Typical behavior: – Active hunting. – Immediate reaction to noise, movement, or light. – Use of the environment to corner.

Risks: – Prolonged pursuits. – Extreme physical and mental fatigue. – Small mistakes can often be fatal.

Lore notes: Class 3 entities mark the point where survival depends more on fleeing than exploring. They are the limit for most vagrants.

Role-playing use: Direct terror, intense chases, critical decisions.

ENTITIES: CLASS 2 (MODERATE THREAT)

Definition: Class 2 entities represent a real but situational threat. They do not attack constantly, although they can become aggressive under specific conditions.

General characteristics: – Territorial or reactive behavior. – They can chase for short distances. – Capable of causing serious injuries if they are confronted at close range. – They don't hunt continuously, but they take advantage of mistakes.

Awareness: Functional consciousness. They recognize simple patterns, remember recent stimuli, and can learn basic behaviors.

Interaction: Observation from a distance is possible, but risky. Evasion is usually viable if one acts calmly and silently. Direct confrontation is not recommended.

Typical behavior: – Limited patrolling. – Reaction to noise or light. – Short and direct attacks.

Risks: – Being detected after making minor mistakes. – Believing that they will not pursue you. – Getting trapped in enclosed areas.

Lore notes: Class 2 entities are responsible for many casualties due to negligence. They are not the most lethal, but they are consistent.

Role-playing use: Dangerous but avoidable encounters, active tension, punishment for impulsive decisions.

ENTITIES: CLASS 1 (LOW THREAT)

Definition: Class 1 entities represent a low threat. They are not actively hostile, but can cause harm under certain conditions.

General characteristics: – They do not attack without reason or provocation. – They tend to avoid direct contact. – They can react if a human invades their space, makes noise, or interacts recklessly. – The damage they cause is usually limited or circumstantial.

Awareness: They possess basic or semi-consciousness. They recognize simple stimuli such as movement, sound, or human presence.

Interaction: It's possible to observe them from a distance without consequences. Direct contact is not recommended, but it's not always fatal. Some may flee before attacking.

Typical behavior: – Passive surveillance. – Defensive reactions. – Slow or predictable movements.

Risks: – Underestimating its capacity for damage. – To provoke unexpected responses. – Mistaking them for completely safe entities.

Lore notes: Many early deaths occur due to overconfidence in the face of Class 1 entities. They are not predators, but neither are they harmless.

Role-playing use: Moderate tension, manageable encounters, learning to be cautious.

ENTITIES: CLASS 0 (NO THREAT)

Definition: Class 0 entities do not pose a direct threat. They are not hostile and show no intent to cause harm. Some do not even possess consciousness.

General characteristics: – They do not attack or react aggressively. – They can completely ignore the human. – Their behavior is passive, repetitive, or non-existent. – They do not chase, they do not hunt, and they do not cause physical harm.

Awareness: It can be nonexistent or very limited. Some function as "elements of the environment" rather than as living beings.

Interaction: Contact doesn't usually have immediate consequences. Even so, observing them or interacting with them too much can have minor psychological effects on certain levels.

Typical examples (according to fandom): – Static entities that do not move. – Inert or decorative presences. – Phenomena cataloged as an entity due to anomaly, not due to life.

Indirect risks: – Survivor overconfidence. – Staying at one level for too long, believing it to be completely safe. – Some may serve as a “lure” towards dangerous areas, without their own intention.

Lore notes: Class 0 entities are often ignored in reports because they do not represent an immediate threat, but their existence reinforces the strange nature of Backrooms.

Role-playing use: Setting, passive tension, false calm, atmosphere building.

SURVIVAL CLASS: CLASS 0 Definition: Class 0 corresponds to levels considered safe and stable. They present minimal or no direct threat to the survivor. Main features: – Total absence of confirmed hostile entities. – Stable environment, without sudden changes or aggressive anomalies. – Physical risk is almost nonexistent. – Low psychological risk, although prolonged monotony can affect sanity. Entities: No hostile entities have been detected. If any are present, they are passive, inert, or unconfirmed. Resources: They usually contain basic resources such as almond water or simple objects, although not always in abundance. Time and physics: Relatively stable. Time flows almost normally compared to other levels. Warnings: – “Safe” does not mean comfortable or permanent. – Prolonged exposure can cause mental disorientation. – Some Class 0 levels can serve as a transition to more dangerous classes. Lore notes: Many survivors mistake Class 0 levels for real exits, creating a false sense of security. Role-playing use: Ideal for introduction, temporary rest, narrative exploration, or transition between levels.

Almond Water Description: Sweet liquid with almond/vanilla flavor found at many levels. Effects: Restores health, hydrates, and provides light nourishment. Can be used to repel or harm certain entities such as Skin-Stealers and Dullers in emergency situations. Roleplay Notes: Essential item for survival and trade. Finding it significantly improves your ability to withstand the madness of the environment. Super Almond Water Description: A rare and scarce variant of Almond Water, thicker and with a distinctive aroma. Effects: Powerful health and sanity restorer; superior effects to the common version. Roleplay notes: Legendary item that can cure extreme gravity and be a meta-quest in dangerous explorations. Lucky Milk Description: Almond water substitute for those who cannot tolerate nuts; available in various flavors with unique effects. Effects: Hydration and nutritional benefits; may have special effects depending on flavor. Role notes: A valuable alternative that diversifies survival paths. Royal Rations Description: Packaged food ration. Effects: Provides substantial nutrition and can permanently improve health. Roleplay notes: Rare item of great value for long periods of survival. Memory Juice Description: Liquid that affects memories or health. Effects: It can restore memory or have cognitive effects depending on the context. Roleplay notes: Useful for psychological narratives and sanity tests. Smiler Repellent / Smilers Fluid Description: Substance to repel Smiler entities. Effects: Reduces the probability of encounters or damage from Smilers. Role notes: Specialized for encounters with that entity. Firesalt / Fire Salt Description: Combustible glass. Effects: Can be used as a light tool or a defense/environment manipulation tool.

