What is Nextbots: Backrooms Sandbox

Step into a shifting labyrinth of yellow-tinted rooms, where each attempt brings new dangers and new strategies. The Nextbots are relentless, but so is your will to outlast them.

How to Play

Navigate the procedurally generated Backrooms by using your movement keys to explore and sprint when necessary. Avoid direct contact with the Nextbots, and use your environment to hide or create distance until you find a way to survive the level.

Tips for Playing

  • Always listen for audio cues—Nextbots often announce their approach before you see them.
  • Memorize the layout of the early rooms to find quick escape routes when danger strikes.
  • Use corners and doorways to break line of sight with pursuing entities.
  • Experiment with the sandbox settings to create easier or harder runs depending on your mood.
  • Don't panic; staying calm helps you make better decisions under pressure.
