The entirety of the game is a thrilling journey in which you must use all of your senses to avoid dangers and find the exit. The Backrooms is a recreation of the 1998 classic game that was inspired by a British actual case that once shook the nation. This game is not appropriate for individuals who are easily terrified. Even though certain minor features have been omitted, the presence of atmosphere and dread contributes to a realistic experience for the player. In addition, in compared to the 1998 edition, this one includes a current 3D design. In addition, the sound and design have been far more sensitive than previously.

Because time is restricted in the backrooms, participants must always monitor the remaining time; otherwise, they will be eliminated from the game when the clock reaches zero.
