Well, it seems like the [Creepy Thread] no clipped into the Backrooms.

I am bringing the Creepy Thread back because it is not showing up in Google for some reason.
There is a new Backrooms game that is coming out that seems to be closely following the wiki.
Some of the YouTube adaptations kind of annoy me because hey deviate from the wiki too much.
Here is the game.

They tend to be about the same on the early levels of the backrooms. I guess those have become canon.

Here is another one, but it is a 22GB download. The previous one looks better.

I knew how to find this cursed text.

Doesn't involve the backrooms, but has a wonderful sense of creepy without overplaying its hand.
Wow I read this years ago and have been trying to find it again! Didn't realize it was you @syndalis
I am not certain what levels they come from. Maybe level 4?
Yep. My 20s were a rather interesting time!

I always hate they imploded, as does happen with creative groups.
I was working on a game for them at the time (non Marble Hornet related, it was their other thing Nature Break)
Their series was definitely my favorite of the few that attempted.
I remember seeing it and thinking “it’s just a shed”
The pics that didn't survive from the last thread (from a user who's avatar met a similar fate)? Are you sure they were real or is this starting to evolve into one of those things.
I worked in this old building for a while on a weird block that was industrial but had a little park. IT was in a smallish square room with three entrances and a little break room with windows. One to the main office, one down to a production floor and one that went down some stairs to a store room. That rooms only entrance was these stairs because someone thought it was safe to stack stuff against the other room exit. The door to the stairs had a little window on it.
At some point management decided someone from IT had to be there till 6pm so we drew straws and my day was Friday.
One Friday at about 5:30, middle of winter so it was dark already, I was working away, and the door to the store room at the bottom of the stairs slammed really hard. scared the shit out of me.
Then footsteps started up the stairs. First hard, like they were stomping, then got lighter as they got to the top. I turned and expected to see someone wanting to be let in. The window was pitch black. No one was in there.
I noped out and left.
On the Monday I told my team. ‘Oh you met Tobey’. The fuck is Tobey? The ghost. Buildings haunted. A few people had weird shit happen in that room. One person was back late one night and heard wailing come from one corner, another was in early and heard knocking on the break room windows, and when they turned around it would stop.
One morning walking in I saw a sign that usually had a tree in front of it. The block used to be a colonial era graveyard. It was relocated, and the unreadable headstones were ground up and used to make the paths in the little park.
It is almost like farting sideways is dangerous in the backrooms.
On different animals right?
one time I got a little worried but I think it was a possum with kids.
That’s when you need to go check it out to be sure.
yes, is me.
Also the deer woman story, which happened like a week before the car accident.

I can't find it anymore.
Apparently, there is a haunted house in the town I live in. There was a TV episode about it.
That seems like a good way to get got by a six eyed thing from outside reality.
Or worse, a possum mom and her babies.

Was it the one that broke down all the haunted locations in a state by city? That was a great little site, especially for someone who lived in Pennsylvania.
This video was pretty crazy, breaking down all the references and weirdness in myhouse.

This seems like it might be the most "pure" backrooms experience because there's no monster or even an indication of anything dangerous or monstrous, except the knowledge that you could be trapped in an unchanging space forever. Your goal is to determine whether anything is "wrong" in the current version of the hallway. If something is wrong, turn around and go back. If nothing is wrong, move forward. If you missed an anomaly and go forward anyway, you lose progress. So finding something wrong is actually a relief--at least you have your answer. The scariest thing is a hallway where everything seems fine, because what if you missed something?
The fact that the game can train you to want to see things that are spooky and wrong, things that would be an indicator of danger in most games, as a relief. That it can train you to be afraid of the normal. That's some chef's kiss dread right there. I'm all for backrooms monsters and jumpscares. But the notion that you really should be afraid of not finding something in the Backrooms, that you'll never find anything there, ever, that's a super hard thing to convey in a game or a found footage video, so I'm super impressed that a game managed to attempt it.
