The Backrooms 1998 – Found Footage Survival Horror Game is a very short but entertaining title that you can finish in about an hour. However, it has an incredibly well-crafted, terrifying atmosphere that keeps you on edge. This is especially true of the monster that’s constantly breathing down your neck and hears almost every breath you take. I definitely recommend playing this game, not only for the atmosphere but also for its deeply unsettling story.
