If you love the spine-chilling terror of found footage horror, you’re in for a treat—or a nightmare. The Backrooms 1998, a survival horror experience from Steelkrill Studio and Feardemic, is making its way to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch when it finally leaves Early Access on PC.

This psychological horror The Backroom 1998 has been lurking in Early Access on Steam since May 25, 2022, steadily terrifying players with its unsettling atmosphere and tense survival mechanics. But now, console players will get their chance to explore the eerie, never-ending maze of The Backrooms.

About The Backrooms 1998

Set in—you guessed it—1998, the game puts you in the shoes of a teenager who accidentally falls into The Backrooms, a nightmarish labyrinth of seemingly endless yellow-tinted hallways. Your only goal? Survive and escape.

But it’s not just about running and hiding. The Backrooms 1998 cranks up the fear factor with:

  • A terrifying monster that’s always lurking, listening for your every move.
  • A stamina system—run too much, and you’ll be too exhausted to escape.
  • A spray can mechanic to mark your path so you don’t get lost in the endless corridors.
  • Limited saves—only special safe rooms let you catch a break, so use them wisely.

A true horror experience—if you can handle it

Fair warning—this game isn’t for the faint of heart. The developers have made it clear that The Backrooms 1998 is intensely disturbing, featuring jump scares, gore, extreme violence, and psychological horror that will get under your skin.

If you think you’ve got what it takes to escape, keep an eye out for a full release date. Until then, PC players can still dive into Early Access on Steam.
