About game
Staring at a blank wall while your coffee cools down is a rough way to spend a break. Glued in an elevator: BackRooms turns those dull moments into a frantic struggle for survival inside a shifting, infinite high-rise. You stand trapped in a metal box, constantly ascending while hordes of hungry zombies wait behind every sliding door. Every floor forces you to clear out enemies with your trusty weapon before the elevator continues its climb. Stopping at shops every five levels allows you to pick up upgrades to boost your damage, crit chance, or health regeneration. This challenging roguelike forces you to rethink your strategy after every defeat because dying means starting your run from the lobby again. Collecting coupons during your sessions helps you unlock permanent perks that make subsequent attempts much easier. Reaching the 31st floor requires nerves of steel and a perfectly tuned build to take down the final bosses. Fire up your browser right now to play for free with no download required.
