addedToday we’re excited to launch Backside Story, a feature-length expansion now available in a free update for Floor Plan 2!

addedNew elevator!Backside Story features the most exciting elevator to date, with new puzzles, characters, and floors to explore. In fact, this expansion nearly doubles the total number of puzzles in Floor Plan 2! If you’ve been wanting more Floor Plan, you won’t be disappointed!

addedNew elevator!On your first return to Puzzl, the receptionist will direct you to check out something down the stairs in the lobby. If you are starting from a new save file, you can access Backside Story within about 10-15 minutes. Play up to the point where you enter the East Tower (the first elevator after the tutorial in the storefront), and the receptionist will have instructions for you when you return to the lobby.

addedNew ways to play!This update adds new standing and seated modes to the game, so you can grab and push anything from a distance and play the entire game in a small play space. Standing mode is the new default setting. If you wish to return to the roomscale control style from the previous version, you can do so in the options menu.

addedA note from the teamWe’ve been overwhelmed by the response to Floor Plan 2 since the game launched back in 2021. Its success enabled us to make this new elevator much bigger than we initially planned, and we spent nearly two years making Backside Story the ultimate love letter to the game’s fans. We’re so happy to finally share it today! If you enjoy this expansion and want us to make more games like this in the future, please consider leaving a rating or review on Steam - it helps us a ton! Thanks for your support!
