About the Game

Backrooms: What's Next is a cooperative horror game for up to 4 players where you and your friends will explore a spooky environment using your memory and wits to complete the game.

  • Fresh Perspective
    This isn't your typical backrooms experience. It's a unique interpretation that sets it apart from the ordinary.

  • A bad situation
    The game is not so easy to play to the end, there are some tricks to it.

  • High complexity

    There are no tutorials in the game, it is not suitable for beginners!

  • Co-op
    Supports up to 4 players simultaneously.

  • Stealth
    All your actions generate noise and attract attention.

  • Immersive AI
    AI's behavior is utterly unpredictable. Even I can't anticipate its next move.

  • Also for your attention

  • Old-school mazes made of corridors

  • The presence of flickering light, be careful if you have problems with it.

Caution

This game is unique compared to many others that focus on the backrooms concept. It sets itself apart by not simply copying everything detailed within the community. Instead, it carefully integrates specific elements of the backrooms, providing a distinct perspective rather than mirroring the entire concept.
