ULTRA REALISTIC BACKROOMS EXPERIENCE.. | The Complex: Expedition
Welcome to The Complex Expedition, The Backrooms.
When an expedition with your team into the complex goes horribly wrong, you're left alone and lost, wandering the seemingly infinite maze of hallways, otherwise known as the Backrooms. Might there be something following you?

I actually think the dialogue at the beginning made it seem far more realistic. The casual chat between work colleagues which doesn't sound at all like voice acting - praise to the devs on this one, it's insanely creepy and well constructed.

Now THIS is a backrooms game that feels completely accurate. The uneasiness of how quiet everything is, the many many ways to get lost and abundance of rooms that lead elsewhere. The queasy feeling that you aren't alone, even though you haven't seen proof otherwise. Love!

liminal spaces, such a weird phenomenon
The back rooms are a place you inherently feel that people should be there, but are not. Their absence bags your absence... Running feels like the thing to do, yet you don't see any immediate threats anywhere around you. It's like the old saying that you're more comfortable knowing where the bee is, seeing it, right there, rather than just hearing a bee somewhere in the room. You're just unable to find it. You keep looking, you keep looking. It's like you hear the bee somewhere, everywhere in the back rooms but you can't see it.
Such a well made game that proves you don’t need a stupid jumpscare every 10 seconds to be scary
Hello HOLLOW I’m going into rehab Monday for alcohol addiction and complex PTSD and scapegoating abuse and religious trauma and narcissistic abuse within my family I’ve always loved your walkthrough gaming and community online I’ll be gone a while but I will eventually be back new and whole again much love brother ❤
Layouts and designs are straight out of so many dreams I’ve had. Gives a strong sense of familiarity which makes it so much more interesting.

I second this. And while it makes sense to me that I've had dreams of spaces that look like this, I grew up in the 80s and 90s. The dev of this game is only 18 and he has said that he's used his dreams for inspiration as well, which begs the question. Why is an 18 year old dreaming of places he's unlikely to have ever seen? Makes you wonder if there is another part of reality that looks like this.
Did anyone else notice at 8:35 that man figure is the same figure(s) from that one dark web video where they are feeding that person ... Thats the creepiest thing I've seen in a while. Threw me back to the days where I'd watch nothing but dark web videos

For years, I've had dreams with a recurring theme. I'm in very clean but antiquated spaces a la late 1970s with very similar looks and layouts to this. I always feel lonely but not alone, as if there's a presence permeating every inch of the place, and it's not a nice one. I can never seem to find my way out, and the farther into the place I get, the more lost and hopeless I become. This video and the fact that this "game" exists gave me a deep sense of unease. Thank you for sharing it. It's been an interesting experience.

I personally think that kid sections in stuff like this are scary because, in our minds, children are supposed to be safe and excluded from the hardships of life in an ideal world, but seeing something like a kids section in a horror related experience challenges our perception of how life should be, and coldly reminds us that true evil holds no regard for the innocence of a child. In fact, malicious entities will often use that same illusion of innocence and safety to lure its victims into a false sense of security. I could be wrong, but it makes sense to me anyways lol.

The most realistic game I have ever seen. Absolutely incredible. Imagine this in VR….
1:06 "Wait, uh, we're playing!" same reaction i got when i started rdr2 first time 😄
I think that the backrooms as a concept is terrifying AF, no entities required. Just the idea of being lost in a place like that is scary enough because of the existential nature of the whole scenario.
These games are so interesting. It’s like compiled all of the creepy rooms, walls, and areas from everyone’s life and put them into one game. Really cool
Now this. This was a game that perfectly captured the scary part of the backrooms
8:35 - I remember this! These guys were from a truly terrifying real life lost video!
Hollow quote of the day - "Ahh serenity, bliss, absolute beauty. Lovely, creepy, disturbing."
This game is amazing, just saw it from someone else and he did take 2 hours and had much more encounters with the "entity" but you had a different route with different halls and doors. Thats amazing for a game to accomplish that.
great video man. this game truly is a sign of whats to come for the future of gaming even at an indie level. also, they absolutely nailed the gait (walking style) of the characters, incredibly realistic
@8:18 Soon as I seen the Blank Room RayRay outfit against the wall, I knew the Backrooms would never be the same.
I feel the hyperRealism especially on this game hit's soo much because it's familiar/ we've all been curious about that one creepily inviting, unused back-area of our workplace ha

these games are probably better if you don't do any research to find out if it has entities or not before you play. Then while you're exploring you have no idea to expect to run into something or not, which would make it more spooky because you're imagination would increase the tension.

