The Keycard is a standard form of identification which the employees of Async Research Institute must have visible on their body at all times when in the research facility (with apparent exception to when conducting field research in The Backrooms due to the wearing of hazmat suits).
Appearance[]
The Keycard has contains the Async logo, employee's name, a headshot picture, date issued, date expired, and employee clearance level.
It is presumed that employee keycards are equipped with a mag-strip containing embedded employee information which enables access to certain areas of the facility per their respective clearance levels.
