## What is The Backrooms experience?

This infinite maze like world can make you insane and no one has ever been able to escape the Backrooms.

Can a super average dude escape this maze what they call "The Backrooms".

In The Backrooms Experience you go through the true horror people go through when they end up in The Backrooms and are desperate to find a way out!

Hide from the so called "Smilers" and try to run from unknown entities that haven' t been discovered yet.

Go through many different stages, from the endless maze, with the buzzing sound and yellow monotone colours, to Swimming pools where something is lurking in the water.

If you hear anything lurking near you, you better don't make any sound or you will be as good as dead!

The mono-yellow, endless background noise of fluorescent lights constantly buzzing, may drive you insane but always watch your back, you don't know what's wandering around!

### 3/5 — MAKE A VOLUME OFF BUTTON

*2026-06-02, version 1.1*

I’m literately shaking right now that’s how loud this is

### 5/5 — It great

*2026-05-10, version 1.1*

This sucks

### 4/5 — A lit too hard

*2026-04-22, version 1.1*

Level ! Is toooooooooooooooo hard

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-03-16, version 1.1*

I know some are easy it’s still a good game

### 4/5 — Ok but

*2026-02-01, version 1.1*

Why to cartoony for me every time I play this game I feel like I’m in luny tunes

### 2/5 — Ok

*2025-11-06, version 1.1*

Not the best backrooms game but I really like the backrooms and I thought this would be a good game but it hard to look around and it’s really really short and the first time I played it I got scared once and then it’s not scary at all and level 0 is bad it just leads you to the exit and needs to have better graphics please improve this game and I will give you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️stars

### 1/5 — Фигня

*2025-07-31, version 1.1*

Неудобное управление и его даже не поменять

### 3/5 — I’m not sure how I feel about this

*2025-07-08, version 1.1*

A linear Backrooms game is a cool concept but I don’t think it works very well with what the Backrooms are meant to be plus the adds at the end of each level

### 5/5 — One of the best games ever

*2025-04-23, version 1.1*

Nothing is wrong with it definitely get this game not scary at all. Super easy.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2025-04-10, version 1.1*

This game is really good. It has lots of potential. One thing you could do to make it better is improving the graphics. Monsters weren’t scary and I was dying on purpose. Next, more levels. When I first got the game and looked at all the levels I thought there were a lot but most were just repeats. This is the only stuff I thought was bad. Also maybe make it so there’s monsters in the backrooms. And if they see you you get chased . That’s all.
