Lost in the Backrooms
A downloadable game for Windows
Quick Note: I appreciate all the feedback I got from people about this game and things that can be improved. Unfortunately it is impossible for me to ever work on this game again because the project got corrupted (meaning most of the data is actually gone) in a stupid backup accident.
What is this about?
You have somehow managed to clip into the Backrooms, an endless labyrinth of empty and similar looking rooms designed to lure you deeper into this mysterious space.
Some advice:
This game is best played with headphones and in a dark room (you know, the usual horror game environment).
There is no saving in this game! If you decide to end the game midway you'll have to start over. It only takes about 15-20 minutes to complete it though.
Controls:
WASD to walk around.
Move the mouse to look around.
Left Mouse Button to interact.
What I want you to know:
This game was created for the Haunted PS1 Summer-Spooks Gamejam in a matter of 30 days. There are a lot of other awesome entries, so please go check them out here: https://itch.io/jam/the-haunted-ps1-summer-spooks/entries
This game is inspired by a weird internet story by the name of "The Backrooms". There is a whole wiki containing lots of information about this story and it's also where I got some of my inspiration from.
I want to thank Greg Elperin and Jeff Kekenj (@AskeGuitar92) for helping me find ideas for this project and writing the story.

Enjoyed your Backrooms game, felt like an exploratory journey besides the standard maze. I really like the design of the labyrinth, very artistic and unpredictable, felt abandoned and forgotten by time :)
Man this game is so good and so scary in the same time, i played with my friends on discord and was really cool. Nice work with this game 100/10.
It was actually the best horror game I've ever played.well done !

So the files got corrupted.. almost like something..I mean someone didn't want you continuing work on it. How odd.
Your take on the backrooms has got to be the creepiest I've seen.
Loved your game also I made a video.
Is a very good game, but I encountered problems after downloading!
I have nothing to say but enjoy this video thx bye
Screenshots are giving me Bendy and The Ink Machine vibes, maybe i will download
edit: sounds made me so scared that i clicked alt + F4, cool game.
Liked this game quite a bit! I'm happy that I never actually got too lost even though I had no idea where I was going, and I don't know if that's how you programmed it or if I just got really lucky!
Great game!
Loved the journey of exploring through the backrooms while collecting tapes that tell you the experience of someone else, among other creatures. Good design on new paths gradually opening, it makes it seem more fluid and nails the feeling of being inside someplace that may be alive. Thank you for making this!
Oh wow! This game had me on edge the entire game play! The graphics are new to me, but it was still very exciting.Game here:

I like the game! I thought this was a really cool backrooms-style game! I was constantly scared while playing as the atmosphere and sounds kept giving off this unsettling vibe.
That's epic. 5/5
Good game, 10/10!!
