About the Game

You should never have left reality.

A second of inattention, a misstep, and you are thrust into the Backrooms. This endless labyrinth of yellowish corridors, damp carpets, and the incessant hum of fluorescent lights is now your prison. But you are not alone.

To have any hope of seeing the real world again, you will need to explore shifting environments, manage your vital resources, and escape the horrors lurking in the shadows. Will you survive the anxiety, or will you become just another statistic in this infinite void?

Key Features

  • Ever-Changing Labyrinth: Do not rely on your memory. Thanks to procedural level generation, every escape attempt is unique. The corridors rearrange themselves, shattering your sense of direction at every moment.

  • Pure Survival and Sanity: Finding the exit will not be enough. You must actively manage your hunger, thirst, and above all, your sanity. Isolation and darkness will play with your nerves; lose your mind, and you lose your life.

  • Cooperate... or Get Lost Alone: Face the nightmare together in multiplayer mode. Stay grouped or split up: the game allows players to switch levels individually.

  • Proximity Voice Chat: Communicate with your teammates in real-time, but stay quiet. In the Backrooms, sound travels, and threats are listening. If you wander too far from your group, no one will hear you scream.

  • Limited Inventory and Crucial Choices: You start the adventure with only 4 inventory slots. Every item (water, food, tools) matters. Take risks to search every corner and hope to find a backpack to increase your chances of survival.

  • Fight or Flight: Facing the abominations that inhabit these places, fleeing is often the best option. However, you have the ability to attack entities. But beware: encounters are difficult, punitive, and highly risky.

Highlights

  • Unseen Threats: Prepare to face unique and exclusive entities. Learn their behaviors if you hope to escape them.

  • Total Audio Immersion: Dive into an oppressive psychological horror atmosphere thanks to an original soundtrack and sound design entirely crafted by hand (with absolutely no AI). Every creak and every echo is designed to make you doubt your own sanity.
