ABOUT

Ever wanted to explore an endless maze infested with the forces of evil? Then enter THE BACKROOMS. This is my take on the creepy pasta using Doom like textures! A survival horror maze runner adventure game, it draws inspiration from Doom, Wolfenstein and of course Backrooms.


STORY

You awaken from a slumber, disoriented, in a vast, dimly lit expanse of fluorescent-lit yellowish rooms that seem to stretch into infinity—the Backrooms. The sound of buzzing lights and the faint echoes of footsteps fill the air. With no clear memory of how you got there, you quickly realize that you are trapped in this unsettling limbo, littered with old, stale carpet and abandoned territories.

Determined to find a way out, you begin your journey in the hopes of an escape from the Backrooms. Along the way you discover fellow captives of this hellish labyrinth and various entities each representing fragments of lost lives. 

As you explore your surroundings, you encounter bizarre and seemingly endless hallways and transcripts which are the keys to unlocking the secrets of the mysterious backrooms. 

Despite the unsettling nature of the Backrooms, you present a glimmer of hope, teaching yourself all about resilience and the idea that you can forge your own path, even amidst despair as you inevitably come face-to-face with a malevolent beings that feed on the fear and despair of those lost within.

You the player must come to terms with the fact that this twisted space operates on its own rules, where nightmares and reality seem to warp and shift, causing you to question your own sanity and resolve.


OBJECTIVES

  1. Find 3 transcripts, which will unlock the secrets of the backrooms & help you escape!
  2. Find the white room, a small hidden room with white coating, your exit out of the backrooms!

(Failure to collect the transcripts result in a bad ending)

TIPS

  • Save often especially when you make good progress like finding a transcript or an empty room with health/ammo!
  • It's a BIG maze, you will get lost alot so try and get your bearings and use TAB!
  • This is survival game, it's advised you avoid combat as much as possible.
  • You will die alot, especially if you get boxed in, make sure you're ready to get away as soon as you see a bad guy, don't look back because some are very fast!
  • Stock up on ammunition when you can, make every shot count!
  • Turn volumes up to 100 for best music/sfx experience!
  • For best lighting experience go for about *2 in video settings, (1 is too dark and 3 is too bright!)
