@@Wishbone_Games the problem with that is that it's really hard to implement walking in a reasonable timeframe, so while walking may be cooler, walking is a better choice overall.
Man, there really is something about back rooms games making the most nauseating camera available. I remember inside the back rooms having not only immense head bobbing, but also extreme motion blur, and mouse smoothing. I spent most of the games I played in a locker while the people I played with did the work. Eventually my job became: step out of locker, whistle, get back in locker. I was just bait
I think the issue with the backrooms as a game concept is that what makes it scary is literally just the idea of an endless basement. It doesnt sound that bad at first, but horror like skinamarink shows that truly closed off environments, even infinite ones, are scary on their own, and adding "levels" and "entities" doesn't add to or work with what makes the original work
I COMPLETELY agree with this. I love the conflict of - youre in the loneliest place in the whole world, yet you still dont feel alone, but you know for a fact that you are. Its such a great feeling when done right and thats where the strength of backrooms lies, not shitty monsters with jumpscares. Its that ever growing dread of "what if" that never happens.
@@Wishbone_Games you are so absolutely right. Like if there's some spoopy monster around imma hit it with a wrench or like... Run away or hide idk. But what the fuck am I meant to do if I find myself in endless sprawling rooms that don't make sense, that seem to exist to confuse me, have rules I don't understand, and could at any moment hit me with something unexpected but just... Doesn't, so I'm always on edge. What do I do? Stay in one spot and cry? Wander aimlessly hoping I'm moving closer to the exit and not further away? Attempt to mark out a little home for myself with absolutely nothing to occupy my hands or my mind? It's the terror of worrying there's something behind the next corner so you're always afraid to turn around, but also no matter how much you scream and cry, you won't hear even a peep back. The greatest terror is the idea that if you slip and fall, a broken leg will leave you slowly dying in one place with absolutely no hope of being saved. It's the idea of a slow, inevitable death that let's you ruminate on all the worst possibilities. So I plan to kill myself? But what if I'm close to the exit and just need to go a little further? How am I meant to do it? Could I even go through with that? It's haunting. I absolutely love it.
@@Wishbone_GamesI think the vhs tape recorder lends itself well to that gameplay as it leaves shadows behind ne questioned if they were a thing or if they were just the camera. I think some mildly realistic movement on the camera is nice but all these cheap ass clones make it too much. And I also think that there not being a monster or there being one but its a presence that is not a threat but an observing one leads the player to wonder whats out there and/or what does that thing want? This is something that “the complex” series does pretty well. You feel alone apart from some strange audio every now and again with a good filter and great looks that font look like an asset pack and it only hints at there being an entity IF the player hits the trigger in the newest game you are likely to miss some of if not most of the triggers entirely and thats cool and creative stuff
this was my main gripe with kane pixels, i love his other stuff but he rlly mucked up the backrooms into a generic analog sort of horror, I do think levels work but i don’t think you should be able to go from level to level as they are all liminal spaces
I want to see a Backrooms parody called the Bathrooms. It's exactly what it sounds like. That said, an endless sprawl of stalls, urinals, and sinks would probably be pretty creepy. Wouldn't be surprised if there was already a floor of the Backrooms that was like that, actually.
This "making games the wrong way" series is rather entertaining to me as someone who's been bothered by low quality horror. I know that there's a lot of personal opinion on what makes a good game, but how do you think a backrooms game would be made the right way? I've heard some even say that The Backrooms doesn't lend itself to games well in the first place.
