Our take on The Backrooms
The game replaces the usual adventure structure of a clearly directed journey with exploration through unstable spaces. Multiple possible endings also replace the expectation of one definitive conclusion.
What is The Backrooms?
The Backrooms is a short exploration game set in a strange world that becomes increasingly convoluted and unstable.
The goal is to explore multiple levels and find the exit, if one exists. Players can also investigate areas beyond the expected boundaries and look for Easter eggs.
