Our take on The Backrooms: Escape
The focus on atmosphere, exploration, and obscured corporate history leaves less room for clearly explained storytelling. Players must piece together the setting through recordings and unfamiliar locations rather than following a fully disclosed account of the research project.
What is The Backrooms: Escape?
Explore a liminal world connected to a classified corporate research project.
The game follows recordings about unknown people and Sonax employees who hired others to carry out tests in mysterious locations before the project was halted. Players move through several Backrooms levels and other liminal spaces, searching for routes out while encountering dangers. Each area offers different ways to escape. The experience uses a minimal interface and a gloomy atmosphere, with the story and setting presented through exploration and discovered recordings. Falling out of reality serves as the premise for entering the Backrooms, where the player investigates the surroundings and remains alert while seeking a way back.
