Hey,First of all, thank you all for playing my games; it means a lot to me. As I've said before Backrooms: Reminiscence was my last Backrooms title, and that promise holds. I've been working on something really interesting, and I can finally show it to you guys here. A new survival horror game inspired by horror classics, mixed with modern survival horror. The game is Eclipse.Set in August 2017, players follow Jack, a young adult, as he documents abandoned locations with his friends. What begins as a normal episode suddenly turns into a nightmare inside The Holloway Mansion. Something terrifying happens, leaving Jack to survive alone in the mansion and face the horrors. An ancient power, buried deep under the estate, has an incomprehensible power that can twist Jack's mind to the point where you can no longer tell what's real and what's not. Expect a playable teaser very soon...Wishlist…

- Backrooms: Reminiscence - Announcement - 13 May 2025
I'm glad to announce that I have started working on my next game, Backrooms: Reminiscence. It's a sequel to Backrooms: Exploration. The game is going to be focused on 2 main characters: John Sherpardson (AKA the other robber) and William Smith. I plan to add a lot of story and lore to this game as well. It will be my last Backrooms game, and I will make sure it's much better than my previous two games. This game will feature much more than Backrooms: Exploration did. I plan to make almost everything interactable, since it feels the most realistic way to do a good Backrooms game. I'm not sure about entities yet, but I feel like they won't be in a big role in this game. That's it for now, I'll keep you updated throughout the development phase! Go follow me on X for teasers and sneak peeks: HNStudios Official X Thanks for all the support that I've gotten, you keep me motivated!
