liminals.space takes your own photos of real, everyday places (a childhood bedroom, a school corridor, a dead
mall), extracts memory anchors from them, and builds new Backrooms levels where those fragments return wrong. You upload exactly 2 photos,
pay $4.99 once, and the AI rebuilds both rooms in full resolution for you to download. No account. No
subscription. Your photos are deleted once the images generate.
2 photos · $4.99 · no account · your photos aren't saved.
Step 1: Upload your photos
Start by finding 2 photos of places you actually remember: the bedroom you grew up in,
the school hallway you walked every morning, the parking garage your parents used, the hospital waiting room
that smelled of industrial carpet. Real places work best. Invented scenes don't, because the AI is rebuilding
your memory, not generating a random environment.
A few things that help the output land:
People-free shots. The room is the subject, not the occasion. A birthday photo where the room is in the background won't rebuild as cleanly as a shot where the room fills the frame. Empty or near-empty shots of the space itself give the AI the most to work with.
Recent photos are fine. You don't need archive scans from the 90s. The AI doesn't date-match; it handles the timeless, slightly-wrong quality of the backrooms aesthetic regardless of when the photo was taken.
Daylight or artificial light, both work. Interior shots with visible light sources (a window, a ceiling fixture, a lamp) tend to produce the most atmospheric results, because the AI has something to reinterpret as that characteristic fluorescent hum.
Formats. JPEG and PNG are both accepted. Phone photos are fine. You don't need a DSLR or anything staged.
You upload exactly 2 photos per session. You can run multiple sessions for different places.
Step 2: Pay once
Nothing is generated until you pay. One flat price unlocks the whole session: $4.99, one-time.
No subscription, no account, no recurring charges. Before you pay, you can see exactly how the effect lands on
the homepage examples — drag the "drag to remember" slider to compare a real place with its rebuilt
backrooms version. That's the sell. Your own photos aren't shown until after you pay.
Payments run through Polar, which acts as the Merchant of Record. liminals.space never sees your card details,
and there's no profile or login to manage afterwards.
Step 3: The AI rebuild
Once you've paid, the AI processes each photo individually. It does not apply a filter. What it actually does is
read memory evidence: objects, materials, colour cues, doorways, shelves, carpets, ceiling height, and the
emotional category of the place. Then it builds a new Backrooms environment where those fragments appear
displaced, repeated, half-erased, scaled wrong, or fused into the architecture.
Crucially, it does not keep the original layout as the final scene. That is the product: the Backrooms
found your memory evidence and reconstructed it incorrectly. A stranger sees a Backrooms level; you see pieces
of your past in the wrong places.
Both rooms are generated at full resolution, each graded onto worn VHS tape so the image carries the grain and
colour bleed of found footage from the era you associate with these spaces. Processing takes a short time per
photo; you'll see each room appear as it finishes.
Step 4: Download everything
When the rebuild finishes, you download the whole session as a zip:
Both rooms in full resolution, each carrying the VHS-style grain and colour bleed of found footage from the era you associate with these spaces.
A keepsake PDF, formatted so your rooms work as prints, phone wallpapers, or posts.

Privacy: the part that matters
Your photos are of places you remember. That's personal. Here's exactly what happens to them:
No account, no database. You don't sign up. There is no profile attached to your session.
Photos are processed once, then deleted. They're sent to generate your rooms and then removed from the server. They are never stored, never indexed, never seen by anyone else.
Everything lives in your browser. Your generated images all run client-side. When you close the tab, they're gone unless you download them.
Payments via Polar. Polar acts as the Merchant of Record, which means your payment data is handled by them directly. liminals.space never sees your card details.
If you want to keep your rooms, download them before closing the tab. There's no account to log back into, and
nothing is saved on the server.
Common questions
Can I use photos of more than one place?
Yes. Each session handles 2 photos, and they don't have to be from the same place. You could mix a childhood bedroom with a school hallway if you want both rebuilt. For more places, run multiple sessions.
What if I'm not sure the result will look right?
The quality of the output depends on the quality of the source photo. A blurry, backlit, crowd-filled shot gives the AI less to work with than a clear, room-filling, people-free one. Before you pay, the homepage examples show exactly how the effect lands — drag the slider to see a real place beside its rebuilt backrooms version. Then pick your two clearest, room-filling, people-free photos.
Is this a subscription?
No. The unlock is a one-time payment for that session. There are no recurring charges, no membership tiers that auto-renew, and no account to cancel.
