This game was the original backrooms.

I almost feel like I can't give this game a rating. Even as a kid i distinctly remember being actively annoyed by it but yet its liminal nature really connected with me in the same way an oddly pleasant dream would. Having played this game a few years ago as an adult? Somehow the exact same experience. Obscenely slow paced and often obtuse and it leaves me feeling like I forgot something important on a metaphysical level. I know for a fact playing this game is borderline torture but yet my memories are injected with artificially positive feelings. Not nostalgia, I've felt this ever since the game came out. Like bro it's just a point and click adventure game with a pretty young target audience - why can't I beat it and why is it permanently latched onto my soul?

There's something devious here, I'd be careful with this one.