In my opinion, the thing that always scared me from backrooms images is the feeling it gives of not being alone, while also being the loneliest place imaginable, i enjoy that contradiction. The atmosphere is whats scary, as soon as you add a monster it breaks that feeling, now you know that you are not alone. So in my eyes there is no place for any kind of monster in backrooms games, id like little hints, and maybe even some environmental storytelling about what has happened here before you noclipped. But also i think a backrooms game more than anything would benefit greatly from a narrative driven gameplay design, instead of throwing you into the backrooms, have a story, maybe you enter with multiple people, but you get split up and you never see them again, now your imagination takes control, and thats when youve made something actually scary. In conclusion, no monsters. i love "The Complex: found footage"
@@Wishbone_Games The minute I was reading you describe how directly introducing a monster ruins the "alone but not alone" atmosphere my mind went "Oh, like The Complex!" And then you directly mentioned it. In my opinion it's probably the best backrooms game out there, and one of the only ones worth the time. Something else I think would be really neat is an online one with proximity chat. Just an exploratory game like The Complex, but the rooms would be various instances on a server and whilst 95%-99% of the time you're put into a room instance alone, there'd be that _ever so rare_ chance of getting to encounter another explorer like yourself.
yea exactly, i think its masterfully done. Not a bad idea, though id be careful with adding voice chat to a horror game, especially since the concept requires being alone. Even when playing a horror game, i make sure nobody is near me, because i feel that being alone is the best way to experience them
Dunno if you've heard of it but there's a Doom mod called "MyHouse.wad" that features some liminal spaces (albeit they're probably one of the weaker parts of the game) but the game as a whole just seems to recreate that "liminal" feeling really well And even if it's not quite what you're looking for, it's still pretty cool and worth checking out :)
You know what be cool? A more speed/parkour oriented back rooms game where the goal is not to escape, but to get through each of the stages at the fastest time possible like a speedrun
Honestly, I think a monster addition is ok when done right. Like, you see him for a few seconds as you turn or he's right behind you until you turn around. Like, you're always hearing him and seeing little glimpses of him, but he's never actually there. I think it builds a lot of tension that way. Then again, just good sound design can build the tension, too. Like the sound of walking, or the buzzing lights, or more walking, or the distant sound of walking.
Heyyy thank you. I dont think id make this s serious game, but id like to maybe make a couple more levels. Im super into horror games so once omnipresence is finished up, im gonna work on a serious horror game project
Idk if it's just me, but I hate that people took such an environmentally effective and creepy idea of liminal spaces...and just added silly "scary" monsters and lore like it's Pokémon or something. Ruins the whole point of liminal spaces. Can't have something be atmospherically scary without creatures, apparently.
I understand what you mean, however, most Backrooms games are the horror genre, so there really has to be a big bad. If the backrooms was an atmospheric walking sim, not a lot of people would like that, however I would like to see a horror game where the monster DOESNT exist, but it just builds up atmosphere with little glimpses of an enemy in the corner of your eye.
Exactlyyyyyy. Thats what i was sorta eluding to in the intro. That i think the whole idea of monsters ruins the atmosphere, because up until backrooms games became a thing, backrooms were known for their slight feeling of not being alone, but you were, you were alone, but the backrooms did such a great job at making you question that. So yea games completely ruined that
I think that is whats needed for the more authentic backrooms experience. Also has nobody thought to maybe innovate a little, instead of taking what already kinda worked for other horror games and bringing it over to backrooms, how about a whole new formula, im certain there are ways to make that engaging
I was thinking "what would make bad horror game" and for some reason, my first thought for a semi unique idea is making the player a pilot from titanfall, just make it borderline impossible for the monster to catch up to you
I just thought Kane referred to the creature as the Lifeform in his interviews due to the story not being primarily focused around the Backrooms but instead the company ASync.
i hope there will be a really well made backrooms game that is based off of the original story with most of the levels and not just Kane Pixel's adaptation
Seriously though I’m so disappointed that I have yet to find a high quality wikidot backrooms game. Like my dream backrooms game is a survival horror has with LEAST the first 11 levels (0-10). Like maybe 5+ entities (get a wretch in there, they would be so spooky in 3d), with the ability to actually fight back.
My guy, the original story didn't have multiple levels... The original story was just the one level and a short paragraph being like "You could noclip out of reality and find yourself here, hopefully you don't hear anything because it heard you" and that's it. There was no other levels or entities in the original story.
