Features

Procedural Backrooms

Everything is procedurally generated:

• Endless interconnected hallways
• Offices
• Multiple floor levels
• Decaying and infected wallpaper
• Flickering lights
• Lockers
• Bacterial growths spreading throughout the complex
• Randomly generated loot in barrels (works with other mods too)

Panic System

Spending time in darkness and isolation slowly raises your panic level. As panic increases, so do the psychological effects, making survival increasingly difficult.

• Heartbeat sounds at high panic
• Visual disturbances
• Random panic effects at extreme levels
• Panic affects how entities detect you

Survival

• Armor becomes less reliable over time
• Resources must be scavenged from the environment
• Every decision can attract unwanted entities
• Hiding in lockers may work for some time
• Sneaking on wool/moss makes you harder to detect
• When in the office biome, don’t quit your work

Organic Infection

Bacterial growths spread across walls, floors, and ceilings. These organisms slowly corrupt nearby blocks and seem connected to whatever lurks within the Backrooms.

• Bacteria shrooms that detect noise
• Bacteria vines that spread across surfaces
• 3 strikes from shrooms alerts the bacterium

Soundscape

Backrooms Bounded includes a collection of ambient sounds and environmental audio.

Expect:

• Distant ambient noises
• Unsettling atmosphere
• Dynamic panic effects
• Entity audio cues

Headphones are highly recommended.

Entering the Backrooms

The methods of entering and escaping the Backrooms are intentionally left undisclosed to preserve discovery.

(Hint: Every entry and exit chance is configurable)

Entities

The Bacterium

A mysterious entity roams the Backrooms.

The longer you survive, the more dangerous it becomes.

The Mimic

Not every figure wandering the Backrooms is what it appears to be.

Trust becomes a dangerous thing.

Corpses

Four types of corrupted corpses roam different dimensions. Each has unique behaviors, detection methods, and interactions. Some remain dormant until disturbed. Others are always active.

Still Life

Peaceful entities that sometimes get scared of other entities lurking inside this dimension

The Manager

• Patrols exclusively within Level 4 Abandoned Offices

• Its large central eye dynamically tracks player movements within its socket

Printer

Rarely found in office cubicles, these blocks can transform items.

Computer

• Generates in three states: Active (On), Powered Down (Off), or Glitched

• Right-clicking opens the proprietary Glyph Containment terminal interface

• Presents a 24-glyph field written in Standard Galactic runes

• Players have 30 seconds to route matching runes into three designated containment nodes

• Runes must be matched across Color, Size, and Motion properties

• The Manager stands directly behind you while the terminal is active

• Committing three sorting errors triggers an immediate attack

• Closing the terminal interface or walking away mid-session counts as abandonment and provokes the Manager

• Successfully meeting the quota rewards Speed II, Night Vision, XP, sanity recovery, and a chance for Almond Water

• Completing the quota temporarily pacifies the Manager and places the terminal on a cooldown
