About Inside The Backrooms May 2026

VR support is currently reported as very poor (though being improved).

Inside the Backrooms is an ideal choice for players who want a truly creepy and challenging cooperative experience, especially those who appreciate the original, simpler "liminal space" aesthetic of the Backrooms creepypasta. It's often recommended over alternatives for its superior atmosphere and puzzles. To make this review more useful to you, I can:

There are currently 6 main entities (with more added through updates) based on the original creepypasta, each with unique behaviors and attack patterns. Learning to avoid or evade them is key.

Occasional bugs and issues with net code have been reported, making it sometimes frustrating.

The atmosphere is described as genuinely terrifying, with a high degree of tension and a focus on psychological dread. Anxiety increases when looking at entities, causing visual distortions. Proximity voice chat is included, allowing team communication—but entities can hear you.

Some levels (like "Level FUN") can feel unfair due to instant-death entities.
