Creepy adventure game based on the backroom theory
Backrooms of reality is a free puzzle game developed by Reflective Surfaces for PC. It is a first-person adventure title that has players navigate a place with interconnected and seemingly endless rooms. They will need to figure out how to get out of their situation.
Similar to Backrooms or Toiletrooms, Backrooms of reality was designed based on the popular urban legend, The Backrooms, revolving around the idea of an endless maze filled with empty monochromatic rooms. Players will need to overcome the feeling that they are going around circles as they focus on escaping.
Going around in circles
The Backrooms is an urban legend that involves an image of a creepy and empty office space with partitioning, mono-yellow wallpaper, and old carpeting. It seems like a maze of realities that could lead to anywhere or anything. Various games were developed and designed based on it, with some horror elements mixed in for good measure, Backroom of reality is one example of such a game.
One of the first things you’ll notice with Backrooms of reality is its visually impressive graphics despite the empty and minimal presentation that it’s trying to go for. In it, you mysteriously wake up on an empty office floor with no one else around. With only the scattered files and paperwork all over the place to go on, you must now try to figure out how to escape.
You’ll have nothing but moldy carpeting, stained yellow walls, and the constant low buzzing of fluorescent light to add to the atmospheric and creepy vibe. There is also the sinister feeling that you’re being watched and followed by someone or something. All of it culminates in a rather short experience, though. More content is being planned for future updates, so there is plenty to look forward to.
Escape or else
If you’re never played a game based on The Backrooms before, then Backrooms of reality will serve as a nice introduction to the urban legend and phenomenon. It offers a compelling and scary experience, looking sharp and impressive while doing it. Give this one a try and look out for more future updates that will only build upon the solid foundation present here. Highly recommended.
