✦ AI summary

The Backrooms: Descent offers silly fun in cooperative multiplayer, with players praising the enjoyment of playing with friends, though the experience is brief and currently contains only a few levels.

But that was also due to Sanity? -On that note, Sanity. It SEEMS to be a mechanic but I couldn't tell you for certain. Our characters would progressively seem to get more insane on the Parking Garage level, scribbling things on our clipboards. That was neat. And often, those scribblings would vanish when we drank almond water. But... it didn't happen every time? My buddy would …
