Hey everyone!
Two weeks ago, I introduced a new game mode, and now I’d love for everyone to give it a go! To make that happen, I’m hosting an open playtest where you can jump in and try it out. This is a key moment in shaping the future of the game, and your feedback will help me determine if this is the right direction.
🛠️ New Tools & Traps
🔍 Radar – Detects all lifeforms around you, both friend and foe.
🎭 Decoy – Toss it to lure the entity away. But be careful - it won’t fool them forever.
🚨 Sensor – Alerts you when something passes through its range.
⚡ Stopping Shocker – A last resort to stun the entity and buy yourself precious seconds.
❌ Deterrent – Scares the entity away… but for how long?
💡 Why This Playtest Matters
This mode introduces fresh mechanics, new challenges, and a different way to play. But more importantly, I want to know: Is it fun? Does it feel like a natural evolution of the game? What works, and what needs improvement?
If you have a chance to play, please let me know what you think! You can share your thoughts on the Steam forums, join the discussion on Discord, or fill out a quick feedback form (link in the game). Every bit of feedback helps me fine-tune things and improve the experience.
🌟 How to join?
1. Head to the Backrooms Media Steam page.
2. Find the Playtest widget and click “Play Now”.
3. You should be able to access it immediately - just download and play!
🚀 What’s Next?
Based on the playtest results, I'll tweak, fix, and refine the game mode with your feedback in mind. If it resonates with players, I’d love to expand it, adding new levels and fun mechanics to shape the game into something you'll truly enjoy!
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts and see how you tackle the new challenges!
