Backrooms: Forbidden Footage

About Backrooms: Forbidden Footage

Backrooms: Forbidden Footage drops you into a backrooms experience where every decision shapes what happens next. Each game presents a different door to find, and locating it moves you forward to new levels. There is only one escape route — all other outcomes end badly. Several scenes show walls covered in light-green wallpaper with a repeating vertical chevron pattern. In one scene, multiple dark humanoid figures wearing high-heeled shoes stand in a dimly lit hallway. Another moment places two wooden crates and two upholstered armchairs in a large open space.

Creatures roam these corridors. Some may appear harmless, but the game makes no promises about any of them. Stay careful and keep your distance.

How to Play Backrooms: Forbidden Footage

Each run tasks you with locating the single correct door among many. Finding it advances you to the next level; every other choice ends badly. Creatures are present throughout, and caution around them is essential — appearances can be deceiving.

Running is an option when things get dangerous, but it drains your stamina. Once you tire yourself out, you'll not be able to run again for a while, so use that ability carefully.

Games You Might Like

If the tense, one-wrong-move pressure of Backrooms: Forbidden Footage appeals to you, Night Shift delivers a similar dread — you play a night guard who must verify every visitor at the door, hunting contradictions in passports, belongings, and behavior before an impostor slips through. For something in a completely different register, Piece of Cake: Merge & Bake pairs puzzle-solving with café management in a relaxed mansion setting, a good change of pace after a few harrowing runs through the backrooms.
