❤ Cooperative Horror Gameplay

The game tasks players with working together in teams of up to 4 to explore the maze-like Backrooms and escape its various levels. Teamwork and communication are essential as players must navigate the environment, solve puzzles, and evade the dangerous entities that lurk within.

❤ Puzzle-Solving Mechanics

The game features a wide range of puzzles that players must solve to progress, ranging from simple object-based challenges to more complex, multi-step problems that require logical thinking and cooperation to overcome. Importantly, the puzzles are dynamically generated, with randomly changing solutions, to encourage replayability and prevent players from simply memorizing answers.

❤ Resource Management

Effective resource management is crucial to survival. Players must scavenge for essential items such as flashlights, radios, and healing supplies, and carefully manage their limited inventory space. Deciding which items to prioritize and how to best utilize them can mean the difference between life and death.

❤ Stamina and Anxiety Systems

The game incorporates stamina and anxiety mechanics that add tension and challenge. Players' stamina is limited, requiring them to carefully manage their movements and sprinting to avoid exhaustion. Encountering entities also increases the players' anxiety, which can impair their vision and decision-making, making it more difficult to evade or confront threats.

❤ Entities and Evasion

The game's entities have unique behaviors and attack patterns that players must learn and adapt to in order to avoid detection and survive. Carefully timing movements, utilizing environmental elements, and coordinating with teammates are essential for successfully evading the entities.

❤ Revive and Respawn Mechanics

If a player is killed by an entity, they enter a downed state and must be revived by their teammates within a limited time frame. Failure to revive a fallen teammate results in their permanent death, forcing them to spectate the rest of the level. This added layer of risk and consequence encourages players to work together and prioritize reviving their comrades.
