About this game
Make your way through disturbing and eeire levels from the backrooms lore. Each level has unique objectives, optional objectives and resources. Bring whatever you get your hands on back to Traders Keep in The Hub or use your resources to craft new gear and equipment.
Procedural Generation
The Metro brings explorers to random unknown levels with unknown threats. The possibilities are nearly endless.
Use your "Journal" to document your findings in these levels. The M.E.G finds great value in accurate documentation.
Entities
There are multiple different entities you can encounter, they're all unique but have one thing in common, they do not make great friends. Beware and listen closely for any noise out of the ordinary. Save your stamina, because you're gonna need every last breath.
Defense
Some entities have weaknesses you can exploit to make an escape
Immersion
Large nonlinear levels with realistic graphics, eerie sounds from unknown sources and proximity voicechat with dynamic reverb will give you an immersive experience to write home about.
Co-op
Start your journey all alone or with a group of up to 8 players. Help eachother traverse the unknown and gather what you need to strive and survive in the backrooms.
The Hub
The Hub is your safe space, it's a seemingly infinite subterranean highway tunnel, wich has a direct connection to all levels in the form of evenly spaced doors along the walls of the tunnel. The Hub also has a permanently open door leading straight into Traders Keep, where you can trade and get contracts.
Loot, trade and craft
Scavenge each level for resources, valuables and gear. Some loot is level specific. You can use specific resources to craft certain gear to make your time in the backrooms a bit easier. You can make money by selling loot to vendors in Traders Keep and by completing contracts you get from a M.E.G operative, also in Traders Keep.
Sanity
Entities and other sources can cause your sanity to crumble, keep your sanity high by drinking almond water to withstand enitity attacks and other harmful elements.

Backrooms Society - 0.6.91
Backrooms Society - 0.6.91Hello everyone! It has been 3 years since the early access launch of Backrooms Society. I want to thank all of you and celebrate the progress the game has made since its release back in 2023. What better way to celebrate than with how we in Sweden celebrate this time of year, with Midsummer.• Strange Maypoles have begun appearing across all levels. Chop them down and bring Midsummer offerings to the large Maypole in The Hub in exchange for one of six new anniversary and Midsummer-themed cosmetics. • Added new and improved match-burning effects.• Improved hiding spots in Level 2.6 Planned Expedition. Entities will no longer be able to see or hear players once they enter a hidey hole, making them less likely to remain outside the hiding spot for extended periods of time.Read full article on Community Announcements ([NaG]Mickbi)AnnouncementsOfficial

Backrooms Society 0.6.81
Backrooms Society - 0.6.81• Added an alternate crouch/slide key (Default key "C") - In case you prefer to keep sprint on "Hold" and crouch bound to "Ctrl" it can make sliding a bit difficult since you need to be sprinting to trigger a slide by crouching.• Fixed incorrect info prompts for the new options added in v0.6.8If you already had your crouch key changed to "C" you might have to adjust or reset your keybinds.Read full article on Community Announcements ([NaG]Mickbi)AnnouncementsOfficial
