TAGLINE
-------
Business in the front. Endless terror in the back.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
-----------------
An online co-op horror shop game with up to 4 players. Run a thrift shop by
day. Loot the Backrooms for stock by night. Mark your path, claim the loot and
get back alive! It's time to restock.

LONG DESCRIPTION
----------------
Running a thrift store should be easy money. One business loan later, you've
got a prime location and empty shelves. The bills are piling up, but luckily
there's a place nearby with nearly limitless stock: the Backrooms.

Step into the humming fluorescent maze. Somewhere in that yellow expanse are
the vintage lamps, CRT TVs, and armchairs the customers crave. You just have to
get them back. The Backrooms are procedurally generated and change with every
new game, and there's no minimap: grab your chalk and mark your way back, or
wander forever.

Up to four players can dive together. The loot is free, but it's still heavy,
and big furniture takes teamwork to move. Deep in the Backrooms, something is
waking up and it's watching you. Fight for your life, or drop the loot and run.

Get your haul back to the shop in one piece. Scrap the junk, repair the good
stuff at your workbench, and put it on the shelves. Every sale helps pay the
loan, the rent, the shop's new paint job, and the ammo for your next dive.

KEY FEATURES
------------
- 1-4 player co-op: Dive solo or squad up. Proximity voice chat means you hear
  your friends panicking two rooms away.
- Procedural nightmares: Endless, randomly generated Backrooms that get
  wealthier, and deadlier, the deeper you explore.
- Physical navigation: No UI waypoints. Draw on the walls with chalk to find
  your way back.
- Looting: Carry, drag, and push your haul. Big furniture requires teamwork to
  move.
- Escalating horrors: Enemy waves scale with your depth.
- Thrift store management: Scrap, repair, and shelve your loot. Decorate the
  shop and deal with customers to keep the lights on.
