Backrooms by Kane Parsons — did anyone else feel Control and Little Nightmares (video games) all over it?

Discussion

Saw it in theaters. Curious if others picked up on what felt like heavy influence from both games, specifically:

​

- The spatial design and set dressing

- Room tones and ambiances

- Diegetic music

- Voices and institutional atmosphere

- Creature design and monster sound design

- Makeup/practical effects on the creatures

​

Parsons never cites either game in interviews. Doesn't mean much. Just want to know if other people with game audio or production backgrounds clocked the same things.
