[Facility Guide for New Cleaners]

New Cleaners, welcome to AXIOM Corporation.

[c] [This guide has been prepared for Cleaners awaiting their first deployment.] [/c] Entering an operation without understanding the facility's primary systems and basic procedures may severely compromise both mission performance and your chances of returning safely. Review the following information before preparing for deployment.

Operation Preparation Facility

You are currently located inside an AXIOM forward facility built to prepare operatives and provide access to the Backrooms.

Here, you can review operation zones, switch your assigned Cleaner, and freely test firearms and skills before deployment.

Once all preparations are complete, the facility elevator will transport your team to the designated operation coordinates.

01. Mission Console

The Mission Console allows you to review the destination and mission details for your next operation. Check the readiness of every team member and confirm that all necessary equipment has been prepared before starting the mission.

02. Cleaner Selection Area

Each Cleaner has a distinct role and set of abilities.

Use this station inside the Hub to switch your selected Cleaner and review each Cleaner’s abilities and combat role.

The roles required may vary depending on the operation zone and your team composition. Coordinate your assignments with the rest of the team before beginning the mission.

03. Shooting Range

The Shooting Range allows you to freely test the firearms and skills issued to your Cleaner.

When receiving a new weapon or learning how to operate an unfamiliar Cleaner, we strongly recommend testing them here before entering an actual operation.

04. Fixed-Coordinate Noclip Elevator

[c]All personnel must brace for impact.[/c]

Once preparations are complete, Cleaners will enter the Backrooms through the Noclip Elevator.

This system was developed using noclip technology secured by AXIOM and is designed to deploy Cleaners directly to designated operation coordinates.

Once the elevator has been activated, the operation cannot be canceled for personal reasons.

(All personal matters, including restroom use, must be handled before boarding.)

[c]Perform one final check of your equipment, assigned Cleaner, and team readiness before entering the elevator.[/c]

Currently Confirmed Operation Zones

AXIOM is currently cataloging multiple coordinates within the Backrooms.

Your operations will primarily take place in the following zones.

a. Lobby

A zone composed of seemingly endless guest rooms and corridors.

Despite its familiar appearance, its infinite interior spaces and hostile elements operate nothing like those of an ordinary hotel.

Visibility is limited throughout much of the area. Stay close to your team and exercise caution around every corner.

b. Opera

A vast space containing a long-silent stage, rows of empty seats, and the remains of performance facilities.

The Opera contains more open areas than the Hotel, but be prepared for entities approaching from every direction across its expansive spaces.

Remain alert to every sound and movement during the operation.

Prepare for Your Next Operation.

This guide has introduced the AXIOM facility and the basic procedures required before deployment.

During actual operations, you will encounter hostile entities and use equipment suited to each situation to confront the threats within the Backrooms.

▼ Watch the video below on YouTube for a closer look.
