The verdict
A polished, great-looking co-op Backrooms horror that shines with friends, but it's short and has some frustrating levels and a voice-transcription policy. Skip it if you'll play solo or want lots of content.
Great for
Groups of 2-6 friends who want a short, scary, funny co-op horror night
Main risk
Only about 3-6 hours of content, with a few tedious levels and voice-chat transcription you can't opt out of

Broken console crossplay
