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?

“Releasing the game in this way allows me to share the experience with players, gather valuable community feedback, and continue shaping and improving the full version throughout development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Planned in a year and a half after the demo release.”

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

“1) A substantially larger world to explore.
2) Up to three independent save slots.
3) Full release may include additional features and improvements inspired by community feedback gathered through the official Discord server whenever technically inasible.
4) Ongoing visual and technical enhancements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version already offers a fully playable experience focused on exploring a vast liminal environment. All of the core features described in the "About This Game" section have already been implemented and are available to players.

The current version contains a substantial portion of the world planned for the full release, featuring multiple explorable areas, secret locations, non-linear exploration, visual effect customization, and all major gameplay systems already in place.

Future development will focus primarily on expanding the map with new areas, secrets, and locations to discover. Additional features and improvements may also be added based on community feedback whenever technically feasible.”

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

“A slight price increase is currently planned when the game leaves Early Access to reflect the additional content and improvements added during development.

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

“Community feedback shared through the official Discord server will help guide future development. Efforts will be made to address technical issues and consider additional features whenever they are deemed necessary and technically feasible.

One of the most interesting aspects of development is the possibility of adding new areas and locations suggested by the community. Suggestions may be based on photographs, designs, renders, or videos, provided that the following requirements are met:

1. Suggestions should be original or based on material that can be freely used and adapted without infringing on the rights of third parties.
2. The content must be technically feasible to implement, as the project is being developed by a single person.
3. The content must be consistent with the game's theme and atmosphere.

Every suggestion is welcome and genuinely appreciated. Although it would be great to include every idea, development time and technical limitations mean that some proposals may not be implemented.”

About This Game

Backrooms.əxə is a liminal experience designed for lovers of liminal spaces. Here, you are free to walk, run, climb, descend, or simply stop and observe as you traverse a gigantic labyrinth of soft carpets and wide rooms. Here, the true challenge lies in the sheer vastness, the isolation, and your own ability to maintain your sanity in the face of endless architecture.

Step into a colossal interpretation of the Backrooms. Satisfy your spirit of exploration by discovering and contemplating the intriguing architectures generated by this dimension, and allow yourself to get lost in the stillness and nostalgia of pathways that lead to an endless array of strange places.

You are home. Stay wherever you wish for as long as you wish. The experience focuses on continuous exploration and a sense of nostalgia for times and places never lived, yet strangely familiar. Your curiosity is the only key capable of revealing what lies hidden beyond every wall. 

No one lives here, but not everything is still...

  • Colossal Scale: Explore a massive environment that challenges human perception of space and distance. Your only rivals are the sheer vastness of the world and the psychology of isolation.

  • Non-Linear Exploration: Forge your own path through an immense network of interconnected architecture. There is no correct route; getting lost is part of the expedition.

  • Experience Customization: Enable or disable a wide range of visual effects to tailor the experience to your ideal atmosphere, whether you prefer a retro, nostalgic aesthetic or a cleaner, more modern presentation.

  • Pure Liminal Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in tranquility, plush carpeting, and the profound nostalgia of an architecture that feels familiar, yet completely deserted and forgotten by time.

  • Many Secret Areas: Careful observation and curiosity are rewarded. The world is filled with hidden passageways, forgotten locations, and unexplored corners waiting to be discovered.

Switch Between First- and Third-Person Perspectives.

Adjust the blur intensity to create your Ideal experience.

Explore the Backrooms as if they were recorded on an old VHS tape, complete with the visual character of an analog recording, or disable the effect for a cleaner and more modern presentation. Two different ways to experience the same endless world.

Take full control of the visual experience. Enable or disable effects such as film grain, chromatic aberration, sharpening, and lens dirt, then create your own unique combination to achieve the perfect atmosphere.
