Important Notes

This is not a typical Backrooms game. It doesn’t follow every detail from the online community. Instead, it offers a unique interpretation, integrating select elements in a fresh and atmospheric way.

The game includes flickering lights and audiovisual effects that may affect sensitive players.

Built using the SNK V2 system — featuring an improved main menu, enhanced lobby, online server browser, difficulty selection, player sound system (with UI feedback and AI reaction), and a dynamic visibility system based on movement, posture, and flashlight use.
