Backrooms: Apprehension

Backrooms: Apprehension is an online multiplayer horror game for up to 12 players, with two opposing roles: scientists trying to survive and escape, and a shapeshifting monster called the Skin Stealer trying to eliminate or infect them. Player interactions create two very different ways to play and give each match replay value.

Play as a scientist

A Skin Stealer hides among your team and aims to eliminate every human. You scavenge for supplies and weapons while working with other scientists to expose the creature or find a way out. Choosing whom to trust can determine whether you survive.

Play as the Skin Stealer

As the Skin Stealer, you must eliminate or infect all humans before they expose you or escape. Direct attacks are ineffective against a well-coordinated team, so you can assimilate victims, hide in plain sight, sow distrust and turn players against each other.

Multiplayer features

Matches support up to 12 players and use dynamic proximity voice chat. The game combines action, stealth, horror and social deduction, with fast-paced play and an atmosphere of dread and paranoia.
