I expected more myself, game does look and feel really good. just needs more content

I don't think that this game needs more than more maps. It's a walking simulator, a game for ambience and atmosphere, just art.

I completely agree and a more content is being worked on at the very moment, currently expected to be included within a week or so.

If this game is boring then the backrooms and luminal spaces just aren't for you lol

This might be the case. I think, for my horror experiences, I just need a little more than just the more or less "imaginary threat" of a yellow painted kinda endless floor.

It was never said that this game is a horror game. Read the description of the game before downloading. "The Complex: Found Footage is a walking simulator with the world being viewed through a VHS camera." If you want a horror game in the backrooms, then download "Inside The Backrooms".

All good. I meant no offense.

Tried "inside the backrooms" myself. Cant say i'd recommend it. Plus the dev for it has been real snobby when it comes to constructive criticism.

Did you guys see some of the screenshots? When I was wandering around I kept going to places I felt like maybe I wasn't supposed to go and I ended up getting lost in the dark. There are other areas where its dark but there are invisible walls.

I mention the screen shots though because I'm seeing other levels of the Backroom. There is that pool level and another screenshot of that suburban area, not sure if that is the same as Level 0.

edited to add: I just saw a walkthrough video so it looks like there is multiple levels like the poolroom and that dark night suburban area. I think a lot of us gamers have just been desensitized. I bet this experience will feel much differently with VR, plus maybe some mechanic that makes us think or feel like there *could* be something around.

the game is around 30 to 45 minutes so far (there will be more updates) you are supposed to explore level 0 until you find an elevator making a beeping sound. then go the next level and find the elevator again. also press "F" on your keyboard to use the flashlight. left and right click zoom, you can crouch with ctrl as well.

Sry, but as every other "The Backrooms"-game, this also falls incredibly short, be it free or not.
There is basically nothing here to see and even less to experience and the overall gameplay, if you can even call it like that, is at most pretty minimal, not to call it barebones.

I do not want to mock the game for what it is in the end, yet with all the praise given to a (in my pov) pretty medicore creepy pasty, I fail to see, whats the appeal of the BR idea being overused for either cheap jumpscare games or "games" like this one.

As I said, no ill intention here, just wanted to share some thoughts and maybe get some insight, why people feel much different in regards to the BR stuff.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day. :)

check the devs youtube channel. he has teasers of soon to release major content updates.
