Two-Headed Coin
Description
The Two-Headed Coin is a peculiar artifact found scattered throughout the Backrooms. Each coin bears identical markings on both sides, defying the fundamental nature of currency where opposing faces typically denote different values or representations.
The origin and original denomination of these coins remain unknown. No mint marks, dates, or identifying features have been documented. The metal composition seems to shift depending on the lighting conditions of the level in which it's observed.
Usage
Two-Headed Coins serve as the primary currency within the Backrooms. Your current coin count is displayed in the Inventory screen. Coins can be used to:
- Trade with certain entities
- Activate vending machines
- Unlock specific passages or mechanisms
Location
Two-Headed Coins can be found in containers throughout all levels, dropped by defeated entities, or discovered in hidden caches. They are among the most common artifacts in the Backrooms.
Lore Notes
The existence of a coin with two identical faces raises philosophical questions about chance and fate in the Backrooms. In a place where the normal rules of reality don't apply, even the concept of a coin flip - that fundamental binary of possibility - becomes meaningless.
