What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Hello, this is the developer of Backroom Company.

With the current version, you and your friends, family, or colleagues can already have a great time playing together. However, we are preparing even more content and features. We plan to add classic Backroom environments like the swimming pool, sewers, parking lot, etc., along with creatures that match each enviroment, and even an ending to break away from repetitive gameplay.

We eagerly await your valuable feedback, which will help us refine and perfect the game. We’re committed to creating the best experience together with you. Thank you.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our journey through Early Access begins on October 14th (KST), and we’re aiming for a magical full release on December 25th—just in time for Christmas! We hope you'll join us in this adventure, and we can't wait to celebrate the full launch with you. Thank you for your patience and excitement as we work to make the final version truly special!

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

“The full version will include several significant expansions to the current content. We plan to add new maps such as "Sewers" and "hidden stage" that unlocks the game’s ending. Additionally, various achievements will be introduced to provide players with a more immersive and rewarding experience.

We are also focusing on enhancing the game’s stability, ensuring that all players can enjoy the game in the best possible environment. Alongside these improvements, we plan to support additional languages beyond Korean, Japanese, and English, making the game more accessible to a global audience.

Moreover, we will be adding support for controllers and Steam Deck, allowing more players to enjoy the game across different platforms. With all these updates, the full version will offer a more complete and polished experience compared to the Early Access version.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of 'Backroom Company' is approximately 50% complete, offering a solid foundation of the core gameplay experience. Players can already immerse themselves in several key features, including cooperative multiplayer with up to 8 players, the dynamic modular random room generation system, and the intense survival mechanics against a variety of creatures.

At this stage, the game includes fully functional systems such as voice chat, item farming, and creature AI, providing players with a thrilling and immersive experience. However, there are still areas under active development, including additional content, creature varieties, and further refinement of game balance.

While the game is stable and provides an engaging experience, players may encounter some bugs and performance issues, which we are diligently working to address. Regular updates will continue to introduce new features, polish existing mechanics, and expand the game's content as we progress towards the full release.”

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

The price of the game is not expected to change after Early Access ends. Therefore, you can continue to purchase it at the current price. Additionally, while our game supports up to 8 players, it truly shines in 4-player sessions. With this in mind, we are planning various promotions, such as a 3+1 offer, so be sure to invite your friends to play together!”

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

“We actively engage with our community across various platforms, incorporating their feedback to continuously improve our game.

  • Discord: We regularly upload major update notes to our Discord server, which serves as a primary hub for direct communication with our community. This platform allows players to freely share their opinions and participate in discussions, helping us to integrate their feedback into the development process.

  • YouTube: We frequently post game-related videos, in-game footage, and shorts on our YouTube channel to keep players visually informed about our progress. This not only allows the community to follow the development journey but also builds excitement for the game.

  • Reddit & X: We utilize our official Twitter account to retweet content from the Backrooms Twitter, and we engage in discussions on Reddit to further connect with our community. These platforms help us reach a broader audience, encouraging more players to participate and provide feedback during the development process.

Through these channels, we continuously gather feedback from our community and integrate it into our development, ensuring that their voices play a critical role in enhancing the quality of the game. We believe that strong communication with our players is essential to creating a better gaming experience, and we are committed to maintaining and strengthening these interactions.”

Backroom Company specializes in studying a supernatural phenomenon known as 'Noclip,' which creates randomly connected backrooms. No one knows who founded this company or why it was created. Many hired explorers have lost their way in these labyrinthine spaces and disappeared for unknown reasons. As players, you must track the traces left by previous expeditions and collect bizarre items found only in the Backrooms. Your ultimate goal is to send these items to the dumbwaiter in the main control room.

You must avoid entities in the Backrooms and farm and sell items to achieve your target amount. Up to 8 players can cooperate in play. Surviving and collaborating in areas filled with dangerous entities and traps are essential. You may take on tasks such as selling items or luring and defeating entities. Venturing alone can be risky at times, so maintain good communication with each other. Confident explorers can also try solo challenges.

In the main control room, you can buy and sell items. Make sure you have a gun or recovery drink ready before you head out on an expedition. You cannot carry many items, so you must choose carefully. When you select a stage in the main control room, the tightly closed iron door will open, and the exploration will begin. When the iron door opens, the control room will no longer be safe, so be careful. Even if you sacrifice yourself and die, if your teammates reach the target amount, you can escape the room with the team. If the target amount is not met more than three times, the main control room will no longer operate, and the stage will end.

Make good use of your walkie-talkie to communicate with your teammates. If you move away from your teammates, the walkie-talkie signal may be lost. Even a seriously injured teammate can provide aid to others in the control room. When Cable Tie, a black bacterium appears, run away quickly without looking back. It is incredibly fast and cannot be killed. If there is a locker room nearby, hide there. Hiding in the locker room is the only way you can survive. When the deformed-headed parasite appears, do not make any sound, not even footsteps or breathing. They cannot see us because they have no eyes, but they can detect us through sound. Fortunately, you can evade their attacks with your excellent physical abilities.

Good luck to all explorers.

Oh, and one more thing, no matter how angry you get, do not kill your teammates.
