About the Game

Backrooms in the Forest - Anomalies at Every Turn. How to Escape the Looping Forest? How to Survive? What Backrooms Await You on Your Path?

You are not just lost in a forest. You have fallen into its backroom — an anomalous reality where the familiar landscape is twisted into an endless, paranormal trap. Here, you will meet an old man who also ended up here and, it seems, has been unable to find a way out for a very long time.

Your goal is to unravel the anomalies and find the path to salvation. Every wrong decision returns you to the beginning of the loop. Some cycles may lead to classic Backrooms locations — eerie, sterile spaces beyond the forest, where different laws apply.

Beware: Monsters roam these chrono-loops — creatures that were also once trapped here and have forever lost hope of escape.

Reach the end to escape this mysterious and terrifying forest-backroom.

Tips:

  • Pay close attention to your surroundings and the anomalies. The slightest discrepancy in the landscape could be the key to the right path.

  • Sometimes, there may be 3 or 4 possible forks leading out of a loop, each taking you to different layers of this place.

  • Remember the details. If you make a mistake and return to the beginning, it is these details that will help you avoid repeating old errors.
