Protocol L0-V3D Backrooms
A downloadable game
[This project and itch.io page is currently WIP. Thumbnail, screenshots, and more info will be added soon.]
Your name is Clark. You are a researcher tasked with studying a strange phenomenon that manifests itself as endless empty rooms and hallways, in a seven year long research project known as Project Backrooms. You know that the Backrooms is a dangerous place full of unknown entities and abnormalities, so you place yourself in charge of patrolling the place and stopping any entities from attacking your coworkers.
But what do you do when one of your coworkers fall in love with one of the entities?
This game is currently a demo, made for Zack Jam by Catsket.
The game is also very incomplete, missing things like a title screen, thumbnail, and certain scenes. Unfortunately i was not able to make these in time for the game jam, these will be added later.
This game is also part of my Let Me Remind You series. It's a series of games about nostalgia, art, and liminal spaces, featuring a mysterious but dangerous entity known as Zecharias, who resides in the Backrooms and is obsessed with any human he sees as his muse.
You can play the other games in the series here:

Features in the full game will include:
- About 1 hour gameplay
- Multiple choices
- 8 endings
Music by Zack Valance and A Tape Full of Mistakes .

This is so interesting! I'm curious with this tidbit "But what do you do when one of your coworkers fall in love with one of the entities?" Does that mean our MC is not the object of affections of Zecharias but is instead an unfortunate person trying to survive the entity's plan? Though, based on the image shown I think that's Clark but I can't be fully sure.
Despite that, I love the set up, things feel more fleshed out story wise and the placeholders that are put in really add to the feel and atmosphere. I love the way you narrated the story of the Backrooms because it's a very used topic for shits and giggles but you handled it pretty well. I imagine it would be disorienting to see the colorful and out of place Zecharias among the beige and yellow walls of the Backrooms.
Amazing job here!
