About the Game

Christmas in the Backrooms shouldn’t exist… yet here you are.

You wake up lost in an endless maze of yellow walls and flickering lights — and someone (or something) wants you to celebrate. Santa has stolen the kids gifts and moved them into the Backrooms. Forty-two scattered gift boxes are the only way out. Collect them all, escape the nightmare, and try to survive long enough to beat your best time.

But you’re not alone down here.

Strange figures dressed for the holidays lurk in the dark. Some stalk you quietly. Some charge the moment they notice. And some… don’t follow the rules of reality at all.

Keep moving. Stay alert. Listen closely. The Backrooms never stop watching.
