Unreal Engine 5 is a state-of-the-art engine and editor with photorealistic rendering, dynamic physics and effects, lifelike animation, robust data translation, and much more-on an open, extensible platform that won't tie you down.
The Backrooms is an urban legend and creepy pasta that tells the tale of an endless maze of randomly generated office rooms. It is characterized by the smell of wet carpet, walls with a monochromatic tone of yellow, and buzzing fluorescent lights.

I think that you don't need a environment artist. You are making this game look very good.

[@russellzauner]

yeah, I would use noclip/boundary errors procedurally shovel your character to a random level...the whole concept is powered by glitches in reality so when your rendering brings up glitches that may cause errors, just have the errors dump you to a reset at the start or in the middle of another or the same level even.

[@jager5751]

This needs to be multiplayer.

[@impartialeclipse4874]

General horror tip: show your monsters rarely, when you show them don't let the player get a good look at them, and don't let your player die too often. Ideally you want to maximize close calls while minimizing actually getting caught. Dying too often is the fast track to making an unscary game. One thing you might do is in level 0 have it be mandatory that the player come across a journal before the ladder room, which either you're free to look through at any point in the game or the relevant levels' page shows as the loading screen between levels. it can tell you just enough info per level so you don't get killed over and over trying to figure out what to do and lose the horror factor. Also I feel like having a hallway where you either get killed or don't depending on rng doesn't sound very fun but maybe that's just me Edit: you can escape the backrooms by falling and randomly clipping out. You just can't do it intentionally and there's no guarantee you won't clip out somewhere that kills you

[@koladadog4978]

Nice but clipping out and getting killed randomly might get annoying quick especially if you were right at the exit. Other than that a good idea

[@Joshg1984]

I hate it when I can't get a good look at the monsters

[@impartialeclipse4874]

Interesting how things changed through development.

Why does the second level look like the basement of the apartment I used to live in when I was like 12? I would always run through that shit when my mom told me to go and get something.

You missed something, it is the sence of overwhelming dread once those entities spot you and the inability to recognize their features which adds up to the overall backrooms theme.

