The Backrooms are certainly one of the most surreal stories to have graced readers’ screens for a long time. The urban legend is based on a simple question: given that there is a human simulation, what if a person clipped out of reality and into the unloaded areas of the map? The “Backrooms” refer to those unloaded, subliminal areas that seem oddly familiar to viewers as if they’ve explored them in a dream. The Backrooms are often depicted as endless maze-like hallways that are tinted yellow from floor to ceiling. That said, since the popularity of the urban legend has skyrocketed, fans have built on that setting and created other subliminal “levels” of the Backrooms.
