Ryan Forger, a man who's house crumbled with him in it during a violent hurricane, finds himself being crushed under rubble. Desperately begging for escape, his chest being crushed, his lungs unable to expand, with no air to scream, pleads in his mind for a way out. Suddenly, as if something answered his prayers, he finds himself in a mundane seemingly infinite office buildings with mono-yellow wallpaper, and maddening fluorescent lights. Appearing in a strange realm known as The Backrooms, with the clothes on his back, and a book with infinite pages and pen with infinite ink. Ryan while trying to keep his sanity, and writing to keep his memories, must escape this place. Just as it seems he made progress, suddenly his account ends, and a new person picks up his pen with the same name and seemingly the same memory of the agony of that hurricane rubble.
