Let it be said that I don't actually enjoy Backrooms games all that much: I find them dull and mostly repetitive. A lot of them simply drop you off at the world's worst Ikea and throw a bunch of screeching monsters at you which is... not a great concept in my opinion.
However, The Backroom: Lost and Found actually brings something new to the table - interesting mechanics, an unusual plot and a surprisingly endearing cast of miniature giraffes (?). I actually found myself replaying it once to check out the other endings.
Sure, the environment is a bit ugly (in typical Backrooms style) but it is clear that the devs put a lot of thought into this. I never expected to be emotionally invested in a game like this but I was. Granted, this won't change your life but it is a wonderful (free!) experience and a great way to spend a few hours.
