THIS GAME DETECTS WHEN I SPEAK!? | The Backroom 1998

[@SilverCheetah]

The ending is based on an actual coldcase. His name was Timothy King and he was a victim of the Oakland County Child Killer. His mom actually went on the news and begged for his safe return and said when she got him back she would give him his favorite, KFC chicken. When they found his body an autopsy revealed that his last meal had in fact been KFC. As gruesome and exaggerated as this game was, it doesn’t beat the horror of reality.

[@SylverScourge]

That is... genuinely upsetting. Horror games that are based on true events are almost always scarier than they would be otherwise.

[@DianeJudithRP]

And then the credits end with "in memory of spicy fried chicken". They could've at least mentioned the real case.

[@LilAmBaby]

That’s horrifying, but honestly a great anecdote imo. It makes the game that much more terrifying (without being disrespectful), and brings awareness to a new audience so that maybe somehow could help one day solving it.

For me the fact that it is based so closely on the real case (as Sean knows by now but clearly didn't at the time of the recording) is such a saddening low blow. I get it that such stories often draw inspiration from real life stories, but one thing is inspiration, the other is exact retelling. I sincerely hope it was done in order to raise awareness, and not just as an excuse for some cheap scares. Rest in peace, Timmy. You didn't deserve any of this.

[@KuueenKumi]

Right? Especially since it is done with the intention to make money and fame from this game. Despicable

[@RosinaEmilyW]

Unlike other based on real life games I think this one is pretty well done and respectful because it hammers home how awful it was. It’s only made better by the fact that the ending flips the perspective on its head. It makes the player feel thoroughly disgusted but also received that at least one of the murders went through some form of psychological hell before dying. The same also potentially goes for at least one of the others even if they did not die. After all, someone had to write those messages. Then there is the gut punch provided by the revelation of Timmy’s murder, showing how tragic and cruel his death was. Especially since as horrible as the back rooms version of Timmy is, it is obviously a punishment designed to torment the murderer. The game also draws attention to a particularly horrendous murder, hopefully protecting more children in the process. A very well done game.

[@lucky4d725]

I wouldn't really call it exact retelling. The game is clearly exagerated in different aspects. Now whether those exagerations are done tastefully or not i dont really know.

[@Pongopaces_]

Something that makes this actually terrifying, is that hell is described as a place where you relive your worst sin over and over. The backrooms, and the idea that the person who killed that kid is the one going through it - could be inspired/based on what hell is supposed to be. Having to find all of the kids' things, likely experiencing the same fear the kid did while being constantly reminded of such a sin - would be an appropriate hell. Not saying of course that this is precisely what it's supposed to be, but it's interesting to imagine.

The game was scarier when nothing was happening as when nothing happens but you know it’s there, it just grows too tense and THATS when it gets scary.

In the horror game if you remove the whole atmosphere by changing it into something harmless you effectively destroy the thrill+tension and the sense of being trapped.

I agree 100%. While there may be some nowadays that have details like that, most of the ones I saw throughout my life, being in countless malls in multiple states and seeing them myself, would not have those details. Clothing is the focus and how it fits the mannequin, not the details of the person wearing them. I disagree with everyone else here. The common known version doesn't have such details. FACT. I.E. The nipples at most wouldn't have a texture for them nor color, it would just be a hint on the mannequin. The dimples would matter for lingerie, which still only apply to certain stores or prices.

Considering he and his friends found it _fun_ to torture and kill a small child, I wouldn't put it past those same friends making some pretty fucked up pranks on each other, leading to his hopeful "delusion".

I mean, you know how friends are: Trapping you in an eternal hellscape just because you fell asleep first at the sleepover. A classic, really.

My headcanon for the Backrooms is that it's a safe haven or shelter for some event that will cause all realities to collapse. The Backrooms actually doesn't seem to encourage hostile entities, and it has countless areas where hostile entities are calmed or even destroyed. However, they kinda have to be in there if it's gonna save everyone from every reality. It looks so glitchy because it's trying to make it comfortable for everyone in every reality (which causes it to be kinda... weird and uncomfortable), in addition to it still being a work in progress. But you can still get to it by no-clipping, similar to a place in a game that's just a placeholder and you're not actually supposed to go there yet.

[@baconfoxxe5577]

Backrooms as whole benevolent entity the whole time would be a big twist on its own cosmic horror. I like this one!

[@voidsoul8373]

can I ask how and why it has to have dangerous entities?

[@CodeSaint]

guess it would be like a Noah's Ark for entities in all realities. You have all the nice entities but if your tryna make a safe haven for all entities across realities your gonna have to get the dangerous ones as well.

[@Bruh-vd1pp]

@@CodeSaint this is a nice and simple explanation

[@triggerhappy4199]

Also if so there would be even more problems due to you meeting your alternate universe selves

Dear Jack, I highly recommend another game by the same developer called "Trenches". It came out before this one, and a lot found in this game came from that one. Same mechanics, different story. If you can handle something like this again (which is no easy task), I'd say give it a try!

backrooms lore: getting in is random. surviving is up to you and luck. getting out: you should probably forget about it

[@jackofclubs6229]

The way entering the Backrooms works is that you NoClip through _Reality._ However, if you try to NoClip through the ceiling you fell through originally, you’ll do exactly that; NoClip through the _Ceiling._ That’ll just get you to Level 1 from Level 0. Imagine being tossed into a river. When you resurface, you know you came from upstream, but you don’t know where on the bank you came from as it’s obscured by a bush. Therefore, the only solution available to you now is to either swim upstream in hopes of finding a bank to escape or swim downstream and fall down a waterfall to end your suffering. You could also try to tread water, or wash up on a small rock island in the middle of the river to catch your bearings, and that’s the equivalent of the different campsites and bases on safe floors.
