    Yeah, the last time I heard about the backrooms, it was a niche idea with just the yellow wallpaper and infinite space. No monsters or extra floors. The idea of accidentally clipping through reality and ending up there, with your only potential company being stumbling on the bodies of other people who starved to death was much more vivid to me. Although, I will say the kid who made the backrooms short movies did a really good job.

And if there is and you encounter it will you encounter it again? What if those noises you hear are something else? But in the end it's a game and you can't just get away with spoopy ambient noise and no monsters. There would be nothing to do.

    The pipe area around 15:00 reminds me of a museum i interned in, the entire basement was a maze of poorly lit cement walls and pipes. Museum was over 150 years old so everything was patchwork of expansions with little to no thought in how they connected. An entire area of the structural department was dedicated to making sure they found every inch of the building because recorded plans were very few. I would gopher between departments and being alone in certain areas felt like there would be no help for me if i had a problem.

    i believe Liminal spaces are spaces that, like arin said are inherently transitional, but specifically bereft of the typical amounts of people, most usually become liminal at night like truck stops, airports, even hospitals (mostly the hallways). The backrooms are essentially an apex concept due to the office-like aesthetic making it seem like things should be clustered with cubicals, furniture and objects and signs of people but since there are none it messes with the expectations and pattern recognition of our minds and it sets us on edge. ^^

    Just to let you guys know that limital spaces are basically the bridge to point a to b. So when your in school or in the mall, you usually only think about getting to point b, but not the hallways or the little details of how you get there🤙 It's a transitional space between two main points, but what makes them frightening is when the space is taken out of context. A bustling school hallway at lunchtime isn't really scary, but when the school hallway is empty, in the middle of the night and taken out of context, it suddenly becomes nerve wracking and you pay more attention to your surroundings and start to see the limital spaces that's between point a and b. The backrooms I basically when you noclipped outta reality and it can happen to anyone at anytime. Usually this will be the first level that your forced to try and survive, but there's an endless amount of levels that the poor souls noclipped into. The frontrooms is normal reality(Earth) The midrooms and sub rooms and pocket dimensions of different backrooms The backrooms is the limital spaces of purgatory, your not dead but you can still be killed by the entities of the backrooms💀 Sorry for the rambling Arin and Dan😭 This concept is just really amazing! It's very reminiscent of LSD Dream imular and this will make an amazing movie/game ideas😎🤙
