About NOCLIP

NOCLIP is a found-footage exploration of the Backrooms — the endless, wrong, half-lit spaces you fall into when the world clips out from under you. There is no score, no timer, no enemy to beat. There is a camera, a wanderer, and a building that does not end. The wanderer is you — you hold the controls and get lost on purpose.

The name is the premise. To noclip is to pass through a wall that should have stopped you — to end up somewhere you were never meant to be, in geometry that was never meant to be seen from the inside.

Everything you see is shot through a failing camcorder: scanlines, tape wobble, chroma bleed, a blinking REC dot in the corner, a battery slowly dying. That is a deliberate choice, and it follows one rule —

the damage is in the camera, not the world.

The Backrooms themselves are rendered clean. The grain, the blur, the compression artifacts, the signal dropouts — all of it lives in the lens and the tape, never baked into the walls. It is the difference between a dirty room and a dirty recording of a clean one, and it is what makes the space feel found rather than built.

NOCLIP runs in the browser on a Three.js WebGPU renderer with post-processing authored in TSL — the camcorder look is a shader chain, not a texture. The levels are deterministic, seeded, procedurally generated: the same seed always builds the same building, which is also what lets every player in a shared session walk identical halls. Multiplayer runs over a custom WebSocket relay — clients simulate their own movement and the server relays the shared world.