Enigmatic objects (The Key, The Book, The Dice, The Lantern, etc.) Rare objects with extraordinary properties: they unlock the impossible, generate random effects, or emit special light. They alter the environment or destiny; ideal for surprises and narrative progression. Sweet Bars Nutritional bars in various flavors, commonly found at home or in commercial settings. They provide quick energy, a slight boost of energy, and temporary relief from anxiety. Useful for short excursions. Canned Goods / Preserves Cans of assorted foods, typical of kitchens or industrial areas. Providing long-term nutrition and safe storage; some even improve physical endurance. Essential for medium-term survival. Animated Plush Toys Toys with a life of their own, gentle gestures, and soft movements. They provide companionship, stress relief, and a temporary sense of well-being. Useful in friendly or comforting narratives. Entity Lures Objects that attract or distract specific entities. They allow you to avoid dangerous encounters or guide creatures to controlled areas. A useful strategy in hostile levels without combat. Rare Maps Maps showing partially fixed routes between levels, with anomalies. They facilitate orientation, escape routes, or special areas; incomplete information, encouraging exploration and discovery. Anomalous Time Signatures They indicate unusual directions or the location of important objects. They provide reliable guidance and facilitate the search for artifacts or exits, supporting precise exploration mechanics. Inter-Level Signal Radios They receive transmissions from other levels or explorers. They allow remote communication, warnings, and clues about objects or entities. Perfect for survival and coordination between explorers.

RULES AND CONSEQUENCES

1. Attack entities

• Most are resistant or invulnerable; common weapons don't work.
• Attacking them may cause them to become more aggressive or seek out the homeless person.
• Example: Smilers and Skin-Stealers react by increasing hostility if they are attacked.

2. Cheating or violating rules

• Levels that are like "games" or have rules imposed by entities punish cheating or disobedience.
• Consequences: attacks, transformation, loss of objects, or changes in level.
• Example: Level -962, breaking the rules of the game triggers retaliation from the entities.

3. Moral code of levels

• Some levels apply punishments if the homeless person is deemed to have acted "wrong".
• It may include attacks, torture, or supernatural effects.
• Example: levels with entities that judge actions according to their internal code.

4. Reckless interactions with the environment

• Interacting incorrectly with specific objects or areas can trigger hazards.
• Consequences: appearance of entities, loss of orientation or effects of sanity.
• Example: touching forbidden objects in labyrinthine levels causes hostile entities to appear.

5. Role-playing tips

• Maintaining respect and caution with entities reduces risk.
• Observing patterns and behaviors of entities helps to anticipate consequences.
• Following the implicit rules of each level protects the explorer and allows for survival.

Summary: The Backrooms punishes reckless actions or disobedience according to the narrative logic of each level; respecting entities and the environment is key to survival.

Backrooms are an anomalous parallel dimension, separate from normal reality. They manifest as artificial, expansive, and repetitive liminal spaces, designed incoherently and oppressively. They follow neither human logic nor a clear purpose. Access occurs through a phenomenon called noclip. A person passes through physical reality unintentionally and without control, traversing solid surfaces and being expelled into the Backrooms. Noclips can happen anywhere, although some areas are more prone to them. The destination after a noclip is unpredictable: it can be any known or unknown level. Backrooms are composed of levels. Each level has its own environment, physical rules, and hazards. Some levels are stable, while others change over time or react to human presence. There is no complete map; information is often incomplete, contradictory, or false. Physics is unstable. Gravity, space, and causality can be altered. Time does not flow constantly: it can accelerate, slow down, or lose its meaning. This causes mental disorientation and psychological exhaustion. There are entities. Some possess consciousness, intelligence, and recognizable behaviors; others act automatically or instinctively, as if they were part of the environment. Not all are hostile, but almost all are dangerous. Their logic is not human, and they do not follow moral norms. Resources are scarce and unpredictable. Useful objects can appear without explanation and disappear just as quickly. Trusting one's surroundings is a common mistake. Escaping the Backrooms is rare. Not all levels have exits, and some "exits" lead to worse places. Survival depends on caution, adaptability, and accepting that not everything has an explanation.

ADDITIONAL KEY CONCEPTS

1. Liminal spaces

• Backrooms are empty or strange transitional spaces (hallways, rooms), generating a feeling of disconnection and displacement.

2. Levels as complex environments

Each level has its own architecture, anomalies, themes, and phenomena. Not just "large rooms," but interactive and heterogeneous structures.

3. Attracting entities

Entities attract each other and groups of people. Their behavior varies depending on the proximity of other beings; they do not always act in isolation.

4. Effects on health

• Looking directly at entities causes deterioration of health, hallucinations, sensory distortion and physical changes (temperature, sweating, heart rate).

5. Entity Cycles and Patterns

• Some entities follow cyclical patterns of appearance or disappearance. Knowing these patterns allows us to anticipate behavior and plan safe routes.

6. Colonies and organizations

• Some levels have human colonies or other organized life forms, with their own goals and resources. They change the dynamics of survival and exploration.

Role-playing notes

• These concepts help AI to correctly interpret environments, entities, and risks.
• They allow dynamic combinations of levels, objects, events, and entities for narrative and survival.
