The Backroom Project

The Backroom Project is a horror game set in the Backrooms, a seemingly infinite, non-linear space entered by slipping out of normal reality. Scientists have found a way to send people there and recruit civilians for their experiments. You are sent in and find yourself alone.

The Backrooms

Level 0 consists of rooms with yellowed wallpaper, damp carpeting, electrical outlets and inconsistently placed fluorescent lights. The rooms share these features, but no two are identical. Space behaves unpredictably: walking in a straight line can bring you back to where you started, but into a different set of rooms.

Explore alone

You explore with a camera and a pedometer. The game warns you not to rely on memorizing the rooms or the route you took. As the yellow walls and the sound of the lamps wear on you, you begin to wonder whether you are truly alone, or whether the feeling is in your mind.
