Our take on Poly Backrooms
The playful low-poly presentation receives strong emphasis, but the central structure is repeated-room exploration, puzzle solving, and avoiding entities. The listing also foregrounds planned additions, so current content should be separated from the stated future expansion.
What is Poly Backrooms?
Poly Backrooms is a multiplayer co-op horror game for up to four players.
It places players in a low-poly interpretation of the backrooms, where they navigate repeated room layouts, solve puzzles, and avoid dangerous entities. Challenges range from simple to complex and can be tackled individually or cooperatively. Puzzle solutions change between games, creating different problem-solving situations across playthroughs. Cartoon-like visuals and playful elements contrast with the horror setting, while deeper areas introduce greater danger. The vendor also lists plans for additional entities, levels, puzzles, items, gameplay improvements, and language localization.
