Found footage survival horror game The Backrooms 1998 coming to PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch

Publisher Feardemic and developer Steelkrill Studio plan to launch their found footage survival horror game titled “The Backrooms 1998” on platforms such as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch, as well as PC through Steam, once it exits Early Access. The announcement was made by both companies.

As a gaming enthusiast, I eagerly dived into the Early Access version of this game, available on Steam starting May 25th, 2022. Unfortunately, Feardemic hasn’t revealed the release date for the complete version just yet.

Here is an overview of the game, via Feardemic:

About

1998: I, a curious gamer, find myself immersed in “The Backrooms ’98,” a spine-chilling first-person survival horror game that’s all about found footage. This time, I’m not just playing; I’m living the nightmare of a teen who accidentally tumbles into the labyrinthine depths of those eerie, endless storage rooms back in 1998.

Roam freely, mark, explore and try to unravel the story—however you are not alone.

Don’t scream.

Trigger Warning

As a fellow gamer, I’ve got to warn you upfront about this game: it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. It includes some pretty intense stuff – graphic violence, disturbing imagery, jump scares that’ll make your heart race, and a whole lot of horror that’s not for the faint-hearted. So, if you decide to dive in, remember, you do so at your own risk!

Can you escape the backrooms?

Key Features

  • Delve Into the Backrooms – Try to find your way in an unwelcoming maze of the backrooms
  • Stamina System – Don’t lose your breath and keep an eye on your stamina levels. Avoid getting too tired, unless you want the creature to get to you.
  • Leave a Trace – Use your spray gun to mark your path, helping you navigate the backrooms and keep track of the rooms you’ve already explored.
  • Stock Up on Goods – Use the tools scattered around to help you escape this nightmare.
  • Limited Chances – Save yourself by saving your progress in the special ‘safe rooms’. This is your only chance to not be trapped here for eternity.
