The Backrooms
“ If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in

God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you

Note

  • This profile is based off the original 4chan post of The Backrooms, this did not have things such as levels, entities, or any overarching lore such as civilizations or objects such as "almond water".

Trivia

  • The Backrooms became one of the most popular internet horror locations due to the creation of this post, creating dozens of different intereretations and stories, with one even becoming an actual mainstream movie made by Kane Pixels.
  • The post that likely got the Backrooms to its level of popularity was Kane Pixels original Backrooms found footage video[2].

Misconceptions

This section will discuss things used in future Backrooms products that technically go against the original intention or wasn't told in the original post.

The Backrooms Is Infinite In Size

While later renditions may have the idea that the backrooms is an infinite sized realm, it had a completely defined size in the original post[1].

Levels

The Backrooms has levels in other interpretations but the original post never once alluded to the idea of there being other levels, the main area seen in the post was the one directly called "The Backrooms" with no "level" in the name[1].

Entities

Entities are very common in other interpretations of The Backrooms, however, the original story only alluded to the idea of there being someone there, never confirming it[1].

Almond Water

Almond Water is a pretty popular object in other Backrooms interpretations, but it was never an idea in the original post, in fact, the original post said there was nothing but the moist carpet and mono-yellow endless halls[1], basically saying there were absolutely no resources.
