Our take on Backdoors
The store emphasis falls on the shifting labyrinth and cooperative fear, while the game also depends on searching for resources, solving puzzles, and advancing through chapters. It is therefore structured around exploration and progression as well as encounters with entities.
What is Backdoors?
Backdoors is a horror adventure set in the Backrooms, featuring 100 procedurally generated rooms and chapter-based progression.
Players navigate changing environments, search for resources and clues, solve cryptic puzzles, and uncover hidden passages. Hostile entities with different behaviors and abilities pursue explorers throughout the labyrinth. Cooperative multiplayer supports groups of up to four players, with proximity chat for coordination. The chapters draw on Backrooms creepypasta and lead players deeper into the setting. Dim lighting, ambient sounds, and eerie visuals create an unsettling atmosphere. Procedural room generation changes the layout between playthroughs, while exploration and survival remain central as players search for a way out.
