changedAs I am sure you are aware. Welcome to the backrooms is officially dead. We don't have any plans for development any further at this time. We sincerely apologize for not achieving what we had promised to all of you. This is a message coming directly from the lead of this team. We are a very small indie studio, and this was our very first game, the community we built up over the past few years has changed my life, and our team genuinely loves our community and cares for all of you. Things don't always go as planned, life gets in the way. etc. and we hope you all understand. This is not the end though. As we have learned a lot from developing welcome to the backrooms.
changedWith that.. We currently have a second game in development, and we hope that you will come along for the ride with us! The game is called "Arcane Arena", and it is a 2D, top down, pixel art, arena pvp game where you choose a deck of 5 cards, (abilities) such as fireballs, lasers, illusions, shockwaves, etc. and battle it out in 1v1, 2v2, or 1v1v1 modes in either a competitive or casual environment. It has online multiplayer and local 4 person offline modes with controller support! if that sounds like something you are interested in, then you are in the right place!
changedIF YOU HAVE PURCHASED WELCOME TO THE BACKROOMS OR OWN WELCOME TO THE BACKROOMS ON STEAM, YOU WILL BE COMPESATED WITH A COMPETITIVE MATCHMAKING PASS AND COSMETICS / OTHER ITEMS THAT WE ARE CURRENTLY DECIDING ON IN ARCANE ARENA
changedThis is our thank you, and our apology to our community and those who have decided to give welcome to the backrooms a chance.
changedThis discord server will now server the purpose of being a hub for all of our games, you are welcome to leave or stay, and we would not blame you. But we thank you for being a part of our community nevertheless! Again we apologize for any inconvenience or disappointment we may have caused.

Welcome To The Backrooms is now free to play for everyone on steam! We will not be taking it down, as we feel that would be disrespectful to all of those who have bought the game in the past.

This is our thank you, and our apology to our community and those who have decided to give welcome to the backrooms a chance.
