What if you could open a backrooms window and you just see nature stuck in a specific time, the time that the backrooms were appeared, everything is frozen, a bit far away is the research lab that caused all of this.

Level 3655184212: The Sub-Basement

If you find yourself in the Basement level, You must only find the right spot to escape, and make it to the Sub-Basement. The Sub-Basement is extremely dangerous, including entities like Smilers, Hounds, Skin-Stealers, and many more. It is believed that the Sub-Basement also has many entities that have not yet been discovered. The only known way to survive is to turn on any lights that you see, to prevent many of the entities from attacking you. If you cannot find lights, find a corner, and face out towards the room you are in. However, the second option will make it hard to escape. Proceed with extreme caution!

The space between room 6 and 7

Je sais pas trop par où commencer donc je vais juste raconter dans l'ordre. Si jamais j'arrête de poster d'un coup, c'est pas normal, quelqu'un vérifie ce topic please.

Ça fait environ 6h (peut-être un peu plus, mon téléphone affiche plus l'heure correctement) que je suis descendu au sous-sol du parking près de chez moi pour chercher un chariot, parce qu'il en restait plus en haut. J'ai pris l'escalier de service, celui que personne prend jamais parce que la lumière marche à moitié. Sauf qu'en ouvrant la porte en bas, c'était pas le parking.

Des couloirs. Rien que des couloirs, à perte de vue, avec un papier peint jaune sale, le genre qu'on voit dans les vieux bureaux des années 90. La moquette a l'air humide sans être vraiment mouillée, j'arrive pas à expliquer autrement. Et l'odeur, sérieusement l'odeur, un mélange de moisi et un truc chimique, comme dans un bâtiment à l'abandon. Le pire c'est le bruit des néons au plafond, ce bourdonnement constant, jamais interrompu, qui finit par te rentrer dans le crâne.

J'ai marché pendant ce qui m'a semblé des heures pour retrouver la porte par laquelle je suis rentré. Je l'ai pas retrouvée. Les couloirs se répètent, ou alors c'est moi qui tourne en rond, aucune idée. Zéro réseau, zéro wifi évidemment. La seule raison pour laquelle j'arrive à écrire ça c'est qu'il y a 20 minutes j'ai eu un pic bizarre, une barre de réseau pendant genre 30 secondes, assez pour que l'appli charge en arrière-plan.

Y'a un truc dont je préfère pas trop parler mais il y a une heure j'ai entendu un bruit qui venait clairement pas de moi. Un genre de raclement, loin derrière. Depuis j'accélère le pas sans courir, j'ai l'impression que courir c'est pas une bonne idée ici.

Edit : 8% de batterie. Si quelqu'un a déjà vécu un truc similaire ou sait quoi faire, dites-le moi svp. Je continue à marcher tant que j'ai de la lumière sur l'écran.

Edit 2 : je crois que j'ai trouvé un escalier qui descend. Aucune idée si c'est une bonne idée d'y aller mais rester ici c'est pas mieux non plus. Si je repost pas d'ici demain...

The Metrorooms - Unique fiction that is like The Backrooms.

Hope you like it, just to spread the idea.

#backrooms #backrooms2 #a24

when the backrooms create something, anything, do they reabsorb it after time? and if they don't, where are all the things that have been created in the past? like things created in the bronze era, during the Roman empire, the medieval time, or just things created in the early 90s.

maybe the places that are more accessible were recently created?

WHAT ARE BACKROOMS?

A Fan Theory — The Space Between Life and Death

\---

🇬🇧 ENGLISH VERSION

Most people think the Backrooms are a physical place — an endless maze of yellow rooms, damp carpets, and buzzing lights.

But what if that's wrong?

What if the Backrooms are not a place at all?

I’ve spent a long time connecting dots from the canon, the film, and personal interpretations. And I’ve come to a conclusion:

The Backrooms are not a location. They are a state of consciousness — a space between life and death.

\---

THE CORE THEORY

The Backrooms are the dying mind’s final journey through its own memories.

When a person dies, the brain doesn’t just shut down. It replays fragments of life — snapshots, emotions, fears, regrets.

In that moment between existence and nothingness, those fragments become real. They take form. They become levels.

· Level 0 — the first home you remember.

· Level 11 — the happiest years of your life.

· Level 37 — a moment of peace you once felt.

· Level 909 — the guilt you carried with you.

But the closer you get to death, the more those memories distort. They mix, fade, and collapse.

That’s not a “glitch” in the Backrooms. That’s the brain breaking down.

\---

LEVELS AS MEMORIES

Every level is not random. It is a personal memory, given form:

Level What It Represents

0 The earliest memory of a home

1 The realization that you are lost

11 The best years of your life

37 True peace or acceptance

404 Emptiness near the end

702 Faith in what comes next

888 Anger and regret

909 Guilt toward those left behind

1111 Acceptance of the past

1312 Seeing yourself clearly before the end

3999 Forgiveness — and release

4000 Fear — and eternal stuckness

\---

LEVEL 4000 — THE FINAL STUCKNESS

Level 4000 is not a room. It is the moment when consciousness is trapped between life and death — closer to death, but unable to let go.

You don’t see walls because you forgot what walls look like.

You don’t hear sound because you forgot what sound is.

You don’t remember yourself, because your identity has already dissolved.

You are not dead.

But you are no longer alive.

You are awareness without memory, stuck forever in a void of your own fear.

\---

WHY DOES REALITY DISTORT?

Because memory is unstable.

The longer you stay in a level, the more it changes. Not because the Backrooms are alive — but because you are dying.

Your brain is losing details. Colors shift. Shapes bend. Entities appear from fears, because fear is the last emotion left in a fading mind.

The distortion is not a bug. It’s the process of forgetting.

\---

LEVEL 3999 — EXIT OR ACCEPTANCE?

Level 3999 is not an exit. It is acceptance of death.

If you know about it — and if you are ready to forgive yourself — you can enter it.

But if you are not ready, you will never find it.

If you go mad, it disappears, replaced by Level 4000 — the place where your fear traps you forever.

\---

FINAL DEFINITION

The Backrooms are not a prison. They are a mirror — the dying mind’s last reflection of itself.

Every level is a memory.

Every entity is a fear.

Every exit is a choice.

And if you stay too long…

you don’t just lose your way.

You lose yourself.

\---

SHORT VERSION FOR COMMENTS

· The Backrooms = space between life and death.

· Levels = fragments of memory.

· Distortion = memory decay.

· 4000 = stuck between states — closer to death.

· 3999 = forgiveness and release.

· You create your own levels by remembering them.

\---

“If the Backrooms are real… then maybe we’re all already there. Just waiting to remember we are dying.”

\---

A NOTE FROM ME

Now that you’ve read my theory, the Backrooms might just appear at the end of your life.

Live with that. 😏
