About the Game

Backrooms: Threshold

The Backrooms have been breached.

As a researcher assigned to the Threshold Initiative, your team enters unstable portal events to investigate an ever-changing labyrinth of impossible architecture. Recover anomalous objects, document strange phenomena, map the unknown, and survive encounters with entities that should not exist.

Every expedition generates a new section of the Backrooms to explore. Gather enough research to unlock new equipment, push deeper into the anomaly, and discover what lies beyond the next threshold.

Investigate the Unknown

Use specialized equipment to uncover evidence and anomalies hidden throughout the Backrooms.

  • Record entities with your camcorder.

  • Photograph anomalous objects and environments.

  • Detect hidden artifacts using scientific instruments.

  • Build a live map of each expedition as you explore.

Recover Valuable Anomalies

Bring recovered objects safely back through the portal to earn research points.

Upgrade your equipment, improve your chances of survival, and prepare for increasingly dangerous expeditions.

Explore Procedurally Generated Expeditions

Every portal opening creates a unique layout.

No two investigations are the same as you navigate an ever-changing network of interconnected Backrooms modules.

Survive the Backrooms

Not everything inside the Backrooms wants to be found.

Encounter strange entities, spreading biological growths, and unexplained phenomena as the environment becomes increasingly hostile the longer your expedition continues.