I just realised, Level 2 straight up looks like one that room that contains a server and pipes. I don’t get HOW it genuinely looks SCARIER than most backrooms levels, I’m 16 by the way. And I’ve read the genuinely terrifying ones, like that level only describable as home to everyone who enters and leaves (it’s literally called home), Mirror Lake High School (level 494), level 923 (I’ll put the first two letters of the I nitials to prevent spoilers: T.I.) (Really good at that existential dread, even despite what little content it has, the content it does have SHINES), that room that makes your mind so foggy that going outside it makes your mind feel clearer than everything else that contains nothing but a white void, a table a chair, and a door,and the One called Paradise (No.14), similar to Home in that it makes you believe things by hijacking your mind and perceptions, even long after you’ve left the levels, There’s also The White Room (different to the one I described, it makes you unwilling to leave, it beckons you, almost. In a way, it’s worse, it’s like you’re FORCED to be a horror protagonist, forced into its plot, even if you know otherwise. “The milky whites of the walls, floors, and ceilings communicate a sense of security and sanctuary within that is often lacking in levels similar to it. If this room were a person, you may be inclined to trust her with your life and to spill all of your well-kept secrets.”) Also, don’t forget -1, by proxy, because it needs to be in order to access The White Room. Also, Level 854, Home Sweet Home, Imagine a Narcissist, living with one, now imagine that narcissist wanted you to never wake up, at all costs, also, the bottom of the house is eternally ablaze, the floor is suspended in a state of forever burning down, the bottom is basically the flames themselves, the middle is smoggy as hell, and the top is where you start. Also, Exist Here, Level 994, as a little teaser, the only described exit is “Please just go back to where you came from, the tide is coming, you must leave before the tide comes.” 922. Depressingly lonely, nothing for you but a concrete staircase and the concrete room it occupies, no room for other things. May change in the future, it’s described as “it’ll stay this way for all of eternity… at least, until our perception of it molds to give it new life.” And hints that it may be rewritten soon. Level 972: If you trust a cult member, you will be brought to the land of the FALSE GOD, here’s an Excerpt from the first part “If the anomaly deems them "Holy," the person rises into the clouds above and will fall into Level 63. As a result of being "Holy," they will also find that extra supplies are now on themselves, ranging from Almond Water to other small items, like weapons and food. Even Royal Rations has been reported a few times. If it deems the person "a sinner," they will fall through the ground and land onto Level 666, which subsequently determines their fate from there.” And here’s an excerpt from the second part, when you dig deeper and find out that it’s not all Sunflowers and Daisies. “Level 972 takes the appearance of a destroyed world. People can hear the screams and shouts of humans at this level in significant distortion. This level has an entirely red sky that emits a gas, which stresses the wanderer quickly. One can become lost within level 972 quite easily, as there are hordes of entities blocking certain roads, meaning that traversing level 972 is almost impossible. What makes this worse is that wanderers must cross level 972. If they do not run constantly, they will be found by FALSE GOD. If they get caught, their fate from there is so dangerous that no wanderer has witnessed it without dying to it.” Also, “This entity is exclusive to this level, and it has the appearance of the wanderer's depiction of God. It has complete omnipotence and omniscience within this level. This being is only visible via individual hallucinations, allowing multiple wanderers in entirely different places to see it simultaneously, giving False God an apparent ability to be ubiquitous. This entity also can noclip wanderers in and out of this level. this entity is solely confined to this level, theorizing that false God is the level itself." This entity is the main threat of this level and essentially chases around wanderers. It knows the location of all wanderers in this level, and its speed is just barely slower than the average male running speed. This entity is exceptionally hostile and has complete sentience, although it cannot be reasoned with Other Entities including hounds, smilers, skin stealers, reviooks, deathmoths, clumps, and wranglers appear on this level regularly. Instances of Denizens have also been rumored, but the M.E.G has yet to confirm this.” Imagine running from your personal horror, who is really OMNISCIENT and knows exactly where you are and just forces you to run forever, until you die to it. Doesn’t matter if your friends are on this level, they can’t help you, at all, except possibly saving you from a surprise faceling here or there. Also, Cultists are trying to force you straight to the FALSE GOD. Fun. Anyway, how the HELL do the MEG get out of these impossible to exit levels to report back?

I think there should be some kind of head bopping motion to make it feel more like you're actually walking. It would also be cool if you and the entities were a bit slower so they'd have more of a sense of weight and presence. Otherwise really good work, looks amazing.

[@silver1340]

I'm more of an old-school backroom enjoyer, so I really don't like how ALL entities are hostile. Now I know at the very start backrooms were a bland concept that merely worked as alternative to hell, by you being isolated, but... What if there were some entities that were beneficial? What if some only turned hostile conditionally? What if some are entirely unpredictable, and can "switch modes" like a bipolar person, being nice, passive or friendly one moment, and then murderous or unhinged the next? You could easily turn this into a survival game with more layers than avoiding the entities. I'm not saying you should add hunger and thirst mechanics, if you do, you should make it so it's not very prevalent (surviving days without water, weeks without food). But perhaps you could make an entire "entity ecology," where some specimens hunt the others, those others try to hide, etc. Level 2 was also described as being a storage or warehouse if I recall correctly, further specifying that electronic gadgets and prepackaged sources of nourishment appear there at times, making it a perfect, but highly hazardous scavenger zone. Some other level had an entire community of unfortunate survivors hiding about, meaning you could sell or give out the claimed resources, which would affect your ranking there AND support building of new semi-safe outposts in other zones, which can be destroyed by entities if too much attention is brought there (if you constantly run there to safety too many times). There is so much potential, and sadly I can't claim it, as I'm not a game dev :(

