Detailed Review

Hide in The Backrooms: Horror positions itself within the growing niche of backrooms-themed mobile games, leveraging internet folklore about liminal spaces between dimensions. Developed by CASUAL AZUR GAMES, this Android title delivers a procedurally generated horror experience where players navigate yellow-walled corridors while avoiding mysterious entities. The game builds upon the established backrooms mythology that has gained traction across online horror communities. The core gameplay revolves around exploration and evasion mechanics across multiple levels of increasingly complex layouts. Players must navigate the monotonous yellow-hued environments while collecting items and avoiding detection by hostile entities. The procedural generation ensures varied layouts across play sessions, though the visual monotony of the backrooms aesthetic remains consistent throughout. Entity AI follows predictable patrol patterns, with different creature types exhibiting distinct movement behaviors and detection capabilities. User experience suffers from inconsistent performance across Android devices, with some users reporting launch errors as noted by Michael Montague in August 2025. The interface employs minimal on-screen controls for movement and interaction, maintaining immersion through limited UI elements. Real-world usage patterns show players engaging in short sessions due to the tense atmosphere, with the offline capability noted by Ryan Anthony in July 2025 making it suitable for commute gaming. The visual design effectively captures the unsettling backrooms aesthetic through distorted perspectives and limited lighting. User feedback trends highlight recurring themes across the 3.7-star rating. Multiple reviewers including Misty Piggott (August 2025) and Michael Montague have noted simplistic NPC AI that reduces challenge over time. The absence of online matchmaking emerges as a frequent request, particularly from players seeking social horror experiences. Matthias Garza's July 2025 review acknowledges the free-to-play model but suggests reducing ad frequency from the current implementation. Positive feedback consistently praises the atmospheric tension and exploration elements that capture the backrooms concept effectively. The game succeeds in translating the creepy backrooms concept into mobile format with strong atmospheric presentation and accessible gameplay. Significant limitations include repetitive AI behavior, lack of multiplayer options, and performance inconsistencies. Ideal for horror fans seeking quick sessions of atmospheric exploration rather than complex survival mechanics or social gameplay. The development team appears responsive to feedback based on review responses, suggesting potential for improvement through future updates.

I love this game very much but all I want is online matchmaking. the NPCs are a lil stupid and having no online friends makes it lonely to play... other than that, it's a awesome game.

I do wish that the npc are smarter. they are making it easy to kill them they run at u but other than that I love the game u guys out done yourself also there should be more maps the npc should run away from you to make it a little harder for monsters i click on the game and it says not allowed when my parents allowed it u guys should make multiplayer
