The Backrooms

From Funny Wars
Jump to navigationJump to search

The Backrooms are a set of procedurely generated rooms that serve as the backbone of the Funnyverse. Each room represents a section of the Funnyverse that is loaded into a humans vision when they come near it. The rooms in question vary in size, but they can typically be fairly large.

Though the average human cannot see the rooms, it's possible for a paranormal being to noclip out of the wrong areas of reality and end up in them. Very few have, and even fewer have escaped, but those who have have either been sent to psychiatric wards or committed suicides. The documents of those who have escaped describe the backrooms as being characteristic of an old 1970s household. The floor is predominantly old, moist carpet, the walls are lemon yellow, further illuminated by the fluorescent lights, and the humming of the lights in question are the only thing you can hear. Dead bodies are often found in the backrooms, but they aren't in surplus as bodies decompose into thin air within two days of death in the backrooms. If one wishes to escape the backrooms, they must simply pretend they are still in reality, and must pretend they live there. After three days of pretending, they warp back into reality near the place where they noclipped. At least two beings have died of starvation right after coming out of the backrooms.

A human, too, can be placed into the backrooms if they happen to run into a Muleta. The Muleta must be crafted with the fur of a golden freddy. Once in, a human can escape through the same means as a supernatural being, but as the backrooms are largely undocumented, most are unaware how.

Theorized Deaths

At least 3 deaths are theorized to have been linked to the Backrooms. Except for Jeffery Naem, who was admitted to a psychiatric ward, all deaths thought to be linked to the Backrooms have been labelled as disappearances.

Trivia

Information below is written from a meta perspective

  • The Backrooms were added to the lore mid 2020, before analogue horror took off and before Kane Pixels's famous "found footage" film. It was added as a result of a website somebody made, and the person who added it - IoI_xD - was actually unaware it was from 4chan; he just thought his friend had came up with it.
  • In one of the spirtual successors, Funny Journey, a second level to the Backrooms exists, which is a physical manifestation of the Windows 95 Maze screensaver.
