About
Explore the seemingly infinite expanse of eerily familiar levels in backrooms based on the popular creepypasta lore. Each level features different ways to escape with dangers along the way.

Realistic graphics, minimal user interfaces, and dreary ambience combine for an atmospheric horror experience that's terrified millions of players on Steam.

Explore the backrooms with a team of up to 4 players. Good luck: teammates may no-clip into other areas of the map and every member of your team must reach the exit alive to escape. No wanderer left behind.

Traverse 30+ unique levels based on backrooms lore. Don't wander far from your team, as you can easily get lost in the confusing expanse of the backrooms.

Check every corner for the many hostile entities lurking inside the backrooms. Each has their own mechanics. Learn quickly if you want to survive the horror.
Communicate with your teammates with proximity voice chat. Entities can also hear you, so stay quiet whenever you're near danger.

lil mizzyn takia tämä peli on hauska
This game is an absolute blast and offers a surprising amount of content for how inexpensive it is. I personally wouldn't recommend playing it alone, but I also wouldn't suggest filling the lobby with the full four players unless everyone is fairly experienced with games. In my opinion, the ideal group size is 2–3 players. I'd recommend picking it up during a sale, though I still think it's worth the price even at full cost. At the end of the day, it's a goofy game, and not every part of it is amazing (especially Level 5), but it's still an incredibly enjoyable experience overall.
very fun
