IF YOU SEE SOMETHING STRANGE DOWN HERE.. RUN

[@forcexjr1566]

Somehow this is scarier than the backrooms. The passage is just 1 straight pathway and there is seemingly no way to maneuver around enemies. If they are faster than you, they *WILL* catch you eventually.

[@theZDOME]

The back rooms used to be scary before all the entities and gobbledygook

[@kangarookangaroo702]

The backrooms also gives a subconscious illusion of the possibility of escape. Every new room is a chance that it will be the exit, whereas this hallway never changes. Every direction points inwards.

[@plaguetpk5403]

Well cause they are the same thing, a liminal space, the backrooms kind of ruin liminal spaces, more people think of the backrooms than what it actually is, and liminal spaces aren’t supposed to be monsters either, maybe a stalker to make you feel uneasy but nothing that attacks, it’s not supposed to be murder scary but kind of nostalgic and uneasy or something is just wrong

[@bornsvg]

Hehe. That’s only the moving wall station. The one man behind the wall near the station switches the tracks to give people who are tired new experiences. He checks out if there’s one person and how their mental state is or is they’re tired enough to not exactly notice. It’s sponsored by 100s of millionsaires. (Not really a billionaire) they mostly stock trade like other normal people. They hired private construction and rail workers. They just do it to have fun. The land is nearby under their building they own, and one far off in the country is it’s easier to build in the country. They just like trains enough to build on abandoned train lines. They gutted a mountain a little to make their private station. It’s not Rumour, it’s just fancy living.

[@bornsvg]

Sadly they can’t man the track switcher all the time, so… you know.

[@drakemcfee9138]

Oh yeah i remember hearing about when i was in Japan. Something like a young guy got on the last train to where he lived and realized he didn't recognize the scenery. Was doing something like snapchat with ppl and after a while decided to get off at the next stop and cant find anyone, phone batts about to die cant finda place to charge it and t hen the never heard from again bit? Takitaki, slit mouth, blue or red bathroom, po woman etc. Boy the Japanese love of these kind of ghost stories is matched only by how grim they are. Course thats one of the reasons i love the place.

This is far better than the backrooms. No goofy enemies that try too hard to be scary, and most importantly, the horrifying feeling of inescapability and paranoia is much more apparent.

U sure about that?

[@cyansorcerer6491]

@@bornsvg As far as liminal horror goes the backrooms are great, they simply got less scary and authentic as they became more popular. The backrooms are not only overused, but most depictions of the backrooms are oversaturated with other horror elements (the other highly detailed floors and monsters). As a result it ends up taking too much attention away from the essential essence of the backrooms, which is the fear of the unknown and the fear of being alone. That kind of atmosphere also creates the feeling of paranoia and vulnerability that should be very apparent in the backrooms

The guy running at you that was blending in the wall was the best one. I had a... nightmare? Some kind of unconventional dream, long ago, where I was in a hedge maze that was only waist high. It was dark, but lit up enough that you could still see where you were and where to go. I made it to the final stretch, which was this really long and straight path leading to the exit, and it felt like that part of the dream was coming to an end. Then, I turned and saw a shadow figure that looked odd; if you imagine a black figure with a bright light being shone directly in front of it, and you inverted it so the bright sections were shadow and the black sections just didn't exist, that's what my shadow person looked like. He was just dark highlights and nothing more. Dark highlight bro was suddenly sprinting at me, and it scared me shitless so that I ran towards the exit. Of course, being in a dream, you aren't 100% smart, and the dream me decided to peek back to see where the highlight dude was; closing the gap fast. I ran and ran, and suddenly... The highlight dude just ran right by me, reaching the exit first. He then turned, did a victory dance, and through gestures only, he mocked me for coming in second place. When I realized what it was doing, I woke up and yelled "WHAT THE FU-". I woke up from a nightmare being confused. Not scared, not frightened, not panicked; just completely confused. The guy from the hallway in this game around the 18:48 mark? 100% reminded me of that dream.
