About the Game

You are trapped in a looping office corridor.

Don't overlook any anomalies.
If you see an anomaly, run back to the entrance.
If you don't see any anomalies, escape through the exit.

Only 10 correct predictions in a row will allow you to escape.

Backrooms Anomaly is a psychological horror game that tests your perception and attention to detail. Set in an endless office corridor inspired by the legendary Backrooms, you'll find yourself surrounded by yellowed wallpaper, buzzing fluorescent lights, and the unsettling feeling that something isn't quite right. A mysterious figure in a hazmat suit patrols these halls, adding to the tension as you work to uncover the truth.

Key Features:

- Explore a meticulously crafted looping Backrooms environment
- Spot subtle changes in the environment from posters to furniture
- Atmospheric sound design with position-based ambient audio
- VHS camcorder aesthetic enhances the unsettling atmosphere
- Normal and Hard difficulty modes
- Counter system tracking your discoveries
- Two different endings

Your mission is to carefully study your surroundings as you navigate the endless corridor. When you notice something has changed - be it a misplaced object, altered text, or something more unsettling - return to the entrance to record your discovery. If everything appears normal, proceed cautiously to the exit, but beware, only 10 correct predictions in a row will allow you to escape. Will you notice enough anomalies to escape, or become another permanent resident of these endless halls?
