About the Game

Backrooms.əxə is a liminal experience designed for lovers of liminal spaces. Here, you are free to walk, run, climb, descend, or simply stop and observe as you traverse a gigantic labyrinth of soft carpets and wide rooms. Here, the true challenge lies in the sheer vastness, the isolation, and your own ability to maintain your sanity in the face of endless architecture.

Step into a colossal interpretation of the Backrooms. Satisfy your spirit of exploration by discovering and contemplating the intriguing architectures generated by this dimension, and allow yourself to get lost in the stillness and nostalgia of pathways that lead to an endless array of strange places.

You are home. Stay wherever you wish for as long as you wish. The experience focuses on continuous exploration and a sense of nostalgia for times and places never lived, yet strangely familiar. Your curiosity is the only key capable of revealing what lies hidden beyond every wall. 

No one lives here, but not everything is still...

  • Colossal Scale: Explore a massive environment that challenges human perception of space and distance. Your only rivals are the sheer vastness of the world and the psychology of isolation.

  • Non-Linear Exploration: Forge your own path through an immense network of interconnected architecture. There is no correct route; getting lost is part of the expedition.

  • Experience Customization: Enable or disable a wide range of visual effects to tailor the experience to your ideal atmosphere, whether you prefer a retro, nostalgic aesthetic or a cleaner, more modern presentation.

  • Pure Liminal Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in tranquility, plush carpeting, and the profound nostalgia of an architecture that feels familiar, yet completely deserted and forgotten by time.

  • Many Secret Areas: Careful observation and curiosity are rewarded. The world is filled with hidden passageways, forgotten locations, and unexplored corners waiting to be discovered.

Switch Between First- and Third-Person Perspectives.

Adjust the blur intensity to create your Ideal experience.

Explore the Backrooms as if they were recorded on an old VHS tape, complete with the visual character of an analog recording, or disable the effect for a cleaner and more modern presentation. Two different ways to experience the same endless world.

Take full control of the visual experience. Enable or disable effects such as film grain, chromatic aberration, sharpening, and lens dirt, then create your own unique combination to achieve the perfect atmosphere.
