About Welcome To The Backrooms


Welcome To The Backrooms



The halls stretch onward into infinity, segmented by elevators, paths, and walls. You found yourself here after tumbling through your door. Whatever you were doing before, it is no consequence now. Explore your new surroundings, seek out the lost pages and words of those that came here before, or perhaps even after you. Craft a future for yourself in this place. Hope beyond hope that the noises you hear on the outside of your hastily constructed camp come from within your own mind. Survive the Backrooms, an infinite liminal space in which you are alone. Above all else, never lose your way, your mind, or your sense of self to the madness of your own senses.

Honestly don't even waste your time with this, there are better free backroom games available. This game was bad, I quit not long after starting. Controls were just awful, could not see any sort of inventory so I couldn't see what I was holding. Controls aren't changeable, there was no control label for dropping items so I was stuck slow walking around for too long holding a chair. Randomly dropped the chair after smashing all my keys!!!! For a survival game it was terrible.... The only thing the start had going for it, was that it did give me a feel of being in a backroom.

Welcome To The Backrooms is a strange survival horror game that I found more interesting once I stopped thinking of it as a traditional horror adventure and started treating it as a survival sandbox. I wake up inside the Backrooms and have to explore an enormous maze while trying to keep myself alive. I liked the idea of having to survive the environment itself rather than simply following a fixed horror story. The survival systems are a big part of the experience. I have to pay attention to things like thirst, stamina, body temperature, sanity and my overall physical condition while exploring. I enjoyed this because it makes the Backrooms feel more like a place where I actually have to live rather than just a series of scary corridors. Even moving around can become something I have to think about when my resources start running low. Exploration is supported by procedural generation, so the layout can change rather than giving me a single fixed route through the maze. I liked the uncertainty this creates because I cannot simply memorize the safest path and repeat it. The possibility of randomly encountering an entity also keeps me cautious, especially when I have already wandered…

Welcome To The Backrooms is an independent survival horror game developed and published by Brickmade Productions. Drawing inspiration from the unsettling mythology of the Backrooms, it offers more than a straightforward horror adventure by blending exploration, survival mechanics, crafting, and character progression into a single experience. Rather than leading players through a scripted sequence of scares, the game drops them into an endless maze of eerie environments where every decision revolves around staying alive and uncovering the mysteries hidden within the labyrinth. The premise is simple but effective, allowing the oppressive atmosphere and constant uncertainty to drive the experience instead of relying on an elaborate storyline. The game's greatest strength lies in its commitment to survival. Every expedition into the endless corridors requires players to carefully monitor numerous physical and psychological conditions, including stamina, hydration, body temperature, sanity, heart rate, and injuries. These interconnected systems create meaningful tension because survival depends on much more than avoiding hostile creatures. Supplies are limited, exploration carries genu…
