02Description
In Backrooms: Missing Persons you explore the fates of the lost through a collection of unsettling VHS tapes. Experience their final moments through the warped lens of an old camcorder, piecing together what happened to them.
Explore yellow halls, hear the hum of flickering lights, and uncover fragments of stories that were never meant to be found.
Available tapes
- Office
- Slide Rooms
- Yellow Rooms
- Outside Rooms
The game is inspired by the urban legends of the Backrooms and is entirely our own interpretation of them.
