Into the Deep End
Steamyes
Into the Deep End is a psychological horror vr exploration game inspired by the backrooms or more specifically the poolrooms which is apart of the backrooms.
Into the deep end is set in a variation of a sublevel of the poolrooms known as "the deep end" or better known on the wiki as level 37.1. this variation of the "the deep end" does not contain the Hydrolitis Plague which lore wise makes the level unexplorable. you are free to explore the liminal spaces of the deep end and see if there's any new undiscovered sublevels of this sublevel! (wait would that make it a sub-sub level?)

rather than taking place on a static premade map like many other backrooms games. Into the deep end is set in procedurally generated map to really explore the concept of "procedural infinity" whilst adding in your occasional scares to keep you on your toes.
whilst there is no fixed progression or "way forwards" the overarching task is to wander the liminal rooms of "The Deep End" in search of an exit to a safe level of the backrooms. where you will meet up with your research team to document what you saw in the deep end
