Backrooms
Dare to step into the endless yellow halls of the Backrooms — explore, survive, and escape before something finds you.
Overview
Backrooms is a survival-horror experience inspired by the viral creepypasta. You awaken in a maze of monotone yellow rooms, buzzing fluorescent lights, and stale carpet. With no weapons and no clear direction, your only hope is to explore quietly, follow subtle clues, and avoid whatever lurks just out of sight.
Survival Mechanics
Backrooms focuses on atmosphere and slow-building dread rather than combat. Some versions challenge you to escape before time runs out, while others introduce mysterious entities and multiple levels with shifting rules. Your objective remains simple: stay alive, uncover clues, and find a path out — though every corridor may hide a trap.
You navigate unstable rooms, listen for faint audio cues, manage your movement noise, and search for hints that might lead to an exit. Layouts may shift, lights may flicker, and dangerous areas often conceal hidden threats. Patience and awareness are essential.
Core mechanics often include:
- Exploration: Move cautiously, map your surroundings, and use environmental clues to guide your path.
- Stealth: Minimize noise; running, dropping items, or sudden movements can attract unwanted attention.
- Resource Management: Some versions provide limited items such as flashlights, notes, or keys — use them wisely.
- Sanity / Time: Certain adaptations include sanity or time-based challenges that increase tension the longer you remain inside.
- Randomized Spaces: Rooms and exits may shift or loop unexpectedly, creating constant disorientation.
Controls
- W / A / S / D: Move
- Mouse: Look around
- Shift: Sprint (use carefully — it creates noise)
- Ctrl / C: Crouch
- E / F: Interact with objects or doors
- Flashlight key (often F): Toggle light
Survival Tips
- Move slowly and listen closely for distant sounds.
- Mark or memorize paths to avoid looping endlessly.
- Use the flashlight sparingly if power is limited.
- Treat every clue with caution — some may be misleading.
- Run only when necessary; noise can attract danger.
- Stay calm and pay attention to small environmental details.
