Backrooms Adventure

Backrooms Adventure begins when you fall through the pavement on your way home and wake up in a mildew-smelling room with yellow wallpaper and a humming fluorescent light. Every door leads to another version of the same room. You explore the Backrooms, follow clues left by someone who came before you and try to find out how far they got.

Explore the rooms

The first floor rearranges itself with every new save. You have no map; an old M.E.G. field unit points roughly in the right direction, but you must use your eyes to find the way when it indicates you are close. You also follow the device to solve puzzles.

Hide from what lives there

You cannot fight the creatures, but you can hide from them. A smiling face watches from the dark, while things between the shelves walk almost like people. Find places to hide, use your flashlight carefully and move quietly. Most of the creatures are not in a hurry to kill you; they want you to stay.

Supplies and difficulty

Supply tables, hurried notes and directions left by the previous visitor can help you make progress. Drink almond water when you find it, and avoid staring too long at things that should not be there: doing so costs more than you think. The game has four difficulty levels, from Novice to Nightmare, where one death ends the run.
