    While The Backrooms: 1998 effectively creates an oppressive atmosphere with its found-footage aesthetic, exploration mechanics, and subtle scares, its lack of originality and repetitive gameplay make it feel overly familiar. It's a short, low-budget horror experience that serves as a decent way to pass the time, but it struggles to stand out in an oversaturated genre.

    The Backrooms 1998 is a great horror game, albeit one that is pretty short. You may enjoy the earlier aspects more than those that play out later down the line, but throughout a playthrough you’ll find some excellent sound and visual designs, as a real sense of menace plays out.
