Hello everyone and welcome to a pros and
0:03
cons of the demo for the video game Back
0:06
Rooms Stories on Not Now Mom, I'm
0:09
Gaming. These are short videos featuring
0:12
gameplay clips or screenshots as not to
0:14
show too much in the spoiler department.
0:16
Links to this review are in the
0:18
description below. Let the reviewing
0:20
begin. Pros: Backrooms without the
0:24
survival horror. Honestly, I really like
0:27
how they've chosen to write the
0:28
backgrounds into a visual novel because
0:30
while I know some of them have a
0:32
survival horror aspect to them with
0:34
something chasing you, I don't know if
0:36
that's the case with all of them. That
0:39
being said, I really want to try the
0:40
back rooms game that features the
0:42
different pools, but I have some phobia
0:44
issues that kind of stop me. One of the
0:47
stories that you can read within the
0:48
demo is one with the pools, and I
0:50
actually really like the concept. It's
0:53
less anxietyinducing for sure, going
0:55
with just regular images that depict the
0:57
back room setting and then choices that
0:59
you can make that lead to either one end
1:00
or another. This way, you're sort of in
1:03
control of what happens instead of what
1:05
the game wants out of you, which I can
1:08
only assume is crippling anxiety in a
1:09
place you can't escape from. Cons:
1:13
Several stories for a demo. You wouldn't
1:16
think this would be a con, but given the
1:18
fact that this is a demo, having five
1:20
stories to read, plus they have multiple
1:22
endings depending on the choices you
1:24
make, makes for a longer demo with kind
1:26
of no surprises as to what the future of
1:28
the game might bring. I mean, five
1:30
different backroom stories on a demo.
1:33
How many stories do they actually plan
1:35
for the full release? I didn't even
1:37
think there were a ton of back rooms
1:39
games to begin with, but maybe I'm
1:40
wrong. I think it would have been so
1:43
much better if you were able to choose
1:44
which story you wanted to progress
1:46
through. Then once it's done, the other
1:48
stories were locked out. That way, you'd
1:50
have your choice on the one that sounds
1:52
the most entering interesting to you,
1:54
and you get an idea of what the game's
1:56
going for with its future stories. And
1:59
that's the end of a pros and cons of the
2:01
demo for the game Back Rooms Stories.
2:04
Thanks for watching, everyone. And don't
2:06
get in too much trouble when you say,
2:08
"Not now, Mom. I'm gaming.
