A first-person meme-inspired horror game

Backrooms Buff Doge Horror is a free game released under a “name your own price” model. It is a first-person horror game in which the player must survive in a labyrinth of rooms and corridors while being chased by an unstoppable monster based on a popular meme called Buff Doge Coin.

This game is another take on a popular online “creepypasta” story about glitching through reality and being trapped in the “backrooms.” This concept can be seen in similar games, such as Backrooms and Backrooms of Reality. It may be considered too scary by some players.

The backrooms

Backrooms Buff Doge Horror puts the player in the backrooms, the setting of a “creepypasta” story about glitching through the walls of reality and being trapped in endless, featureless rooms. This game differs from other takes on the Backrooms in that a relentless monster is pursuing the player, and they must avoid being killed by it.

Buff Doge

Buff Doge is a meme creature that has the head of a cute dog but the body of an enormous muscular creature. In this game, Buff Doge is brought to life and pursues the player around the Backrooms. The player must navigate the featureless rooms, run away from Buff Doge, and even find weapons to defend themselves from the monster.

Intense at times

Thanks to the nature of the game world, it is common in this game for the player to open a door and find themselves face to face with the monster. There are also 2D representations of the monster that are harmless, but it still provides jump-scare moments that increase the tension in the game. For this reason, the game may not be suitable for easily scared players.

A short game

The gameplay is limited and quite short, so the player shouldn’t expect to get much replayability or playing time out of this game. But for players who enjoy tense horror games, this factor may be appealing.
