Documented Phenomena & Mission Parameters
The Backrooms are not static. Events occur throughout your journey - some tied to specific levels, others appearing randomly. Objectives guide your progress toward escape or deeper understanding.
These events are tied to the main narrative and progression:
Follow the trail of Dr. Navarro, an Async physicist trapped in the Backrooms. His scattered logs guide you toward the Phase Emitter and ultimately to The Heart of Electrics - a hub that may hold the key to escape.
Answer ringing phones throughout the Backrooms. Most connect to A-SYNC's robotic monitoring system, recording your stats and triangulating your coordinates. After 7 A-SYNC calls, exit doors reroute to the Threshold facility. Collect the A-SYNC Memo and enter the escape command.
A multi-stage encounter with the entity known as Mother. Beginning with her children's pleas and escalating to a confrontation with the entity herself. (Side questline)
These events can occur unpredictably across multiple levels:
The sky turns crimson and danger intensifies. In The Playgrounds, Mother's Fingers - black tornadoes that form a massive hand - may descend to hunt you.
Additional random event details will be added here.
Complex questlines requiring multiple steps to complete. These objectives span locations and may lead to major endings or permanent world changes.
Follow the research trail of Dr. Navarro, an A-SYNC physicist who was trapped here before you. Discover his Phase Emitter technology, find The Heart of Electrics, and collect all 7 modules to power the Gateway.
A-SYNC is searching for you. Throughout the Backrooms, phones ring with robotic voices recording your stats. Answer 7 A-SYNC calls to allow them to triangulate your dimensional coordinates. A phone icon tracks your progress. Once coordinates are locked, exit doors reroute to the A-SYNC Threshold facility.
Answer ringing phones. A-SYNC calls play robotic stat recordings. Other calls may be... disturbing.
Track your A-SYNC call count via the phone icon on screen.
After 7 calls, enter any exit door to be rerouted to the Threshold.
Follow the arrow tape to the computer terminal. Collect the A-SYNC Memo if needed.
Enter the command from the memo to open the threshold and escape.
A questline involving the Aberrant Daemon Mother (Manka) and her legion of transformed wanderers. Collect doll pieces, infiltrate her castle, and choose whether to empower her or purge her from this domain forever. (Side questline)
There's always something happening in the walls...
