About THE OFFICE ROOMS
A short exploration game set in the abandoned offices of productivity analysis.
Discover its past, purpose, and secrets!
INVESTIGATE ANOMALIES:
An abandoned productivity facility still hums with power. Your task is to inspect and contain the remaining “anomalies” - strange rooms that defy logic and design. Each anomaly has its own visual theme and behavior, forming a self-contained mystery to uncover.
CORPORATE HORROR:
A sterile, corporate setting slowly breaks apart into something surreal. Discover fragments of the facility’s purpose and the story of the AI that once ran it - and may still be trying to. Lights flicker, hallways shift, and the environment reflects your descent into its memory.
ENDLESS 9-5 PRODUCTIVITY LOOP:
Each shift begins in the central lobby. Select three anomalies to investigate, explore the facility to locate them, archive their data at the workstation, and return before “End of Day.” Progressively, the systems degrade - and so does your sense of what’s real.
LIMINAL WALKING SIM:
Minimal UI, procedure posters, PA announcements, and 80s-era tutorial videos guide you through your “duties.” But the deeper you go, the more the simulation breaks down.
A SHORT, IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE:
Built for fans of Backrooms, Pools, and Severance, The Office Rooms offers a 1-2 hour narrative experience that blends liminal exploration, subtle horror, and corporate absurdity.

I had no idea what I was doing or what I was supposed to do. If anything, this game increased my anxiety level.2 found this helpful
The workers have rebelled against the system. Take notes and experiment with anomalous combos. Will you be the one to escape? Creepy, funny, and rewarding.1 found this helpful
Too confusing for beginners.
Nice walking sim mystery game. You don't get any instructions and figuring it out is part of the gameplay. Quite fun, short liminal game.
Not that much tbh .. 5 / 10
"free backrooms/liminal/anomaly game? sure why not" is what i'm sure many of us thought upon adding this to our libraries. Little did i know that this was going to be one of the most impressive liminal experiences that i have encountered in recent months - and i've played about 20 similar games in that span of time. this demo office rooms is a truly impressive experience. I cannot help but be reminded of CONTROL and SEVERANCE (show) more so than the Backrooms. Level design, soundtrack, and mechanics are wonderfully executed...the bits of lore that are provided via intercom announcements, notes, employee handbooks, etc. are fantastically written and leave me yearning to know more. I really hope that the dev returns to this idea/game to potentially create something grander. Nevertheless, i greatly appreciate this experience and am shocked that its free as a price tag of 7.99 would've been more than reasonable for an experience of this caliber and length.
