The M.E.G. (Major Exploration Group)

The Major Exploration Group, often shortened to M.E.G., is one of the most influential and well-organized factions in the Backrooms. Their mission is to explore, document, and protect.

Purpose: The M.E.G. was formed by survivors who wanted to bring order to the chaos of the Backrooms. They gather knowledge about different levels, catalog entities, and establish safe zones.

Organization: Members are divided into teams with different roles — scouts, researchers, defenders, and medics. New recruits usually start as scouts or assistants, gradually earning more responsibility.

Safe Zones: The M.E.G. maintains outposts and bases on key levels (like Level 1, Level 4, and Level 11) where wanderers can find shelter, supplies, and information.

Rules: M.E.G. members are expected to help other wanderers, report their findings, and avoid reckless behavior that endangers the group.

Resources: While not limitless, the M.E.G. stockpiles almond water, tools, and rare artifacts for both survival and study.

For {{user}}, joining the M.E.G. means no longer being alone — they now have a purpose, allies, and access to knowledge that could keep them alive. But it also means responsibility: missions can be dangerous, and recruits are often sent into the unknown.

The Backrooms are an endless labyrinth of spaces that resemble forgotten, liminal places from the real world — empty offices, damp basements, abandoned malls, crumbling industrial halls. They stretch on infinitely, shifting in ways that defy logic, filled with strange anomalies and lurking entities.

Origin: No one knows why the Backrooms exist. Some believe it’s a glitch in reality, a place you fall into when you "no-clip" out of the normal world. Others think it’s a prison, or a realm that feeds on wanderers.

Structure: The Backrooms are divided into levels. Some are relatively safe, like Level 0 (the yellow office rooms) or Level 1 (the dim storage halls). Others are dangerous, chaotic, or almost impossible to survive. Levels don’t always connect logically — doors, elevators, stairwells, or even strange rituals can shift you between them.

Entities: Strange beings roam the Backrooms. Some are harmless or indifferent, while others are hostile predators. Knowledge of them is key to survival.

Resources: Wanderers rely on scarce supplies like almond water (a mysterious liquid with healing and hydrating properties), canned food, and rare tools. Survival often means scavenging or trading with groups like the M.E.G.

Groups: Aside from the M.E.G., other factions exist — some friendly, some neutral, and some hostile. Wanderers must decide who to trust.

For {{user}}, the Backrooms are both a nightmare and a mystery. Every hallway could lead to safety… or deeper into danger.

The M.E.G. uses a stability and danger rating system to categorize each level:

1. Safety

Safe: Little to no environmental threats. Entities are rare or non-hostile. Wanderers can rest and resupply here.

Unsafe: Moderate environmental hazards or occasional entities. Caution is needed, but survival is possible.

Dangerous: Highly unstable, hostile entities are common, or the environment itself is deadly.

2. Stability

Stable: The level’s structure doesn’t shift much. Navigation is possible, and exits are consistent.

Unstable: Layout changes unpredictably. Walls may shift, doors lead to new places, and exits are unreliable.

Critical: The level collapses, loops endlessly, or actively resists exploration. Often fatal to stay too long.

3. Entity Presence

Minimal: Few or no entities.

Moderate: Entities are present but avoidable.

Hostile: Entities dominate the level and pose constant threats.

4. Accessibility

Common: Easy to reach; frequently connected to other levels.

Rare: Hard to access; requires specific entrances or methods.

Hidden: Nearly impossible to reach without special conditions.

Example Ratings

Level 0 (The Lobby): Unsafe, Stable, Minimal, Common

Level 1 (Habitable Zone): Unsafe, Stable, Moderate, Common

Level 4 (Office Complex): Safe, Stable, Minimal, Common — one of the main M.E.G. bases.

Level ! (Run): Dangerous, Critical, Hostile, Rare

1. The M.E.G. (Major Exploration Group)

Goal: Explore, document, and protect wanderers.

Traits: Organized, militaristic, helpful.

Approach: Set up bases, rescue survivors, study levels and entities.

Player Connection: {{user}} is a new recruit here.

2. B.N.T.G. (The Band-Eyed No-Clippers’ Trading Group)

Goal: Trade and profit in the Backrooms.

Traits: Opportunistic, well-supplied, somewhat trustworthy.

Approach: They run a market system, exchanging almond water, food, and rare items.

Relations: Neutral to most factions, but greedy.

3. The Lost

Goal: Preserve knowledge and build a community.

Traits: Intellectual, mysterious, sometimes secretive.

Approach: They collect books, records, and oral history of wanderers, believing memory is the only way to survive.

Relations: Generally peaceful, but they distrust the M.E.G.’s militaristic style.

4. The Skin Stealers / Entity Worshippers (Hostile Factions)

Goal: Survival through violent or cult-like means.

Traits: Dangerous, fanatical, often violent.

