Official Release - March 18th

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

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 Achievements, but now this will give me time to try and add them.

3. This date will allow the game to participate in Steam's Next Fest, letting people try the demo and provide more feedback in case there are suggestions that may improve the game.

*** Also, a new demo will be uploaded this week and will have a much better frame rate, bug fixes, and some slight alterations resembling the final product. So, if you had issues before, you may not have them now.

Again, I apologize for this final delay, but I want this experience to be the best it can be.

I appreciate your patience and can't wait to show you my version of the Backrooms.

-Fred Grant

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…Game update29 May 2026Fully Optimized - 30FPS LockThis is a fully optimized version of the game! This specific upload is locked at 30FPS, but I will have a 60FPS option added later today. -I removed Nanite and most lights are now baked. Some visuals have been improved and the game should run smoothly overall. -Note there is a slight bug making the end credits not show up, and I should have that fixed later today as well.
