Inside the Backroomsis an indie-developed multiplayer horror game based on the CreepyPasta Backrooms universe. The game has taken the lore from those online stories and turned them into a tense and genuinely creepy survival horror-escape room experience still in Early Access on Steam and a bargain for horror fans.
Even if players aren’t familiar with the works that inspiredInside the Backrooms, the game is arguably better going in blind. There are puzzles to solve while trying to find one’s way out of the terrifying backroom offices that appear to have no end. Surviving the challenges, working together, and avoidingthe entities ofInside the Backroomsare paramount to survival. It’s immersive and, by conforming to the style of the horror genre, unforgiving. So can players save their game to make the experience less tense?
