This game is simple effective and cheap. When i saw this game I thought it was going to be terrible. But get a group of you and three or more friends and you will have a wonderful time. A thing i enjoyed was the gun gameplay along with being able to find ammo and other things like grenades. Another amazing feature is how you can evolve thy character when you are the entity. PS Albert Wesker is goated.

THE MOTION BLUR IS THE WORST PART OF THIS GAME PLEASE GIVE US A OPTION TO TURN IT OFF Don't expect there to be a open lobby to join right away, me and my group play this game about every other day (there are 4 of us) and after maybe 2 or 3 games we will have about 8 or more players, you just have to be patient. I have been playing on and off since release but this game is very fun when you get into it i can not wait for more updates since the game has already come nice and far. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☐ Beautiful ☑ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☐ Very good ☑ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☐ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☑ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☐ Check if you can run paint ☑ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☐ Floppy Disk ☑ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 15% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☑ Easy ☐ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☐ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☑ No Story ☐ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ It'll replace your life ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☑ Average ☐ Long ☐ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☐ Never heard of ☑ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ ARK: Survival Evolved ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☑ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☐ 10

Backrooms: Apprehension is one of those small games that quietly earns its keep. At its original price of $2.99, it was already solid value. At the current $1.49 sale price, it’s an easy pickup and a bit of a hidden gem if you enjoy messing around in atmospheric co-op horror with friends. There are some fun gameplay ideas here, a few mechanics that help it stand out from other Backrooms-style games, and enough tense or funny moments to make it worth firing up with a group. It’s not a massive experience, and it’s not doing anything revolutionary—but it doesn’t need to. This is the kind of game you boot up occasionally, get some good scares and laughs out of, then happily move on from until the mood strikes again. Not essential. Not forgettable. Just a fun little experience at the right price. 6.8/10 Great value. Best enjoyed with friends. Absolutely worth it on sale. 👁️‍🗨️
