BACKROOMS ANOMALY has about 52 positive and 16 negative player reviews out of a total 68. We'll add a detailed breakdown here when there are more reviews.
You are trapped in a looping corridor deep within Level 0 of the Backrooms.
Yellow walls stretch ahead beneath buzzing fluorescent lights. Everything looks familiar, but something never feels quite right. An object may be missing or no longer quite as you remember it. Other times, the corridor can transform into something deeply unsettling, or entities can appear where you least expect them.
Examine the corridor carefully and decide whether something has changed. If you spot an anomaly, return to the entrance. If everything appears normal, continue through the exit.
Each correct decision builds your streak. One mistake resets it. Reach a streak of 10 to complete a survey cycle, recover a new field log, and advance the investigation into Level 0.
Recover nine field logs chronicling your assignment in Level 0. Piece them together to uncover fragments of your past, learn who sent you to catalogue the anomalies, and follow your growing suspicions about the researchers who came before you and the hazmat-suited Warden who patrols the corridor.
Discover all 70 anomalies to complete the catalogue and uncover the final entry.
Complete Classic Mode to unlock Survival Mode.
Multiple anomalies can appear in each corridor. Photograph them all before the timer expires and work your way through the entire catalogue. The run ends after three missed shots, when the timer expires, or if you are caught.
