Hello everyone!

Well, as you know, I make a "Bugs" and "Ideas" section in my games' community and this game is not any different... It is, however, a small horror game, but who knows what kind of bugs or ideas would be found for it?!

Also, I will update this post with the bugs you give so that no one would be reporting the same bug.

1- Linux and Mac versions are not completely tested (I just made sure they run; someone test the whole aspects and report any problems that might occur)

First, thank you for uploading a Mac version. I tried downloading it, but the resulting zip file (Backrooms_Summer_Update_Mac.zip) was invalid, and couldn't be extracted with any tool I tried. I downloaded the Windows and Linux versions, but couldn't extract those zip files either.

Developer

You're welcome. I'm very sorry; I zipped those with windows (compress option), If this has anything to do with it; does that mean I should  zip it with Mac too??

for a workaround, try this.

The Unarchiver (the app you linked) is my default unzipping tool, and the first one I tried. Weirdly, I downloaded the Mac version again just now to test again, and this time it extracted with zero difficulty. I had already deleted the file I'd downloaded originally, so I can't compare checksums on the new vs the old, but at least it's working now. Thanks for the quick reply.

Developer

Oh, well thank god! I thought I had to zip a file with my horrible Mac virtual machine :))) So enjoy the game!

For some reason, the game would crash before even getting to the menu screen! The only way for me to play is the only play one round a day. If I try any more than that, it crashes.

Developer

That’s a weird bug. Specially if it happens once in a time! Does it send any error messages? I suggest playing without internet connection.

I’ll remove unnecessary network connections in Backrooms, Dasher and CAB in an update…

Error message: Uncaught RangeError Maximum call stack size exceeded

I will back to you once I try playing offline.

Ok, I'm back and the same thing happens offline.

(Just so you know, when the game does work, It's really great! I understand the feeling of nostalgia you were going for, and it has a perfect mix of fear and suspense!)

Developer

What platform are you trying to play on? I’ve done a research and it seems that this often happens on WebGL. In which case, downloading a standalone version will do…

... Chromebook desktop

Developer

I don’t have any chromebook to test this, but Unity doesn’t support chromebooks.

I suggest that you play Backrooms on other supported devices (Windows, Linux or Mac) or try to emulate the Linux version of it in your chromebook:

I have no idea that this will work or not, but see if you have a chromebook that has graphic hardware acceleration enabled for linux first before emulating.

Play on another device or try the PC version.

Am broke to buy a pc its like 30k php 

The gamepad doesn't move the camera in the web version. 

You can move using the left joystick, but you can't move the camera with the right joystick. You still have to use the mouse for that.
