Developing Enter The Backrooms has been the craziest adventure of my life thus far. The work has brought me close to people from all around the world, taught me brutal life lessons, given me a strong foundation for the road ahead, and helped me get through the recent pandemic. It is with a heavy heart that I claim this is the last major update for Enter The Backrooms. Fear not, though, I’ll remain active in the community and may even release a small update here and there. As for my life, I’m going to focus more on college and start thinking about my next game development adventure. I can’t wait to see what’s to come, and I hope some of you stick around to share the ride with me. I love you all so much and can’t begin to express my gratitude for your support. Enjoy the update, everyone!
