GAME DESCRIPTION

Short Description

Backrooms: Extractions is a 1-6 player cooperative horror game where players embody M.E.G. agents sent into the Backrooms. Each mission challenges your team to explore, survive, and extract missing operatives while facing unpredictable entities.

Long Description

Set in the year 2062, Backrooms: Extractions puts players in the role of M.E.G. agents equipped with advanced technology to enter and exit the Backrooms — an infinite extradimensional labyrinth. Your mission: locate trapped agents, transmit their coordinates, and secure extraction while surviving 7 distinct entities across 8 unique levels.

The game features immersive audio design where sound matters strategically — entities can hear your voice communications through the integrated VOIP system, creating a unique tension between the need to communicate and the danger of being heard. Each level features unique puzzles, hazards, and entities that create varied experiences where no two runs feel identical.

With an Endless Loop mode offering infinite difficulty scaling, a progressive reputation system unlocking tools, levels, and cosmetics, and community-driven updates with regular patches and expanded lore, Backrooms: Extractions delivers a deeply atmospheric cooperative horror experience.
