Since Noclipped is a survival game, it needs to have a progression. And since finding a door that says “EXIT” is boring gameplay, I came up with a much different progression to any other Backrooms game

Early game

The player starts at a random room of the Backrooms YellowSpace - the spawnpoint of the Backrooms. The player is confused, learning about moving around and interacting with the world.

First things first - the player must secure their survival. This will require:

• Water
• Food
• A place to sleep
• A safe point (Restroom)

To do so in YellowSpace the player must complete multiple lines of progression, or rely on loot

Water

First, the player must find a hole in the wallpaper, revealing plaster. Then the player breaks off a piece of plaster, getting a very bad weapon. The player must use this piece of plaster to cut off a piece of wallpaper and then craft it into a bowl - the earliest liquid container. After that the player must find a broken ceiling tile and use the bowl to collect the dripping water - murky water. It’s drinkable but drinking more than 1L in a period of 2 minutes will roll for a Waterborne Disease Health/Effect/Disease system [REWORK PLAN]

There are some common sources of water among the indoor biomes of the Backrooms:

• Air vents - some vents have conditioner fluid dripping from them that can be collected by any liquid container. This yields Dirty water

Food

Food in YellowSpace is much easier to find than water - the player may find clusters of mushrooms growing in some corners of YellowSpace. They can collect a mushroom from this cluster. They may get multiple mushrooms if they break the cluster with a piece of plaster. The player must be careful to not eat rotten mushrooms.

While in YellowSpace the food is very specific, there are some universal sources of food around many places of the backrooms:

• Rats - rats run around in darker areas, primarily in Decay zones or zones with visible signs of decay in furniture or props. They are fast but can be killed easily with some form of melee weapon. Mouse traps could be crafted to catch mice passively, but over time the population in that room runs out
• Cockroaches - Cockroaches run in damp corners. The player may create cockroach traps to catch many cockroaches at once. Eating them raw causes poisoning so cooking them is required
• Woodworm infested wood - Some wooden props may be infested with woodworm AKA Common Furniture Beetle. You can notice it by the prop using a porous wood texture. Punching, throwing or breaking that prop will release the worms/larvae which then can be collected via cockroach traps
