Hello All! I have spent the past several months learning about optimization and I'm proud to say that this new patch should show a major increase in performance. I have removed the 30FPS lock and will probably add a button in the future to play with 30FPS (as was the intended frame rate with this game). Patch Notes: -massive increase in FPS -removed nanite and more intensive post processing tha…
There should be an increase in overall FPS for players. Also, I realized that after the previous update the first two monoliths wouldn't work sometimes, so they should be working now. So, you should be able to unlock the secret achievement once again.

Hello! I hope everyone has been enjoying the initial release of The Backrooms: Forsaken. I have a major update for everyone. I have spent the last few weeks making additional content.

Hello! I have officially set in stone a release date that will not be changed. Mark your calendars for March 18th, 2025. I know it's a bummer having to wait another month, but this move was strategic and needed for multiple reasons. 1.) The game is already finished, but this will give me some extra time to test it and make sure I find as many issues as possible. 2.) I wasn't going to implement…
Sorry for the delay again. Last night the game was working and I woke up this morning to upload it and suddenly it won't open. I'm going to spend the next few days debugging it to see if it's recoverable. Luckily, it's backed up and I can use a version from last week. Either way there will be a delay. On the plus side I can have a little more time to polish any issues. I'm really excited to giv…
