Our take on Backrooms: Eight Levels
Rather than following a conventional adventure structure with familiar locations and clear progression, the game replaces them with surreal spaces, uncertain threats, and escape-focused exploration across eight Backrooms levels.
What is Backrooms: Eight Levels?
Backrooms: Eight Levels is an atmospheric horror game based on the Backrooms creepypasta.
It places players in a maze of yellow rooms, dark passageways, abandoned offices, and other surreal environments. Eight levels are available to explore, each presenting dangers and a route toward survival and escape. Players must move carefully through the spaces and avoid disturbing the entities inhabiting them. The presentation uses graphics, sound, post-processing effects, and animated characters and entities modeled after Backrooms found-footage videos. The game focuses on navigating strange locations while the threat of nearby inhabitants increases deeper into the otherworld.
