Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to involve the Backrooms community early in the development of YELLOW. As a liminal horror experience, atmosphere and mechanical balance are key. Early Access allows us to gather vital feedback on entity behavior and level design while we expand the M.E.G. lore and build out the remaining chapters.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect YELLOW to remain in Early Access for roughly 12–18 months. This timeframe is an estimate and may change as development progresses, depending on testing results, feedback from players, and overall production scope”

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

“We plan for the full version to expand upon the current experience. Our development goals include:

- Exploring the possibility of adding more undocumented levels and more complex environments.
- Introducing additional unique entities, potentially with more advanced or varied AI behaviors.
- Further developing the narrative and mystery surrounding the M.E.G. missions.
- Continuing improvements to technical polish, optimization, and overall gameplay fluidity as development progresses.

These plans may evolve over time based on development challenges and player feedback during Early Access.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build (v0.1.1) is a fully playable foundation featuring:

- Four distinct levels: The Lobby, The Yellow Halls, The Dark Rooms, and The Classrooms.
- Unique Mechanics: Each map features its own specific entity type and survival logic.
- Core Systems: A functional save system, polished UI, full settings menu, and immersive voice acting. The core 'inspection' loop is fully implemented and ready for exploration.”

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

“Yes. During Early Access, the game is offered at a lower price to thank early supporters and players who help provide feedback during development. As development progresses and additional content, features, and polish are introduced, we may adjust the price to better reflect the scope of the experience closer to the full release.

Pricing plans may change over time based on development progress and regional considerations.”

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

“Community feedback is the backbone of our development. We will actively engage with players through our Discord server to:

- Identify and resolve bugs or glitches found during playtesting.
- Listen to suggestions for new 'Undocumented' entities and map concepts.
- Refine gameplay mechanics based on player experiences to ensure the final product is as immersive as possible.”

About This Game



YELLOW is a liminal-space survival horror game where you play as a Major Explorer Group (M.E.G.) employee—fully equipped in hazmat gear—assigned to conduct routine inspections of various Backrooms zones and stations. Your task is to investigate newly discovered “Undocumented” entities lurking within these areas. These entities are completely new, with zero information available, so you must uncover their origins and determine why new sections of the Backrooms are appearing.

This game features multiple chapters/levels. In this build (0.1.0), there are four main levels, each with its own unique entity type, mechanics, and behavior:

Levels Available:

  • The Lobby

  • The Yellow Halls

  • The Dark Rooms

  • The Classrooms

  • More Soon!

The game includes a save system, allowing your progress to be preserved whenever you enter a new level, so you can continue anytime you want.

YELLOW is under active development, with new levels planned for every update.

Are you ready to experience a truly unique Backrooms horror experience?
