About this game
You've seen the backrooms, but not like this.
"Very Scary Backrooms Game" really is a backrooms experience like no other. Journey through liminal spaces while evading strange creatures. Who or what will you encounter? Find your way home...
if you can...
You wake up in an unknown location where everything is familiar, but not quite right. After navigating through this strange space, you will begin to realise that you might not be alone.
You'll hear things running around you.
Inanimate objects will appear to change their positions. Or is it all in your head?
You may even encounter other beings that are reminiscent of parts of yourself, but who knows if they'll help you or hinder you.
Very Scary Backrooms Game features three floors and can be completed in an extremely short amount of time with cunning, practice and healthy dose of luck.
"If you are in danger, run and hide."
WASD to move
Mouse to look
Esc for the menu (be sure to adjust your audio and sensitivity)
On each level, look for anything that could be an exit. Whether it be an elevator or a hole in the floor. Your goal is to get out as quickly as possible.

SECRET CHRISTMAS UPDATE
Way back in November of 2023, I made a secret "Jingle Jam" edition for the annual Yogscast charity drive. However, they didn't end up playing it. So here's how you can access it for yourself! Open the properties for VERY SCARY BACKROOMS GAME in your library. Go into the beta tab. Type in the code: YOGSJINGLECATS and select the new beta option that appears entitled "jingle - Jinglecats edition for YOGS" Enjoy! P.S. Accidentally set this event to the 10th of December and now I can't change it, but you can access this build at any time.Read full article on Community Announcements (Wilboforce)AnnouncementsOfficial
EPIC NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT
My new game, Moaisland, is coming out today at 6PM (GMT). While it's not backrooms themed, it has a similar feeling to VSBG and it's 100% free. A mix of mystery, comedy and general uneasiness. Maybe even the occasional fourth wall break. I've been working on it for quite a while now and it's weird to see it finally finished. I really hope you enjoy it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2861280/Moaisland/ Peace and love ✌️Read full article on Community Announcements (Wilboforce)AnnouncementsOfficial
