About the Game

An atmospheric horror game based on the popular internet creepypasta.

The game offers you to go on a journey through an intricate maze of yellow rooms, a night suburb, abandoned offices and other dangerous places of the Backrooms. You have only one goal – to survive and find a way out.



"If you're not careful and noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.
God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you.."
Exploring the Backrooms, you really need to be careful, because you are not the only inhabitant of this strange place.



Graphics, sounds, visual effects and character animations are made as similar as possible to the original “Founded Footage" from Backrooms. The game, in fact, is an Immersive simulator – an interactive tour of the Backrooms world.
