Play it if you…
Good fit- Horror fans who want multiplayer matches built around suspicion and deception

Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a solo campaign may hit a wall at the multiplayer-focused structure.
- Players who prefer direct combat may bounce off the need for deception, suspicion, and social deduction.
- Players who want a slow-paced experience may find the stated fast-paced matches too intense.
Our take on BACKROOMS: APPREHENSION
The bounce point arrives when the hidden-role system takes over: scientists must work together while questioning teammates, while the Skin Stealer must deceive rather than depend on direct attacks. Players who do not want that social pressure may hit the wall early.
What is BACKROOMS: APPREHENSION?
This online multiplayer horror game supports up to 12 players and combines action, stealth, horror, and social deduction.
Scientists must scavenge for supplies and weapons, cooperate with their team, expose the hidden Skin Stealer, or find a way to escape. One player takes the monster's role and must eliminate or infect all humans before they discover its identity or leave. The Skin Stealer can assimilate victims, hide among the group, spread distrust, and turn players against one another. Dynamic proximity voice chat supports communication within the game. The opposing roles provide two different play styles, while interactions between players contribute to replayability.
