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.
