Small Texture Fix and Note From DevFixed issues with oversight in some textures.
Developer Note: This will likely be my last update to this game. I have loved wokring on it and have really appreciated all of the support it's gotten and how the community has grown. When I set out to create this game I noticed that all backrooms games generally followed the same flow. Survive enemies, solve small puzzles, and wander the same few visually uninteresting levels. I felt that the fundamental idea of the Backrooms had been abandoned, the alluring and unnerving liminality and mystery of the enviornment. So with very little development experience and going into my last year of high school I decied to make the Backrooms game that I wanted to play out of love for the community. I'm glad it's found it's own little place in the liminal community and thank you all for playing my game!
P.S. Look out for news on my upcoming project on discord

[ 2023-11-15 17:49:09 CET ] [ Original post ] Within the Backrooms Expansion Update!Hey everyone! It's been a while but there will be a new content update today! It will include a new main level The Museum, which is a bit smaller but full of lots of fun things and two new tracks from the incredible eze, as well as multiple more sub-levels that invite new ways to explore the game. There will be a short week-long sale to promote the update as well, so for those of you that have it in your wishlist now would be prime time to check it out. I hope you all enjoy and thank you for supporting my work!

- Patched bugs
I'm sure as you've all seen I've been putting out small updates frequently to patch bugs. I hope this is not a bother and that I have fixed most of the one's that were present at launch. If you find any more please reach out to me through the discord! You should just join the discord anyways we're cool people (check on the store page for the link!). Also, speaking of the store page, it would really help me out if you leave a review! The amount of reviews an indie game gets on launch can mean life or death for the game so leaving a review, even a simple one, helps out a ton! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the game!

[ 2023-01-14 00:58:32 CET ] [ Original post ] The Game
Within the Backrooms is a liminal exploration game with light puzzle elements. Use tools you find and mysterious floppy disks to traverse the world, uncover the secrets of the Backrooms, and find out why you're here. Try not to get lost in the winding maze of the Lobby, explore the abandoned and decrepit Mall, relive childhood memories in the unsettling Playground, and experience sublimity in the placid, yet haunting, Pool.
The World
Explore a vast world of liminal spaces. Providing an uncanny nostalgia where reality isn't quite the same. Featuring 4 unique and diverse main floors and many different-sub floors to find, there's secrets lurking around every corner. Given nothing, you must be adventurous and clever. Question everything you see and trust nothing they say.
The Graphics
Within the Backrooms pays homage to a time where edges were jagged and textures pixelate from afar. The game replicates the style of the PS1 era and plays in the same aspect ratio.
