A store stockroom. Part of the back wall keeps flickering to yellow wallpaper. Walk through it, and the rooms go on: wallpaper, damp carpet, buzzing lights, the hum.
Inspired by Rimrooms: Async Industries. The field logs and survey markers in the game are read from the mod's own data files, and follow it as it updates.

HOW IT PLAYS
What is in the build today
THE STOCKROOM
An ordinary store back room: shelves, boxes, a locked door. Search the boxes. Part of the back wall keeps flickering to yellow wallpaper.
LEVEL 0
A grand hall, and a maze of yellow rooms off it: doorways, corridors, loops that lead you back. The same layout every visit. Wallpaper, damp carpet, buzzing panels, some dead, some flickering.
LEVEL 1
A dark concrete garage with pillars, and more floors of it below.
ASYNC INDUSTRIES
Outposts left in the rooms: crates, a camera on a tripod, a company sign. Their field logs are on the floor. Their survey markers are in the crates, colour-coded by meaning: route home, cleared, danger, supply cache, unexplored lead.
EXIT DOORS
Rare doors standing on their own. Walk through under the EXIT sign and you go up a level. Walk through the unmarked back and you go deeper.
NOTEBOOK
Every note you pick up goes in it, grouped by what it is part of: anomaly reports, people found, room surveys. It shows what is still out there.
