Yay i really love a backrooms game that relies more on atmosphere than being chased by creatures! That light sprinkle of entities was the perfect amount to feel really unsettled. Loved the atmosphere and 90’s feel to the game. And I cannot get that song out of my head! Great work! :)
I’m really glad the atmosphere worked for you — that balance between tension and subtlety was something I focused on a lot, so it’s great to hear it landed the way I hoped.
And I’m happy you liked the 90’s feel as well, that was a big part of the identity I wanted for the game.
Also… I totally get you about the song 😄
Thanks again for playing and for the kind words, I really appreciate it.
I played your game and greatly enjoyed it! I did find a place where you can soft-lock yourself at the endless slides, but luckily, you can just reset to the beginning of the level. Still, great job! I can't believe this is only your first game.
And thank you so much for giving Alakazen a shout-out as well; he's my husband, and it made his day.
I look forward to your future endeavors. And if you ever need a female voice actor for anything, let me know!
Hi, yes, I'm preparing an update with some bug fixes, etc. Let me try to include Linux support. Similarly, Underjoy 2 will have Linux support. Thanks for your support.
Thank you so much for your support and message. Underjoy's music is on the YouTube channel; you can check it out there. If there isn't a specific track, it might be because it's a remix of another song from the game or something similar.
I couldn’t find it on your YouTube, so I wanted to ask. It sounded like such a fun theme-park-like song, and I’d really love to listen to it on YouTube. It’s the one that goes “UNDERJOY~♪ UNDERJOY~♪
I just uploaded my Let's Play of Underjoy, really enjoyed it! I greatly appreciate the shout-out as well! fantastic atmosphere and environments, you've done a great job. I look forward to your next game.
is it a virus kinda scared bc it took me to google drive why? but i am making a video on it though make sure to use itch.io website to download it not google drive bc google cannot scan for viurs
It's not a virus; it's uploaded to Google Drive because itch has limitations on game size. The final version will be published directly on itch, so you can rest assured.
That's the plan, to learn more. Since this is my first game, I still have a lot to learn. I hope I can continue learning about modeling so I can stop using AI. Thanks for the advice.
This game has superb atmosphere and graphics, I believe this could be amazing! I'll be staying tuned in for the full release. I played it in my 3 scary games video. It's absolutely peak.
Sorry about the confusion, and thank you for bringing it up. The tags have now been changed so the project description more accurately reflects the use of generative AI.
Atmosphere was great, very dread inducing without any payoff. For a demo though, it was very much more like a prototype with the random unfinished rooms. Looking forward to the full release!
Thank you so much for trying the game, friend. I really appreciate it. The full game will be available very soon. Also, thank you for sharing this project on your channel.
This was the second game I played on my stream, really liked the concept, sort of a Poppy's playtime mixed with backrooms/poolrooms vibes, though I ask that you please fix the first person panning, the swaying was giving me whiplash here and there... Other than that, I anticipate the full release!
Thank you so much for the feedback and for trying the game. Yes, that camera rotation issue has been fixed for the final version, which will be released on April 6th. I really appreciate your suggestion, and thanks again for supporting the project.
Thank you so much for trying and sharing my project on your channel. I'm so glad you liked the demo, and I hope you like the final version. I really appreciate that.
Ein wirklich großartiger Walking Simulator! Obwohl ich wusste das es in der Demo keine Jumpscares geben sollte war ich die ganze Zeit angespannt.Als dann unter der Toilettentüre Füße zu sehen waren bin ich gleich umgedreht ;) Gute Arbeit! Ich freue mich schon auf die Vollversion!
What a fantastic walking sim! I knew the demo didn't have jumpscares, but the atmosphere kept me so tense. As soon as I spotted those feet under the stall door, I was out of there! ;) Good job, I can't wait for the full release!
I’m glad the atmosphere was able to keep you tense — that’s exactly the kind of experience I’m aiming for. And that moment you mentioned… I’m happy it had that effect.
I’m currently working on the full release with more areas and improvements. Thanks again for playing and for the support.
Thank you FOR THE SUPPORT, I really appreciate you giving the game a try. feedback truly help the project move forward. I hope you’ll enjoy the FULL GAME ON APRIL 6!
Thank you so much for taking the time to play the demo! I really appreciate you giving the game a try.
This is still an early version and I’m currently working on improving many aspects of the experience, including new areas, better atmosphere, and overall polish.
Your support and feedback truly help the project move forward. I hope you’ll enjoy the future updates and the expanded demo even more.
Love the look and the atmosphere so far but the game crashes when using the cassette player you meet the bunny for the first time. unless that's where its supposed to end of concept/ prototype. but awesome vibes and am following :)
I’m really glad you liked the atmosphere and visuals so far, that means a lot to me.
And thanks for letting me know about the crash on the cassette player — that’s definitely not intended. I’ll check it out and fix it as soon as possible.
This is still a very early prototype, so bugs like that can happen, but your feedback really helps a lot. Thanks again for playing and for the support, I truly appreciate it! 🖤🎞️

Thank you so much, I really appreciate you taking the time to play the game and share your feedback.
I’m glad you enjoyed the experience, and thanks as well for pointing out the soft-lock — I’ll definitely look into that and work on improving it.
It really means a lot to hear that, especially since this is my first game. I’m still learning, so feedback like this helps a lot.
I’m also really happy to hear that the shout-out meant something to him — that’s awesome.
And thank you for the offer about voice acting — I might actually need a female voice for Underjoy 2, so I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
Here’s the Discord link if you’d like to join and stay in touch: https://discord.com/invite/yP3G2rBX8v
I truly appreciate the support, and I’m excited to keep improving and working on what comes next.
I played the DEMO to see If this game is worth playing. I'll definitely play the full release another time.
Thanks a lot for the video and your comment, That motivates me to keep going and create more games. Appreciate it
7/10 game so far cant wait for full game
Thanks for the feedback, the full version is already available. hope you enjoy it
would love linux support for this game, i wanna play it on my steam deck qwq
Hi, yes, I'm preparing an update with some bug fixes, etc. Let me try to include Linux support. Similarly, Underjoy 2 will have Linux support. Thanks for your support.
I’d also love it if you could upload the BGM playing in the crane game section (maybe the UNDERJOY theme?) to YouTube!

Thank you so much, my friend, for supporting the project from the beginning. I really appreciate that.

tHANKS FOR THE SUPPORT, APPRECIATE THAT, APRIL 6!
is it a virus kinda scared bc it took me to google drive why? but i am making a video on it though make sure to use itch.io website to download it not google drive bc google cannot scan for viurs

The game's ideas is fun but it's disappointing to see the use of gen ai. hopefully you can use artists to replace them when the game fully comes out.
That's the plan, to learn more. Since this is my first game, I still have a lot to learn. I hope I can continue learning about modeling so I can stop using AI. Thanks for the advice.
This game has superb atmosphere and graphics, I believe this could be amazing! I'll be staying tuned in for the full release. I played it in my 3 scary games video. It's absolutely peak.
thanks a lot for the support friend, hope you enjoy the full game on april 6, appreciate the video and feedback
game uses generative ai while marked "no generative ai was used." you can tell by the 2d assets and textures. please change

Thank you very much for your support, Reading this is important to me, thank you for supporting this project.
Atmosphere was great, very dread inducing without any payoff. For a demo though, it was very much more like a prototype with the random unfinished rooms. Looking forward to the full release!
Thanks for the feedback, the full version does have more rooms, the decoration is more complete while maintaining the essence of the liminal base
I cannot wait for the full release! I wanted more! lol keep up the good work!
