About BACKROOMS NO RETURN: Prologue
BACKROOMS NO RETURN: Prologue is a cooperative horror game where you play as a scientist exploring the nightmarish poolrooms dimension, only to discover there's no escape from the creatures hunting you. Navigate interconnected puzzles and environments with friends in proximity voice chat while using environmental clues to uncover your way back to reality.

- Singleplayer & Co-op Multiplayer
- Proximity Voice Chat
- Host and join lobbies

Play as a scientist whose goal is to explore the poolrooms. Finding a way back to reality will be your main goal.
As part of their ongoing research into human consciousness, the Neuro-Bio-Psychology Laboratory (NBP) has developed a revolutionary new machine. That teleports you into another dimesion called Backrooms. It is up to you how long you stay there...
With this technology, they can explore these dimensions in search for answers to this misterious dimension.

This game is powered by Unreal Engine 5 and we have focused on getting the best graphics possible to give you more immersion.

To make the levels more entertaining, you will have to complete a series of puzzles in order to continue. There are many different types of puzzles you will have to complete to continue your journe. The solution is not always obvious, but if you follow the trail of clues, then it should become clear what needs to happen next.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players overwhelmingly criticize the game for its poor graphics, awkward controls, and jarring audio design, with particular frustration directed at poorly executed jump scares that are more startling than effective. A few reviewers acknowledge it's a short, quick download that might entertain someone looking for a brief experience, though most feel the game fundamentally fails to deliver quality scares or engaging gameplay. The lack of content and generally amateurish execution make this a game most players regret trying.
This game is certainly NOT as bad the reviews. I went in after reading all the reviews expecting a horrible game but it really isn't. The graphics are better than most games on steam and the environments are well decorated. The cutscenes are surprisingly well made and the fact this is made by one person is insane. The voice acting is tts and the movement is a little funky but it is definitely not as bad as the reviews said. I actually had a quite fun experience playing this with my friend. Im excited for when the game comes out and expect good things out of the full game. I recommend.1 found this helpful
This game has gone past and beyond my expectations of what a backrooms game could be. The graphics, story, and sound is far superior then any game I have seen on this over picked market. The adventures I have gone with my friends have been amazing and truly one of a kind. I will be playing this game for many many years to come. And I will not get tired of this tiny demo. I highly recommend to anyone with the name Cain or Brody. Thank you for this masterpiece. I truly appreciate it.
Mid game ig. its stupid that u spawn in the poolrooms.
many bugs, lighting glitching through walls, and very little gameplay. the only scary element was a singular jumpscare, and it wasnt even good, it was only scary because everything else was just a walking sim. there was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ "puzzle" and thats it. it also uses ai slop voices, and probably models too.
i did not like it very muc i kept on getting stuck on stairs and i kept phasing though walls
My game crashed right before the ending. The ready/unready button is inverted, and why is "ALT" to crouch. And why can't we jump? Only pro is the jumpscare was so scary that it make me and my buddy Joey audibly scream and poop pant. Story was confusing and that's coming from a 50 year old gaming veteran. I'm a streamer that goes by the name "Kainen", trust me
