About The Backrooms: Survival

✦ AI summary

The Backrooms: Survival traps you in a nightmarish maze of procedurally generated corridors where you must scavenge for food, craft weapons, and fight off horrific entities while managing your sanity in permadeath roguelike runs. With cross-platform multiplayer for up to ten players, randomized levels and loot ensure every escape attempt feels fresh, while customizable graphics and multiple game modes let you tailor your descent into the Backrooms.

The Backrooms: Survival is a horror game with roguelike elements. Featuring randomized levels, items and events, every playthrough is a fresh one. Players find themselves in seemingly never-ending narrow and tight corridors known as the backrooms, where they will need to explore carefully in an attempt to find a way out. You will need to try and remain sane while seeking out food and drink, and avoiding any possible hostilities lurking around the corners..

Explore through The Backrooms and ascend to higher levels, each level home to different items, objects, events, and company.... Explore levels, and gather items through crafting, trading, and looting. You can even attempt to arm yourself and fight back against any threats with a range of weapons that you can even customize further! Gather crafting materials, you can even mine ore deposits on certain levels to craft items!

The Backrooms: Survival is a fresh and unique take on the Backrooms, and thus has some of its own original entities and levels, as well as some familiar to those familiar with The Backrooms "internet lore".

Features:

  • Four game modes - Permadeath, adventure, sandbox (console commands) and explore (peaceful!)
  • Cross Platform Multiplayer - Play with up to TEN players with cross platform multiplayer for Nintendo Switch and explore The Backrooms together, or join other existing online games in the public lobby. Proximity voice chat can be turned off/or on in the settings.
  • Rogue like elements - randomly generated dungeons, tons of items, crafting, items/equipment with random stats/specifications, and more, ensuring a fresh playthrough each time
  • Randomly generated levels - The Backrooms are randomly generated each new playthrough to ensure a fresh experience each time and no memorizing the layouts. Different themes/level types with many different types of entities and items. Different layouts and multiple Backroom theme types.
  • Survival Elements - You will need to scavenge the backrooms for any food and water you can find to survive, including drinking from leaks in the ceiling and cannibalizing the already dead, while trying to maintain your sanity
  • Crafting System - gather materials found throughout the backrooms or dismantle items to gather resources to craft new items, weapons, tools and many other things to aid your survival
  • Combat - find all types of weapons from makeshift axes to abandoned firearms. Fight back against a range of hostile entities.
  • Permadeath - Death in The Backrooms, just like in our reality, is permanent. With only one quick save save slot that auto-deletes upon death, you better be careful because in The Backrooms death could lie around any corner.
  • Choose your player - Before you enter The Backrooms, you'll have to either pick a random player or create your own, choosing your name, avatar, etc as well as choose from a list of real-world professions which each offers unique bonuses
  • Different Graphics Style - customize your graphics and choose different styles, such as a "retro, PSX style", or "VHS Style", and more
  • Inventory Management - You'll find all kinds of things down in The Backrooms... from edible substances to useful tools to not so useful junk. You'll have to manage your few inventory slots and prioritize what you think you may need the most
  • Leader boards - global leader board to see who can make it to the highest, deepest levels of The Backrooms...
  • Obituary System - All your unsuccessful attempts to escape the Backrooms which result in death will be recorded in game via the "Obituary System". Similar to a leader board/high score system, this records information that run through The Backrooms such as your player's name, age, profession, death cause, etc

✦ AI summary

The Backrooms: Survival is a survival dungeon crawler based on online Backrooms lore that players feel strays significantly from the source material. The core gameplay loop of exploring procedurally-changing levels, gathering resources, and managing hunger, thirst, and sanity meters is functional but unremarkable, with most reviewers describing it as repetitive and derivative of existing survival games.

this game has nothing to do with backrooms, don’t even consider buying this, it’s just a waste of money. First of all, lvl 0 don’t even look like backrooms, all u do is walk around and pick up random things like toilet paper or plushies, you’re being chased by random entities such as statues or sphinx (depends on a level). Whole game is about going lower or higher, you have to look for trapdoors or ladder, levels just look off, one time ure in “backrooms” (with green walls that just don’t look like backrooms, maybe more like a mansion), or japanese like maze or “greek” one. This game doesn’t make sense and is just a waste of time and money , if you really wanna buy this, buy this on discount but it’s not even worth it

This game is a Dungeon crawler that drags you through different backrooms levels, but this is pure backrooms fanfiction that kids on Twitter and YouTube pull out of their a*s with their custom "entities" that are all just their OCs But the gameplay its ok, the loop is simple, explore, loot, find the exit to the next level, repeat. It got hunger, thirst and sanity meters like every survival game ever made, a basic inventory, the usual stuff. Nothing revolutionary, you've played this game before in spirit I'm biased cos I enjoy survival games even when they're mid, so take that with a grain of salt The game entertains, and sometimes that's all a person needs. If you're into backrooms, you dont mind the cringe lore and like surviver games, it's worth a pickup on a sale, don't pay full price One more thing though, this game is full of jumpscares, clearly designed for streamers to fake scream at, or for play with firends (friend slop). Every minute there's a loud noise and some bulls**t flying at your screen, and it goes from funny to annoying real quick so let me give you a TIP: Turn the volume down for jumpscares in the volumen options or your ears are gonna file for divorce, the …
