Backrooms Game was inspired by the creepypasta of the same name that can be found on the internet. The game's idea is that there are an infinite number of levels of rooms concealed beneath reality's walls, and that if you accidentally clip through these walls, you would be trapped in a limbo of unending yellow corridors and carpets. The goal of the game is to escape this nightmare while avoiding the frightening entities lurking in the shadows.

How do you play Backrooms?

To play the backrooms, you will need a device that can connect to the internet as well as a browser.

The game is divided into several stages, each of which symbolizes a new, more sophisticated layer of the backrooms. Each level has its own individual look, layout, and threats. There are elevators or portals on some levels that will take you to the next level of the game. On some stages, there are additional extra elements or occurrences that can either help or hinder your progress through the game. You never know what to expect in the backrooms, so you should always be prepared for anything.

Keep an eye on how the game's sanity mechanism affects how you perceive the world around you. As you progress through the different backrooms, your sanity will gradually erode. If it reaches zero, you will be eliminated from the competition. You can regain your sanity if you find the safe rooms, which are indicated by green lights. You can also reclaim your sanity by using stuff like pills or water bottles.

The backrooms is inspired by the creepypasta/meme that began it all on 4chan in 2018. In the original post, the backrooms were described as "a place where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz," and there were approximately 600 million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. The letter also contained a warning: "God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you."
