About The Backrooms
The Backrooms game adapts the internet creepypasta into a first-person horror exploration experience. You've somehow noclipped out of reality and fallen into the Backrooms — an infinite network of empty office spaces with yellow wallpaper and humming fluorescent lights.
The unsettling atmosphere comes from the game's emptiness. The sound of distant humming, the sameness of every corridor, and the certainty that something is watching you builds dread without a single jump scare.
- Procedurally generated Level 0 — the infinite yellow rooms
- Entities that roam the halls and must be avoided
- No combat — survival depends purely on awareness and movement
- Hidden documents that expand the Backrooms lore

Walk through the corridors and document your surroundings to avoid going in circles. Listen for entities — certain sounds indicate nearby danger. Do not run unless threatened: the noise attracts attention. Look for anomalies that might indicate Level exits. Stay calm — panic leads to poor decisions in the endless maze.
