About the Game


Meme Survivors: Backrooms is a casual game with a vivid visual style and simplified roguelike elements, immersing you in the mysterious and endless corridors of the Backrooms, filled with characters and enemies inspired by the internet’s most popular memes.

Choose from one of four unique heroes, each with their own personality and approach to survival. Pop Cat uses a powerful "Thu'um" that repels enemies and damages them at close and medium range. Banana Cat leaves behind puddles of tears capable of harming multiple enemies simultaneously. Whoosh and Dark Samurai Cheems are perfect for targeted battles, attacking enemies at various distances with differing speeds and damage.

Gameplay remains dynamic, requiring constant movement and maneuvering to avoid being surrounded by endless hordes of Cheems, Shleps, and other iconic memes. Expect intense battles against more than twenty enemy types, including ranged attackers, cunning scripted foes, and reinforced bosses able to withstand numerous attacks. Defeating a boss rewards you with a special case containing upgrades for abilities or weapons.

A game session lasts just 30 minutes, during which you can experiment with diverse abilities and unusual weapons, each adding new strategic and visual elements to gameplay.

The unique visual style, combining vivid pixel art with an atmosphere of internet memes, makes every session absurd yet captivating. Meme Survivors skillfully balances seriousness with irony, providing a truly unique gaming experience.

Can you survive half an hour in a world where every turn of a corridor is filled with humor, chaos, and unpredictability?