Yoooooo when u didn't know u were playing tripped me out so much.. This games going to be so clean
the halls that were twisting, if you chose to go through there it would've brought you to another area where you would see that guy again and he would slowly chase you. Saw it in another persons play through but im interested in others, you had a bit of a different path I wonder what other paths there are. Great video!
this was just one hour and I already got insane. think about being in there for years, decades, forever....
16:30 bro you dont know how much i replayed this part where you got jumpscared hahhhahh
The camera movement makes up 98 % of the realism in this game
these games are ridiculously amazing. this has been kind of my dreams it seems always looking for something but no one to help.. the stories and everything though are great!!!
The number of people commenting that this reminds them of the dreams they've had, which was the immediate response I had when I played this, coupled with the fact that the developer was only 18 years old makes me wonder. Why would an 18 year old have the frame of reference for places like this, which were almost totally gone by the early 00s? I sometimes question whether or not the dreams we have are really from a shared dimension that exists, which we're all simply accessing during our dreams as opposed to them merely being recreations of our mind.
What an incredible backrooms experience. Well done @pgWave 👏 Isar, I can't wait to see what is next in store, you are incredibly talented in not only game development but also making players/viewers feel so helpless/isolated and utterly panicked while playing a game. Thank you so much for playing Hollow and supporting this young developer. Wow! PS I will never be able to walk through an empty underground carpark again without feeling extremely unsettled 😁
Very cool version of backrooms game! Whenever he was on the train I was screaming "There's a MAP on the wall AND over the door! PLEASE just look at the map!"
This and The Complex: Found Footage are THE definitive Backrooms games! They truly capture the spirit and terror of the Backrooms (and it’s presented beautifully and without the bells and whistles!) And I will say- in the opening segment, you had a partner walking with you and I would love to see a game (maybe from this developer) where you have a partner traversing the Backrooms with you. Not multiplayer though!
its a good day when Hollow posts a new horror game video. Thank you Hollow!! 🎉

I am an introvert that loves to be alone but not in this kind of situation ... Ive never felt so scared, its just a game and i am not even the one who played it ...
The dialogue was fantastic. Most organic dialogue yet. You can also tell the difference between a cutscene and hollow playing because his mechanical skills are horrible 😂
This game is like a millionaire bachelor who buys a mansion then explores for the first time.

Yoo 😂 that chair definitely reminded me of wet carpet. And you’re 100% correct. It’s the most depressing smell ever. Especially when you add a few Marlboros to it over the years. 🤢
The amount of effort and details in this game i really thought this was one of them reaction vids until i seen him actually play. I mean the details the environments it's just like the real one. The makers really need a raise for this.
These games definitely show a dark scary fear that humans have, being alone and in a place totally separate from any and all things normal. These games remind me of dreams I have and familiar feelings. I want a PC just to play these and maybe even come up with a concept from these types of innate fears humans have

What makes it truly scary is that your always in a transitional space there are many different spaces both for going to places and destinations and the majority of life takes place in destinations so the sole fact that the backrooms is only transitional spaces is extremely psychologically terrifying

To me in such kind of games like Backrooms you shouldn`t be curious, but strategic. I wouldn't return to the lower levels, but stayed in the higher level, because it`s where you came from.
The arrows are pointing to the Portal. If you get lost in the backrooms, you know the way out, just follow the arrows to the portal =)
This game feels like every church I was ever in growing up. super creepy.

now this is is legit "realistic horror game" from voice acting to floor sounds...all horror or fps games ive heard them running like crap, but this one's incredible, , and when the character runs, it's true that the sound is scarily realistic, every kind of floor the char.walks/runs it changes sounds... i cant watch this kind of game without his commentary (not all commentaries per games i hate to watch) ..
