"Born as a more specific branch of the liminal-space genre, The Backrooms is the all-encompassing name for a horror lore bible of sorts that's been handcrafted by communities online over several years. Each inhuman monster and each unnerving location becomes a chapter of a horror universe that the internet built together. It's grown so big that it's spawned dozens of related games, an upcoming horror movie from A24, and what feels like an endless stream of YouTube content to watch."
"Escape The Backrooms is a first-person defenseless horror game for up to four players in co-op. It's been popular as a Steam Early Access title for a few years, but its 1.0 version has finally arrived. In Escape The Backrooms, you'll explore a great number of the internet-created pocket universes of the wider Backrooms lore. Each "room" of The Backrooms presents a different take on liminal horror."
Escape The Backrooms is a first-person, defenseless cooperative horror game for up to four players that compiles many community-created Backrooms locations. The game presents a wide variety of liminal spaces, including the iconic yellow labyrinth, Level Fun, the Poolrooms, and the Grassrooms. The universe combines liminal-space aesthetics with analog horror elements and community-built lore, spawning related games, videos, and a film. Gameplay centers on exploration, flashlight use, and basic survival actions such as consuming found items. The title evolved from Steam Early Access to a 1.0 release and functions like a labyrinthine museum of Backrooms content.
