Our take on Backrooms Cycle
Players who want exploration without combat may bounce off when enemies appear and preparation becomes necessary. Those uninterested in making choices about helping scientists may also hit a wall in the questlines, where assistance is optional and the choices can be questionable.
What is Backrooms Cycle?
Backrooms Cycle is a first-person horror RPG about exploring levels of the Backrooms.
Use a slide system to move between locations, scavenge for loot, and prepare to face enemies. Gear up, improve an arsenal, gain perks, and visit a trader for equipment. Quests offer choices about whether to help other scientists, including some the game characterizes as questionable. Players can also contribute to upgrading an outpost in the Poolrooms, which unlocks new levels. Completing the main questline leads to fights against Backrooms entities. The game allows choices between assisting fellow explorers, building up the outpost, or focusing on personal survival.
