Backroom Beyond is out now
Hello. I am Renan, the game dev behind Backroom Beyond. I am happy with the result of the game and I wish you can have fun with this 40-level journey ahead of you.
It is a first-person puzzle game that makes you wonder about different ways of leaving that strange place. There are suspense elements that go beyond the standard backroom stories. It is my own take on this internet myth. It was a lot of fun making each level.
The game basically has one objective throughout its 40-level journey: place the red box over the red button and open the door to the next level. It seems simple at first, but it's not. Each environment has its own logic. If you feel frustrated because something went wrong in your strategy, you can always press the "wake up again button" that will make you reset the level.
There is no Game Over (Why are you crying FromSoftware? ahahha). It's just a joke. However, it is not an easy task.
There are red boxes to press buttons.
Green Boxes to hold and throw.
Blue boxes to push.
A shovel with a funny way to control it.
Floating platforms.
Portals...
Wow. It's quite a lot actually.
I hope you enjoy the game. It was made with a lot of love. Welcome to the Backroom Beyond.
The theme song chosen is "Irregular Pearls" from the "Third Good World" band. I am a fan of their work. I hope you like them as much as I do.
Enjoy the game and send your feedback.

Backroom Beyond is going to be available in July. Add to your wishlist
The narrative has two main points. Drawings tell part of the game's story on the walls. The drawings have no defined authorship, which gives them an extra degree of strangeness. The second point is the existence of The Guide, a being that instigates the players to think about their actions in real life.
The game basically has one objective throughout its 40-level journey: place the red box over the red button and open the door to the next level. It seems simple at first, but it's not. Each environment has its own logic. If the players feel frustrated because something went wrong in their strategy, they can press the “wake up again" button, which will return them to the beginning of the level.
Each scenario has a part of the story to be told, whether in the subway, in the snow, in the house, or in an actual backroom. Each place has its dose of tension and wonder.
The theme song chosen is Pérolas Irregulares (Irregular Pearls) by the band Terceiro Mundo Bom (Third Good World), whose clip has many similarities with the game's project.
“I created this game because I could bring my contribution to the world of backrooms, which I was fascinated by. This myth has everything to do with the stories I tell about the existence of realities and universes that coexist and can collide. The story I set out to tell in Backroom Beyond is fragmented in a way that the player will need to interpret many of the elements. After all, who is The Guide? Who wrote on the walls? Has anyone been there before? Is it possible to leave?”, says Renan Barreto, creator of the game. “And being able to put in the game the song Pérolas Irregulares played by the band Terceiro Mundo Bom, which I'm a fan of is incredible. I could not be happier. The song and the video match very well with the proposal of the story and I would say that both complement each other”.
Backroom Beyond will be available on Steam on July 8th for Windows PC.
