    A dying town launches a rebranding campaign that no one seems to be running. The billboards appear overnight. The slogans don't explain themselves. A diner waitress says nobody puts them up, and nobody takes them down. A couple arrives expecting ironic tourism and finds something closer to a live experiment. Beauchêne doesn't ask visitors to believe anything. It only asks them to stay. To notice. To participate. What begins as small-town decay becomes a slow, sideways unraveling... murals that feel instructional, civic programs that behave like dares, and a town that seems increasingly aware of the people passing through it. A surreal, slow-burn satire about American decline, anti-branding, and the strange comfort of entropy. Meaning doesn't collapse here. It rebrands. Entropy is a vibe. Decline tastes like caramel. Welcome to Beauchêne. You're here now.

    Liliana is a skilled operative, but reluctant-pulled back into the nightmarish and surreal world of the Backrooms, a labyrinth where reality bends and horrors hide in every shadow. Tasked with finding missing scientists who vanished while exploring the mysterious Complex, she joins a team of specialists: Zona, sharp and unflinching; Owen, sarcastic but capable; and Pepper and Poppy, steady and resourceful. Their first challenge: Level 0-the endless yellow hallways with damp, squelching carpets, flickering fluorescent lights, and a metallic, musty stench that seeps into their bones. Loops, false exits, and unsettling noises toy with their senses, while a lurking entity-tall, thin, and unnervingly noodle-like-hunts anything that moves. Forced to hide in a cramped vent, the team discovers a hidden room once inhabited by a girl named Violet. Dusty blankets, neatly lined almond water bottles, fairy lights, and dozens of meticulously kept notebooks reveal her desperate struggle to survive. One journal holds a single crucial entry, describing how she "noclipped" from school into the Backrooms-and learned its deadly rules. Her guidance becomes an invaluable map through the madness. With Violet's notes and her own experience, Liliana quietly takes command, guiding the team through twisting, hazardous corridors where every sound, shadow, and smell could mean death. Each step deeper into the labyrinth tests their strategy, trust, and courage, as survival depends on skill, nerves, and the will to face the unimaginable. Suspense, horror, and surrealism collide in a story that will grip readers from the first page, pulling them into a world where the rules of reality no longer apply-and escaping may not even be an option.

    A story of a dragon who wanders a place that should not exist. Endless rooms. Shimmering water. No exits. This story is about adapting, remembering and becoming. Her name will matter-eventually.

    A quiet poetry collection about repetition, uncertainty, and the spaces where meaning softens rather than disappears. From familiar circles to fading paths, unnamed feelings, and distant echoes, these poems listen instead of rushing toward answers. For anyone learning how to stay with what lingers.

    No one notices when it starts. That's the point. This isn't a story about monsters, ghosts, or violence. It's about attention - and what happens when it becomes unnecessary. Each chapter changes something small. Not in the world. In you. There is no twist. There is no explanation. And nothing here needs to be watched to continue. You don't have to keep reading. But most people do.

    قصة نفسية غامضة عن الذاكرة، والذنب، وأصداء حبٍ لم يوجد يومًا حقًا. في عالمٍ يلتف فيه الزمن حول نفسه، يسير "ساي" باحثًا عن "ناي" - الفتاة التي اختفت في ماضيه المنسي. لكن مع كل خطوة، يقترب ليس منها... بل من الحقيقة المدفونة تحت ظلال انعكاسه هو. المرايا تهمس. والحدائق تنزف. كل اختيار يعيد تشكيل الواقع... وكل حقيقة تتطلب تضحية. (قصة شعرية تمزج الرمزية بالرعب النفسي والتأمل العاطفي.)

    One moment everything is normal. The next moment the world changes. Without warning, an ordinary walk turns into something impossible. Endless office cubicles stretch farther than they should. A massive tiled hall appears where no building should exist. Empty shopping malls glow under cold blue lights. Indoor pools and water parks sit silent, filled with warm water but no people. There are no exits. No windows to the outside. No signs of how any of these places connect. Each new room leads to another place that should not exist. As the journey continues deeper into the strange building, the spaces become larger, quieter, and more unsettling. The lights never turn off. The rooms never seem to end. And every environment feels like it was built for crowds that never arrived. Trapped in an endless chain of liminal spaces, the only option is to keep moving forward. Because stopping means staying in a place that might never let you leave.

    My first story! Hope this doesn't flop ^^' Desc: As you wander through the forest, lost in thought, day eventually turns to dusk. As you come back from thinking, you realize that you're in the middle of nowhere. The Broken Lands is a story following you, the reader, as you wander through a backrooms-style world in an attempt to get home. I'M TYPICALLY GOING TO USE THEY/THEM FOR THE READER, BUT SOMETIMES I WILL STRAY AND USE MORE FEMININE TERMS. I APOLOGIZE TO THE MEN READING. This is a horror/fantasy style story, with very little romance. So I apologize if you want romance. :^ I APOLOGIZE IF THERE ARE ANY MISPELLED WORDS/BAD GRAMMAR. MAH BRAIN IS BARELY RUNNING HALF THE TIME (PG 13+)

    ACANDRAS awakens in a space that is neither sleep nor waking. Words exist, but speech does not. A voice speaks. A path begins. This is not a story of heroes or worlds, but of an essence in transit-a soul moving from the vastness of the universe toward birth. Along the way, each encounter, each threshold, will shape what must be learned once life begins. ACANDRAS is a speculative, symbolic tale about becoming human, about memory before memory, and about the invisible journey that precedes every life.

    Mostly made as a collection of various levels I've made. Accepting most requests, can be simple and I'll usually branch off from it if it's something simple to make it interesting. Sending me a direct message (Deluxe Kaleido#8162) is the best way for me to see any requests. Have a good night, morning, or evening.
