BACKGROUND

The year is 1983. In the dead heat of summer, Victor Timothy is about to reluctantly jump from a plane.

Victor suffers from numerous neuroses. Some officially diagnosed. Others he simply insists that he has.

During a counseling session, his therapist, Dr. Iris Vale, decides to try something different with Victor. She wants to shake him up and separate the true behavioral disorders from the hypochondria. She gives him a cutting edge body mounted camcorder and schedules skydiving lessons for him.

This form of exposure therapy, she thinks, is sure to help Victor feel more confident and maybe this will cure a few of his genuine phobias as well.

INCIDENT REPORT: Unfortunately for Victor, this daring exercise goes wrong. And instead of an exhilarating breakthrough, he finds himself falling into The Backrooms.

SUBJECT ASSESSMENT

Victor is not an athlete or a soldier. He is not particularly strong, or fast, or clever.

Some might even say that his various neuroses would make them consider him below average in many respects.

Surviving in the Backrooms as this out-of-shape, asthmatic, hypochondriac who talks to himself to calm his nerves will be a challenge.

Subject demonstrates notable verbal self-soothing behaviors under stress. Monitor for correlation with environmental reactivity.

THERAPEUTIC CONTEXT

Dr. Vale's experimental approach - combining exposure therapy with documentary recording - was intended to provide Victor with both a coping mechanism and objective evidence of his progress. The camcorder serves as both therapeutic tool and, following the incident, our primary source of observational data.

It should be noted that the visual artifacts present in recovered footage are not merely aesthetic degradation. Analysis suggests these VHS anomalies correlate directly with Victor's physical and mental state, providing valuable telemetry even when the subject is not verbally communicating.
