‘The Backrooms’ is a representative liminal space where beige carpets and yellow wallpaper rooms and walls are infinitely repeated. A new horror game has been released that provides a new interpretation of this unfamiliar and strange space.
The new game ‘Backrooms Break’, released on Steam on the 24th, is characterized by a different direction of fun from most horror games that use backrooms as a theme. Unlike existing backroom games that take a defensive approach of running away and searching for clues to avoid threats that suddenly appear in an unknown space, the new game ‘Backroom Break’ is an aggressive game where you can freely destroy and destroy everything that appears in the backroom. It’s a game. Not only the unknown enemies that threaten the player, but also the walls and pillars that make up the back room.
The official trailer released along with the release shows various places representing the back room, such as the yellow room, swimming pool, and parking lot, and shows the player running and attacking these places at high speed. The action-oriented gameplay is different from typical horror games, such as throwing an industrial sledgehammer like Thor’s Mjolnir to tear down walls and exploding drums provided as objects to inflict strong damage to monsters. Rather than managing your remaining stamina and avoiding monsters, you can hunt various monsters in the back room like a Doom Slayer.
Like other backroom games, a dizzying maze appears, where various weapons and additional ammunition are hidden. Usually, tension arises while wandering through a maze to survive, but in this game, the player can destroy the entire maze with a sledgehammer, so it is not a major obstacle. In addition to hammers, the game provides a variety of weapons, including machine guns, shotguns, and deployable bombs.
If you have always been interested in the familiar yet unfamiliar elements unique to Liminal Space, this game, which elaborately captures Backroom’s unique elements, also seems to be a refreshing option. ‘Backroom Break’, a new game with a unique backroom material created by a single developer in the Czech Republic, can be purchased through Steam. Currently, the official Korean language is not supported.
