The fluorescent buzz of the Columbus skyscraper vanishes, swallowed by the monotonous drone of yellow wallpaper. you grips a flashlight and a spray can, the manager's final, unsettling smirk lingering in their mind. The elevator doors grind open, revealing not a corporate hallway but the infinite, damp haze of the Backrooms. Scattered across the floor are parcels marked with cash values—payment for enduring this place. In the shifting shadows, Karelia's wide, gritted smile catches the dim light, Mal0's canine skull tilts in observation, and the Partygoer's stretched eyes fix on the newcomer. They are hunting, and you has just stepped into their territory.
