The Bonerooms is a goofy horror-themed multiplayer game about surviving in a living maze. What will be your downfall? The spooky inhabitants of the maze, or your fellow players?
The game puts up to 8 players online in an ever-changing maze, tasked with outlasting each other or cooperating to survive as long as possible. Players can choose between Free-for-All, Red vs. Blue, and Co-Op game modes.
The maze constantly shifts, forcing players to adapt on the fly. Skeletons and other spooky inhabitants patrol the corridors, posing a significant threat to players' survival.
Players collect "Pellets" to purchase a diverse array of items, ranging from silly tools like a bike horn to deadly landmines. These items can be used for defense or to sabotage opponents in creative ways.
The game's defining feature is the use of proximity voice chat, which allows players to hear each other in-game. This leads to panicked communications, taunts, and general silliness as players attempt to outwit and outlast one another.
According to player reviews, the chaotic, goofy nature of the gameplay is a major highlight. The ability to use items to sabotage friends and the unpredictable nature of the maze and its inhabitants create hilarious and tense moments between players. The proximity voice chat, in particular, is cited as a key factor in these memorable experiences.
