The Archivist is a psychological horror game set inside a research facility consumed by the Backrooms.
Play as Marco, a cybersecurity worker sent to recover classified files after an experiment goes catastrophically wrong. What should have been a routine recovery mission quickly turns into something far more disturbing as you uncover the remains of QuantumCore’s research.
The deeper you go, the less you can trust what you see. Reality begins to fracture, fragments of Marco’s past emerge within the facility, and the mission becomes a journey through grief, memory, and the search for meaning.
Hack your way through QuantumCore systems, unlock restricted areas, and uncover what they were trying to hide.
Walk through spaces that shouldn't exist. Rooms overlap, corridors connect in impossible ways, and the architecture refuses to obey reality.
The Backrooms react to your presence. Hallways shift, rooms rearrange themselves, and familiar places may not stay familiar for long.
Steam currently lists 22 Oct 2026 as the release date.
