About this game

Explore the seemingly infinite expanse of eerily familiar levels in the backrooms based on the popular creepypasta lore. Each level features different ways to escape with danger along the way.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Co-op horror supports humorous reactions and cooperative puzzle-solving.
Liminal environments, sound, and monster encounters create sustained dread.
Themed Backrooms areas create varied cooperative sessions.

Cons

Chase-heavy levels become repetitive after initial novelty fades.
Janky animations, finicky interactions, and awkward movement in tight spaces.

Pros & Cons are AI-assisted summaries, not our own playthrough reviews. Sources and how we make recommendations.
