Best Imposter game I have played yet. That's an EASY recommend. Currently has a low player count but I've been organizing fridays where we can all meet up and get some rounds in, We're playing every friday at 9PM EST or 8PM central, so yeah grab this game if you're considering it, it's an indie dev and he made something really great it just doesn't have advertisement or marketing. He deserves your 3 dollups easy recommend, get this game today play with us on the weekends or if we get enough players maybe we can have rotating around the clock lobbies.

So much potential in the concept, but needs a lot more work, and because of that, servers are pretty much entirely dead. We severely need the ability to customize settings per match. How much damage each faction does with guns/melee, how much health humans and stealers have, how many guns there are, how much pills heal, and how long respawn timers are, how many eggs, and in addition the toggling of many game mechanics. Game design isn't easy, but it's not great here, and wouldn't be super difficult to just let us do it for our matches to balance for things like fewer players or the (understandably) lacking gameplay variety. The price is fine how it is, but I hope this is worked on enough to warrant a price increase, it certainly has the potential. Because it's worth the price with friends, and still being updated, I'm changing my review to positive. I just couldn't get a lobby without help is the main thing

Incredibly fun game, especially if you have your own group that you play with if you have enough people. Look this take on the classic cops and robbers without knowing who's the robber. All it needs is more content, more enemies you can play as and more levels. Definitely needs descriptors for what abilities do and each different players abilities or whatnot as I assume each human has different strengths or weaknesses. Overall great game and can't wait for more content

Backrooms: Apprehension Nothing but awesome game play from the moment you spawn. The dynamic of the game will have you playing match after match and before you know it hours have flown by. You and friends play as Research Personal with the soul goal of surviving the backrooms and destroying giant egg pods. But beware, one among you is not what they clam to be. One of your group is an infected Skin Stealer, who will stop at nothing to kill all in its path. Everyone looks the same at first, but through group discussion using directional voice chat, you can try to determine who is safe, and who is a killer. For Online Co-op with friends that will have you laughing for days, this game is more then worth the price tag it has. You will not regret joining the Backrooms: Apprehension community. Solid 10/10
