Wanderers, it’s time to return to the backrooms for a new expedition featuring 9 new levels, each bringing you to both new and familiar destinations in the backrooms.
Here are some glimpses of just a few of the new levels you can explore the next time you no-clip into the backrooms:
Improvements
Fixed some issues with the voice chat system
Made small balancing changes to previous levels and items (such as speed boost from items now being double the duration)
Fixed various gameplay bugs
There have also been a lot of changes done behind the scenes to gameplay systems to be able to start implementing better replayability, player progression, events, and more quality of life changes that will be coming soon.
Playing the game is desktop mode is highly recommended for the best experience as VR is still in the very early development stages and may not work as intended.
Enjoy!
Christmas Event
Wanderers, if you feel like returning to the backrooms for Christmas, we've added 8 player lobbies for a limited time during the holiday season. It's not much as we've been hard at work on the next major content update, but holidays are always better with others so the more the merrier!
Changes:
Added the ability to create lobbies with 8 players.
Made parts of the poolrooms frozen.
Enjoy!
