself buying this any time soon.
I don't even think there's that major of a difference than what I played? Back when the Office was introduced, that seems to be.. no different than the paid version. (Which is a whopping 12 dollars! Both Escape the Backrooms and Backrooms: Escape Together are cheaper! 9.99!)
Everybody has their right to pay, and I didn't mind anybody supporting the game on Patreon, but to lock it to well. Make it Paid only? Not even a demo? Come on, that's just a little pathetic.
Nah, I feel that whole heartedly. This shit is NOT worth twelve bucks, man. Horribly monotonous gameplay, severely underwhelming sex scenes, and absolutely little in the way of replay value. And like, the devs had to have known this much, too, because nowadays there's literally an option in game to just.. skip out on playing the actual game at all? Just skipping straight to the sex. Again, the really, really tame sex scenes. Can't even wing yo' ding to this thing comfortably due to the awkward free-cam controls during them. Ought to've taken a page from that one Freddy Fazbear smut spoof game here on Itch and how it handles it's sex scenes. In fact, that game, "Frenni something or another," it's literally just this game but better. Lmao
I don't understand you guys. Every content has its own audience, some people like these terrible sex scene animations and they are ready to pay 12 bucks. I support the developer from a financial point of view. There are indie games that are released only as paid, some are free-to-play + Patreon. The developer chose a financial income model - it's his choice, his game. Not your game, not your problem. Who wants to will buy it, who doesn't want to won't buy it or will find a way to download it for free. You don't like something about this? You have a choice
I mean.. You could go about that with that train of thought, it wouldn't really hurt anybody.. but yourself I guess.
But if you want to make your name to a wider audience, you're going to have to put more effort in for a 12 dollar game only. Now, if it was free, that's another thing to that. But you can't forget about the financial point of view.. of well, y'know. Your Customers? Like I mentioned before, there are two fully fledge backroom games, that you keep, forever, and spend money once for 9.99 (one of which is currently on sale for 7.99) The lack of content in combination of being more than the competitors.. That's, not exactly a savvy business decision if they're wanting to be financed. The least they could do is be of equal price, definitely not more, ROFL.
It's also our choice to pay for it or not, kinda my last point before but I digress. That kind of expressive: "If you don't like it don't buy it!" Doesn't make the game look, y'know.. Something that I'd want to buy in the first place. The Grander issue is: The Game is over priced, little to zero content in terms of the price, what content in the game does not contain enough quality, and competitors make better games, cheaper games (even free in some cases.) And the spreading the word about the game diminishes greatly. That feedback loop is an Ouroboros that's going to continue eating its tail until there are no willing customers enough to pay to watch the thing.
The game is amazing — if you escape, you win; if you get caught, you still win. Dear developers, could you please add a couple of features, like adjusting the player’s field of view and the ability to set our own pictures as wallpapers on the in-game PC? Or at least add more wallpapers, maybe even with the same characters as rewards for certain achievements.
I won’t suggest much more, since I’m not a game developer myself, and you clearly know what you’re doing. Just want to wish you good luck — I hope there will be more content in the future and some map updates with new interesting details.
I forgot to mention, regarding feedback, also about soundtracks, which is very important. Sound in the office, as it gets very annoying, the sound of phone calls without anything in the background... Alarms from creatures when they notice us in the game, could be a very hot moan or laughter. Regarding the soundtrack, I would suggest that they open the possibility of having the game access your music files, seriously, it would be really cool. Possibility to change the controls both on the keyboard and on a joystick, and also have the game in my language Pt Br, as the Brazilian community is strong when it comes to games. Nintendo, the number one sinner, is already rethinking this concept. If I remember anything else that could contribute to this game, I will mention it with possibilities and constructive criticism.
Hello, I would like to give my feedback. I discovered this game through Steam, today is my third day playing, and I loved the cat and mouse game, but I missed voluminous lips on the entities, especially on the yellow doll (which would be perfect) and on the main one that smiles, ... but that's the least of it. I also missed playing with the protagonist without clothes, it would give an air of vulnerability ... if you can look at this with affection, we would be happy. And I hope to have more monsters to escape and places to hide ... it would be good to have an air of stealth like crouching, or jumping ... instead of bear traps, be a sticky slime of these creatures, and after falling into one of them your speed decreases ... things like, game over scenes you have a scene ... xxx anyway, I think I said too much. But if you see this positive and constructive criticism, send me some feedback. Thanks game, score 8.5, I want to give 10000000.
I'm not from America, I'm from Ukraine and i can use hryvnias, not dollars, and it's not hard to guess that i can't use 11.99 USD on cumroom, whatshould i do? And I live in Germany now and this game isn't on steam at all
Good day, everyone. Tell me, team of developers, will you add more fetishes, like inflation, vore or pregnancy? You already make a size slider for all three "B" assets of girls, why not make more? And yes, i bought game on steam.
got a feeling that the reason it's paid-only now is cuz of the whole "itch being forced at gunpoint to cut off nsfw games" thing, but it would be nice having some confirmation from the dev.
'specially since I downloaded the 0.8p patch the other day (when it was free), finally checked my downloads just now and saw that it didn't download properly, and came back to redownload it (hoping that the patch magically fixed the "game takes half an hour to load" problem my computer has with it), and found out it ain't free no more
anyway, speaking of said itch problems, there are online petitions and phone call campaigns and things to try and convince mastercard and visa (whose fault it is) to get off itch's ass. the ACLU has one of those petitions, do a web search for "ACLU mastercard" and you'll find it
apparently the whole thing is because a couple hundred fundamentalists bitched to the credit card companies, and the aclu petition already has like 100k signatures, but I suspect the ceo's already wanted to pull something like this and the fundies just gave them an excuse
Late reply, but it's the other way around. The payment processors don't want people charging for NSFW content, so Itch was actually recommending NSFW games should be set to free w/ no donation option, free only. I think it's mostly blown over by now though, other than a bunch of games still being delisted temporarily (like this game).
Blowing over on Itch. The govt's gonna fight over this like they've been on and off the last couple decades, but as for now I'm not seeing too many Itch creators getting screwed by the payment processors.
Heck, you can't even blame US politics for this thing in particular, Collective Shout is Australian.
If I use the spray in the wild, I can't access the bedroom location, the game crashes. If I choose the backrooms location instead, I can go one step further and get to the selection screen. If I select one the game crashes.
If I try to go through the gallery, the game crashes.
My current status is Supervising Agent, I have all the monsters bought (no scene works for any of them), have graphics at low settings, and am playing on a stock Surface 7 (8GB Ram), but previous versions of the game ran the scenes perfectly on it.
whenever i try to speak to anyone the only thing that happens is that my mouse pointer shows up and i get stuck. I can only quit out from that position
every time i talk to some one or give them a coffee i get stuck and can not move i can lean and scroll through my inventory but that it other im stuck with a loading icon.
I've got a question. From the March 17th update road map we can see that there was planned an "romance system" and "moods and behaviours". I hope that these things aren't scraped and just being worked on, right?

