Why Early Access?

“I want players to help shape the game. The Backrooms are infinite, which means there’s plenty of room for creativity. Player feedback will guide future development, influencing things like:

New types of levels

Entities with unique mechanics

Objectives, puzzles, and progression systems”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect Backrooms: The Familiar Place to remain in Early Access for around 12 to 18 months, though this may change depending on how much content we create and the support from the community.”

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

“Our goal for the final version is to add more content and features. We plan to:

Explore a wider variety of levels with unique mechanics

Develop additional entities with distinct behaviors

Introduce puzzles, exploration, and objectives beyond simple navigation

Incorporate community-inspired or community-created content

Early Access allows players to experience the foundation of the game and actively participate in shaping its evolution.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of Backrooms: The Familiar Place includes three playable levels, each with:

Initial objectives and guidance

Puzzles and exploration mechanics

Entities to avoid or face

Keys and objects needed for progression

While there’s still much to add, you can already explore the game’s atmosphere, solve challenges, and see how the project evolves.”

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

“No. The price of Backrooms: The Familiar Place will remain the same during Early Access and after full release.”

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

“Community input is central to development. We plan to involve players by:

Gathering ideas and suggestions for new levels, entities, and mechanics via Steam forums and Discord

Collecting feedback on puzzles, difficulty, and atmosphere to refine gameplay

Providing regular updates based on community preferences (frequency may vary)

Hosting surveys and polls to help prioritize future content

Our intention is for the game to reflect both our vision and the creativity of its community.”
