Why Early Access?

“Allowing early access before the full release provides me with genuine feedback from the community to further hone in on the vision I have for this game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“My approximation for early access is 3-6 months.”

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

“I plan to add many new levels for the game throughout its development, but would like to add full controller support and support more languages.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game is a co-op or single-player experience with a few levels to begin the story of The Backrooms: Descent.

The Multiplayer experience does include a proximity voice chat for a more immersive experience.”
