"Liminal Descent"
Inspired by the collaborative horror universe of the Backrooms, where endless, liminal spaces hide untold secrets and dangers.

What begins as an ordinary forest exploration quickly turns into a surreal nightmare for Ren, a curious wanderer who stumbles upon a glowing, otherworldly orb deep in the woods. A single touch catapults Ren into Level 0, the eerie yellow maze of the Backrooms, where the hum of fluorescent lights never ceases, and the air reeks of damp carpet.

Armed with only his wits, a camera, and a few supplies, Ren must navigate the labyrinthine horrors of this bizarre dimension. Along the way, he encounters cryptic clues, strange objects like the lifeline that is Almond Water, and fragments of documents left behind by the M.E.G. (Major Explorer Group). These hints offer insight into the Backrooms' countless levels-some promising safety, others hiding unspeakable terrors.

As Ren struggles to escape, he learns that surviving the Backrooms requires more than endurance; it demands unraveling its twisted, enigmatic logic. But with every step forward, he faces the unsettling truth: the Backrooms aren't just a place-they might be alive.

This story expands upon the rich, collaborative lore of the Backrooms, blending suspense, exploration, and existential dread into a journey you won't forget.

The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss by SimpingPyro
10 parts Complete
In The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss, John, a curious soul with a penchant for exploring abandoned places, stumbles upon a door that leads to a nightmarish labyrinth known as the Backrooms. Endless, monotonous corridors lined with yellowing walls and flickering lights stretch out before him, trapping him in a surreal reality where time and space are distorted. As John navigates the eerie, ever-changing environment, he is plagued by the silence and occasional ominous sounds that hint at something lurking just out of sight. Determined to find an escape, John encounters cryptic signs, shifting rooms, and strange phenomena that seem to defy the laws of physics. Along his journey, he crosses paths with shadowy figures and encounters a mysterious guide who warns him of the trials that lie ahead. John must confront not only the Backrooms' physical challenges but also the emotional and psychological fears they stir within him. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that the Backrooms are more than a maze-they are a reflection of his innermost struggles and fears. Armed with only his wits and a cryptic key, John is forced to confront a final trial, one that will test his understanding, courage, and resolve. The key to his freedom lies not just in navigating the endless corridors, but in unraveling the truth about himself and the mysterious nature of the Backrooms. The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss is a tale of survival, self-discovery, and the psychological toll of isolation in a nightmarish world where reality bends and terror awaits around every corner. As John faces the unknown, he must question what is real and what is illusion-and whether the Backrooms are a prison, a test, or something far more sinister.
