About This Game

This is a video game based on the Backrooms mythos, but detached from its lore in order to tell an original story. The game features varied gameplay sections with different creatures and a narrative-focused approach to set itself apart from other games based on these places.

The story begins when the protagonist, Ashen, is informed that something has gone wrong inside the Backrooms. His mission is to enter and locate the remaining agents stationed within.

The game consists of an introductory area followed by three levels that make up Chapter One. The full game is planned to have a total of three chapters.

Each level features a distinct gameplay mechanic:

Level 1: The player must escape from large creatures that chase them through a series of corridors. The idea is to use the environment to avoid crossing paths with these creatures and, if spotted, run away and break their line of sight.

Level 2: The player finds themselves in a completely dark area, where the protagonist acquires a flashlight. They must use it to fend off another type of creature that is vulnerable to light.

Level 3: This level focuses more heavily on stealth. The player must hide among fields of wheat to avoid being detected by human-faced dogs. Being spotted by one of these creatures results in instant death, making remaining unseen the only way to survive.

The duration of this first chapter is around 1 to 2 hours.
