About
The Empty Halls is a VHS analog horror exploration game heavily inspired by the popular online idea of liminal spaces. If you don’t know what liminal spaces are, they are transitional areas that feel “in between” – not quite here, not quite there. Common examples are places like empty office buildings, underground car parks, abandoned shopping centres or dark play areas.
Almost all of the levels and spaces in The Empty Halls are based around the online community wikis for the Backrooms. I used these different wikis for reference images and descriptions of what each level looks like and what it contains.
In The Empty Halls, you are given a custom-built VHS camera, specially designed and supplied by the mysterious higher-ups at the Backrooms Exploration Company. Your task is to step through the threshold and explore the unknown. The higher-ups want you to record and document various anomalies and levels. The specifics of what they’re looking for are given to you as missions, delivered through a custom VCR setup.
This VCR setup allows you to play back your recordings and will tell you if you’ve completed the assigned mission. If you have, a new mission will be assigned.
There is lots to explore and I am really excited to share my creation with all of you!

Честно, сложно что-то сказать об этой игре положительного Т.к огромный рассенхрон в мультиплеере, даже когда мы спускаемся на лифте, то другой игрок исчезает, то задания надо выполнить всем, чтоб продолжить, да и много ПОКА-ЧТО визуальных багов, то что менюшка устаревшая говорить не буду У игры огромный потенциал, но пока слишком сыро, жду обновления и поменяю в будущем обзор, по крайне мере на это надеюсь
Awesome Backrooms games, fantastic atmosphere and some unique interesting mechanics with the camcorder. The game has some great surprises I was not expecting and lots of different interesting levels to explore. make sure to check this one out if your a backrooms fan:)
This game is actually pretty sick. The whole point is walking through the empty halls and recording anomalies to pass each mission. You gotta pay attention because some stuff is obvious but some of it is really subtle and will mess with your head. The vibe is creepy as hell and the atmosphere makes it feel tense the whole time. Simple idea but really fun if you like Backrooms type games. Definitely worth playing.
Multiplayer ist verbuggt und Spiel funktioniert nicht
Just beat all levels with 33% achievements. A super fun and trippy realistic backrooms game where you explore many large beautiful levels like pools, grassy fields, parking garage, shopping center and more. Explore the backrooms with your friends in this magnificent immersive masterpiece of a game!
Игра прикольная ток мало уровней а так на 1-2 часика позалипать с другом норм
VHS filter is too aggressive, there should be an option for the intensity. Cannot see my other friend in a 3 player multiplayer game, can only see the host. New Darkened Suburbs is bugged because you cannot 'no clip' to another level. Can we normalize playtesting before releasing a bugged out game?
Had issues where I couldn't look around using an xbox controller. The VHS effect is a bit overdone. Combine that with the flashlight and the game gets washed out. Then at one point in the game, I got stuck in the walls and couldn't move. Reloading didn't fix the issue so now I'm permanently stuck in the walls.
всем доброго вечера, хотел поиграть со своим братом но игра оказалась сырой. онлайн вообще не работает, игра лагает
Very good game! It looks amazing and I love how we are looking through the camera at all times. I got quite spooked by the chair a couple times tbh ;-; Amazing for a first time dev!!
