Hey everyone! I’ve been working hard on a project for this year’s Otome Jam, and the demo is finally released!
Romance The Backrooms is a F/M dating sim VN about Carla, a daycare worker who falls into the titular liminal space by pure chance. Thankfully, she meets a group of 5 humanoid entities who are willing to help her get back home. On the way, Carla, who’s had no time for love because of her work, finds herself becoming smitten with one of the entities. Will she get out of the backrooms with her love intact?
You can play it here: Romance The Backrooms by Naomi Norbez (call me Bez)
I would LOVE your feedback, whether via the feedback form or through the forum! This is a huge passion project of mine, and I want to make it the best game it can be! Whether you like it or hate it, let me know what you think!

UPDATE 10/23/24: The demo’s now at 1.0, with voice acting is now in the game!!! Please give it a play even if you have checked it out before–the voice acting adds so much, and everyone worked really hard on this!

My son loves backrooms. What’s the “spiciness” level of the game? Is it 18+ or more YA?

3

The animal/person/thing picture/sprite out of the dumpster doesn’t show. It shows the symbol of an unloadable picture.

The music is too silent.

Edit: Using Linux Chromium.

The current demo is more YA, just introductions and a short action sequence.

Got it! I think there are Linuxes at my local library; I’ll see if I can stop by there and test the game.

Didn’t realize I never replied to this, I am very sorry about that! I would’ve sworn I typed & sent something, but apparently I didn’t. I did test the game on Linux, but it worked fine on my end, so I unfortunately wasn’t able to find the source of the issue. :C
