A YouTuber, known for exploring strange places online, suddenly finds himself in a reality unlike any he's ever seen before. With no warning, he is transported into the Backrooms-an endless maze of yellow, buzzing halls.
At first, he doesn't know what this place is, only that it feels wrong. His only tools are his camera and his instincts. As he records his journey, he documents the strange physics of the halls: flickering fluorescent lights, damp moldy carpets, and looping geometry that shouldn't exist.
But then, he discovers something impossible-an old, leather-bound book hidden beneath the carpet. The book holds entries from others who were trapped before him, revealing fragments of survival tips, warnings, and evidence that this nightmare has consumed many lives across time.
Through both his first-person field notes and the cold analysis of researchers who later review the footage, the story dives deep into quantum anomalies, non-Euclidean geometry, and theories of dimensional collapse.
Is there a way out? Or is the science of the Backrooms destined to remain unsolved?

Release Me
Highest ranked- #10 in action 2/16/2017 A promotion. That's all I wanted. I didn't want to run for my life. I didn't want to be kidnapped. I didn't want to face death. I didn't want to find out my whole life was a lie. I just wanted a bloody promotion. Guess fate had other plans? **** The cold air fanned over my face as I opened the door. The exit door lead to the back of the building so it was pitch black. I leaned against the wall trying to control myself. Blood was running down my arm and head. My hair was stuck to my face from all the sweat and blood. Everything was spinning around me and the ground seemed like it was shaking. Groaning I sat down and put my head on my knees. He knows who I am. He knows how I look like. He knows where I work so possible knows where I live. I am not safe anymore... no where. While I was in my own world I heard faint sounds behind me but I didn't bother to look or run away. The footsteps got closer and I was pretty sure it was Walker's men. I should run. I should try to fight. But what's the point in trying to run away? He would eventually find me and if he has his way he would most likely kill me. If this is my fate then why am I trying to fight it? I felt someone harshly grab my waist and pull me up and I complied. They dragged me down the alley and into the busy street. I heard the opening of a car and the next thing I knew I was being thrown into a car. My head hit the hard leather seat and the door shut behind me. Maybe this is how my life will end. Maybe I should just let it happen. Maybe I was destined to die alone as a no one. With that I let the darkness consume me.Complete

But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching.
