Inside the Backrooms

Inside the Backrooms is a story written by MrFatcat about a surreal, maze-like world that is supposedly accessed by accidentally glitching through a wall in a building. The story has gained popularity online and has even spawned its own meme culture and online community.

The world of the Backrooms is depicted as a seemingly endless series of yellow-tinted rooms that are all identical, with yellowed lights flickering on and off. The walls appear to be made out of either concrete or drywall and are stained with water damage. The carpeted floors are stained and damp, and sometimes sticky to the touch. The air in the Backrooms feels humid, with a faint smell of mold that is pervasive throughout the space.

Those who enter the Backrooms are said to feel disoriented and uneasy due to the endless repetition of the identical rooms. The lack of variety and the fact that there are no windows or natural light sources in the Backrooms can cause some individuals to experience hallucinations or dissociation.

The inhabitants of the Backrooms are said to be strange entities that lurk around corners or in the shadows. Some resemble human beings, while others are described as being more animalistic or demonic in appearance. It is unclear what these entities want or if they are even aware of people who have entered the Backrooms.

Inside the Backrooms presents an eerie and unsettling vision of an alternate reality that exists just beyond our own.
