The Backstreets

About

The Backstreets is a first-person shooter inspired by classic action titles. As Kain Rodriguez, you navigate dimly lit cities overrun by a militant group called The Moths. Your mission is to dismantle their operations, but the line between hero and experiment blurs quickly. Combat is fast and direct with a focus on close-range gunplay. The game’s story unfolds through environmental clues and fragmented logs, hinting at a deeper conspiracy involving identity and duplication. Every encounter raises questions about who you’re fighting and who you might be. GRG Productions leans into a gritty, no-frills aesthetic that complements the game’s paranoia-driven narrative. The twist about Kain’s potential origins adds a layer of uncertainty to every mission. Though it lacks multiplayer, the single-player campaign holds up well for fans of straightforward shooters with a bit of narrative curveballs. The game launched in late 2021 and remains a niche pick for those looking for a lean, action-forward experience with a dash of existential mystery.
