How it feels

A disorienting and tense survival horror walking sim where you navigate endless mazes with a single life, unpredictable AI, and resource scarcity.

What players say

Players are split on this early access Backrooms game. Many call it an empty slideshow with a huge map, no objectives, and a single generic monster. Performance is terrible even on high-end hardware, and the controls cannot be rebound. A few players enjoy the atmosphere and fear of the unknown, but the consensus is that development has stalled and there is little to do.
