Europe, 2024 – Steelkrill Studio and Feardemic Launching The Backrooms 1998 on Consoles in less than two days.
Are you ready to step into the nightmare? The Backrooms 1998, the spine-chilling survival horror experience, is creeping onto PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and Nintendo Switch on February 20, 2025. Inspired by the viral lore of the Backrooms, this game thrusts you into an eerie labyrinth of seemingly endless, decayed hallways where something sinister lurks in the shadows.
In The Backrooms 1998, after a skateboarding incident you awaken trapped in a horrifying, maze-like environment with only one goal - escape. To survive, you must navigate the dimly lit corridors, scrawling messages on the walls to retrace your steps while solving chilling objectives. But beware—the deeper you go, the more you’ll realize that you’re not alone. A relentless, otherworldly entity is stalking you, drawn to your every move. Make too much noise, and it will find you. It can hear you.
The Backrooms 1998 won the gold award in the NYX 2023 and came second place in the horror genre here.
With an immersive first-person perspective, The Backrooms 1998 features:
- Hyper-realistic sound design – The game utilizes 3D audio and microphone integration on PC, meaning that even your real-life breathing and whispers could lure the entity closer.
- Terrifying AI mechanics – The monster isn’t just a mindless chaser—it learns and adapts, making every encounter unpredictable.
- Environmental storytelling – Explore the decrepit rooms and uncover disturbing notes, VHS tapes, and hidden messages that reveal a deep, unsettling mystery.
- Psychological horror elements – Experience hallucinations, flickering lights, and distorted reality as fear takes hold.
- Draw on walls to keep track – In the game you can use your spray can that you find in order to draw on walls to keep track on which way you came from.
Every step, every scribbled clue, every heartbeat matters. The walls hold secrets, and the only way out is through the darkness. Do you have what it takes to escape before the entity catches you?
Prepare yourself for The Backrooms 1998, launching February 20, 2025. Will you make it out, or will you become just another lost soul in the void?
Enter if you dare—but remember, don’t look back…
