Welcome, adventurer, to the definitive field Backroom Company Guide for surviving the endless dread of the Backrooms. From calculating loot values to outsmarting horrifying anomalies, this guide contains everything you need to know, compiled from hours of painful (and sometimes fatal) trial and error.
Level 0: Hotel Lobby
Entities
- Moths – Harmless unless you touch their toxic mist. Just don’t breathe too deep near them.
- Roaches – Harmless… until they rob you. Steal items from your hotbar. Kill with crowbar.
- Mr. Cleaner (Sweeper) – Chill. Just here to mop the horrors. Don’t hurt him.
- Dogs / Hounds – Nightmare fuel. Killable with one shotgun shell. Dodge or run.
- Slenderman – Snap a photo, don’t approach. Watch long enough and he vanishes.
- Bacteria – Unstoppable. Avoid at all costs.
- Little Girl – Hide in lockers when she counts down. That’s the only way to survive.
- Spitter – Immobile, but fires corrosive spit. Unkillable. Avoid.
- Hat Man – Run or manipulate his behavior. He turns passive if you get close repeatedly.
- Parasites – Former scientists. Blind, hunt via sound. Walk silently past or blast once with a shotgun.
- Smiler – You see a grin? Run to the light or into a locker. They own the darkness.