Wiki: Howlers are tall, disfigured creatures with distorted and messy appearance who have a slight humanoid shape Fancy: Wait is it just describing me? I broke in tears of laughter at that part

[@SebHaarfagre]

Like someone else stated here: The truest horror is that of not knowing, and close calls. It's a fine line between dying too often and making scary enemies lol. Since the skills and ... well, uh... _intelligence_ of a player base vary wildly That being said, just having a good ambience, and actually have *NO* creatures attack you, but expecting it all the time, that can actually be much scarier than being chased constantly. A couple of games that did this perfect: Alien Isolation . The whole game is perfect in regards to exposure/danger and ambience Poppy's Playground with that initial vent chase; note that this is a long and very linear game, so the vent scene wasn't oversaturating the player with chases, and once happening, was terrifying. SCP Containment Breach . Mainly terrifying because of the quality of monsters, randomness, and additional anomalies, and situation and goal, made it a great combo game. There's not any more I really found that great or scary that I can remember. I guess Dead Space and F.E.A.R. was terrifying too - the first ones I mean - because it was much uncharted territory back then, but I digress Point is, the scariest part is expecting to be scared. And the longer time goes before that happens, the worse it is

[@emperorzero526]

Tbh, i think it needs a mix. Once you figure out nothing is chasing you, it gets kinda boring imo. You need a good mix of extreme ambience and isolation, combined with something horrifying chasing you, with good sound effects.

[@AB-xx6gy]

sir was the paragraph really necessary-

[@jamo8154]

also to add: SCP containment breach and SCP Secret laboratory both have really good sound design

[@ItsJavaJawa]

Multiplayer idea: People should spawn in random areas, adds suspense because you don't know who you'll encounter and makes for a small jumpscare. When they die, they leave behind their camera. If you have the time, because the game's still going and you risk getting jumped, you can see footage of their journey in the backrooms before their death.

looks great! i havent been keeping up with backrooms lore and stuff (only a video of level 1 on google maps) but this looks great and im starting to get genuinely interested in this concept

[@voidbite]

there isn't really any lore this is a sentence out of the wiki en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Backrooms ("Although Internet users have expanded upon this concept by creating different "levels" of the Backrooms and "entities" which inhabit them, the original version came from a two-paragraph 4chan comment on a post asking for "unsettling images", where an anonymous user invented a story based on one of the photos")

If you could add multiplayer, that would be amazing. It would be nice to play a game with friends and have a fun time while also being scared shitless.

Just to add humor to the game, if you encounter a monster, a battle should ensue, like a turn based fight s as in the Paper Mario series

Multiplayer horror games are never scary though. As soon as you have a friend with you, everything is less scary.

What a great video ! I wanted to replicate the backroom in program last week and I get to see this video in my recommendation. It didn't come to my mind to generate map by pieces of small labyrinths, as I was focused to fully generate a labyrinth with random tiles with the help of an algorithm. The problem is most of the algorithms that I found generate only "perfect map" and not "imperfect map" and what makes the difference is that an imperfect one can contain clusters (places in the labyrinth that are impossible to go) and loops. It sure was a pain to do it because I had to exchange the complexity of the labyrinth and its performance to generate it fast. This video surely helped me a bit to clear my mind, great job !

I have an idea that in backrooms you can find items to defend such as: an ax, a stick, a knife, maybe even a firearm with very good luck or a garbage bag full of garbage to serve as a shield, if there was a multiplayer mode, it would be a good way to survive when confronted with other players (the idea with the bag came from the fact that in "the Backrooms found Footage" there was a garbage container and in this container it is possible that there will be something useful for survival inside). Returning to the multiplayer mode, you can also find radios for communication between people who want to stick together and read as much as possible. It would be nice to see at least one of my proposed ideas for this project. I hope that everything will be successful and I will be subscribing for more and regularly. Have a nice day :D
