Inside the Backrooms · published · build 26283414
Hello backrooms explorers! We are pleased to announce that version 0.8 is here!
This update introduces a PERSISTENT WORLD, allowing you to travel seamlessly between levels without loading screens. It also opens the way to LIGHTS OUT, a new level that will put your sense of direction to the test. It also brings seamless travel between levels, improvements to voice chat and controller support, memory optimizations, and a limited-time event inspired by Día de Muertos.
A new locked gate has appeared inside a dark room in Darkrooms. To open it, you will need to find a tool capable of cutting through padlocks.
Search carefully and return once you have what you need. Beyond the gate lies the entrance to LEVEL #6—and unexpected dangers waiting in the darkness.
A level unlike any other. The absence of light makes even the simplest task an unsettling challenge. With few visual references to rely on, corridors become difficult to recognize, and every turn can lead you further from the path.
Pay attention to your surroundings, stay close to your team, and think carefully before moving deeper into the darkness. Losing your bearings may be easier than finding your way back.
Something special has arrived in the Backrooms for the spooky season.
Take part in a limited-time event inspired by Día de Muertos, bringing a seasonal atmosphere to these familiar, unsettling spaces. Explore, gather your team, and experience the event while it is available.
Travel between levels is now seamless, with no loading screens interrupting your journey. This change helps the Backrooms feel like a connected, persistent world and keeps you immersed as you move from one area to the next.
Voice chat has been improved to make conversations clearer and communication with your team more comfortable.
Controller support has received further improvements to make playing with a gamepad more comfortable. These adjustments refine the overall control experience as you explore and interact with puzzles and UIs.
Memory usage has been optimized to reduce the amount of RAM the game requires during play. These changes help manage the resources used by the game's environments.
Certain characters now move their jaws when you speak through voice chat. This adds a visual detail to conversations, helping your character feel more expressive when communicating with other players.
You can now zoom in while the VHS camera is active by holding the right mouse button. Use it to take a closer look at distant details and inspect your surroundings through the camera.
The Death Rat's AI has been refined, with adjustments to its behavior during gameplay. Keep an eye on your surroundings when exploring its territory, and be ready to adapt when you encounter it.
The fire extinguisher in Darkrooms has been moved to the location where the frame puzzle is.
The number of items available in Parking has been reduced. Supplies will be less plentiful, so pay attention to what you find and consider how you use the resources available to your team.
A new save system has been introduced to handle level progression and player progress. Each player now has a single save file, keeping their progress together under the new system.
Thank you for your continued support and feedback. We look forward to hearing about your experiences with the update.
