About Enter The Backrooms

✦ AI summary

Enter The Backrooms is a survival horror game where you navigate an infinite maze of increasingly nightmarish levels while fighting off your deteriorating sanity and hostile entities lurking in the shadows. Explore over 100 sub-levels across 54 unique areas, collect artifacts to empower yourself, and meditate to maintain your grip on reality as the environment systematically breaks you down.

Enter The Backrooms is a survival horror game that takes place in an infinite maze of rooms known as The Backrooms. Throughout the game, The Backrooms gnaws away at your sanity, resulting in unexplainable sights, sounds, and experiences. In order to survive, you must meditate to regain your sanity before you succumb to the psychological effects of The Backrooms. As you wander the endless expanse of humming lights, stained carpet, and old wallpaper, you can find paths to new levels, evade corrupted entities, and empower yourself with artifacts.

Enter The Backrooms has 34 Main Levels, along with 20 Secret Levels to stumble across. These levels take place in various settings, ranging from claustrophobic tunnels to infinite cities. On each level, you can encounter areas with distinct properties known as Sub-Levels. There are over 100 Sub-Levels to find within the Main Levels. Levels also contain small structures that reward you for exploring.

You are never alone in Enter The Backrooms. There are over a dozen different entities that you can encounter, and they get more malicious the deeper you go. Most of these entities are hostile, corrupted beasts that will drain you both physically and mentally. However, not everything in The Backrooms is out to get you. Some entities will offer you assistance as you brave insanity-inducing environments.

In order to survive The Backrooms, you must stock your inventory with items and collect artifacts that make you more powerful. In addition to finding items, you can also find journal pages scattered across the ground, some of which provide helpful hints for progressing through the game. Your progress can be tracked with Achievements, which reward you for successfully completing levels, exploring the game's mechanics, and finding secret areas.

Enter The Backrooms is a perfect game for anyone who wants a creepy psychological horror experience at a low price. Enter The Backrooms promises players an unforgettably surreal experience that no other game provides. That being said, this game is NOT for players who want gorgeous visuals, heavy story elements, or a particularly polished package. This game was developed without a game engine and by a single teenager in their spare time. It is in no way professionally crafted. Lower-end devices may not be able to run this game, so please see the recommended specifications before installing Enter The Backrooms.

Much of what is in Enter The Backrooms is based on a collection of fictional writing known as "The Backrooms Database", which includes a plethora of articles from numerous writers around the world. Some aspects of the game are based entirely on these writings, while others are their own concepts spliced in to make the experience more unique and cohesive.

Enter The Backrooms is considered feature-complete as of Release Version V, although small quality-of-life updates may be made as time goes on.

✦ AI summary

Enter The Backrooms offers an immersive backrooms experience with impressive variety across numerous levels and creative monster designs that appeal to players seeking atmospheric exploration and lore authenticity. However, the game suffers from significant polish issues including poor UI design (no master volume slider, escape key doesn't exit menus), stamina management that forces frequent breaks, and overly massive levels that feel padded rather than purposefully designed, which combine to make progression tedious and frustrating.

You need to restart your game to change window settings like full screen mode (that is not on by default). There is no master sound slider, if you want the game to be on a different volume you need to change 4 sliders. You cannot exit the menu with the escape button. It uses AI generated pictures in picture frames, ugly ones at that. It is insanely annoying that you don't generate stamina while walking, thus you need to stand still every minute or so. There is no sense of exploration imo and the game gets stale very fast. The only aspect I really liked was when the sanity meter was low the game trolled me by placing down loot on the floor that disappeared when I got close to it. Else the game feels like an early access or beta, not polished, (to me) not fun.

By far the best backrooms game steam has to offer if you just want to immerse yourself and live inside of a backrooms universe. If you want to mind-numbingly walk through endless halls of insanely varied and impressively generated rooms and dozens (over 30!) infinite levels that all offer each their own quirks and certain events, constantly fearing very creatively designed monsters (for their limitations that is, they don't seem to be able to properly path themselves through the halls, but the dev did a great job at hiding that by having very creative pathing and enemy design of each entity.) Also honestly my favorite part is just playing in free mode and seeing what each level has to offer, you could honestly spend hours in most and it's insanely cool how many secrets and little gimmicks I've found in the levels themselves. Beating the game is a heartracing and kind of brutal journey, but feels well worth it by the end and you will go through hours of very diverse and tense backrooms, and who could ask for more? Lastly, while I am sad to see the developer has given up on major updates, I personally think this game has much more to offer even as a side project, and is the most imp…

will come back later to this game but the main reason i stopped playing was because the game is deep and very lore accurate with how uncomfortable the backrooms is (i lowkey got a headache due to the sound of level 1 lol). This game is better than other backrooms games IMO if you're searching for a deep experience. However this apects of the game makes it slow and hard. Reccomended if you're looking to experience a harsh version of the backrooms (and a strong feeling of uneasiness).

Literally the best game ever made.
Not recommended Aug 3, 2026
While the game has a lot of unique levels and a neat power up system, the sheer vastness of the levels makes it really difficult to progress at a reasonable pace, making it feel like a cheap way to increase playthrough time. Overall I'd give it a 4.5 / 10, A very slight thumbs down.
