Forums » Writing Workshop » Read Thread

I was thinking about making a storygame about exploring the backrooms. Hopefully I'd be able to make this as in-depth as possible and maybe even have some sort of survival in it. Was just wondering if anyone on here would be interested in reading/playing something like this or if it's not worth the effort.

Have you lost your marbles?

What are backrooms?

- I forgot to answer your question. Well, 93 people have read that story about being a forest manager, so you don't have to worry about the potential dullness of your subject material. There are so few publications in this site (minus contest season) that readers will sink their teeth in about anything with words. Your only worry is to make the story good enough that it won't get unpublished after a few days.

-addendum: Before you publish your work, please consider posting some of your writing first on the writing workshop for feedback. You can also toggle on the sneak peak mode if you want people to critique your storygame. I highly recommend that.

Please focus on your supervillain story, your graphic killing sprees and your feud with Suranna instead.

Fun fact: only one person so far has completed all the quests in this story game, which is mad impressive if they did that without a guide. (Their score would be a 3) I take it back, it would also be pretty cool if they did it with a guide. 

It really isn't.

The Forest Manager

User also made a sequel

Owh, I thought about backrooms as another word for backstage, a place where musicians hang out and such. I was confused why this would be scary, but good to know that I'm not a zoomeroid internet autist.

Edit: its origin is from a 2019 4chan thread? Explains why I haven't heard of it before.

The only possible explanation for Darius not knowing about The Backrooms is that he lives there.

Mizal explaining backrooms is so funny to me

The Backrooms sucked as soon as they started expanding it into levels like a fucking video game.

Yeah, it was at least interesting when it was literally just an infinite, musty office space with a formless entity only lurking in your peripheral. Now that everyone and their mother started adding creatures and levels, the common sentiment seems to be that the concept has lost all its mystique. Now it's just a bad SCP clone.