Honestly i kind of like the monster design (not that he's spaghetti. that he has to drag himself to move.) if the walk anim reflected that he'd probably be decently effective. "papercrip" killed me though. Gg mate good backrooms game
Hey, I cant believe you forgot the scariest part, where you walk really slow but you have a stamina meter that lets you walk at a normal pace for about 4 seconds before it needs to recharge
pretty cool but i think it could benefit from some more film grain and chromatic aberration. to add some more immersion i think a nice cinematic 28 fps frame rate cap would really nail the vhs feeling.
Honestly even if the game was meant to be a joke, it still turned out somewhat cool It would be fun to see you actually dedicating yourself to make a cool backrooms game
the complex: found footage IS a walking sim. no monster. just walking. BUT it is GREAT. the uncanny valley felling is off the charts, and the suspense caused throughout the whole game is really good.
obvs i love how Kane Pixels executed the concept of monsters in his Backrooms series, but when it comes to actual Backrooms _games_ i hate that i dread wanting to play any of them _because_ i don't know if there'll be cheap monsters and jumpscares or not. especially games that advertise themselves as if they're purely liminal experiences and LOL WE LIED THERE'S A MONSTER HAHA MADE YOU JUMP screw those games, give me a neverending IKEA walking simulator with no enemies and i'll be happy
i cant wait for this horror game called boo monster which takes place in a daycare with the layout similar to rivet city from fallout 3 that totally doesnt have assets ripped from unity where you need to create a thing to smash open a brittle glass door that a grandma with dementia could easily do and the monster would be extremely vibrant thats possessed by the soul of a dead child (which the idea totally wasnt stolen from fnaf) and also knows where you are at all times also you cant see anything so you have a flashlight edit: that jumpscare at 1:38 made me had a heart attack
Literally. There is so much space to innovate in this subgenre but i havent seen anything ground breaking yet, i wish i had time to play around with some ideas, but i hope this video inspires someone to think outside the box
Isnt that so sad? just shows how far you can go with such little effort, and a lot of devs dont even give this much effort before they throw some unfinished asset flip on steam for $30
@@Wishbone_Games The saddest thing about it for me, is that there's really no reason people couldn't be making tons of really good games with the time and effort they make shoveling out this pish. Like, keep in mind games like the original FNAF and Undertale were made with similar levels of effort. There are so many great games yet to be made, and with only a little effort and inspiration every one of these games could be game of the year material, and yet people are content to just make garbage to make a cool few hundred bucks.
I have a good idea! Maybe a bit too innovative, but it works. What if there is a 1 in 1000 chance that either A. The entity holds a Subscribe button in the jumpscare. or B. The death screen says, "Subscribe to Wishbone."
Having a walking cable monster chasing you was always a dumb idea from the start. I don't know why indie horror devs have such an obsession with shoving the monster in your face. The thing that made the idea of the backrooms so creepy in the first place was the vague horror of it, not the big oogly boogly monster chasing you. "God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby because it sure as hell heard you" does not mean "big shower drain hair monster runs directly at you" I'm pretty sure where it came from in the first place was a video someone made when the backrooms was becoming a trend where some black hair disappeared into a vent as the camera turns a corner. That's it. Apparently that equals humanoid squid ink spaghetti monster.
it bothers me when people just keep changing the backrooms, adding characters and places. Especially when they're so creative, I rather have them add on to their own world, but I guess its just easier to ride the Backrooms hype (or its so hard to get recognized in a world where trends dominate the algorithm, something like that). I know I won't like the whole movie idea, because the whole point of the backrooms is to have nothing in it. Its psychological horror, but theyre probably going to add a "giant spooky monster!!". This video is so good though, the comedy is sharp exhale approved, you've really improved!
