Forum Overview :: The Backrooms

I am not familiar with this (yet), but: by pinback 08/25/2025, 3:53am PDT Do you think we are in danger of letting the term "backrooms game" fall into the same sad state as "roguelike", where essentially anything "liminal" is now automatically called a "Backrooms" game? Your statement at the end about "maybe they will add level 0 one day" got me concerned, because in my opinion, level 0 IS the backrooms. There is no "level 0". The backrooms is yellow stained carpet, fluorescent hum and a maze that goes on forever.
