A downloadable game for Windows

BitRooms is a simple top-down 2.5D game about exploring the Backrooms!

It has 26 levels (from 0 to 22 and others), more than 30 different items  and smaller features like crafting, building, and an in-game wiki accessed from computer terminals. To complete the game, you need to collect 5 rare artifacts from supply crates and find the exit in Level 11.

The game primarily follows a mix of wikidot, fandom wikis and its own canon.

This game is my free-time project, so it's far from perfect and has some problems, I'm just having fun making it. Some issues include minor lag, structure generation errors, or player being drawn above blocks. I can't fix some of these quickly due to how the game works, but none are significant enough to be considered game-breaking.

New content, such as new entities,  items and levels, and improvements of existing mechanics (such as base-building) is planned for the future.

If you install the game, please read !README.txt in files, it has important additional info!

This is one of the best Backrooms games i've ever played: lots of levels, random generation, possibility of building, great atmosphere, balanced number of entities, many items, also interesting idea with computers that contain information about in-game levels. This game have everything I think a game of this type should have.

Simple graphics of this game do not hinder immersion into its world. Reminded me of the game Darkwood.

The only complaint is that it is really difficult to navigate on level 8. Otherwise the game is great.

Thanks :) At some point in the future I'm going to remake most levels, so I'll look into that level 8 problem

game crashes when i click in a world

I haven't heard of that happening to anyone before. Could you join the discord server and post log.txt?

I don't know why it was doing it but its not anymore so I cant get a crash log

uuhh found a glitch!

(+1)

Oh yeah I already know about it, it was reported on the game's discord server. Also if you'll have more bug reports, it'd be better to send them there, it's more fitting for that kind of feedback than the comment section

I just got my computer back and this game is sweet but in level 6 u cant see anything at all i know thats lore accurate but can u add some light pls

Its not entirely black, but I made it too dark, and you can't see anything on some monitors (especially with brightness not being maxed out). I'll fix it soon

oh ok thanks for telling me that

Thanks! As much as I want to, sadly I can't make a mobile version of the game (not anytime in near future at least). I wish you luck though, and hope you'll get your computer back soon :)

Thanks simon142 my mom said that it will be returning a bit soon so I could play game I am excited

Nice. The game is kinda unfinished for now so it may feel boring, but I'm working on new updates

(+2)

:)

Omg, thanks! I'll watch all of it soon. As I said before, it's not perfect now, but I hope you'll check it out after some updates. Also, I know that it's kind of too difficult&boring now (on normal settings), but I will work on that

The game is perfec. can you make online (i want just local). And i think you should add popular levels (level fun, level ! ...). 

Sorry, I don't plan to add online mode in near future. I know it would be fun but it is really hard to work on (especially for me), and will probably require rewriting a lot of existing code as well. New levels are planned, but in next update I decided to focus on survival mechanics instead, as well more items, clothes, structures, etc. So I'm improving existing content and making current levels more fun for now. You'll see new levels in the update after the next one. (unless I split current update in two)

looking forward to new updates

Is there going to be a version for MacOS? If not, could you perhaps post the link to the source code so me or other people can compile to mac?

(+2)

Really sorry for that, but I'm not planning to release the source code of the game. However I may try compiling it for mac at some point (not sure when), with libs I'm using it's 100% possible but I have no experience (yet)

This game is about drive, is about power

This is truly one of the games of all time
