How it feels

Navigating an endless, disorienting maze of liminal spaces under a constant, oppressive hum, driven by the tense need to survive and escape.

What players say

Players are split on In The Backrooms. Many praise the cheap price and the backrooms atmosphere, but frequent complaints call out nauseating headbobbing and the character's heavy breathing. The game is very short with only one monster and multiple broken levels, and it gives no hints about what to do.
