Backrooms Expeditions is a first-person exploration game set in an endless maze of yellow-lit corridors and forgotten structures. The player takes on the role of an investigator sent to explore and document strange, shifting spaces known as the backrooms. With no map, little guidance, and an eerie stillness throughout, the objective is to survive long enough to uncover the hidden logic of this place. Exploration is slow, deliberate, and often interrupted by strange phenomena.
A Place That Doesn’t Want to Be Understood
Unlike traditional maze games, Backrooms Expeditions changes as you move. Hallways loop back on themselves, familiar areas shift slightly, and some doors disappear entirely. The deeper you travel, the more disoriented you become. Visual cues, environmental sound, and cryptic objects offer the only clues to direction and purpose. Every level of the backrooms introduces new elements—from flooded basements to office-like zones—with increasing unpredictability.
Tools and Elements That Define the Journey

Uncovering Layers of the Unknown
While danger is not always immediate, the pressure comes from the subtle shifts in the world and the player’s own uncertainty. Sometimes you hear footsteps, other times whispers, but rarely is anything visible. It creates a constant sense of tension. Notes scattered throughout give glimpses into past expeditions, suggesting that others were here and met unknown ends. There’s no combat—only the need to observe, document, and move carefully through the layers.
It invites players to question what’s real and what’s illusion, challenging them to trust their memory and instincts. With every corridor that looks familiar and every space that seems too quiet, the game draws you deeper into a maze that reflects confusion itself. It’s a quiet descent into a space between places, where logic breaks down and only your attention keeps you moving forward.
