[@bowmin1]

What I don't like about the Backrooms wiki lore is how most of these levels seem to be created by a higher being. Watches which time travel people, pentagrams drawn into the dirt which send you to another level, etc. I only like floors that seem almost like a waste-product of reality, something produced not by a sentient being but by reality working in incredible ways. Stuff like time travelling watches just seem so childish and not at all suitable to the original 'feeling' of the backrooms (an unusual different level to reality that is just there). This stuff would be interesting by itself but I don't think it's too suited for the Backrooms concept, it's more SCP-esque then 'liminal space'-esque. So many levels with silly gimmicks.

[@ultimatetrashboy419]

I keep seeing people complaining about modern backrooms but there’s no way everyone level could be bad.

[@abailumlerrad1037]

Agreed! All of this seems like a very quick draw of reality, like not naturally. I understand wanting to be fast when creating this levels, but 99% of them are completely rubbish, it's harsh but I will say it. Most of all probably think like this when hearing "Liquid Pain" or "Time travel clock floating on the ocean" like, great, but where's the variation?

[@ASTEIR]

@@ultimatetrashboy419 there's some good ones but they either get ignored/aren't as covered, or get rewritten from the old, weird version but nobody looks at the new version so its just kinda remembered as THAT level. There's definitely a few levels that get the liminal space feeling good they're just not known

[@tadeplayzz2282]

This adds more lore to the backrooms and makes more sense so then the back rooms might be backup hell if you go into the middle or to hell but you can’t go to hell if. Hell is a shadey grey because most of the times when you noclip the person who noclipped almost died like in k pixels when he was recording a video he no-clipped via falling and what I mean by the middle it is in the middle of heaven and hell if you did something good and wrong the entities are a rejection from heaven or hell or moved to the middle beacause hell has turned into a shadey grey the entities are things rejected from hell and heaven or left hell because hell has turned Into a shadey gray so that’s my theory or creations to make us die for ever to end our suffering or restart a new life or reborn in the backrooms

[@Razer5542]

I've always treat the end in shady grey to be like sub dimension with just a huge primal fire or something.. A3 is pretty much already actual hell (The biblical version of hell), the end could just be another version of hell or a aspect of it. Wouldn't surprise me if its just one giant spiritual oven that 'cooks' your soul (Destroys it). And considering the page says that it's one with the void, it's probably located somewhere within the void itself. The text for the end shown on the page is actually pretty unsettling when you first look at it..

tbh the watches are extremly usefull. if you do get out by either going to the void (which there are no information about) or by using the watch on yourself and having the luck to die to an entity and managing to save yourself. if you do manage to get out with the watch you can use it on your enemys which is extremly usefull in the backrooms.

The wobbly effect of L0ST H0P3 reminds me of the wobbly effect you get if you get too far in certain games Like Minecraft and Geometry Dash

[@ShockInazuma]

I like to imagine the Fallen Angel just picking up a wanderer by the back of their shirt, opening a portal, and tossing them through that portal like some cartoon when the wanderer asks to go to Level 3Three.

[@sarahgardinor2967]

Yessir

[@alienshooterdefender86]

Theories I think that 1 explorer managed to escape L0ST H0P3 and reach 2 F4R. Then when in there he met an entity that said he went too far and either killed him or sent him to TH3 3ND. If the entity killed him then his soul reached TH3 3ND before being destroyed by the sublevel (As in there it ialso said something like your soul is dead. I can't remember clearly.) If the entity sent him here then he died from the most probably fiery environment before his soul died That's my theory

[@alienshooterdefender86]

Or maybe Too Far is actually many different parallel realities mashing into one. Maybe all the sublevels of The Shady Grey are parallel realities. In Too Far Sublevels 0Zero to Lost Hope mash together. And since Lost Hope is unstable, Too Far is also very unstable. It said Too many layers of reality collapsed in on you. Which could mean all layers of parallel realities mesh up to create Too Far. And cuz of that and the unstability, reality collapses and you die. Then ur soul enters The End and ur soild gets killed in it. I think The Shady Grey makes you go through parallel realities first, before meshing them up, then finally killing you

[@alienshooterdefender86]

And I think TH3 3ND is actually hell as it is not greyscale which means it us not part of TH3 SH4DY GR3Y but it is connected to it in soneway

[@backrooms-datalog7630]

idk if this exists im too lazy to look,but it would be awsome if there was an entity with no sense of touch ,smell,taste,or sight. the reason i left out hearing is because if it hears something,it goes torwards the sound. and if you made it,it goes to you (not homing torwards you). its best to wear sneakers every time this entity is in a level,because if it hears you run it homes in. and theres no escape if you run. because if you run,it sure as hell heard you.

My potential theory is that SH4DY GR3Y is basically dying... and going to hell... see, the black and white palette is often associated with death or fading, plus the level of corruption increasing can also mean the fazing out of life and your perception becoming unstable. I do not say that SH4DY GR3Y is necessarily that you are literally dying, but it has the symbolism in it has correlations.
