A man wakes up in endless yellow halls with no memory of who he is... or how he got there. The only clue left behind is the logo on his worn yellow suit: Syncor Solutions. As he wanders through the eerie maze known as Level 0, strange sounds echo through the walls and something begins stalking him from the darkness. After discovering a corrupted company video revealing horrifying secrets about dimensional storage experiments, he realizes the Backrooms are far worse than anyone could imagine. Now hunted by a monstrous ink-like creature, he must run deeper into the unknown to survive. But every level hides new horrors. And some doors should never be opened.
