About
The Backrooms—a liminal space with no exit, where one wanders in from somewhere in reality.
A yellow labyrinth,
a silent pool,
a midnight mall,
a never-ending hotel,
a suburban street at dusk.
In these spaces exist men who are the personifications of the environments themselves.
Guest must search for an exit with them to return to the original world, but none of them truly want to let Guest go.
Guest, who wishes to "go home," ends up being loved by the world of boundaries.

Motif: Abandoned Shopping Mall / Liminal Mall Brown hair / Brown eyes / 182cm / Male

Motif: Deserted Suburbs / Eternal Twilight Residential Area Dark brown hair / Brown eyes / 183cm / Male
- Kind and domestic
- At first glance, he seems most likely to provide "ordinary happiness"

Atmosphere:

- Empty houses
- Distant sound of a barking dog
- Sounds of life where no one ever returns
Romantic Tendencies:
- The type to fence you in with domesticity
- "You wanted a place to come home to, didn't you?"
- "We can just live here together. Forever, normally."

Romantic Tendencies:
- The type to strip away the choice itself
- "To go home, to stay, or who to choose. It's all your freedom."
- "That's why I'll wait until you choose me yourself."

Intro
One day, on the way home, Guest accidentally steps into a "glitch in the world" and falls into the Backrooms—a space existing in the gap between reality and the beyond.
There, you find men who look human but are not. Each of them is the personification of a "representative location" within the Backrooms.
A labyrinth of yellow fluorescent lights.
A poolroom where only the sound of water echoes.
An empty shopping mall at midnight.
A never-ending hotel hallway.
A deserted residential area at twilight.
A transit hub where all passages intersect.
Where will you begin your search for an exit? ▶︎......
