Forum Overview :: The Backrooms
 
I get what you're saying but I think this is very backrooms-y by blackwater 08/25/2025, 10:44pm PDT
The levels so far are:

1. Classrooms
2. Library Rooms
3. Bathrooms
4. Darkrooms
5. Poolrooms
6. Playrooms
7. Kidrooms

Library Rooms is basically The End. The gameplay here is vaguely similar to what it was in Escape the Backrooms, but much better.

Bathrooms / Poolrooms has appeared in many games, most notably Pools and Dreamcore.

Darkrooms is canon as level 6 aka "lights out"

Playrooms was obviously inspired by Level Fun, possibly also by the playrooms level in Dreamcore

Classrooms / Kidrooms inspired by many similar extended canon levels

The protagonists are kids and it's sort of implied that the levels are somehow part of their collective unconscious (or something like that). Kids don't work in offices, therefore there is no office level.

The more controversial thing is mixing in (basically) SCP lore. But you know what, MEG lore sucks, and A-Sync lore was getting a bit stale. Kane needs to release some more stuff so we can all benefit. In the meantime, having an SCP-like organization whose lore can tell you stuff about the monsters you're facing just feels right.
