About Inside the Backrooms
Inside the Backrooms is an online co-op horror game for up to four players. You explore the Backrooms, solve puzzles and search for supplies as you try to escape through its different levels. The rooms are identical, with old, dirty carpets and pale yellowish walls, and the further you go, the more dangerous the place becomes.
Explore the Backrooms
Search rooms for items that help you progress, interact with the environment and unlock new areas. The game has five large levels, each designed to be more difficult than the previous one, with its own puzzles and mechanics. Two secret mini-levels lead to a secret ending.
The game draws on the Backrooms creepypasta, including its entities and other recognizable elements. Six entities are currently present, each with different ways of attacking and appearing. Learn their behavior and how to avoid them; being found by several at once puts you in danger.
Solve puzzles
Puzzles range from simple to complex and can be solved alone or cooperatively. Their solutions change with each new game, so the answers are not always the same.
Items and survival
You collect supplies and manage them in a limited inventory. Running short of essential items can mean death. Items include:
- Almond Water: restores part of your health.
- Pills: reduce anxiety.
- Radios: let your team communicate over a distance.
- Flashlight: helps you see in dark areas.
- Protection Suit: prevents radiation exposure in some areas.
- Documents and notes: provide relevant information.
Co-op systems
Proximity voice chat lets you talk to nearby teammates, but entities may hear you. You have limited stamina to manage, which can help you escape when an entity is close. Seeing an entity raises your anxiety, causing fear and impaired visibility. You can also respawn up to three times.
