What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to be able to share this game as a new and fresh backrooms experience then subsequently build onto the game even more after early access release. Full release is coming soon, changing the entire game for the better.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game has been in early access since July 17, 2023.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full release is planned to add, expand and enhance every aspect of the early access. Online mode is no longer going to be a part of full release, but rather a separate application on Steam coming early 2025.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“This current version includes a in-depth story about an expedition into the Backrooms recorded with a VHS camera.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Price will be increased to $11.99 at full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“People in the pgWave Discord server are able to suggest and share all kinds of ideas that I may take into consideration for the full release.”

About This Game

STORY

The Complex: Expedition takes place in 1988. You are a Magwave researcher sent into the Complex with your team to investigate a mysterious situation. When that expedition goes horribly wrong, you are left alone, dazed and lost, wandering the seemingly infinite maze of hallways of The Complex.



This is a psychological horror experience based on the "Backrooms" urban legend. View the world through a VHS camera and follow along a storyline involving an expedition into The Complex.

• Experience an immersive and atmospheric Backrooms experience.

• Explore the mysterious and unforgiving world of The Complex.

NOTE: This game is not connected with Kane Pixels' Backrooms nor the Backrooms Wiki/Fandom, though some parts may be inspired by them.
