A slow, eerie walk through endless, creepy rooms with a companion, focused on atmosphere and light puzzle-solving.

What players say

Players praise the character rapport and narrative but are split on polish. Many report a glitched boss, bad stamina, and a lack of save options, while others enjoy the variety of backrooms areas and an actual ending.
