Backrooms

Whenever you hear the term "horror" in television, movies and gaming, you most likely think about darkness, the unknown, blood and probably some monster. Backrooms abandons all of those common horror cliches and manages to present itself as a game that will manage to get you jumping off of your seat even when all the lights are on and you cans see pretty much everything.

Backrooms is inspired by a creepypasta that has the same name, and it involves you noclipping out of reality . You then wake up in an area where the only thing you can feel is "the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in".

The objective of the game is to find your way out of the backrooms before the times runs out, all while staying undetected by the malevolent forces that don't exactly want you to leave. The environment is made up of nothing but endless piles of empty rooms with fluorescent lights at full hum-buzz, and random sound effects that get horrifying as time progresses without any obvious triggers.

The game advises you that for a "better experience" you should play it with the headphones on. If your idea of a "better experience" involves you randomly getting heart attacks from the scary noises, then by all means go ahead, wear those headphones, and crank the volume to the max while you're at it.

You'll most probably die the first few times you try playing the game, but once you manage to pass it the first time, you'll want to experience the horrors of the Backrooms again and again.
