I have been a fan of "The Backrooms" for quite a while now. I love a lot of aspects behind it and how its universe has been fleshed out. So it really disappoints me when I check out Backrooms fangames and they barely take advantage of a lot of The Backrooms quirks. A huge majority of these fangames just place you in the iconic Level 0 and have a spooky monster chase you around aimlessly, which I guess is fine, but I feel it completely misses the point of the Backrooms. Especially since(according to the Wikidot) there are no entities in Level 0.

Now, I know it would be impossible for a fangame to use EVERY Backrooms level, but at least spice it up a bit and have a few. There are tons of levels which are WAYYY scarier than Level 0. Another thing which I sorta dislike is how much these fangames try to emphasize horror. I think a faithful backrooms fangame would focus on survival more than horror, at least in a lot of the earlier levels where there is little to no entities actually trying to kill you.

I know this post is nothing more than a brainless nerd discussing his disappointment in games based on fictional piss rooms but I just felt like saying what's on my mind. Also, this post was in no way made to attack Backrooms fangame developers, so sorry if I made it seem like it was.

(also I do know there are fangames which do lean into the survival aspects of the backrooms such as The Backrooms: Realism and The Backrooms: Survival, they are cool and you should check them out)
