About the Game

Narrative-driven psychological horror game set inside a government facility researching the Backrooms, spaces where reality fractures and memory bleeds into architecture.

You play as Marco, a cybersecurity worker sent to recover lost research files after an unexplained incident. As you descend deeper into the Backrooms, familiar hallways distort, systems turn hostile, and fragments of Marco’s past begin to surface. What starts as a routine job becomes a journey through grief, memory, and the search for meaning.

Explore shifting environments, hack security systems, uncover hidden documents, and experience a story that blurs the line between reality and memory.
