Your objective is simple yet terrifying: explore the Backrooms, catch the anomalies, and find a way to escape. But beware. The longer you stay, the stranger things become. The world shifts, reality bends, and the sense of being watched grows stronger. Will you push forward into the unknown, or will you turn back before it is too late?
