About
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.

GAME OF SUMMER
i hate this game so freaking much it makes me very mad, madder then netenyahu but the monsters kinda a baddie so 10/10 would recommend
The environments themselves, the music, and the ambiance are top tier, however, everything else is just kind of mediocre. The entity models, the animations, the puzzles, its all just scuffed in their own way. The endings are also uniquely disappointing. You could probably have fun with some friends for the first half of the levels but after that it does start to drag.
I've beaten the game two and a half times so far. It's very, very fun, but it definitely has problems. Sometimes items will fall through the map, and several of my friends have had frequent crashes, including myself once or twice. The proximity based voice chat is bugged as well, with it frequently breaking or transmitting practically every little noise out of your mic with no in-between. It also isn't the *most* polished either, with a good amount of fairly jank animations with no smoothing / tweening between them. Some maps are also very barebones as well, lasting either seconds at most (the air castle level) or are no more than just running to the other end of the map. To give some examples, there is the houses and hills level, where the only objective is to run from one end to the other while going inside when night falls. We even tried over several playthroughs to get the puppets that come out during the night to attack us by keeping the lights on, but nothing happened. They just sat outside. The worst one is probably the arcade, though, which is a long hallway where the only "puzzle" is finding a ticket on the opposite side of the room for the elevator code. Some levels are pretty fun, though. The dark maze with the LIDAR tool and the second set of Fun+ levels near the end for example are both very fun, along most other levels in the game. I'd say 80% of the game is enjoyable. I'd definitely recommend it if you have a group of friends, but there are some caveats.
Un juego que pese a sus falencias se vuelve un deberías jugarlo con amigos para sacar su verdadero potencial. Entretenido con niveles mejores que otros pero con un alto potencial de risas y momentos ridículos al jugarlo en compañía.
