Backrooms Assault

Played: 70 times

Description:

Something is hunting you through endless identical hallways, and the only color breaks in the walls are the green exit signs you're desperate to find. That's the setup in Backrooms Assault, a shooting game where you wake up alone in the backrooms with figures in hazmat suits closing in fast.

You start with nothing but a pistol and a pickaxe, which is not much against enemies that spawn in packs of three and never stop searching for you. As you clear levels and push toward each marked exit, you unlock stronger weapons, but your health and ammo never refill, so every fight actually costs you something.

The building itself works against you too. There's no safe room, no checkpoint to hide behind, just corridor after corridor of the same unsettling decor, and the green signs scattered around are your only real clue that you're headed the right way out.

🎮️ How to play

You'll move through the backrooms using mouse and keyboard, and precision matters more than speed.

Move the cursor to look and aim.
Left mouse button to fire.
Right mouse button to turn on your flashlight.
W or the up arrow to move forward, S or down arrow to move back.
A or left arrow to strafe left, D or right arrow to strafe right.
Mousewheel or number keys to cycle weapons.
R to reload.
C to crouch.
Spacebar to jump.
Shift to sprint.

Backrooms Assault also runs in mobile browsers, letting you play on a phone or tablet with touch controls built around these same actions.

As a first person shooter, Backrooms Assault leans hard into atmosphere over spectacle. Your only real goal on each level is reaching the marked exit while your score climbs with every enemy you take down, and your health and ammo counters in the corners of the screen remind you how little room for error you actually have.

The visuals stick to dim, distorted lighting and bare, repetitive rooms that make the whole place feel wrong on purpose. Sound carries a lot of the tension too, with your own footsteps and distant shuffling from the hazmat crew often being the only warning you get before a fight starts.

🧠 Tips & tricks

Aim for headshots so your limited ammo lasts longer.
Keep your distance from hazmat enemies, since they usually attack in groups of three.
Check behind you often, they can close in from angles you're not watching.
Follow the green signs closely, they're the most reliable way to find the exit.
Reload during quiet moments rather than mid-fight, when you can't afford the pause.

Grab a pistol, keep your flashlight ready, and see how far you can push through the backrooms before your ammo runs dry. Every escape route is different, so the run that gets you out this time might not save you the next.
