- I have been spawned - 29 August 2024
Jokes aside i got great news! It’s coming back but it’s a complete makeover and definitely looks better than the current version (the dead and unknown version) So yeah look out for an update this September! Im gonna plan out a few levels and release them then keep updating till I feel it’s complete. Oh about the multiplayer. I don’t know when but that will take a while as well but I’ll start with the basics so I have a base to work on for when the time comes! Monsters.. oh so we love seeing them (joke no one wants them. It’s just there for spooky purposes) Idk when those will appear but I’ll start designing and Modeling those. So first im gonna drop the Remake update then monsters come after.
- final announcement for real. - 22 December 2023
hello everyone.. this game did not recieve any new updates due to the game's project being deleted accidentally and the game soon enough will turn free for everyone to play. if you want a better experience check out the newer games i released! those recieve updates and become better with each update! thank you to everyone who gave support to this game and stuck till it's end
- what's going on? - 5 November 2023
well. im releasing this "new" update as a standalone game since again, Very different from the original game plus it'll release in an early access state for a while and for a good reason. first is because there might be visual glitches or the game is just not in a stable release. updates will drop and i have to say this time i dont think i'd delete the project accidentally or losing it since i have the UE4 Version and can always start again. besides that i feel this game was left out for way too long. longer than secret backrooms 2 which this game is gonna set up for the sequel. who knows what kind of entities will prevail? or would it be just the existential dread of being in an empty space. slowly the levels get bigger in size and there might be a little reference to one of my old games. other than that, be on the lookout for any trailers (idk when but it will happen)
- Secret Backrooms 2023 WITH UE5 LUMEN - 7 September 2023
so since the demo or i guess the itch.io version of the game has ran on unreal engine 4 and not 5 cause of the incapabilities of my laptop. well NO MORE CAUSE I GOT MY GODDAMN PC with RTX 4070 in my pc i could see 0 differences in looks for both RTX hardware accelerated RAY TRACING and unreal's Lumen system. it's basically ray tracing but software based so more pcs without the RTX could run it. i honestly should give you guys a little look at the game from UNREAL ENGINE 5 big difference in that area. obviously i tried with ray tracing and uhh. yeah too much lighting i guess. overall the game is now continuing it's development and so is secret backrooms 2 although im in a position which one i should release first -_- you guys tell me since secret backrooms 2 looks good as well but which do you really prefer?
- Secret Backrooms 2023 Update break next week - 31 August 2023
sup guys! so as you've read the title i'll be taking a break next week mainly because im getting a new PC worth 2000$ i hope you guys understand the reason since it's a new PC and not a LAPTOP (btw for most of you who dont know i made this and my other games on steam using a laptop from 2018 so you know it's quite troubling to make a game while making sure it runs well.) what that means is i'll be able to make the game in Unreal engine 5 now that is fully released and got a new version. this means i'll make the game even more realistic, beautiful and atmospheric! now obviously this doesnt mean i'll keep continuing until i get the PC but more of getting the time to set up the change (well that also means slapping the external drive to the pc and dragging all of the files for UNREAL. im sorry for the inconvenience but a new gameplay screenshot will drop next week when i put it on ue5. it…
- 2023 update in early access soon - 20 August 2023
hello im back from my holiday and i've straight up started with the progress on my game, currently im doing the second and third level for the early access although i feel like that's very little to put in the game so to keep it running i will make an endless survival mode of sorts (or just survival mode again but better) in order to keep you guys with the content till i finish the entire game again. what's also good about this is that i can get feedback while still in development of the 2023 update, just keep in mind everything has switched to UE4 for the time being and also the VHS look will remain for the rest of the 2023 update. there's no current setting for the VHS Look to be removed if a certain group of people dont like it. overall i should also work on the monster model which is like umm... 40-50%? somewhere in that range since i need to do T E X T U R E S and yes that includes…
- Secret backrooms 2023 Update coming soon - 13 August 2023
Hello guys! I’m well aware of the issues the game has at the moment and I’d like to thank you all for the reviews because that will determine how i will end up making better games for everyone and improve in quality. As for the current status of the mess I’ve made (which is this game and the fact that the project file is gone) I’ve recreated the game in a new.. VHS style look suitable for any that prefer that kind of thing and luckily i do have footage of the new update (keep in mind in the video it’s called secret backrooms 2023 edition and not update since it was meant to be a remastered version of the game.) Currently i have made some progress in the game but just to make sure things go well the game will be tested on steam which means going back to early access
- Last secret backrooms news for a while - 3 June 2023
Sounds exaggerated but it’s not, hop onto the secret backrooms 2 for more information over there! I’ll drop a new announcement there soon https://store.steampowered.com/app/2394940/Secret_Backrooms_2/ This is to keep the game relevant to the first game only and the other for that only Sounds odd but hey while you’re at it why not whishlist it until I put out a trailer when it’s at that stage oh and the trailer usually is like done in the middle of the development to show off what’s new and what levels there are So if you see a new trailer besides the one on the page it means it’s coming real soon
- Secret backrooms 2 on its way - 16 April 2023
Lads, the game is like. 35% done. And with some gameplay recorded from the prologue levels all the way to level 2 the game takes about 15 minutes. Already surpassing this game's overall playtime goddamn. Anyway I'd like to say that the steam Page for the sequel Will be up soon so keep an eye out for the next upcoming week. If you have any suggestions or ideas specifically for the sequel I'd like to discuss it with all of you guys! Currently I'm set on level 3 which is the closest to a crimson forest. I've made it more apparent for a path but I don't know if it's better to expand the level/ terrain since it's kinda small. Also a cabin much like an older game I've made would make the game Quite different from the already established backrooms games. In this sequel its just being unique while keeping the theme of the backrooms levels like level 0 for the yellowy asthetic. Anyway post your…
- Secret backrooms is discontinued? - 22 March 2023
So. There's a thing going around that people are commenting on my trailer videos for the sequel and I want you guys to be clear and come fourth. This game has officially been announced to be discontinued for many reasons including the fact that the project file is deleted Well it is the main reason since how am I supposed to update the game when I don't have the files for it? The reason I'm posting this for the reason of the game being discontinued is really clear from the lack of updates.