Yea i hate the idea of actually seeing a monster, or hearing a monster. For me the essance of the backrooms lies in the irony of you being in the most lonely place ever, while still feeling like youre not alone. And the atmosphere always eludes to that, based on the fact that the backrooms always has some piece of everyday life in it, to the point where you just expect life to be near it, making it all the more unsettling when you never find that life. Monsters for these games are bullshit and thats the end of story. Thank you, i cant believe i made you sharply exhale!!!!!
I think it’s pretty unrealistic that most horror games have no running mechanic. Because if anyone were getting chased by some monster, I don’t think anyone would just be casually walking.
I think you should diversify your mechanics. Maybe try adding something like walking, or maybe walking.
No, i was thinking more along the lines of walking.. but i get your point, maybe ill do that if i have time

@@Wishbone_Games no problem man, thanks for making the great content
The ready it’s scary is bra size how little it’s seen and only by passing the video style is what makes it scary
Godzilla had a stroke trying to read this and fucking died
It's funny too. This guy may be taking the piss, but this really is one of the better Backrooms games lol
Isnt that so sad? just shows how far you can go with such little effort, and a lot of devs dont even give this much effort before they throw some unfinished asset flip on steam for $30
@@Wishbone_Games The saddest thing about it for me, is that there's really no reason people couldn't be making tons of really good games with the time and effort they make shoveling out this pish. Like, keep in mind games like the original FNAF and Undertale were made with similar levels of effort. There are so many great games yet to be made, and with only a little effort and inspiration every one of these games could be game of the year material, and yet people are content to just make garbage to make a cool few hundred bucks.
papercrip doin the crip walk
Hahah thats one way to put it
The south america joke hurt me because i live there
I didnt mean living there is embarassing, i just meant thats where i would move if i embarassed myself hahaa
you forgot the most important part, 26 levels, all with shitty level design, derivative "puzzles" and bs entities that'll kill you no matter what!
Well youve given me all the building blocks now to make a shitty update sometime haha
Aren’t the level design supposed to be randomly generated? ( I know you know that )
I subscribbled where is pool rooms??
Uhhhhh.. erm, its gonna happen, just maybe not for a little while
No clips into the backroom
Sees a fricking stick fogure
"Wait where are the actual back room entities "
Your original sketch of paper crip kinda looked like that one episode of SpongeBob where spongebob is tweaking and turns to face Patrick.
Very cool 👍Hope you update it sometime in the near future
Poolrooms maybe???
Honestly, papercrip's name is just because when he shuffles towards you he throws up crip signs
You should make an actually good Backrooms game and see how it turns out.
Honestly a great idea but im not sure when id have time for something like that
bet that made you wanna code part made me laugh 😂
ima speedrun this game next
Hell yeaaaaaa, i cant wait
You should title this epic backrooms game at 3am "The Behind Hallways"
AWWW thats such a missed opportunity... maybe thatll be a DLC later on haha
1:42 I'm literally on the toilet, so yes... I did poop myself
YESSSS IT WORKED!
DUDE I LOVE THE PART WHERE HE WALKED
ngl i actually really like your take on the generic pen scribble monster
I have a good idea! Maybe a bit too innovative, but it works. What if there is a 1 in 1000 chance that either
A. The entity holds a Subscribe button in the jumpscare.
or
B. The death screen says, "Subscribe to Wishbone."
Impossible, i dont know how to do this...
@@Wishbone_Games Okay.
Having a walking cable monster chasing you was always a dumb idea from the start.
I don't know why indie horror devs have such an obsession with shoving the monster in your face.
The thing that made the idea of the backrooms so creepy in the first place was the vague horror of it, not the big oogly boogly monster chasing you.
"God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby because it sure as hell heard you" does not mean "big shower drain hair monster runs directly at you"
I'm pretty sure where it came from in the first place was a video someone made when the backrooms was becoming a trend where some black hair disappeared into a vent as the camera turns a corner.
That's it.
Apparently that equals humanoid squid ink spaghetti monster.
