Explore the eerie poolrooms and corridors of Backrooms Level 130, where a stalking entity lurks in the shadows, drawn to every sound you make.

A lurking threat

The monster moves unseen through the pipes, waiting for a chance to strike. It hears your footsteps, sees your light, and reacts instantly.

Stay hidden

Avoiding detection is always your best option. Fight only if there’s no other choice.

Scavenge for items that help you survive.

With limited inventory space, you’ll need to prioritize the essentials and choose the right tools to survive.

  • Hostile entity – A terrifying entity hunts you, reacting to your actions.

  • Limited saves – Saving is only available at the hub room, adding risk to your exploration.

  • Semi-open world – Explore interconnected poolrooms and corridors, choosing your own path.
