Wanderers, ask yourself: is Escape the Backrooms really about escaping? Or is it about the friends we made along the way?

(...okay it is literally about escaping but you get the point)

The Steam Awards 2025 are coming and we think the 'Better With Friends' award deserves a nomination for everyone's favourite co-op survival horror jumpscare-fest. Whether you team up with IRL buds or find new allies online, or whether you co-operate like a well-oiled machine or sprint in all directions at the first sign of a Skin-Stealer, Escape the Backrooms is all about shared memories. Or nightmares.

If you agree, tick that very enticing box above to give the game your nomination, with winners announced before the end of the year. We'd really appreciate your support!

Plus, if you happen to have any highlights of you playing Escape the Backrooms and literally making it Better With Friends, share your co-op clips over on Discord, or tag @EscapeTheBackroomsGame on TikTok.
