About the Game

BACKROOMS: LIMINAL ESCAPE is a VHS-style horror game set in the eerie liminal spaces of the Backrooms. Featuring stunning photorealistic graphics and intense, engaging gameplay, it delivers a thrilling and immersive experience.  

Unlike a typical Backrooms walking simulator, BACKROOMS: LIMINAL ESCAPE keeps you on edge with moments where you’ll need to run, hide, stay silent, and more to survive.

Explore a wide variety of maps, each carefully crafted to stay true to Backrooms lore. Every level adds depth to the mystery and horror of these haunting liminal spaces. You can also disable the VHS effect for an entirely different game.

Additionally, the game has a 'No Entity' option for players who want to explore the 12 different levels without any scares. (This option is available in the Extras section of the main menu.)
