Clean the Threats in the Backrooms: 4-Player Coop Roguelike TPS 'Backroom Cleaners' Comes to Early Access in December

Hypercent has officially announced that it will release the early access version of its upcoming game "Backroom Cleaners" in December. Along with this exciting news, the company also presented the game's newest trailer for gamers to enjoy. The early access period will allow the developers to further perfect the game based on player feedback. This announcement has sparked great curiosity, especially among players who love cooperative (multiplayer) and roguelike genres. The developer studio plans to release the full version of the game in June 2026.

The game is based on the creepy "backrooms" concept that has gained popularity in internet culture in recent years. Players step into these mysterious, labyrinth-like locations where hostile entities and dangerous creatures attack relentlessly. The main objective is to secure and clean the out-of-control areas by eliminating these threats. This dark atmosphere provides players with both thrilling moments and strategic gameplay. The legendary and eerie aesthetic of the backrooms stands out as an inseparable part of the game's overall design.

Backroom Cleaners offers a third-person shooter (TPS) structure where a maximum of four players can cooperate. Although it is possible to play solo, the game places great emphasis on moving as a team and coordination between players. To withstand enemy waves, clear dangers in the area, and survive, players must combine their different abilities. Thanks to roguelike elements, each play session offers a dynamic and unpredictable experience different from the last. The procedural generation of maps, enemies, and rewards elevates the game's replayability to the highest level.

The game's concept draws strong inspiration from the "liminal spaces" and the backrooms myth, which were born and raised in anonymous internet forums and quickly became a global phenomenon. Backrooms are known as ghostly locations that create a deep sense of unease, featuring endless office spaces, corridors with yellow wallpapers, and fluorescent lights. In recent years, this concept has inspired many indie and commercial games in the horror and thriller genres. However, Backroom Cleaners takes this eerie atmosphere beyond classic horror game tropes, combining it with fast-paced action and armed combat elements. As a result, it offers a unique experience that appeals to both fans of the backrooms universe and players looking to experience action-packed moments as a team.

The early access process, which is planned to start in December, holds great importance for both the developers and the community. The developer team aims to use the detailed feedback provided by players regarding game mechanics, difficulty level, and overall balance as a roadmap. This process will be shaped in a way that directly affects the quality and content of the final version of the game. Through their early-stage experiences, players will feel directly involved in and contribute to the game's development. Hypercent's vision is to transport Backroom Cleaners to its 2026 full version launch in its most perfect form through collaboration with the player community.
