BACKROOMS EXPLORATION - DEVELOPMENT BACK IN PROGRESS

PLEASE READ - (BAKROOMS EXPLORATION BACK IN DEVELOPMENT)
-
We are retracting our decision to cancel the development of Backrooms Exploration as a fix was found to restore the game back to its original state! We will be continuing development, while also still releasing the new Liminal Mode as a standalone game!

The price will stay at $7.99 USD for this game while the new standalone Liminal Mode will be free!
Thank you all for understanding! We are very happy to continue this game!

BACKROOMS EXPLORATION PRODUCTION CANCELLED - PLEASE READ

BACKROOMS EXPLORATION PRODUCTION CANCELLED



Thank you all for the support on Backrooms Exploration. We have decided to stop working on Backrooms Exploration and will not be expanding on that specific game anymore due to many different factors, including being a solo dev for this project, and corrupted game files :(

But there is good news! Backrooms Liminal Mode will be made into another game released on steam that will be FREE for everyone to download as our way to give back and will be better than our previously planned Liminal Mode, as I managed to salvage most of Liminal Mode from the previous project!

I hope that you can all understand that this is the best option to move forward and bring better games than ever before! I have learnt from my mistakes and will make a better game for you all!

The price of the game will be changed as that is only fair to you all, which allows more people to play Backrooms Exploration!

Thank you for your Support and understanding - James Mistcloud Games
