Backrooms: Exit Protocol 0

The keycard is still missing, a puzzle is still unsolved, and the monster is out there in Level 0 with you. That is the moment Backrooms: Exit Protocol 0 stops being a stroll and starts being a problem. Beat it and you get the sweet relief of finally getting out.

Your job is to explore Level 0, find the keycard, work through the puzzles and escape the backrooms. Avoiding the monster is the part that keeps your palms damp. You can run with Shift, crouch with C and jump with Space, so you always have a move to try when things get tense.

If you like Horror Escape games that make you think as well as flinch, this one fits. It is a single-player game from VSG Enterprise that plays free in your desktop browser with no download. Fans of Puzzle games will also enjoy the brain work between the scares.

Explore Level 0, find the keycard, solve the puzzles and escape the backrooms without getting caught by the monster.

On PC, move with W, A, S, D or the arrow keys. Run with Shift, jump with Space, crouch with C, interact with E, drop an item with R and open the menu with Tab. Hold the right mouse button to zoom the camera. On mobile, use the joystick and on-screen buttons for moving, jumping, running, crouching and dropping items.

Tip: use the zoom when you want a closer look at something before you commit to it.
