About SURVIVAL IN THE BACKROOMS

Survival In The Backrooms is an atmospheric horror game in which you will wander for a long time through surreal corridors and rooms in search of a way out. Immerse yourself in this mysterious world and try not to become prey for its inhabitants. This game is based on the famous creepypasta and has a large number of references and recognizable elements. Explore seemingly endless liminal spaces, search for supplies and avoid dangerous entities. Remember that there is no way out of Backrooms. No one has ever managed to get out of here. You can only go further, to the next level, if you guess how to do it. You will have to explore each room to find useful items or hints that will allow you to move on.

Levels


You will find yourself in the monotonous yellow rooms of level zero, swim in deep pools in Poolrooms and walk around the overgrown office at level 150. As a rule, the levels are a fairly large maze. You should be very careful to figure out how to get out of here and be careful enough not to disturb the local inhabitants.

Entities


In one of the many inconspicuous rooms, you can suddenly hear strange sounds, the monotonous hiss of an old broken TV, and then the loud trampling of someone's huge feet. If you find yourself in such a situation, you are most likely the end.

Weapons and Items


To survive in the Backrooms, you will need to look for weapons, essentials and dispose of them correctly. A pistol and a few rounds of ammunition can help you survive a collision with the entity, and food, water and medicine will restore your strength. Of course, resources will always be in short supply here. Put everything you can find in your backpack!

Gameplay Features

  • You have to explore three big confusing levels
  • Entities can meet in the most unpredictable places
  • Find weapons and other useful items. This will help you survive
  • Detailed menu of graphics settings, management and saving progress
  • Recognizable atmosphere of Liminal Spaces

At best a mid depiction of Caine Pixels 'The Backrooms' series, it feels bland and soulless with the TV head enemy seeming to be the only enemy(I couldn't stand it long enough to get past the first level). I was hoping to see an interesting twist on the formula, but found a generally soulless husk of a game that gave me little to no reason to continue, it may get better the longer you play but I don't have the time or will to get there if that's the case.

I bought this super cheap on discount, thinking it would be some crappy low budget thing, because I wanted to play a game set in one of those AI generated backrooms. But 15 minutes into it, the graphics are very decent, you can interact with a lot of objects, and the starting house looks ordinary but with a few unnerving things like old rusty washing machines (unless that's something American houses normally have). I like that there is a mirror cause games usually can't pull it off, except your reflection is whacked and I feel like they included it anyways cause it's so whacked it's a little scary. I'll keep you updated.
