Backrooms Lost Runners: a co-op horror through the endless Backrooms corridors
Backrooms Lost Runners is a cooperative survival horror set in the Backrooms universe, made by the independent Ukrainian studio ShimStudioGames. Two, three or four of you slip through reality into endless yellow corridors with buzzing lights and damp carpet, trying to find a way out while entities on the other side of the dark hunt every sound you make. There's no heroic arsenal here: your real weapon is you and your team. Buying from us, you get the full Steam game, which we deliver as a gift straight to your account.
What this game is
The Backrooms is an internet myth about the "backstage of reality": fall through the wall of the world and you end up in an infinite maze of identical office rooms where you seem to be alone but definitely aren't. Lost Runners turns that myth into team survival. You explore levels, search for resources and keys, solve environmental puzzles and try not to lose your mind: a sanity system reacts to darkness and isolation, while the monsters themselves react to light, noise and even your actual voice in the mic. Say one word out loud and something is already walking toward the sound.
Why co-op is everything here
Lost Runners is built around online co-op with voice chat. Splitting up to search a sector faster is tempting, but alone you're far easier to corner. The game pushes you to stay together, share flashlights and resources, cover each other and keep your voice down. When a teammate dies, the "Tesseract Afterlife" mechanic kicks in โ death isn't always the final word, and the team still has a chance. You can play solo, but it's a full squad on headsets where the Backrooms truly clicks: panic, whispers over comms and nervous laughter when you finally find the exit.
Edition and what's included
On sale is the standard edition โ the full Backrooms Lost Runners game, with no mandatory extras and no need to buy a base version separately. Everyone who wants to play co-op with you needs their own copy. The game launched on June 17, 2026 on Steam in Early Access: the developers keep adding content and tuning balance, so some levels and systems expand over time. It supports 17 interface and subtitle languages, including English and Russian, so getting comfortable is easy.
Platform and system requirements
Backrooms Lost Runners runs on PC via Steam only: you need Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit). There are no macOS, Linux, console or mobile versions. Once the gift is accepted, the game sits in your Steam library like any normal purchase โ with cloud saves, achievements and every update the studio rolls out.
How we deliver: a Steam gift with no fuss
We send the game via Steam Gift. We need two things from you: your Steam friend invite link (s.team/p/...) and your Steam account region. The rest is on our bot: it adds itself to your friends, sends the gift โ usually within a couple of minutes โ and leaves your friends list on its own after delivery. You don't need to accept a friend request manually, and Steam Guard isn't required either. All that's left for you is to click "Accept Gift".
Two conditions Steam needs to accept the gift
- Matching region. Your Steam account region must match the gift region โ otherwise Steam simply won't let you accept it. Enter your account region precisely.
- The game isn't in your library yet. Steam won't let you accept a gift for a game already on the account. If Backrooms Lost Runners is already owned, the gift can't be accepted.
One more small thing: your privacy settings must allow friend requests, otherwise the bot can't reach you. If something goes wrong, it's usually a private profile or an expired invite link, and we'll continue the delivery as soon as you send a fresh link.
If you love the Backrooms and co-op horror
Backrooms Lost Runners is for those who already explored the backstage in Escape the Backrooms or Inside the Backrooms and want another dose of team dread in the same universe. And if it's not the myth but the cooperative panic on headsets that hooks you, check out Phasmophobia โ the same chemistry of fear among friends. We deliver all of these as Steam gifts too.
In short
Grab Backrooms Lost Runners if you want honest co-op horror without the pomp: dark corridors, sound-driven monsters, sanity on the edge and a team your life depends on. Full game, Steam-gift delivery, and help with region and delivery on our side.
