What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Because the game is in active development, Early Access is the perfect stage the game can be released at the moment, and potentially expose the game to a larger group of playtesters and additionally give the players a proof of concept before the game becomes fully stable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning into releasing this game after approximately one or two years after the game's early access launch, or probably even earlier.”

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

“The full version is planned to improve all the aspects of the current, Early Access version, while still staying free.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game has simple implementations at the time of writing, there are 10 levels (7 main levels, and 3 sublevels), 3 Entities and 1 Gamemode, but it's planned to gradually add more content.”

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

“Price will not change when we leave early access.”

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

“The game is open-source on GitHub, the community is free to contribute to the game, report bugs, and leave feedback both on GitHub and the Discord Server.”

About This Game

Welcome to Budget Backrooms, a free-to-play game about the Backrooms but on a low budget.
You find yourself in a mysterious place, somehow you noclipped into the Backrooms, you get up, pick up your flashlight and start exploring the corners of the so-called 'Level 0'.

Levels

The levels in this game have a unique and linear layout, you will find plenty of content to explore, easter-eggs and 'Sub-Levels'.

Immersive Atmosphere

Budget Backrooms tries its best to deliver a constant and immersive Backrooms experience throughout the gameplay, from sound effects to modest graphics quality. The game uses binaural audio so playing with headphones is strongly recommended.

Entities

There are currently 3 Entities in this game, but the ones that stand out are The Howler which will chase you if you get too close, and The Smiler killing you if you shine light in his area.

Community Driven

If you want to contribute to the game you can do so by joining the "active" Discord Server or by contributing to the source code on GitHub.
