In the Backrooms: A survivor's story

by Matteo Bonissi

If you're not careful and no-clip out of reality in wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, and endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.
God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you…

the backrooms nothing but the stink of the moist carpet, the never ending yellow walls, and the annoying light music. nobody has ever believed the myth until NOW

This was written so poorly. It needs a spell and grammarly check desperately. A spooky tree monster???? Are we joking?? This could’ve been such a cool book but just executed poorly. The book/ story was rushed and not very creepy at all. The only reason it got 2 stars instead of 1 was because of the facelings and the endless city.

A unique read this reminded me of that episode of adventure time where Finn “falls” into the pillow world. Anyway this scratched the itch I’ve had for backroom horror after falling down a tik tok rabbit hole I would for sure recommend this book

I had to stop reading it because it was to dark and this book really gave me the creeps
Finished it on the next morning.

It is a perfect book for teenagers who wants to get introduced in the backroom genre but it may be a little unoriginal for older people.
I expected it to have a more absorbing atmosphere and felt a bit basic for me. The story practically was a written version of the Backrooms video games that you can find nowadays.

It’s a super unique take on the back rooms. I was instantly hooked and didn’t want to put it down!

A bit awkward, had high hopes for it. Seemed copy and pasted, not much creativity here.

This would have been a good RPG.

Nice book about the backrooms. Short and with interesting characters and universe.

Es un libro muy interesante lleno de acción, misterio y superación. Además de una exploración exhaustiva de los infinitos backrooms.

The story was good but the phrases didn’t flow well between each other, a lot of hard stops. I feel like the story could have been longer, many things were left unexplained. Why almond water?
