Description: BrVR Backrooms VR is a virtual reality survival horror game inspired by The Backrooms. The Backrooms are out of the boundaries of the real world and can only be accessed by no-clipping through a floor or wall in a place that inspires deja vu or an uncomfortable feeling of nostalgia.
Review: Maybe its just me, but I don’t get these “backroom” style games, they all seem strangely pointless and bland. Then long comes “BrVR Backrooms Virtual Reality” to prove me right. With its bland-looking levels, terrible animation and pointless enemies I really don’t think this game could get much worse than it already is. The game is pretty much a crappy shooter with brian dead enemies, none of which are scary in any way. Who knows, maybe I am missing the point in the “lore” of these backroom games, all I really know for sure is that this game simply isn’t worth it anyway and would have been a hard sell even if it was free.
