Remember your feelings when you first touched your parent's videotape, the 4:3 picture format, the noise on the screen and something very interesting that lies ahead. But here the story is about something else: a creepy experiment leads a hapless soldier to Backrooms, where he has to go through several levels, meet dangerous creatures and try to get back. Explore, hide, listen to every suspicious sound, especially footsteps.... Most importantly, survive.(Storyline via IGDB)
