Chained in the Backrooms is a multiplayer horror game where 1-4 players must escape creepy, liminal locations with riddles, duties, and unpredictable animals.
New mini-games and mechanisms in Chained in the Backrooms make each level fresh, unlike previous Backrooms-inspired games. Unsettling surroundings intensify as players progress. Every decision affects the outcome, making teamwork and strategy crucial for survival.
The chain that links all players restricts movement and requires coordination. Players must explore levels carefully because the chain might make escaping hazards or solving puzzles harder. This mechanism makes every encounter stressful, encouraging players to communicate and plan. Some barriers need coordinated movement, while others require quick reactions to avoid threats.
The game Chained in the Backrooms depicts the Backrooms as a dreamlike condition with deeper sleep levels. Players must complete each stage, completing objectives and overcoming hazards, to escape. While stages are separate, progression raises difficulty, requiring adaptability and teamwork. Each failed effort resets players to the last checkpoint, stressing cautious investigation and decision-making.
