What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As a solo developer, early access allows me to get the game in the hands of players and gather feedback that will shape the final version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will be in Early Access for about six months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the full version I plan to add new maps, modes, mechanics and ideas implemented directly from the community's feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version provides players with one mode and one map, there is already plenty of replayability thanks to randomization systems and the nature of multiplayer.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will not change during Early Access.
A minor raise of price could happen but only if the content in the game will justify it.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

About This Game

BACKROOMS: APPREHENSION is a terrifying and immersive multiplayer horror experience that blends action, stealth, horror, and social deduction.

The game offers two vastly different play styles, high replayability thanks to player interactions, and a unique atmosphere of dread and paranoia.

SURVIVE AND ESCAPE AS A SCIENTIST

A hostile shapeshifting monster is lurking among your team and won't stop until every last human has been eliminated!
You'll need to scavenge for supplies and weapons while trying to work with your team to expose the creature or find a way to escape.
Be extremely careful! Trusting the wrong person could be your last mistake...

MANIPULATE AND TERRORIZE AS THE SKIN STEALER

As the monstrous shapeshifting Skin Stealer, your only goal is to eliminate or infect all humans before they expose you or escape.

Direct attacks won't work against a well-coordinated team; you’ll need to be cunning.
Assimilate your victims, hide in plain sight, sow distrust, spread paranoia, and pit them against each other.
