Backroom Collector: This New Backrooms Horror Game Turns You Into an Anomaly Collector

Backroom Collector is the debut title from Bear Swipe Studios, and they’re diving head-first into the liminal weirdness of the Backrooms. Instead of simply trying to escape, you’ve been hired by an enigmatic millionaire with an unusual job: collect, record, and preserve entities and objects pulled from the Backrooms themselves.

At its core, this is procedural horror with roguelite elements and anomaly-spotting gameplay that combines tense investigation with unpredictable encounters.

Horror Meets Investigation

Each night, you’ll monitor the collector’s private gallery, a space filled with strange, grbaotesque and pretty creepy specimens from the Backrooms. Your job is to analyze and stabilize these anomalies while trying to survive, and the collection grows more dangerous with every passing night. Each entity and object has unique properties, and missing an anomaly’s behavior could have deadly consequences.

As you investigate, specimen logs expand gradually, revealing hidden stories, lore, and even secret rooms within the gallery. Every run is different. Procedurally generated rooms, varying anomaly behaviors, and escalating difficulty ensure no two nights are the same. The more you investigate, the more you uncover about what you’re really dealing with.

Coming Soon

As Bear Swipe Studios’ first release, Backroom Collector offers a fresh take on Backrooms horror by blending procedural investigation with roguelite progression. Details are still scarce, so keep your eyes on JumpScared! for more information as it emerges. In the meantime, check out the brand-new trailer and Steam page that just dropped alongside the announcement.
