About Chained in the Backrooms

Chained in the Backrooms is a 1-4 player co-op horror game. It features levels with liminal space environments where you can solve puzzles, complete tasks, and fight against creatures with unique designs. Your choices will impact the game's progression.
The game is based on a popular creepypasta. Unlike other games of this genre, we have created different mini-games and puzzles in each level. As you progress, you will encounter scarier and more intense atmospheres. To advance, you must explore each level, understand the tasks and mini-games, and learn how to deal with the creatures.
All the while, you are chained to one another. The chains restrict your movement, requiring you to move together. This may make it challenging when playing mini-games or escaping from creatures.
You can interact with environmental elements to survive. There are items you can loot, which can be used to restore stamina and health.

Each level may feature different environment designs, puzzles, and creatures. Level transitions are indicated to the players. If players lose, they restart from the checkpoint. There is no connection between levels, and the tasks are independent of each other. The difficulty level will increase as you progress.

The Backrooms are actually a dream. Every time you pass a level, you move through a layer of the dream. To escape the Backrooms forever, you must overcome and complete all the levels.

The First 60 minutes was Not better than any other 60 minutes of my life. The chains aren't just physically keeping us close, it's a metaphorical commentary on the bonds we share with those we are closest too. man on man… did I laugh playing this game. Especially punch my friend Edwin and Jacob. We started arguing at one point on who is going first, ultimately Edwin’s lady had to take lead for us. In all reality though, The game is poorly optimized for multiplayer. It has constant issues with latency and issues with rubber banding that made specific parkour spots ALMOST unplayable. This Chained in the Backrooms reminds me of obby course you’d come across on Roblox. I will say it does have better graphics than Roblox (which is not hard to do) On the plus side… no micro transactions and free updates (but it’s been 15 months since of this review)… so 1000% better than a roblox game. When will this game get an update? Most likely never… Is this game worth $5.00? NOPE! Should you get this game on sale? Maybe if you’re looking to lose/waste your money. Should you but this game for your friends? Nope? Fix/work on the rubber banding issue and your network issues and life could be…

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
