Why did this even release?

I love backrooms games. When I saw this on tiktok, I had to try it. When I got the game and played it for a bit, I was majorly disappointed. I know that the game is in "Early Access" but come on, that alone isn't a excuse on why someone would wanna "release" their game when there's barely nothing to do in the game. Why release a game when it barely has anything to do in? The game is a basic walking simulator. Only has two levels. Your hands IRL don't match with your in-game hands (PLEASE FIX THAT)! The IK doesn't function, there was a basic lack of guidance on how to do anything. The performance is horrible even on a Quest 3. I would recommend pulling the game from the Meta Store and keep working on it more and more until there is content like multiple levels (not just 2), sanity system and more. As of now, I don't recommend this game.

Monster

Yo shockwave interactive y’all should definitely add a monster, cause almost all horror games i try to play are only gorilla tag movement, and I want a game that I have to sway my arms around just to run away from a monster, so please devs add a monster it will make the game 10x better.
