Backrooms with a Friend

About Backrooms with a Friend

Backrooms with a Friend is basically a trip through a huge yellow maze where you can’t tell one hallway from the next. You keep walking, hoping you’ll find the exit before something creepy comes after you. The longer you stay, the easier it is to lose your way.

You can explore on your own or bring a friend along. Stick together, split up to look around, or let your friend draw the monster away while you run for the exit. Sometimes helping each other works. Sometimes you just have to run.

What Happens During a Backrooms Run?

A run in Backrooms with a Friend usually starts pretty calmly. You explore the empty rooms, check different corridors, and try to remember where you came from. Since almost every corner looks the same, getting lost can happen faster than you expect.

Things get much more stressful when a creature shows up. When a creature shows up, there’s no time to think too much. Run, hide, or take the next turn and hope it works out. With a friend, you can either stay together or split up and search different halls. Either way, finding the exit is only part of the challenge; you still need to reach it without getting caught.
