Unnerving as they’re, I really like liminal areas. These countless rooms and corridors which have a distinctly menacing aura about them, however nothing you possibly can fairly put your finger on. I’ve an innate curiosity in direction of them, and no matter spookiness they may maintain. As such, I discover Backrooms on Steam to be very engaging certainly.
Basically, Backrooms is a discovered footage horror recreation the place you wander via completely different deserted areas. There are creepy homes, dimly lit workplace corridors, and woods as darkish as evening. They comprise cryptids and different oddities, and all you’ve to do is survive and report as a lot as you possibly can.
It’s someplace between Blair Witch and an countless runner, and I’m all the way in which in primarily based on the demo that’s out there on Steam. The quasi-ghost recreation leaves a haunting impression, with hyper-realistic environments, rendered in ’90s VHS crackle.
The important thing to those form of experiences, to me at the least, is a sense that one thing very fallacious has already occurred, or about to occur. Backrooms does that very effectively. Developer Discovered Footage Studios plans so as to add new ranges each second week, however the upcoming PC recreation may have an editor so you may make your personal to commerce with different gamers.
There’s co-op too, so you possibly can all be spooked out collectively. Multiplayer video games of this ilk do very effectively on Twitch and YouTube, and I wouldn’t be shock if Backrooms finds an viewers there too. You need to test it out now if you’d like a quiet chill whereas the evenings are nonetheless chilly and darkish.
