About this game

Backrooms VR is the most expansive and immersive take on the iconic creepypasta universe ever made for virtual reality. Explore over 300,000 square meters of haunting liminal space across countless unique levels, each with their own layouts, moods, and hidden dangers. From flickering office corridors and moldy maintenance shafts to unsettling playgrounds and decaying hotel halls, every area is handcrafted to mess with your sense of space and reality.

Your goal is unclear. Your exit uncertain. But you’re not alone—something watches. The longer you stay, the deeper you fall.

Play solo in this standalone version, or unlock the full experience by joining Banter, our social VR platform. Inside Banter, you get:

  • Multiplayer and voice chat
  • Access to new areas and updates
  • Custom avatars and social features

Best of all, it’s completely free with a SideQuest account.

Whether you’re here for exploration, survival, or just the unease of being somewhere you shouldn’t be, Backrooms VR delivers a deeply atmospheric experience designed to pull you in and not let go.

Don’t get lost. Or do. We dare you.

This trailer is protected under the guidance of ". . ."

We are not responsible for any tears made in the fabric of reality whilst you are spending time on Banter. Bring everyone you know and exert as much energy as possible, as it is your duty. You know who you are. P.S. Enjoy the candy.
