About Escape the Backrooms

Escape the Backrooms drops you into the unsettling, seemingly endless corridors of the popular Backrooms creepypasta, reimagined as a cooperative horror experience for PC. Drawing on realistic graphics, sparse interfaces, and a heavy, oppressive atmosphere, this indie action-horror game has unnerved a large audience on Steam. Each level presents its own route to escape, along with plenty of dangers standing between you and the exit.

You can venture into the Backrooms alone or bring a team of up to four players, though survival is far from guaranteed. Teammates can no-clip into entirely separate parts of the map, and every member of the group has to reach the exit alive for the escape to count, so the mantra becomes no wanderer left behind. Straying too far from your allies is a fast way to lose yourself in the disorienting sprawl.

Thirty or more unique levels pull directly from Backrooms lore, and each hides hostile entities with their own distinct behaviors, so learning their mechanics quickly is essential to staying alive. Proximity voice chat keeps your team connected, but there's a catch: the creatures can hear you too, making silence your best friend whenever danger draws near.
