Backrooms Buff Doge Horror is a free indie horror game where you run through mazes on different levels to escape a monstrous hound that looks like the dog on the Doge cryptocurrency coin. You’ll find clues and weapons along the way, but you need to pass the level without being killed. Fortunately, you can defeat the beast if you have the right tools.
Other indie horror titles you can try include 5 Nights at Shrek’s Hotel, Eyes - The Horror Game and Haunted Warehouse. Backrooms Buff Doge Horror plays in a first-person perspective, which makes it even creepier when walking through dark rooms with your torch. There are different themes per level, each with its own horror aesthetics.
Hiding from horror
From the moment you land in Backrooms Buff Doge Horror, you’ll need to make your way through different rooms. There are plenty of doors, so finding your way out isn’t easy. Some will open to traps of the monster hound, which means you’ll need to run or fight.
You have the option to hide if you want, but the beast will come looking for you eventually. There are two ways to pass a level: kill the Doge monster or find the hamburger icon. Once you do any of these, you’ll head to the next stage with more challenging puzzles and mazes.
Finding and using weapons
You’ll find both melee and ranged weapons in Backrooms Buff Doge Horror. The first option is handy for when you open a door and the monster is right there, but it’s better to run away. You can also use tools in some situations to open objects. The firearm is an excellent way to do damage from afar, but you won’t find it so easily.
Stunning indie horror effects
Some of the most pleasing effects are the indie horror visuals and sounds. The textures hail from the 90’s horror games, which brings a sense of nostalgia. The only off-putting element is that a robotic voice does the talking for the Doge beast.
Excellent indie horror experience
Backrooms Buff Doge Horror is an incredible experience that will last you between 25 to 30 minutes – if you’re lucky. It can become confusing in the mazes and rooms, and you have a wild buff creature hunting you down.
You’ll be hoping to find the hamburger before the monster finds you, but you can kill it with the right tools. It’s best to find a weapon as soon as possible if you want to survive.
