The Backrooms

March, 2019.
The world is full of memes, suspecting nothing.
4Chan is doing its thing, finding the original images of creppypastas, but little did they know, they were about to give birth to one.
A user posts a yellow office type building, endless with yellow walls, moist carpet, and yellow carpets aswell. It was on "Liminal Spaces" community in 4Chan. But what would start off as a single image would soon to be known as much more. Over the months, it grew more and more, until they gave it a name.

"If youre not careful and accidentally teleport out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms. Here it is nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow plasteres along the walls, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and about 600 million square miles of randomly connected blank rooms where you will be stuck forever. God save you if you hear something, because it çəřþªīñłý hears you."

This disturbing description haunted most of 4Chan. Some people turned it into a dead meme, while others had tried to expand the whole logic.

You have been here before.

I'm stuck in the backrooms, level 0, level 1, all of them I've been to. I can't escape it.

The Backrooms

Ok So The Backrooms is an online fiction originating from a creepypasta posted on a 2019. One of the most well known examples of the Internet aesthetic of liminal spaces, which depicts usually busy locations as unnaturally empty, the Backrooms was first described as a maze of empty office rooms that can only be entered by "noclipping out of reality".

The Backrooms: Level 0

The Backrooms are a 600 million square mile abandoned office with mono-yellow rooms stretched throughout, the carpet being moist and stinking of old wet rug, the florescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, the wallpaper where if anyone looks for to long, could drive a man insane. If you want to enter the backrooms you must "no-clip" out of reality, to do so, walk through a darker wall that seems out of place, fall on your face, and if all else fails, go through a glitched chair. While many people have entered the backrooms on accident and on purpose, nobody has ever returned, the mono-yellow room is what many wanderers and travelers refer to as: Level 0, or Tutorial Room, and this isn't the end, its only the beginning, because to exit Level 0 and enter Level 1 you must walk through a slightly darker yellow wall than all the others, and before you enter Level 1, you must be aware of the entities that wander. Entities can be very generous creatures such as a Faceling, or they can be cold blooded such as a Smiler, Level 0 has no entities but entities do wander Level 1, so if you'll need to bring some supplies, we recommend bringing, a jug of water, canned food, a machete, knee and shoulder pads, and if need to carry more things, another backpack, after all your never coming back.

Ps: You can also enter the backrooms by falling where your hair stand up.

The Backrooms: Level 0 Is the first level of the backrooms

The Backrooms Effect

Adding unnecessary details/mechanics that dilute the creep factor of a concept (or game) that's already creepy and/or interesting in its own right.

"This story adaption would have been so much better if the author didn't pull The Backrooms Effect and add extreme gore zombies, and time travel to the story."
