About This Game

The Abandoned Levels is an intense single-player survival horror where the line between reality and nightmare blurs.
After a series of personal tragedies, you plunge into the eerie Backrooms – an endless labyrinth of dark corridors, decaying rooms, and deadly creatures that can kill you with the slightest mistake.

Your Goal: Find the exit and escape – or lose yourself to madness.

A Story of Loss, Fear – and the Will to Live

After losing your job, your relationship, and your dog, there seems to be no reason to go on.
A final step from the rooftop should have been the end – but instead, you glitch through the floor and awaken in a cramped, suffocating chamber: Level 1 of the Backrooms.
Mysterious notes urge you to gear up and prepare. A slide takes you down into the first of many levels, each with its own threat, puzzles, and traps.

From there, your struggle begins: handcrafted levels full of danger, a Sanity System that eats away at your mind, and creatures that can kill you in one hit. Each stage brings you closer to reality – and to the question of why you fought so hard to survive when you initially wanted to die.

Main Features

  • Handcrafted Levels: Each level offers a unique atmosphere, individual puzzles, and a specially designed monster with distinct behavior patterns.
  • One-Hit Kill: Enemies are ruthless. One mistake – and you’re dead. Outsmart, dodge, and run for your life.
  • Sanity System: Your mind is limited. If mental stability drops to zero, the game ends.
  • Almond Water: The only way to restore sanity – rare, precious, and often hard to reach.
  • Pure Atmosphere: Dense soundscapes, flickering lights, tight spaces, and a constant sense of threat.
  • Horror & Brief Pauses: Subtle humorous moments break the tension without ruining it.
  • Open-World Prologue: Explore a city with functional shops, busy streets, and dangerous alleyways.
  • High Replayability: Random elements, different monster encounters, and alternative routes keep every run fresh.

Atmosphere & Gameplay

The Abandoned Levels combines psychological horror with resource management. Every step is a balance between risk and safety. Learn to evade monsters, keep your sanity in check, and examine every room to avoid traps.

The audiovisual design keeps you constantly on edge: distant whispers, buzzing fluorescent lights, dripping pipes – and the sudden noise that reveals something lurking with you in the dark.

Are You Ready to Enter the Backrooms?

Every mistake could be your last. Every exit could lead to freedom – or deeper into darkness.
The Abandoned Levels tests your reflexes and your psyche.
Will you escape – or be lost forever in the abandoned levels?
