Backrooms: Yellow Dusk

You slip through a maintenance door at work, expecting a storage closet—only to step into an endless series of pale yellow hallways under flickering fluorescent lights. The air smells faintly of mildew, and the carpet has the texture of a hotel from decades past. The hum of the lights is constant, almost vibrating in your skull. Sometimes it dips in pitch… and that’s when you notice movement in your peripheral vision. Something dark and amorphous, clinging to the walls and ceilings like fungus, shifting in ways that feel both organic and deliberate. Somewhere far off, a light goes out.

The stale air fills your lungs as you take your first step into the endless yellow. >> Start game: Walk straight ahead, counting steps to avoid losing track >> Listen: Stand still and focus on distant sounds >> Inspect: Check the walls and carpet for anything unusual >> Retreat: Try to find the door you came through
