Game Description

Experience Will's complicated story, unravelling the hidden secrets of his family. Find a way out of the nightmare of liminal spaces by solving challenging puzzles and avoiding dangerous entities — all this awaits you in "Shifting To The Backrooms".

"Shifting To The Backrooms" is a mix of psychological horror and drama game where the protagonist, Will, grappling with family tragedies, discovers the method of "shifting" enabling him to enter dream liminal worlds and escape from his grim reality. However, the dream turns into a nightmare from which Will cannot wake up.

The game will feature:

• More than 15 liminal spaces

• Unique and abstract levels never seen before in Backrooms games

• Non-Euclidean spaces and abstract puzzles

• An intriguing story about shifting and parallel universes

About the Game

Unlike most Backrooms co-op adventures, our game focuses on a single-player story campaign.
We understand multiplayer is fun (and we plan to add co-op mode post-launch), but we aim to deliver something fresh:

• A deep plot with unexpected twists and complex characters.

• No clichéd "yellow corridors" — we’ve reimagined liminal spaces. Their potential is limitless.

Story

The core of the game is Will’s personal journey, not the "spaces." Liminality and Backrooms are just the stage.
Will, a 15-year-old, battles family turmoil tied to his father, mother, sister, and mother's new friend (all revealed in-game). He seeks peace by "shifting" to safe levels, but dreams morph into an inescapable nightmare. Your task: guide Will to wakefulness. Through dreams, you’ll uncover ways to alter reality and secrets that reshape his family’s fate.

Themes explored:

• Shifting, astral projections, transcendental travel

• Oneirokinesis (Can thought influence reality through dreams?)

• Fear of being trapped in the astral plane, a dream, or an alternate reality

• The thin line between sleep and reality

Gameplay

A blend of walking simulator exploration and mind-bending puzzles:

• Navigating non-Euclidean spaces

• Abstract challenges that defy logic

Coming Soon
