The Backrooms
The Backrooms is a collaborative fiction that originated with an anonymous post in 2019 and was developed by the community writers of the Backrooms Fandom and Backrooms Wikidot sites. Red Polygon S.T. did not create it and does not claim to own it.

Open source
Green Engine is built on open source work by other people. The full dependency list with licence texts ships with the engine. Where a licence requires attribution or the distribution of its terms, those terms travel with every build.
The site itself sets Noto Sans and Fira Code, both used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
Content on this site
Screenshots on this site are real-time captures from Green Engine, taken from work in progress. Nothing shown is a target render, a pre-rendered cinematic, or a mock-up, and none of it has post-processing applied after capture. It is also not final. What ships will differ.
