Forum Overview :: The Backrooms
 
His first instinct was correct, he's just dumb. What a terrible review. by MM 07/30/2022, 2:08pm PDT
The point of the gameplay is precisely NOT to have a coherent strategy. You limit your moves each loop to something that won't help the echoes against you next loop. So for example you can have one loop where you're running around guns blazing, then next loop you're super sneaky so the echoes' new ability to shoot and chase you won't help them.

And like I said before, he tied his own hands before whining about the game being too hard. You normally have a 360 degree HUD to tell you about nearby enemies, by aiming at them from afar you can mark the echoes ala. Farcry, and you have the ability to even see through walls.

And there is dialog explaining all these systems so he has no excuse to be this clueless. Was he playing the game on mute? I'm guessing this is also why he missed so much of the plot. I wrote my own spoiler explanation of the plot in the steam forums years ago if you're interested.
