Hear me out: Dead Space, but Backrooms

I sort of stumbled upon this thought when working on my backfields biome(?) and trying to come up with cool renders to impress the homies. This particular 3rd person perspective paired with the anatomy of the uh, researcher-head-wearing-scarecrows we'll call them, reminded me of Dead Space - a game that I really enjoyed the idea of but was actually too scared to play myself because I'm a big baby.

Anyway, I'm sure I'm not the first person to consider it, but I just think it would be super cool to have a backrooms game in the style of Dead Space and how wonderfully messed up it could be.

The Bacteria is kinda goofy

I think it shows very clearly in this scene. From a distance, its design is passable. But once you look closer at it, you notice how goofy it looks and this particular scene always takes me aback. The only good part of its design (for me at least) is that you don't really know what you're looking at, and the fact that it's very hard to decipher where its face is, as humans generally try to assign a front to things. Captain Clark is so much better than the Bacteria.

That is to say, the rest of the short is masterclass and overall, this grievance does not affect my enjoyment of the short as a whole :)

These are an absolute masterpiece

These scents absolutely nail a liminal, drab vibe perfectly. I don’t want to post a spoiler analysis as discovering each one blind was extremely fun. Amazing.

Has anyone else that loves Backrooms been to any Meow Wolf locations?

If not, they are basically indoor massive art installations created by a collaboration of hundreds of different types of artists. I’ve been to 3 of their locations so far. They are extremely intricate and fascinating. It’s almost like being on psychedelics without actually taking anything. Just curious if anyone else has been to any of their 5 locations because I couldn’t help but think of the Backrooms during my visits.

Who do you relate more to, Clark or Mary?

Personally, I resonate more with Mary and her melancholy yet curiosity and care toward life. You???

The most backrooms place on earth?

Once again, I stayed at the Bavarian Inn Lodge. Is it just me, or does anyone else get major backrooms vibes?

Kitty's house

A genuine question: What is the appeal of kitty's house? I already think the idea of a random small sized pink backrooms level you get sent to if you have a 'cute' item and where there is a random black figure that doesn't do anything is pretty bad and doesn't fit in the backrooms. It even has Wi-Fi, which isn't bad on itself, but it is a completely safe level and that makes it way to good of a level to be in for the backrooms. And don't get me started on how you leave the level... It even has one of those youtube short "what if a kid enters the backrooms" feature where everything becomes better if a child enters it. For some reason kitty's house is really popular. I don't have anything against this level or the people who do like the level, but I just don't understand what's so fun about it. Can someone who disagrees with me explain?

Is there an archived version of the old backrooms wiki?

I really love the old version of The Backrooms but for me to get it, I need to watch archived Mr Ferrante vids, or watch the oldest Mr. Backrooms vid. I don't really like to spend any time to just watch vids since I generally like reading more.

Oh yeah, I'm not saying that I hate Wikidot, Fandom, or KP. I read Wikidot everyday, Fandom is when I'm bored, KP is my favorit FF series.

Theory: Async accidentally created a space that feeds on human memory

I’m late to this as I just watched Backrooms today (Oct 2026). Pardon me if my theory has been mentioned already.

I have a theory that the Backrooms were deliberately created by Async based on their previous work with MRI/brain technology, and that the way the Backrooms function is actually modeled after the human brain.

What if the Backrooms aren’t just an endlessly generated physical space, but something that behaves almost like a brain?

The space expands as more memories are introduced to it. When people enter, the Backrooms somehow absorbs or interprets their memories and uses them to create new rooms, objects, and environments. That could explain why so many areas resemble familiar human spaces but feel slightly wrong: offices, hallways, houses, stores, etc. They’re not necessarily places that physically existed. They’re imperfect reconstructions of things stored in people’s memories.

Basically, the more people who enter, the more “memories” the Backrooms has to build from, and the larger and more complex it becomes.

That also made me rethink the hazmat suits.The obvious assumption is that Async employees wear them because they’re afraid of being exposed to something dangerous inside the Backrooms.

But what if it’s actually the opposite? What if the suits are meant to isolate the employees from the Backrooms, preventing the space from reading or absorbing their memories?

Maybe Async eventually realized that every unprotected person they sent inside was unintentionally giving the Backrooms more information to work with. The hazmat suits aren’t there to stop something from getting into the humans.

They’re there to stop something from the humans getting into the Backrooms.

And if that’s true, Async didn’t just discover an infinite liminal space. They created something that learns from us.

for my og backrooms Roblox map, should I make an area based off of the Bader's fine furniture store?

I might not build it yet, but in the future if it's decided on. (image not related to topic)