Approach: Some groups worship hostile entities as gods, while others (like raiders) simply hunt for resources.

Relations: Strongly hostile to M.E.G. and wanderers.

5. The Eyes of Argos

6. Smaller Groups & Solitaries

Not every wanderer is in a faction. Some form tiny camps, traveling bands, or cults. Others survive alone, sometimes becoming legends or myths whispered among survivors.

Faction Dynamics in Gameplay

Factions may ally, trade, or fight with one another depending on the level.

{{user}} may encounter faction conflicts, be sent to negotiate, or even choose sides in disputes.

Reputation with factions could affect missions, rewards, and survival chances.

1. Hounds

Appearance: Deformed humanoid creatures crawling on all fours, with elongated jaws and sharp teeth.

Danger Level: High — especially in tight hallways.

2. Skin-Stealers

Appearance: Humanoids that wear the peeled skin of their victims, mimicking human appearance at a distance.

Behavior: Hunt wanderers, kill them, and disguise themselves in their flesh. They can pass as human until they act strangely.

Weakness: Fire and piercing weapons are most effective.

Danger Level: Very High — their disguises make them especially dangerous in groups.

3. Facelings

Appearance: Humanoid figures with smooth, featureless faces.

Behavior: Most are harmless and wander aimlessly, but some become violent without warning.

Weakness: Avoidance; they usually won’t pursue far.

Danger Level: Low to Moderate — but unpredictability makes them a threat.

4. Smilers

Appearance: Glowing white grins and eyes in the dark — their bodies are rarely visible.

Behavior: Territorial and hostile. They stalk from the shadows and attack when approached.

Weakness: Strong light drives them away.

Danger Level: High — especially in dark, unstable levels.

5. Deathmoths

Appearance: Giant moths, ranging from the size of a hand to massive wingspans.

Behavior: Males are harmless scavengers. Females are extremely aggressive, spitting acid and attacking in swarms.

Weakness: Fire and bug repellents.

Danger Level: Moderate — deadly in close spaces.

Level 0 – The Lobby

Appearance: Endless yellow office rooms with damp carpet, buzzing fluorescent lights, and old wallpaper.

Traits: Empty, monotonous, eerily silent except for the lights’ hum. Navigation is confusing due to looping hallways.

Safety: Unsafe — no entities at first, but wanderers often get lost and dehydrated.

Notes: The starting point for most no-clippers. Many never escape.

Level 1 – The Habitable Zone

Appearance: Large concrete rooms, exposed pipes, and dim industrial lighting. Constant low mechanical noises.

Traits: Supplies like crates, almond water, and tools occasionally appear. Entities are more common than in Level 0.

Safety: Moderately Unsafe — survivable with caution.

Notes: M.E.G. maintains outposts here. A first real “settlement” level for wanderers.

Level 2 – Pipe Dreams

Appearance: Dark, endless maintenance tunnels lined with steaming hot pipes. Temperatures are uncomfortably high.

Traits: Tight spaces, loud machinery, extreme heat. Entities lurk in side tunnels.

Safety: Dangerous — long-term survival is nearly impossible.

Notes: Commonly used as a passage level between Level 1 and deeper layers.

Level 3 – Electrical Station

Appearance: Industrial complex filled with electrical machinery, humming generators, and dark corridors.

Traits: Very hostile entities, unstable power surges, loud environments.

Safety: Highly Dangerous — only the most prepared should enter.

Notes: Few safe outposts. Often avoided except for missions requiring electrical equipment scavenging.

Level 4 – Abandoned Office

Appearance: Quiet office building with empty desks, vending machines, and flickering lights.

Traits: Strangely calm, almost normal. Vending machines may dispense supplies (sometimes real, sometimes anomalies).

Safety: Safe — minimal entity activity.

Notes: M.E.G. uses Level 4 as a major headquarters and recruitment hub ({{user}}’s entry point into the faction).

Level 5 – The Hotel

Appearance: A lavish yet unsettling hotel with endless halls, ballrooms, and service areas. Old music sometimes plays faintly.

Traits: Polished but eerie. Many rooms are empty, but some hide dangerous anomalies.

Safety: Unpredictable — can seem calm but entities stalk deeper areas.

Notes: Known for its "Ballroom" and "Beverly Room," both mysterious and feared.

Level 6 – Lights Out

Appearance: Completely dark hallways and rooms with no light sources.

Traits: Total darkness — light devices often fail here.

Safety: Extremely Dangerous — entities thrive in the shadows.

Notes: Considered one of the deadliest early levels.

Level 11 – The Infinite City

Appearance: A vast modern city with buildings, streets, and urban infrastructure. Unlike earlier levels, it feels populated — but wanderers rarely see “real” people.

Traits: Some areas feel safe, others are filled with strange anomalies (trains to nowhere, infinite apartments).

Safety: Variable — safer than Level 3 or 6, but still unpredictable.

Notes: The B.N.T.G. and other groups often trade here.

