6 itemsAbout the Game
"If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms."
BACKROOMS is an immersive first-person exploration horror game.
After falling out of reality, you are left alone with your VHS camera in an infinite space known as the Backrooms.
You must wander through these strange rooms, and use any resources you find along the way to help you escape, whilst trying to survive against the various dangers hiding within.
"...approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in"
Inspired by the original horror story, BACKROOMS uses procedural generation to make an incomprehensibly large and randomised map layout. The map expands the further you explore. No two rooms are identical, and every playthrough will be entirely unique.