- Sequel to the game - 30 December 2022
Yep, you read that right, secret backrooms 2 is official. It's coming soon. Just an announcement, nothing too extreme. Oh and I might make it open world type game. Leveling up system? Maybe but I doubt it. Main hub? Yep, straight from the original concept of the first game. Different monsters? Perhaps, worth a shot. BETTER AI? fuck yes I'm willing to make them advanced. They'll be able to hear your footsteps especially when running. Maybe sprint really fast when seen. Maybe just normal AI that doesn't hear your footsteps. All of these are just ideas and the most common one Will be to hear you. Beware of your surroundings~ You can also teleport backrooms style (glitching ofc) I'll experiment the semi-open world type instead of fully open world since you won't be in a big area but rather explore a base which I said is the main hub. You get to unlock different sections of the game by doing…
- 2.0 screenshots - 29 November 2022

- About the 2.0 version and the current status of secret backrooms. - 28 November 2022
Yo, I am once again posting this to get a little insight on the game's update. Tomorrow I'll be working my way through finishing level 2 and one more if I can squeeze my time into it then dropping the release of the brand new version just so you guys can get a glimpse of what it has to offer. As of now you all might be aware that the UI and the mechanics are different. I am using unreal engine 4 and not 5 due to some performance issues (cause I don't have a pc but a crappy laptop that runs the game just fine.) stamina, battery and fear do a great combination alongside the level design of each level. There will be dark areas that raise the fear meter and the flashlight won't do justice. You'll never know who's behind the shadows or even behind you. My goal is to make it more scary and stressful than it was before. Making it less confusing and more so terrifying to roam around the levels.…
- The truth about the game. - 26 November 2022
Hello, I'm coming forward to everyone to say a few things that happen behind the scenes And to tell everyone what is going on as of lately. I've been quite busy with another game of mine called hypersense which is a fast paced platformer. You can check it out if you want, it's there if you want to also just play until 2.0 comes out. Secret backrooms lacks a bunch of stuff that really could shine its full potential Many have said there's potential to this game. And what I'm doing right now is kinda unneceptable. Because I'm working on a different game and then like work on this game. Secret backrooms may get the biggest update with an overhaul but i believe that whatever direction this game is headed to is a good one and i hope it stays. I mean seriously, having a fear meter, stamina, limited battery and the fact that. There's monsters just to increase your fear would just be insane to t…
- Secret backrooms 2.0 demo - 11 September 2022
Hello, I’ve come fourth to inform you all that a demo will be available or perhaps an early access version of the new update. Perhaps a new edition of the game. Few levels will be included with the prologue that im planning on making. Perhaps this would be a great idea for a fresh new game that no one expected. A better overhaul? Maybe. Up to you guys. Here’s a little screenshot https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/994183250836738102/1017099507990806568/sc1v2.PNG
- bad news.. - 29 August 2022
i've got some REALLY bad news and i mean it does happen at times but i didnt expect this game though. i've found out that the project file was deleted. that means months of work has been all for nothing. dont worry though. that means i'll make it bigger and better! it'll still be a version, just... a massive overhaul i guess. levels that were less interesting become more interesting and unique, cutscenes too! enhanced edition could be more than this game than i expected. i guess y'all gotta wait for a couple of weeks.
- Secret backrooms final update? - 27 August 2022
Heyo! I’ll have to make an update that will help out the game being more complete and also Some bad news to those who wish for a multiplayer. Let’s get the bad news out the way first: I’ll be removing entirely the multiplayer aspect of the game until it’s fully working but for now the game will stay single player. The good stuff now begins!: -New secret levels will be added! -Few level changes will be made Stay tuned for the enhanced edition details! One thing I’ll say though is that the enhanced edition will come out early-mid 2023
