Buy Tidy Up the Backrooms PC key

Tidy Up the Backrooms is an archive-management game set among the Backrooms. You sort recordings about its levels, entities, expeditions and people who entered and never returned, while something else lurks in the archive. You can play solo or co-op.

Sort the tapes

Read each tape’s spine to identify its subject, series and volume, then return it to the right shelf and put it in order. The archive contains 18,678 tapes across 32 subjects and 2,396 shelves. There are six difficulty levels, starting with Internship, which teaches you the basics of managing the archive. Completing shelves earns Managerial Training Credits for upgrades and synergies.

Manage the staff

Hire employees at terminals, read their files and quirks, assign their jobs and set which subjects they should work on first. Keep an eye on stress, which makes them perform worse, and use managerial motivation to make them work faster. Send injured staff to the infirmary. Each tape an employee shelves earns Training Points to upgrade them, and all co-op players can manage the crew.

Listen and learn

Every tape is a voiced article from Backrooms fandom wikis, including international wikis. The game also includes custom O.P.A lore, and the recordings teach you about the Backrooms as you work.

Changing dangers

The Backrooms change often, and its inhabitants are hostile: some whisper, some hunt and some freeze, and all are deadly. An event director combines short- and long-term events, creating a different mix each run. You can invite friends through Steam to manage the archive together.
