Game record

What is Backrooms Protocol?

Backrooms Protocol is a first-person horror exploration game on Steam from Niche. The Steam page describes assigned objectives, hostile entities, realistic Backrooms levels, and solo play or online co-op with a team of up to 4 players.

Use this hub as a launch checklist before you install or gather a group: confirm the live Steam state, decide whether the demo answers your immediate question, compare your PC against listed requirements, and keep co-op roles simple for the first session.

The first group of pages focuses on decisions players can make without inventing level solutions: launch status, demo scope, beginner route discipline, system requirements, and co-op setup. Exact level routes should come from visible play or official information, so the site separates practical preparation from unconfirmed map claims.

For a clean first visit, follow the page order shown above: release status first, demo scope second, beginner preparation third, requirements fourth, and co-op planning last. That order keeps the practical decisions visible before any deeper route reading.
