Backrooms

Backrooms drops you into a vast, decaying office labyrinth that seems to stretch without end. The air is thick with the hum of old fluorescent lights, and every hallway looks like the one before it. Your only goal is survival—move carefully, listen for distant footsteps, and keep your bearings as the monotony tries to break your mind. This isn't a game of jump scares; it's a slow-burn descent into unease where even the silence feels heavy. As you wander, clues about the space's strange logic emerge: faded signs, unusual markings, and the occasional helpful item. But danger is never far—something else calls these halls home, and it hunts by sound and movement. You'll need to decide when to rush and when to freeze, when to hide and when to run. With no map and no hand-holding, every step becomes a calculated risk. Can you piece together the patterns of this shifting maze and slip through to safety, or will you become just another lost soul in the yellowed expanse?

What is Backrooms

Backrooms is a first-person psychological horror that strands you in an infinite office maze. It's all about atmosphere and decision-making, where every turn could be your last mistake.

How to Play

Use the mouse to look around and WASD or arrow keys to move, with Shift to sprint and Ctrl to crouch. Interact with objects by clicking, and keep an eye on your surroundings—entity behavior is tied to both vision and noise.

Tips for Playing

Crouch-walk when you hear growling or heavy breathing to avoid drawing attention.
Memorize landmarks like wall stains or door gaps to build a mental map of the chaos.
Use sprint sparingly—your stamina drain makes noise that attracts danger.
Break the monotony by checking every room for items; a flashlight or battery can save your run.
Listen carefully for distant sounds; they often signal the approach of something lethal.
When panicked, find a corner and hold still—some entities lose interest if you don't move.
