Backroom Games

backroom games was set up in liverpool, uk, in october 2021, by an insomniac student who had an idea that they just couldn’t let go of. the company’s flagship game is currently running through the r&d phase of its production. with a preliminary title of "the union", this game is bluff-heavy and persuasion focused. it is set within a university debating union, and each player takes on a different role within the general sphere of that organisation. they all have their own hidden incentives and abilities, and can only win the game when their goal is reached, screwing over their opponents in the process. perhaps the union will thrive, or perhaps it will not - all that we can be sure about is that each decision you make will tip the scales of your own success one way or another, until the game has finally been won.
