That's more people than live in the Pitcairn Islands.

A terrifying multiplayer horror experience with social deduction elements. Trapped in the Backrooms, up to 12 players must try to work together to survive and expose the shapeshifting Skin Stealer hiding among them before it’s too late. Who will you trust?
