The Backrooms
Identical yellow walls, damp carpet, the hum of fluorescent lights. It's the famous Level 0 of The Backrooms, and it's extremely easy to get lost in here.
Objective
Find the 5 keys scattered across the maze. There are no levers: the real challenge is finding your way around and not getting caught off guard in the long, open hallways.
Why it's hard
There are no landmarks: every room looks like the last. In straight corridors, the monster can spot you from afar, and you can see it too.
Tips
- Pick a direction and stick to it, instead of wandering around randomly.
- In long hallways, don't stop in the middle: cross them quickly and make a turn.
- If you're in a team, call out where you've already searched.
Where The Backrooms come from
They are an internet urban legend created in 2019: an infinite space of empty rooms you enter by "clipping out of reality". We talk about it on the analog horror page.
