About
Explore the seemingly infinite expanse of eerily familiar levels in the backrooms based on the popular creepypasta lore. Each level features different ways to escape with danger along the way.
Key Features
- Immersive Experience – Realistic graphics, minimal user interfaces, and dreary ambience will ensure an immersive experience.
- Cooperative Multiplayer – Explore the backrooms with a team of up to four players. Be warned, as teammates may no-clip into other areas of the map and every member of your team must find the exit alive to escape. No wanderer left behind.
- Unique Levels – Traverse though 30+ unique levels based on backrooms lore with regular content updates adding more. Each level features a different way to escape with various danger along the way.
- Dangerous Entities – Check every corner so you won’t be caught off guard by the many hostile entities in the backrooms, each with their own mechanics you’ll need to quickly learn if you want to survive.
- Proximity Voice Chat – Communicate with your teammates with proximity voice chat. Be sure to not wander far away from your team, as you can easily get lost in the confusing expanse of the backrooms. Entities can also hear you, so stay quiet whenever you’re near any danger.
