addedThe team has been hard at work rebuilding the game from the ground up!We’re shaping it into the game we always believed it could become; a bigger, weirder, scarier, funnier, and more chaotic co-op adventure through the Backrooms like you’ve never experienced before! We’ve reworked major parts of the game’s design, visuals, systems, levels, monsters, and the overall narrative direction to make Benny’s Backrooms feel more unique, more replayable, and way more fun with friends. And to give you a first look at what's coming, we just released a brand new trailer!

Starting today, you can sign up for a playtest for a chance to be among the first to try the rebuilt Benny’s Backrooms, and help us test and shape the future of the of it through your feedback while it’s still in active development!

Turns out game development is way harder than it looks like on Youtube (like suspiciously hard), and just to be sure we checked if the devs are still alive (they are, well, uh, most of them at least!)

The team has been hard at work rebuilding the game from the ground up!

The playtest will run from May 27 through June 10. We'll be gradually inviting more players to try the game throughout the playtest, so keep an eye out on your notifications!
