Forum Overview :: The Backrooms

There should be other people so you can be lost together by Vested Id 07/06/2022, 10:00am PDT Screenwriting wisdom is to always have more than one character, to bring the tacit out of the labyrinthine "backrooms" of subtext through dialogue. And this gives you meat to feed to the GLaDOS figure. Also, the backrooms themselves: not big enough. It should be like a giant carpeted Costco. And once you have those vertiginous patterns stretching in all directions, you interrupt them. I'm thinking messages scratched into walls, maybe written in blood. We can go full Fincher/Lynch with it, maybe with a science fiction backstory for maximum weird.

What would make a good Backrooms game? NT by Kirahu Nagasawa 07/05/2022, 2:56pm PDT     Procedural maps, exit a long way away, monster hunting you, sound-based stealth.

Definitely not a woman.
