Description
Explore the seemingly infinite expanse of eerily familiar levels in backrooms based on the popular creepypasta lore. Each level features different ways to escape with dangers along the way.
Realistic graphics, minimal user interfaces, and dreary ambience combine for an atmospheric horror experience that's terrified millions of players on Steam.
Explore the backrooms with a team of up to 4 players. Good luck: teammates may no-clip into other areas of the map and every member of your team must reach the exit alive to escape. No wanderer left behind.
Traverse 30+ unique levels based on backrooms lore. Don't wander far from your team, as you can easily get lost in the confusing expanse of the backrooms.
Check every corner for the many hostile entities lurking inside the backrooms. Each has their own mechanics. Learn quickly if you want to survive the horror.
Communicate with your teammates with proximity voice chat. Entities can also hear you, so stay quiet whenever you're near danger.

The game is really fun itself, many levels and features to explore. Only problem i might have, and Im being real picky here, is the replayability. Maps aren't procedural, repetetive once you've played it once. Overall the game is entertaining and a good way to spend time with friends

The game was great until they took away freedom of speech in the last update. Why would you blur swear words in an adult rated game!!! At the very least the team could have added a profanity filter in the menu that can be turned on and off!!!
