About Backrooms: New Gate

Update - 25.11.2025
  • The game is currently in Early Access: I’m gathering feedback and gradually expanding the experience.
  • The project will be regularly updated with new chapters and content - this is part of my long-term development roadmap.
  • At the moment, the game includes the “Pool Rooms” chapter, with an average playtime of ≈ 45–60 minutes. I will be adding new sections and details to this chapter over time.
  • The interface is still minimalistic: there is a simple menu with basic settings.
  • The current settings include image quality adjustment and a frame rate slider to help tailor performance to your device.
  • An expanded settings menu (with additional options and improvements) is still in development and will be released within the next few weeks.
You can think of this game as an atmospheric installation where you don’t so much play as observe, listen, and gradually sink into the space. There are no quests or puzzles - only occasional moments that require attention. Most of the time, you simply… exist within a strange, enveloping world.Note: the atmosphere may feel oppressive. The game plays on fears of getting lost, darkness, emptiness, and endless rooms. There are no dialogues or music - only distant echoes and the natural sounds of the environment. Movement across certain surfaces can be slower, making the experience more realistic and heightening the tension. There is no traditional story, yet the environment slowly changes, revealing new spaces and hidden meaning in each area.As of now (25.11.2025), the game includes one large chapter, which takes approximately 45–60 minutes to complete.

i think i ended up refunding this the first time i played it, but gave it second chance now that its apparently fully released. they say on steam page that "No stressful chases, no overwhelming dangers", but there definetly is monster chases, i got jumpscared by 2 of them. at least the pitch black dead end maze area chase from first level was removed. there was couple actually really cool areas in the game that i really enjoyed vibing with, but as a whole its not that great. im giving it thumbs up for those few cool areas though.

A different and somewhat unique take on the Poolrooms. Overall, very enjoyable!

This game is perfect for me or anyone who likes similar style of these backrooms/poolrooms 👍 Good parts: - Fresh new take on the backrooms - Triggers deep water, sea creature, and dark hole phobias really well - Being curious and looking around is rewarding, since exploration actually shows you something - No annoying entity‑chasing mechanics 👎 Bad parts: - Still in early access - Dying resets you completely back to zero, would be better if respawning near the death point was possible. I'm super excited for this game to be finished!

Fantastic game. I finished level one, but it did not go to level 2. it just started back at level 1.

A pretty good entry to the Backrooms style games (it was my first). The designs and visuals are great, in some cases amazing. There were many times I was legit creeped out. I only with there was more to interact with, more interesting random things to see/find that are or or not clues, and maybe more entity interaction.