"I bet you sh!t yourself right there* me on the toilet taking a sh!t:
Papercrip’s name in the original backrooms is howler
You should call it ‘Walking in the backshots’
papercripple looks like the 3d version of the word scrabble, yes like the wordgame.
I love this one! 👏
Thank you
After playing this game my hairline has receeded and my wife has left me. 11/10 would recommend
Thank god!! Thats exactly the effect i was hoping for, glad it ruined your life :)
@@Wishbone_Gameswould play again
So glad@@Roroprin
Bro was going to be max payne if he fails
Hell yea
@@Wishbone_Games "birthdays are like regrets they keep coming at you each one with a new scar"
it bothers me when people just keep changing the backrooms, adding characters and places. Especially when they're so creative, I rather have them add on to their own world, but I guess its just easier to ride the Backrooms hype (or its so hard to get recognized in a world where trends dominate the algorithm, something like that). I know I won't like the whole movie idea, because the whole point of the backrooms is to have nothing in it. Its psychological horror, but theyre probably going to add a "giant spooky monster!!". This video is so good though, the comedy is sharp exhale approved, you've really improved!
Wait didnt the original post mentioned that there is something lurking in the backrooms?
Yea i hate the idea of actually seeing a monster, or hearing a monster. For me the essance of the backrooms lies in the irony of you being in the most lonely place ever, while still feeling like youre not alone. And the atmosphere always eludes to that, based on the fact that the backrooms always has some piece of everyday life in it, to the point where you just expect life to be near it, making it all the more unsettling when you never find that life. Monsters for these games are bullshit and thats the end of story.
Thank you, i cant believe i made you sharply exhale!!!!!
I watched this entire video with a poker face
Ohh thank god, i was really scared people would find it funny
@@Wishbone_Games lol
blud doesn't know how to make horror games, he forgot the walking mechanic lmao ☠☠
NOOOOOOOOOO! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO POINT THAT OUT????
HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT THE BUFF DOGE, EVEN MARKIPLIER LIKED IT
editing is fire this time
Thank you im really happy people are noticing, been working hard on it
@@Wishbone_Games we'll keep it up man because it's entertaining as hell, which is great because if you entertain people, people will watch 😎
I like doing the flatulence. I do be fartin'
Uhh okay.. good for you
Parodies of indie horror games >>> indie horror games
Thats such a sad reality.. hopefully these videos will start to make a change
XD wow love this video definitely made me scared an laugh at the same time
Hahaha thank you, glad you enjoyed :)
Please make the poolrooms too!
Hell yeaaaa
I actually have a really good character design for a Backrooms creature I just need to figure out how to 3D model lol
Well maybe some day youll make an actually scary backrooms monster hahha
Great editing
Thanks so much, ive been working on it a lotttt
@@Wishbone_Games Looks like you took some dani inspo if I'm not mistaken. Also it was a pretty funny video in general so great job
Yea.. just some tho, i dont wanna be a clone. Thanks so much
@@Wishbone_Games Yeah you didn't go overboard dont worry
Make the Poolrooms. Then put Papercrip in there but make him have a little rubber ducky ring inflatable on :)
"The south american country"
I will pretend I didn't hear that
I think it’s pretty unrealistic that most horror games have no running mechanic. Because if anyone were getting chased by some monster, I don’t think anyone would just be casually walking.
I know, which is why there is no way i was allowed to add a running mechanic hahaha
@@Wishbone_Gamesbut what about a slight jog that lasts for 5 seconds?
@@Layer-v5h who tf jogs for 5 seconds while getting chased by a monster?
@@iamL0rDd every horror game character with a stamina bar ever
@@Layer-v5h why does that have to be so true 😭
Still better than some games(garden of banban im looking at you)
Yea... and im looking back at garten of banban with no fear
Apeirophobia is kind of good though.
Nah your a great developer you made horror games a lot scary
Thank youuuuu :)
