Chained in the Backrooms

Chained in the Backrooms is a co-op horror game for 1–4 players, set in liminal spaces inspired by a popular creepypasta. You explore levels, solve puzzles, complete tasks and face creatures with unique designs. Your choices affect the game's progression, and you must overcome every level to escape the Backrooms forever.

Chained together

You are linked to the other players by chains that restrict your movement, so you must move together. The chains can make solving mini-games and escaping creatures more challenging. You can interact with environmental elements to survive, and loot items that restore stamina and health.

Levels and progression

Each level may have its own environment designs, puzzles and creatures, as well as different mini-games. To advance, you explore the level, understand its tasks and mini-games, and learn how to deal with its creatures. The atmosphere becomes scarier and more intense as you progress, and the difficulty increases.

The Backrooms are a dream, with each completed level taking you through another layer. Levels are independent of one another, with no connection between them, and level transitions are indicated to players. If you lose, you restart from the checkpoint.
