Entity (Number Unknown) – Cable Monster or The Bacteria
Players will run into this creature during the first level. A large black mass made of cables (hence the name) this monster will relentlessly hunt you down once he spots you.

Entity 3 – The Smilers
True to their name The Smilers wait in the darkest corners of the backrooms. Starring at them directly or getting in too close will lead to certain death. All you have to do to beat them is look away and break the line of sight. Walk close to the corner and use the room to your advantage once you spot their devilish grins.
Entity 8 – The Hound
These large creatures which eerily human faces hunt for players in the dark of the backrooms. They like to move through vents and jump down on unsuspecting players, instantly killing them.

Entity 10 – The Skin Stealers
These zombie-like entities roam the office space and parking garage of the game looking to feed on the dead. Any contact with them will lead to an instant kill so try and avoid them at all costs.

Entity 25 – The Rat
