New Cleaners, welcome to AXIOM Corporation.
[This guide has been prepared for Cleaners awaiting their first deployment.] 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.
Hub Center
Armory
Medical Bay
Shooting Stand
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.
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.
A single unprepared Cleaner can reduce the entire team's chances of survival.
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.
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.
AXIOM accepts no responsibility for facility damage caused by weapons testing outside the designated Firing Range.
All personnel must brace for impact.
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.)
Perform one final check of your equipment, assigned Cleaner, and team readiness before entering the elevator.
AXIOM is currently cataloging multiple coordinates within the Backrooms.
Your operations will primarily take place in the following zones.
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.
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.
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.

The Backroom Cleaners Closed Beta is scheduled for late August. Request access to the Closed Beta through the Steam store page and follow the latest operation updates.
Familiarize yourself with the facility procedures before your first deployment.
The next orientation guide will introduce the threats Cleaners may encounter during their operations.
