I Woke Up In The Backrooms
by Riley VexOwen Hale knows the Backrooms. He's watched every video, read every wiki entry, memorized every level. Then he wakes up on wet carpet under fluorescent lights with a health bar on his wrist and an entity detector pulsing in the corner of his vision. The lore didn't mention how the carpet smells. The lore didn't mention that your legs stop working when your stamina runs out. The lore definitely didn't mention the thing in the walls that knows your voice. Together with Suki — a girl who's never seen a Backrooms video and is somehow better at surviving than he is — Owen descends through levels that follow the rules he knows just enough to betray him. Something is herding them deeper. The only way out is down.
