The Best Backrooms Game Ever If you always wanted to try a Backkrooms-style game, but couldn't choose which one you should try first - this game is the best choice to start with! Plus, this game is in Early Access , which means that the game will receive more updates in the future, including also new levels, so the game is not dead, that's for sure. Also this game has Co-op Multiplayer, so you can also play this with your friends (it's always more fun to run from monsters and screaming with someone :)) So yeah, I definitely recommend this game for purchase!

Now, when you first install this game, which is an action I highly recommend, your first thought will very possible be, "man this game looks like crap." However, it's not all about that. What its about is the thrill, the fun, and the exhilaration of running on infinite stamina screaming with your friends from some murderous thing. If you can get your friends to get it, please give it a chance, the levels get even more fun as the game progresses and your gang of hazmat fellas gets sillier.

FIRST PLAYTHROUGH OF THE GAME IS COMPLETE AND WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW I didn't expect what this game was, and i'm sorry to say, thought it was just gonna be the average four player ghost hunting video game that has flooded the horror market. this game was not that it was a fun, exciting, decently psychologically scary game, that kept us entertained... Each round is something new, and old mechanics dare not overstay their welcome...everything is simple, sweet, and concise, and that adds to the horror. The Game's a horror escape room, and i've really fallen in love with it.... Also the music director for the game....idk what drugs you took for the "You Day" theme song...but AMAZING!!!! my only gripe my only issue my only problem is that relay station level...it killed me on the inside...between the dogs being SUCH AN EAR BURST to the machine's just kind of not wanting to let a lever switch....but if that's the only level...out of the QUITE A DECENT FRICKEN AMOUNT that i had issues with....pffttt that's fine... all in all: Great game, refreshing in this current horror video game market, especially in terms of multiplayer....would/will play again multiple times, especially as the game updates more and more.
