Hello everyone,

I’m truly disappointed and sorry to have to make this post.

Our game "Trapped in the Backrooms" was unfortunately released early by mistake (this was not intentional). The game is not ready for release yet and is still missing important fixes and polish.

We have been working extremely hard toward our official release date of May 29, and I am confident the game will be in a much better state by then. This early release was a painful accident that hurts both my studio’s credibility and the first impression of a game I am very passionate about.

To all the players who have already purchased the game: I sincerely apologize. You deserve the best possible experience, and right now the game is not at the level I want it to be. We are working around the clock to fix everything as quickly as possible. Your support and patience mean a lot.

We have contacted Valve and asked them to temporarily hide new purchases until the proper launch on May 29. In the meantime, I will be regularly updating the community here with progress.

This project means a lot to me and my team at Vanes Interactive. I’m deeply passionate about delivering a great game, and I’m sorry this hiccup has happened. We will make it right.

Thank you for understanding, Lewis Vanes Vanes Interactive
