There’s no way you can hide when you’re in the “Inside the Backrooms” gameplay. Capable of running on GeForce Now and Microsoft Windows, “Inside the Backrooms” is an online co-op horror game where you and three of your friends will fight their way in the hopes you will escape from the various levels of the in-game backrooms. But here’s the catch: you must solve puzzles with a wide range of difficulties.
In this game, there’s the concept of entities. Let’s embark on a journey through the strongest of the entities, detailing how to survive them and their scare factors (not the wow factor). Starting now.
1. Entity Of Level 0 – The Bacteria
You can find this entity wandering around the first level, the Backrooms. Simultaneously, you’ll see this entity chasing you, uttering a loud screech, but at the same time, you may also spend most of your time on this level without running past it.
How To Survive This
- First, remember the map layout full well. Walk around and try to recall both an escape route for running away from Bacteria or the location of the closest locker.
- You may also hug the walls. This way, you can sprint around the corners quicker while keeping yourself away from this entity.
- Stay away from areas where the fluorescent lights emit a hue of the dark orange color. Be stealthy.
Scare factor: Fifth in the ranking
2. Entity Of Level 0 – The Smiler
The Smiler is the most annoying entity in the game since it just doesn’t know how to quit. Here’s how you can survive it.
How To Survive This
- The best way is to evade the darkness completely. Rely on Anxiety Pills to keep yourself sane.
- The perfect way to fight back is to ignore this entity. This negates all the effects it can hurl against you.
- Use your Flashlight to know if this entity is near you.
- Avoid its gaze.
Scare factor: Second in the ranking
3. Entity Of Levels 0 And 35 – The Hound
Third is the Hound. If you find the Smiler annoying, the Hound is even worse. This is because there’s just one way to handle and survive this entity.
How To Survive This
- Whilst in Level 0, listen out for the Hound crawling across the vents to reveal its location.
- When you hear it lurking, simply run away until you cannot hear any sound from it.
- Whether you’re in Level 0 or 35, you can stare down at it, automatically staggering it. Immediately run for your life afterward.
- Also, when you’re in Level 0, you can use a Screwdriver to lock it down. Stay by a door or make use of the sewage water that this entity cannot access.
Scare factor: Sixth in the ranking
4. Entity Of Level 22 – Skin-Stealer
Yikes, right? Clue on how to survive it: it isn’t a vampire but is attracted to blood.
How To Survive This
- Make sure to patch yourself up if you find yourself suffering from wounds from the past Levels. It typically roams around Cark Park, looking for its next victim.
- It acts like Bacteria, so you might want to position yourself ahead before it starts chasing you.
- When in doubt, hug the wall and stay near the closest safe room. You won’t want to forget to keep the doors open every time.
- Those playing co-op should listen to its unique footsteps.
Scare factor: First in the ranking
