Rope is trapped in the mysterious Backrooms, where he and his companions explore bizarre levels while relying on an online community called the Backrooms Gallery for survival.

But the deeper they go, the stranger the truth becomes. The Backrooms are actually part of a virtual world called Project: World, and Rope is an Error NPC who cannot escape when the simulation ends.

Then, in 2045, the Gallery’s Main Moderator awakens in the real world and discovers that the Backrooms may be far more real than anyone thought.
