Firenut Games has officially announced that Backrooms Level X, the atmospheric first-person survival horror game, will launch digitally for Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop worldwide on February 19, 2026.
Developed by solo creator José Manuel Conesa Hernández, Backrooms Level X draws inspiration from the infamous 1986 Albuquerque incident, a mysterious event chronicled on a lost VHS tape that has fueled urban legends and creepypasta stories in horror communities. In Backrooms Level X, players find themselves trapped in a sprawling, nightmarish labyrinth—an environment teeming with unsettling corridors, flickering lights, and terrifying entities that haunt every shadow.
As you navigate this chilling maze, the core gameplay revolves around piecing together a cryptic narrative, solving intricate environmental puzzles, and relying on pure instinct to survive unseen horrors lurking at every turn. This Nintendo Switch release brings more than just the base game; it comes bundled with Backrooms Level X's most recent free PC content update.
This upgrade introduces new labyrinthine areas, inventive gameplay mechanics, and added challenges, alongside optimizations and quality-of-life improvements specifically designed for console players.
According to Firenut Games, players can expect: - Expansive Exploration and Storytelling: Uncover an array of secrets and experience a compelling narrative set within unique, surreal environments. - Atmospheric Horror: Intense and oppressive soundscapes, paired with haunting visuals, maintain a constant sense of unease and dread. - Puzzles and Survival Elements: Tackle inventive brainteasers and survive relying solely on your wits. - An Expansive World: Traverse 15 interconnected levels, each with evolving dangers, hidden surprises, and mysterious new storylines. - Gravity-Bending Gameplay: Special corridors allow you to walk on ceilings, offering unique puzzle-solving opportunities and expanding exploration tactics. - Monstrous Boss Encounters: Outsmart powerful entities waiting in the shadows for those brave enough to attempt escape. - Enhanced Console Experience: The Switch version includes both the latest content update and optimization enhancements for smooth, immersive gameplay. Backrooms Level X marks another notable addition to the Nintendo Switch’s growing catalogue of indie horror titles, offering a comprehensive experience for veteran genre enthusiasts and new players alike.
The digital launch on the Nintendo eShop underscores Firenut Games’ commitment to bringing innovative and atmospheric survival horror to a broader audience, with continued post-launch support and community engagement.
