Hello everyone, dear liminal space lovers! The teaser for our new project, Backrooms: Rogue 0, is now live — and we wanted to share the news with you! Rogue 0 is built on the liminal/Backrooms aesthetic, but unlike Liminal Shift, it's a much faster-paced experience — and this time, the Backrooms are not empty. Creatures are waiting inside... If that sounds interesting, you can learn more on the store page — and most importantly, you can support us by adding it to your wishlist and following the game. We are endlessly grateful for all the support you've given us from the very beginning. One of

Hello everyone, First of all, I want to apologize for the delay. A lot has happened, and those who joined our Discord server (currently around 100 members) are already aware of most of the news. If you'd like to support the development, share your ideas, or just stay in the loop, feel free to join us too. So, I’ll keep this announcement brief and to the point. Unfortunately, there is no longer a team behind the project. As many of you know, NextPhase was a small group of developers. However, due to financial constraints and life circumstances, NextPhase is now a solo-dev operation. There's no

Hello everyone, First of all, we apologize for the slight delay. We have some survey results, good news, and bad news to share.

In response, the entire menu has been redesigned, and a progression system has been integrated into the game. 68% of players wanted small puzzles and actions required to progress. Based on this, Episode 2 will be much more interac
