Inside the Backrooms How to survive in backrooms

ㅤ

Entities

Entity ## – the bacteria / cable monsterThis entity wanders around the first level, the backrooms. It is believed to control that area. It will wait in silence, until you walk or run past, at which point it will chase after you, giving off a loud screech. This entity hits you until you run out of health points, but can be outrun as long as you are printing. The best way to deal with this entity is through avoiding areas where the fluorescent lights have turned a dark orange. If it is chasing you, escape immediately to a locker.If you must travel through an area with dark orange lighting, peak slowly around corners, you may see it waiting in the distance for you.

Entity #3 – the smilerThis entity will manifest in areas of darkness in the backrooms. Its wide grin and white eyes materialize out of the shadows, waiting for you to look at it. It will slowly turn you insane, so make sure to have anti-anxiety pills on hand. If you look at the smiler, just simply turn around and walk behind a wall or a door. You can simply wait for the smiler to dematerialize. If you look at them or are too close to them, they will instantly consume you, killing you no matter your health. As long as you avoid eye contact and walk past them, they cannot possibly pose a threat. Your flashlight will flicker when one is near. When it flickers, turn it off.

ㅤ

Entity #8 – the houndThis entity trawls along the vents in the backrooms, and pounces down to hunt. You will hear it clamber out of the vents, at which point you should stay well away. It is fast and will chase you down. The hound, once it has found you, will quickly chase you and hit you until your health runs out. The game says it can be intimidated with eye-contact, however you are better off running to a locker to escape it. If you hear it clamber out of a vent, be very wary of that area. There will be no lighting cues for it. You can wait out for the creature to leap back into the vents. You can then use the screwdriver to close the vents, thwarting the creature, making it less likely to hop out of that vent again. There are some vents, however, that are broken and cannot be closed.

ㅤ

Entity #10 – the skin-stealerThis entity is attracted to blood and gore, so you’d better patch yourself up if you are hurt. Its feet smack the ground with a moist slap; the skin the entity wears doesn’t belong to it. It lurks in the parking level and in the Office rooms, waiting for its next skin suit. This entity will charge at you upon sight and will hit you until you die. It does not make a sound when charging, however its distinctive footsteps can be heard. You can escape this creature using lockers. The skin-stealer can be parallelled to the cable creature, however there are no lighting cues and this creature is always walking around.

ㅤ

Entity #67 – the partygoerThis entity only comes out to play when you fail its game in the Office rooms. You’d better play to its rules and do as it says, or it will take great pleasure in removing your insides. This entity can be avoided entirely if you manage to beat the ‘fun games’ that the partygoer makes you take part in. If you fail at any point during the gift-finding or candle-blowing stage, however, then it will enter the maze to punish you. There is nothing you can do to stop this entity. It will frolic around, its footsteps heavy. When it sees you, it will run towards you You can try to run away, and you might lose its trail. If it catches you, however, you will be slaughtered. Make sure you win, next time.

ㅤ

Entity #5 – the clumpThis entity is without eyes nor a nose. It is a bundle of appendages that is somehow adept as swimming, which you find as you enter the pool zone or the Sewer Rooms. If you get too close, it will leap onto you, devouring you with its large mouth. In the pool zone, you must use the motion tracker to detect where they are to avoid them. One effective strategy is to keep on moving and snaking past where they appear to be. If you bump into one, no matter how much health you have, it will kill you. They cannot leave the water, so once you’re out, you’re safe. In the Sewer Rooms, however, they are on display for all to see, roaming the sewage as if a highway and roaming some of the rooms. Same rules apply, get too close and they will instantly kill you. They do not have any senses so rely on your touching them.

ㅤ

Entity #25 – The death ratGinormous and riddled with bacteria and plague, Entity #25 roams the sewage channels of the Sewer Rooms. Despite having no vision, the hearing on the behemoths are uncanny, and they will dash towards any noise they hear. If you see one approaching, freeze before it gets too close. Without eyes, it can walk right by you. But move a muscle, and it will come down on you instantly, killing you in one hit. Your only bet is to stay still and wait for it to shuffle by. Even if you are on the side-lines, the rats will run up to sniff out any noise. The only safe places are the rooms, so if you can, ditch into a room if one is running towards you.
