You are a wanderer trapped in the Backrooms, a maze of eerie, familiar places. Explore more than 30 levels and find a way out of each while avoiding the dangers inside.
Search confusing environments, solve puzzles and other level-specific challenges, and evade hostile entities. Depending on the danger, you may need to run, hide, crouch, or keep your distance.
Play alone or in a team of up to four. In co-op, use proximity voice chat to coordinate—but nearby entities can hear you—and every teammate must reach the exit alive for the group to escape.
Players often enjoy tackling the levels with friends, where tense escapes and sudden scares also create funny shared moments. Reviews also praise the varied environments and eerie Backrooms atmosphere, with some noting that the experience can be less enjoyable alone. Other players report bugs, limited replayability after learning the fixed maps, and difficulty understanding some level objectives.
Explore the seemingly infinite expanse of eerily familiar levels in backrooms based on the popular creepypasta lore. Each level features different ways to escape with dangers along the way.
Realistic graphics, minimal user interfaces, and dreary ambience combine for an atmospheric horror experience that's terrified millions of players on Steam.
Explore the backrooms with a team of up to 4 players. Good luck: teammates may no-clip into other areas of the map and every member of your team must reach the exit alive to escape. No wanderer left behind.
Traverse 30+ unique levels based on backrooms lore. Don't wander far from your team, as you can easily get lost in the confusing expanse of the backrooms.
Check every corner for the many hostile entities lurking inside the backrooms. Each has their own mechanics. Learn quickly if you want to survive the horror.
Communicate with your teammates with proximity voice chat. Entities can also hear you, so stay quiet whenever you're near danger.
