About True Backrooms

The most accurate depiction of the backrooms.

Wander an ever growing maze in this horror themed walking simulator. Try to escape before you succumb to madness or before any monsters notice you. You might not be alone. Game length varies wildly dependent on the player, but most can expect a 20-40 minute horror experience.

Features:
Cool retro graphics.
4:3 aspect ratio.
General controller support.
Unique Scares.
A huge labyrinthine plane of existence.

Too many games miss the mark when it comes to recreating the backrooms. It should be about getting lost, losing hope, and going insane from the monotony. So I have created it. Can you reach the end of the backrooms?

Warning: This game is designed to make you experience insanity, player discretion is advised, and the game contains some flashing lights.

This is honestly the best and most accurate Backrooms game ever made. It is extremely faithful to the Extensive Lore and Expanded Universe featured on The Backrooms Wiki and the amount of content is simply staggering. If you click the "random article" button on the wiki, you can be guaranteed you'll find something that's also in this game. I've seen a bunch of people get stuck in the opening area, so here are some tips and tricks to help you progress: - The first exit is near an electrical outlet. There are a few in this Level, but the specific one is underneath some graffiti that reads "FISH SQUAMOSUM" (this makes sense if you're familiar with the Lore written by the famed Backrooms author VaporLiminalMario64). Make sure you grabbed the rusty spoon at the beginning of the game (it's directly behind the starting area through a wall with no collision) or you won't be able to flip the switch in the socket to open the exit. - The scary squiggle monster only moves when you aren't looking at it, but it will also charge you if you stare at it for too long. As an aside, as someone who has been playing indie horror games for decades, this is a brilliant idea for a monster's behavior and…

Developed by WafflePaws, and released in 2016, the game is what you can see in the video. Albeit the screenshots on Steam seem to show a forest level, this is not present in the game, as attested by a user. I can't recommend it due to this, and, honestly, left me extremely angry since I lost my time searching for something that is not in the game...