Also I think footstep sounds would be nice. Still a good game though.
What are the hardware requirements to play this game? I'd like to know before I buy it
wasent this free bofore? i remember plaing it
no
yes
There was a demo/older version yes
It was, but some time down the line, likely when they released it on Steam, they made it paid.
scp-686
any info on when the next game update comes out?
why i have to pay the game? he away beind free
another question, why not ?
developer decided to make the game paid, he has the right to, so why wouldn't he?

please make a donation of your choich

i think the belly slider is their way of having "pregnancy"
yeah yeah, would totally love to see some vore in this game.

I think it's mostly blown over by now though, other than a bunch of games still being delisted temporarily (like this game).
judging by a bunch of porn makers' bluesky posts, it's not close to blowing over
conservatives aren't going to settle for "okay you can make porn you just can't get paid for it." as we're seeing in the US already

do you still need to pay for patreon to access ALL of the game after getting the paid release?
Why is it paid now it was free
What's up with it suddenly becoming paid-only?
So... From the last version to this version, what's the difference?
Will there be any sex scenes with any of the coworkers, including futa?
Czy będzie wersja na Androida
I can't access any of the scenes.
If I use the spray in the wild, I can't access the bedroom location, the game crashes. If I choose the backrooms location instead, I can go one step further and get to the selection screen. If I select one the game crashes.
If I try to go through the gallery, the game crashes.
My current status is Supervising Agent, I have all the monsters bought (no scene works for any of them), have graphics at low settings, and am playing on a stock Surface 7 (8GB Ram), but previous versions of the game ran the scenes perfectly on it.
I have the same problem
Same here
that's just a y'all problem because i can get them and go to the bedroom
the game is good. but there are a couple of ideas. 1) add a female character, foot with 00 and without 00. with (!).
2) scp1471 as playable. and other sexy models.
3) traps for both the player and the enemy. for example, a hole in the wall. or tentacles
I can't talk to NPCs. I have windows 11, but what does mac and linux have to do with it?
It says that files are damaged on macOS Sonoma? Is it supported or its bug in the files?
For some reason the game runs great until I get to a sex scene and then it just gives out and crashes, Any idea of what could be causing it?
whenever i try to speak to anyone the only thing that happens is that my mouse pointer shows up and i get stuck. I can only quit out from that position
also CG does, or you will get stuck
I can't watch sx CG, I don't know why
I know that this question is kinda hard to add into the game but can you possibly make the game able to be played on standalone vr
So far the only issue I have had is that despite entering fullscreen mode, the game keeps popping back into windowed.
So I see that I am not the only one having loading issues, does anyone have a solution yet or is it just based on your PC?
Will there be an Android version?
There won't be
Sincerely- a fellow android user
Tôi có thể vào trò chơi nhưng khi tôi nhấn bắt đầu trò chơi trò chơi sẽ thoát và tắt, mọi người tôi phải làm gì?
COOKED
still going this route I see, you can’t avoid your problems pal.
every time i talk to some one or give them a coffee i get stuck and can not move i can lean and scroll through my inventory but that it other im stuck with a loading icon.
will there be pregnant version
sounds like fun hope that happen
When will the entire of version 8.0 come out public?
I've got a question. From the March 17th update road map we can see that there was planned an "romance system" and "moods and behaviours". I hope that these things aren't scraped and just being worked on, right?
