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 chose Early Access because we want the game to grow with its players rather than completing everything behind closed doors. This approach lets us test ideas quickly, gather real reactions, and fine-tune the experience based on what the community actually enjoys.
Instead of spending years building every system and area before showing anything, we prefer to release content step by step and shape the game in collaboration with our players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 6–12 months. During this period, we will be adding new content, improving existing systems, and refining gameplay based on community feedback. Although development timelines may shift, our current goal is to release the full version around Q3 2027.”

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

“We plan to add more content, additional levels, new enemies/abilities, improved AI, better performance, and overall polish. We also plan to add new game modes and expand existing systems based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes the core gameplay, initial levels, basic progression systems, and all essential features needed to play. It is functional and enjoyable, but still missing content, polish, and balancing that will be added over time.”

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

“We plan to adjust the price gradually as we expand the game with new content and features. Players who join early will be supporting development from the start and will benefit from a lower price point.”

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

“We want players to feel like they’re part of the project. We’ll be collecting feedback on our Steam discussions and our Discord server, paying close attention to what players find fun, frustrating, or inspiring.
Suggestions, votes, and conversations will help guide what we prioritize as the game grows.”

About This Game

In this atmospheric psychological horror experience, you awaken in the liminal expanse known only as the Backrooms. Welcome to the Backrooms: a place outside of time and space. It’s a game with real depth, with an adventure mode and a range of social game modes.

Go alone or bring up to 5 friends (1-6 players). Stay close and talk over cross-platform proximity voice chat. And yes, your hazmat suit has exactly one very serious emote.

Built in Unreal Engine 5, the Backrooms look and sound like the stories you’ve heard. It all starts in Level 0, and every level gets stranger the deeper you go.

You’re not alone down here. Entities roam the levels, and each one is a threat of its own. Watch, listen and keep moving.

Every level has more than one exit, and each one leads to a different level. Every path you take leads to a different experience, so no two runs play out the same.

Build your own levels with the in-game editor and publish them on Steam Workshop, or play levels and game modes made by the Backrooms community. Anyone can contribute, so there’s always something new to play.

Just want to unwind? Grab your friends and jump into Sandbox mode for party games.