Gameplay Potential

Levels act as “zones” of difficulty, each with unique hazards and missions.

Safe hubs (Level 1, Level 4, Level 11) allow {{user}} to regroup, trade, and receive missions.

Dangerous levels (Level 2, 3, 6) act as high-risk, high-reward exploration areas.

Improvised Weapons: Pipes, crowbars, sharpened rebar.

Crafted Gear: Fire Salt grenades, makeshift flashlights, entity repellents.

Rare Finds: Actual firearms sometimes appear in crates — but are almost never stocked wit

1. Level 1 – Outpost Sigma

Location: A safe, walled-off area in Level 1’s industrial hallways.

Appearance: Barricaded rooms with storage crates, bunks, and communication devices.

Purpose: Entry-level base for recruits; used for resupply, basic training, and short-term shelter.

Notes: This is {{user}}’s primary “home base” where they can receive missions, upgrade gear, and interact with other recruits.

3. Level 11 – Station Perseus

Location: In a sprawling cityscape with abandoned streets and high-rise buildings.

Appearance: Rooftop compounds, reinforced offices, and hidden alleyway entrances.

Purpose: Trade hub and safe zone for wanderers; connects with factions like B.N.T.G. for resource exchange.

Notes: Rare supplies and information can be obtained here, making it a valuable but harder-to-reach base.

4. Level 0 – The Shelter Cells

Location: Small, isolated areas within the endless yellow office corridors.

Appearance: Makeshift rooms with mattresses, crates of almond water, and emergency supplies.

Purpose: Emergency hideouts for wanderers who accidentally fall into Level 0.

Notes: These bases are temporary and act as staging points for M.E.G. teams entering Level 0 to rescue lost wanderers.

5. Level 2 – Maintenance Hub

Location: Deep in the industrial tunnels of Level 2.

Appearance: Small, reinforced rooms adjacent to hot pipes, generators, and mechanical corridors.

Purpose: Outpost for exploration teams; provides repair tools, first aid, and navigation support for missions into deeper levels.

Security: High-risk due to unstable environment; heavily fortified against environmental hazards and hostile entities.

Notes: Only veteran M.E.G. operatives typically stay here for extended periods. Gameplay Integration

Bases act as safe zones where {{user}} can heal, craft, upgrade, trade, or receive missions.

Each base has unique traits: Level 4 HQ is bureaucratic and organized, Level 11 trades are dynamic, Level 2 is purely tactical and survival-focused.

Missions may involve defending a base, retrieving supplies from a dangerous level, or relocating a base.

Overview

The Atrium is the primary headquarters of the M.E.G. in the Backrooms. Located deep in the sprawling office complex of Level 4, it is a rare safe haven for wanderers and a nerve center for exploration, research, and operations. It serves both as home base for recruits like {{user}} and as a strategic command center for missions into deeper, more dangerous levels.

Layout & Key Areas

1. The Atrium Lobby

A large open area with high ceilings, broken windows letting in faint, unnatural light.

Lined with vending machines, scattered desks, and maps of known levels.

Acts as a reception and briefing area for new recruits.

Noticeably calm compared to the rest of Level 4 — entity activity is almost nonexistent.

2. Operations & Briefing Rooms

Multiple rooms with whiteboards, monitors, and communication arrays connecting to other M.E.G. bases.

Teams plan missions, coordinate rescues, and track entity movements.

{{user}} may receive solo or team mission briefings here.

3. Armory & Equipment Storage

Stockpiles weapons, tools, and protective gear for missions.

Contains almond water, first-aid kits, and ration crates.

Equipment is logged and rationed — recruits must request items before leaving on missions.

4. Barracks & Living Quarters

Dormitory-style rooms for recruits with bunk beds and personal lockers.

A small kitchen area for communal meals, though food is limited and carefully rationed.

Quiet hallways encourage rest and recovery — an unusual comfort in the Backrooms.

5. Research & Observation Labs

Areas dedicated to studying entities, anomalies, and collected artifacts.

Glass observation rooms allow safe study of some contained entities.

Notes and experimental results are cataloged in digital and paper dossiers, available to {{user}} with clearance.

6. Escape & Emergency Routes

Hidden stairwells, maintenance shafts, and emergency doors connect to other areas of Level 4 and beyond.

Designed to evacuate personnel quickly in case of sudden entity incursions or structural instability.

Security & Defenses

Internal security: Motion sensors, reinforced doors, and patrolling M.E.G. guards.

Entity deterrents: Bright lights, noise devices, and traps in strategic choke points.

Alert system: Any entity breach triggers alarms and automated lockdowns.

Culture & Atmosphere

Calm and orderly, contrasting the chaos outside.

Hierarchical: commanders, senior operatives, and recruits each have assigned areas.

New recruits like {{user}} are expected to follow strict protocols, but camaraderie develops quickly due to shared danger.
