0.5 MAJOR UPDATE IS LIVE!

The 0.5 update we've been working on for a long time is finally here! This update includes one of the game's most comprehensive content additions. We've made many changes, from new regions to AI, from new events to bug fixes. Here are all the details:

WHAT'S NEW

Backrooms AI Overhauled

  • The AI system in Backrooms has been overhauled from the ground up. You'll now experience a smarter, more unpredictable, and more terrifying encounter. AI behaviors have been improved, making interactions with players more dynamic.

7 New Regions Added

New Curse Item Events

  • Various new curse item events have been added to the game. Thanks to these events, the in-game experience has become even more unpredictable and exciting. Be careful, every cursed item may come with a price!

BUG FIXES

  • Fixed bugs that caused players to get stuck in certain regions
