The Backrooms concept is genuinely unsettling on paper: infinite office corridors, fluorescent lights, the wrong kind of silence. Escape the Backrooms builds a co-op structure around that dread with enough level variety and puzzle coordination to give groups more than one session of content. My group ran it expecting a novelty and found a game that actually sustained the liminal unease across multiple levels. It sits outside the top ten because the production craft does not match the bigger picks, and some sections feel rougher than they should. Still a stronger co-op horror choice than most of what you will find at a similar price point.
