The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A fictional research organization explores a seemingly endless maze of empty office rooms and hallways in another dimension. The series is presented as found footage from their expeditions into this strange space.

What happens
Backrooms is a science fiction analog horror web series created by Kane Parsons, based on the "Backrooms" creepypasta. Presented largely as found footage, the series follows a fictional organization called the Async Research Institute, whose scientists explore an extradimensional space consisting of large, mostly vacant and interconnected indoor complexes. The series consists of 24 episodes uploaded to the video-sharing platform YouTube. Parsons posted the first episode of the series, "The Backrooms (Found Footage)", on January 7, 2022. The series went viral, receiving tens of millions of views and a positive critical reception. A film adaptation directed by Parsons and distributed by A24 was released in 2026.
