PLOT
The Backrooms: Rescue Expedition is a new game about liminal spaces.
You and your team are tasked with saving the lives of the missing expedition unit, Echo-7 North. Ruthless entities and the madness of infinite halls create an atmosphere of relentless terror. Nevertheless, bringing the equipment and rescuing the lost research group is your main objective.
RESCUE THE GROUP: SOLO OR COOP
This mission will be challenging, and how you will face that is completely up to you. You can go to the backrooms alone, or you can go through them in a team of 2, 3 or 4 players. Coop is never forced, but working together can be very rewarding. Regardless of the number of players on your team, the game will present you with the same level of difficulty.
PROXIMITY VOICE CHAT
You can use proximity voice chat to communicate with your teammates. Don't wander too far away from your team or you might find yourself lost in the endless confusion of the backrooms. In addition, Entities can hear you, so keep quiet whenever you are near any danger.
