A downloadable game for Windows

THIS PROJECT IS DISCONTINUED

Unfortunately, we have discontinued the development of this game, only the demo remains available.

HOWEVER, A REWORK OF THIS GAME IS COMING! CLICK TO CHECK OUT ITS PAGE!

Get ready for our NEW PROJECT!

After almost 3 years since the release of this game, we have realised that we approached the Backrooms concept and the game design in a wrong way. For a few months now, we have been planning out a new Backrooms game.

We will make a BRAND NEW Backrooms game that will be faithful to the actual Backrooms lore! Our source for the lore will come from the official Backrooms wiki.

So FOLLOW US on Itch.IO for when our new page for the new game is ready. You can also check back on this page from time to time, we will announce the game here, too, when it's ready. :)

Take it slow and relax...

The game adjusts to how you play it, if you panic and sprint around too much, you'll face the consequences. Rather, take it slow and steady, that's the key to escape.


Close your eyes...

5 months passed by and by now he has gone through this door twice, but he never told his wife what he's found in there.
All he ever says to her is "Never open the door and always keep it locked under ANY circumstances and don't tell anyone about it.".

Hey! Thanks for playing. This game is almost 4 years old and hasn't been updated since. We've recently come back to it and we are reworking it into a new game with a new approach, you can find out more on this page!

4 years?!?! I have no idea how I didn't notice that lol. I'll check out the new game, thanks!

is it DEMO, right???

no me puedo mover...en la portada parece un buen juego pero no lo puedo jugar lastimosamente, no se que sea este bug, el juego inicia bien en el nivel 0, pero ya despues del texto, cuando suena el PUM y te manda directo al nivel 0, no me puedo mover, solo funciona el click, E y Q, y esc, he probado con wasd y todas las letras del teclado

It definitely has potential

I was stoked to see the smoke person, but then they were gone...... 

its just a demo so I cant complain, looking forward to the next levels!

It's a shame that this was discontinued, the textures and the atmosphere are among the best verions of the Backrooms games imo

No, this is not from any Open Source Kit. This game was made and programmed entirely from scratch in the Unity engine.

This game was also published way before the other project was made open source.

this is from the Open Source kit from IEP_Esy 

ok

I really love the design and effects in this version of the backrooms. The constant noises and increasing ringing really starts to get at you, and the massive area leaves you wandering lost. Plus if you come across it at a weird time it's really startling.
