Our take on The Backrooms Footage
Level 0 can loop a straight walk back to the starting point while changing which rooms appear, making navigation itself a defining constraint.
What is The Backrooms Footage?
A horror game in which advancing footage from a found camera transports the player to the Backrooms.
The goal is to determine what appears in the recording and escape as quickly as possible. The game includes multiple levels. In Level 0, walking in a straight line can lead back to the starting point through a different set of rooms, while similar-looking spaces make navigation difficult. GPS locators and compasses fail there, and radio communication is distorted and unreliable. The setting draws on the Backrooms creepypasta, with empty rooms, yellow surroundings, humming fluorescent lights, and the possibility of hearing something nearby.
