Navigating the Enigmatic World of the Back Rooms

Have you ever heard of glitches in The Matrix? Those moments when reality seems to waver and odd things happen? Well, what if a glitch so profound occurs that it thrusts you into a place beyond our world? A place where the rules of reality as we know them no longer apply?

The Mysterious Back Rooms

It all started with mysterious posts on 4chan, an anonymous English-language internet forum, on May 4th, 2019. A photograph surfaced, depicting back rooms—exactly the same yellow-toned rooms extending endlessly in all directions. Allegedly, there would be no endpoint to these rooms. But how does one find themselves trapped in this confusing maze? Some say it happens through dreams or visions, while others speculate it occurs when objects in our world experience a peculiar phenomenon known as “no clipping,” indicating a risk of falling through a gateway into the back rooms.

Layers of the Story

As the concept gained traction, internet users added layers to the story. Various floors within the back rooms were imagined, each with its own peculiarities and scary beings. Influencers like YouTuber Kane Parsons captured the eerie feeling of the back rooms in horror shorts that gained immense popularity.

The Horrors Within

The back rooms universe consists of various levels, each more terrifying than the last. It starts with Level Zero, a labyrinth of similar yellow rooms where one could literally lose their mind. But that’s just the beginning. Encounter creatures called “hounds” that creep like humans on the floor, making frightening rumbling noises. On Level One, sterile concrete rooms replace the yellow ones, with hostile entities dwelling in the darkness. And it only gets scarier from there.

Embracing the Predicament

Survivors of the back rooms reportedly embraced their predicament, imagining the maze as their home. Acceptance was their ticket out, as they found themselves back in reality.

Cultural Impact

The back rooms have infiltrated various corners of the internet, becoming a defining element of online horror culture. From TikTok trends to gaming platforms, its influence is undeniable. Its success even caught the attention of A24, a popular movie production house, leading to the announcement of a film adaptation based on Kane Parsons’ videos.
