Release Version IV upgrades the entirety of Enter The Backrooms. This update adds new levels to explore, new entities to interact with, more decorative features, more languages, small structures that can provide you with items, and much more.
The biggest change in this update is a new level generation system that includes over 70 new sub-levels. You can think of sub-levels like "biomes" - they are patches of rooms that generate within the main levels and have different design features.

I have worked for 6 months on this behemoth of an update and am so excited to finally share it with the world. Both myself and my awesome team of playtesters agree: Release Version IV is bringing out the full potential of Enter The Backrooms. Thank you to everyone who has supported the development of this update, and have fun with all the new features.
