A missing twin. A journal left behind. A doorway to something not meant to be found.
It's been a year since Mae Rose vanished without a trace - no clues, no witnesses, just silence where her voice used to be. Her sister hasn't stopped searching.
When a torn journal appears in an abandoned mall, it leads to whispers of impossible places: flickering lights, endless yellow halls, and the space between worlds known only as the Backrooms.
To find Mae, she'll have to leave everything behind - including reality itself.

Where am i?
The story follows three friends-Adrian, Teo, and Lin-whose ordinary afternoon of games and banter quickly turns into an unexpected adventure. Their playful dynamic contrasts sharply with the eerie, abandoned hospital they decide to explore. The building is decayed and haunted by time: peeling walls, broken toys, and faint remnants of children's drawings hint at its former life. Shadows stretch across the corridors, and the air is thick with dust and a sense of foreboding. Adrian is calm and confident, often leading the way; Teo is impulsive and thrill-seeking, eager to dive headfirst into the unknown; and Lin is cautious and observant, her instincts finely tuned to danger. Together, they navigate the hospital's dark hallways, uncovering signs of its past and hints that something unseen may still linger inside. The story balances moments of lighthearted camaraderie with creeping tension, building a slow, suspenseful atmosphere. Every corridor, every object, every flicker of shadow contributes to a feeling that the hospital itself is alive, waiting for the intruders to make a misstep.Complete

Safe And Sound (Backrooms)
All your friends left behind, away from a world you prayed no one else would know of. One you wished you never knew of. The Backrooms were just a creepypasta, you thought. At least, until you had done the same as any other poor soul, and clipped through the ground after tripping over a strangely rooted tree. It had been what felt like days since you got here. You managed to make it through a few levels and enter level 37: Sublimity. Otherwise known as the pool rooms. You're at least glad you had read up on them before falling into this hell hole. You just hope you can make it out of here, which you already knew you couldn't. You would have to stay here and learn to survive. Alone? #1 in #dreamcore - 11/13/23Complete

The Backrooms: Echoes of the Abyss
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.Complete
