About Very Scary Backrooms Game

You've seen the backrooms, but not like this.

"Very Scary Backrooms Game" really is a backrooms experience like no other. Journey through liminal spaces while evading strange creatures. Who or what will you encounter? Find your way home...
if you can...

You wake up in an unknown location where everything is familiar, but not quite right. After navigating through this strange space, you will begin to realise that you might not be alone.
You'll hear things running around you.
Inanimate objects will appear to change their positions. Or is it all in your head?
You may even encounter other beings that are reminiscent of parts of yourself, but who knows if they'll help you or hinder you.

Very Scary Backrooms Game features three floors and can be completed in an extremely short amount of time with cunning, practice and healthy dose of luck.

"If you are in danger, run and hide."

How to Play



WASD to move
Mouse to look
Esc for the menu (be sure to adjust your audio and sensitivity)

On each level, look for anything that could be an exit. Whether it be an elevator or a hole in the floor. Your goal is to get out as quickly as possible.

✦ AI summary

Players praise this free game for being genuinely entertaining and creepy, with particular appreciation for its creative achievements and Level 2's horror atmosphere that drives replayability. The main criticism is that the game's description is somewhat misleading about what to expect, and some find the achievement requirements (like repeating actions 69 times) tedious rather than clever.

not bad. its a short game that lasts about 20 or so minutes. had to do a second run through to get the last few achievements but it was pretty nice. was excepting it to be scary though which it wasnt. i do like backrooms experience games though so i wasnt too disappointed because it delivered on the liminal. however i feel this is more of a walking sim than a horror game. still nice for killing some time with and some free cheevos (a few ya gotta work for) to pad your list of complete games with. id say if you like the backrooms and want a short chill game, give this one a go. just watch out for the skeletons on floor two, they got the whole weeping angel thing going on (dont know if you die if they touch you so just keep moving). if you decide to play, make sure you say hi to Bobby down on floor 3 for me when you get there!
