More Than Just Endless Hallways

BrVR Backrooms Virtual Reality is a PCVR fan-art project. Think of it as the Backrooms Wikidot in Virtual Reality. John and I are a father son indiedev duo who are enamored with The Backrooms and love making Virtual Reality games in our spare time. We initially just wanted to make a "high effort" Reddit post. The idea was to recreate the wikidot pictures in Unreal Engine so that people could just look around the room as we imagined it would look. After answering a Reddit post by our now good friend u/LocalLawfulness for someone to please make a VR Backrooms experience, we decided to take on the challenge as we were looking for a new programming project for school anyway.

​

Our ultimate goal is to make it a Virtual Reality WikiDot where people can create levels and submit them to be in the game. As of November 2023 that has become a reality as we added the amazing LEVEL THETA from our good friend Gatch13, an active member and playtester from our Discord. We literally rely on our amazing community, who we truly consider family, to help shape this massive fan-art project.
 

This game has updated weekly for over two years now and John says he doesn't see it stopping. He also crushes bugs, quality of life issues, and executes new suggestions from the Discord on a daily basis. We do this as a passion project, not for money.

We plan to continue adding and upgrading levels, upgrading mechanics, upgrading graphics, making more interactible objects, and adding entities for a long time to come. We also want people to play it "their way" so we go out of our way to give you control over things like firearms and entities in your Backrooms.

​

We love The Backrooms, we love artists, and we love our community. If you think this is an asset flip, you couldn't be further from the truth. NO ONE would put in 2 years of effort and this amount of work for $5. We use the money to buy better assets, and better hardware with a couple of bucks left over to make BREAD OR DEAD VR. We use Epic Marketplace assets because we are programmers, not artists. With a goal of over 1000 levels eventually, we don't have the time or money to make all those assets. However, we do try to modify assets, not use demo maps unless it just fits, and always give credit where it is due. We display the Credits prominently in our game. Thank you artists!

​

For those who want to know, this project is currently stuck in Unreal Engine version 4.25 so we have a number of limitations due to that. Moving the project to 5.3 or even 4.27 would be a herculean task.

Thank you fam for all your support!
