The Backrooms Project

Short description

Scientists made a new discovery about the Backrooms. Noclipping out of bounds in normal reality was a myth for long, but now it can be real! Now they are looking for subjects to test it on civil people. There are already scientists inside, so you have nothing to worry about, they say. Or do you?

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range agree well enough to narrow the estimate down to this band. Multiplied by $9.52, the average price these copies actually sold for — weighted from the price history rather than taken from the $9.99 launch price. That is 5% below list price on average. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
