The Backrooms (also known as the Complex (more commonly) or Hallways by members of ASYNC) is a parralel dimension consisting of ginormous interconnected complexes of segmented and mostly non-unique rooms, hallways and doorways. It does however, consist of several unique looking areas, but the largest area borrows the appearance of an empty or unfinished office building with yellow wallpaper, tiled ceilings, and buzzing fluorescent lights.

The Backrooms is dotted with multiple different "Null Zones", which are small areas in which the Backrooms and the “real world” are able to connect. It is possible to fall out of reality and into the Backrooms through these Null Zones within the “real world.” The Backrooms is shown to not abide by the rules of the real world in some cases. Time travel into the future or the past is sometimes shown to be possible, at least inside or near these Null Zones.

The topography of the Backrooms varies from area to area, but all areas in the Backrooms have a heavy resemblance to areas in the real world. There are many objects created by the Backrooms; these objects vary and sometimes fit in with the area where they are found. Noises with no source can be heard throughout the Backrooms, sometimes distorted and unable to be comprehended. The walls in the Backrooms are distorted in various sections, bending and twisting in unnatural ways. All areas of the Backrooms are in some way seamlessly connected, either by regular doorways and hallways or unorthodox ways such as holes in the floor and walls.

Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System

The Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System, also known as the Threshold, The Machine, or The Door, is a device used by the ASYNC Research Institute as a doorway between the real world and the Backrooms. The device functions by making use of the Backrooms' Nullzones, which are theorized by Async to be natural connections between the Backrooms and reality.

An early prototype was tested in the Oak Ridge National laboratory on May 10th, 1982 under the supervision of Philip R. Heymann. The machine consisted of eight electromagnetic field generators directed on a single point. A small metal ball was held in the middle, and after the machine started; a bright light surrounded the ball and the ball disappeared as it was presumably sent to the Backrooms.

After that initial success, the project was taken over by ASYNC Research Institute and scaled up to the size of a doorway for extravehicular activities. On July 2nd 1988, the Threshold was tested for the third time. Publication of the experiment has yet been released during the time. Ivan Beck states he intends to offer a solution to all current and future storage, by opening the gateway to the Backrooms. For the sixth test, ASYNC Research Institute had to supply enough energy to the Threshold so that it could open, so they ported High-precision beams to monitor the vibration exceeding from the Threshold opening. The Threshold was finally opened on the sixth test on October 17th, 1989. This caused the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.

Ivan Beck: Ivan Beck is the Vice Director of the ASYNC Research Institute and presumably the one who proposed the idea for the Backrooms. He held a press conference in April of 1988 where he talked about the new project. (Aka the Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System. He described the then undiscovered dimension as a solution to all current and future storage needs. He is very serious about the Project and will not abandon it no matter the cost. Not much is known about him, although there is a theory that he is the actual Director of ASYNC, he presents himself as the Vice-Director to avoid certain forms of accountability. He was born in the year 1931 in Karlovy Vary, he apparently has memory loss because of a Solar Flare that was happening during the same time as the beginning of the experiments, aka in 1972. That event led him to losing vision in one eye.

You are can choose to be someone who no-clipped into the Backrooms via a Nullzone or if you are a member of ASYNC
