RPG Backrooms [Fandom]

The levels are what make up The Backrooms as a whole. Levels can be diverse in shape and size: certain levels may be outdoors, while other levels may be indoors. A level is a spatial anomaly, infinite or finite, that has strange properties that differentiate it from other levels. The most common places within the Backrooms are their numerous corridors, large structures with a labyrinthine shape that can disorient some. Due to the entities and the lack of stable geometry in some levels, these levels can be challenging for those who wish to traverse them. In addition, levels can be home to entities, objects, and properties that are part of the Backroom ecosystem. While the places within The Frontrooms have a defined climate, location, and time, these three things no longer apply to the levels of The Backrooms. Levels can fluctuate over time, slowly change their properties, and may cease to exist altogether. Levels can also have sublevels, which are variations of a level. These are indicated by a decimal point (e.g., Level 37.1) and are similar to their main level, albeit with slight and noticeable variations. It should be noted that there are many more variables of different liminal spaces, as they are infinite.

The Frontrooms (Ordinary Reality) is the original dimension from which all the Wanderers come. It represents the Earth and reality as we know it. It is the only physical space considered "completely real" and is the ultimate goal of the vast majority of survivors seeking to escape the liminal loop.

The Poolrooms (Level 37 - "Sublimity") It is an infinite complex of rooms and corridors built entirely with white tiles and partially submerged in warm and crystal clear water. It lacks entities in its surface area, which gives it a very low danger classification.

Typologies of Common Environments in the Backrooms To categorize the immensity of documented environments, the levels are usually grouped into different environmental typologies based on everyday structures of our real world.

Libraries The libraries in the back rooms, exemplified by Level 80 ("The Grand Library") or Level 75 ("Local Library"), represent the archetype of intellectual isolation and sepulchral silence.

Appearance: Endless mazes of mahogany wood shelves housing millions of books written in indecipherable languages, anomalous characters, or completely blank pages. The lights are usually dim and the floor is usually covered by carpets that absorb any sound of footsteps.

The main danger at these levels does not usually lie in the physical entities (which are very few or docile), but in the psychological effect of isolation. And the repetitive geometric architecture makes it extremely easy to get lost in its corridors.

Hospitals This medical infrastructure manifests itself strongly in areas such as Level 14 ("The Military Hospital") and Level 109 ("Neon Hospital").

Appearance: Endless hallways of gray concrete walls or decayed tiles, illuminated by flickering neon lights or broken fluorescent lamps. They house rusty surgery rooms, dust-covered stretchers, cabinets with old medical instruments and traces of biological substances on the floor.

They are very unstable and dangerous environments (Class 3 and 4). Outdated hospital equipment can come to life in an anomalous way, projecting syringes, thermometers, and flying scalpels at intruders. Some wards are highly contaminated with anomalous pathogens or radioactive gases that induce amnesia and accelerated neurological collapse, with high infiltration of aggressive creatures lurking from emergency rooms. There are also clean hospital corridor environments with windows facing outwards.

Parking lots are described in levels such as Level 35 ("An Empty Car Park") and Level 4.2 ("The Parking Lot of Fog").

Appearance: Large expanses of smooth asphalt or gray multi-story concrete, typically devoid of vehicles. They feature lampposts that emit a warm glow, but are shrouded in a dense perpetual dark fog that reduces the visibility of explorers to a few meters.

Under normal conditions, the level of entities is very low (Class 1 and variables), which makes them ideal for transit if caution is maintained. However, they are prone to unpredictable phenomena such as massive blackouts (which trigger the rate of aggressive entities such as Smilers).

Supermarkets and Shopping Centers Mass consumption spaces such as Level 33 ("The Infinite Mall") and Level 217 ("Lonesome Supermarket").

Appearance: Endless aisles of vintage clothing stores, endless shelves of canned food (often expired or with altered labels), and PA systems playing distorted ambient music in stony silence.

Levels such as Level 33 exhibit a phenomenon called the "Corrosion State". Upon entering, the level appears clean and safe. However, as the wanderer advances miles into the complex, the environment physically degrades: walls become moldy, standing water floods the ground, lights are turned off entirely, and visual and auditory hallucinations become so potent that they can cause physical damage, all while hordes of wild creatures such as Hounds and Smiler intrusions begin to actively besiege the explorer (Level 1 and variables). But in most levels with this environment they are usually alone or with docile creatures. Many times these places are looted for trade and barter between the groups. Almond milk and water can also be found here.

To measure the danger of each level, the backroom research community uses the Survival Difficulty System or SD. This system classifies environments using a standard scale.

Class 0 (Safe / Stable / No Entities): Levels totally devoid of biological or environmental threats, ideal for resting if you have your own provisions.

Class 1 (Safe/Stable/Entity Minimum): Predictable and low-risk environments, with extremely rare entity sightings.

Class 2 (Stable/Few Entities): Levels that begin to present moderate environmental risks or a low population of creatures.

Class 3 (Unsafe / Unstable / Moderate Number of Entities): Areas where geometry can be altered and the presence of threats is constant, requiring mandatory survival equipment.

Class 4 (Unsafe / Unstable / Large Number of Entities): Highly dangerous levels that should be avoided unless you possess extreme weaponry and physical preparation.

Class 5 (Unsafe/Unstable/Entity Infestation): Areas of almost guaranteed risk of death due to the massive presence of hostile creatures and environmental collapse.

Special Classes: They include the Habitable class (for stable levels capable of sustaining human communities indefinitely), the Deadzone class (biologically lethal areas due to toxicity, radiation or environments impossible for life) and the Variable class (levels with very different danger sectors).

The Entities are the main inhabitants and life in The Backrooms, aside from the wanderers. They can range from docile to highly dangerous, and one should have a general knowledge of the most common Entities to ensure their safety while roaming the Backrooms. Due to the nature of The Backrooms, it is possible that there are an infinite number of unknown entities. In addition, there are certain entities of which only one copy exists.

The entities that inhabit the backrooms exhibit anomalous patterns of evolutionary adaptation, where the distortion of the human figure and the exploitation of the psychology of the survivor are fundamental constants. Through the records documented by exploration organizations such as the Major Explorer Group (M.E.G.), the biological profiles of the most recurrent specimens have been delimited.

Smilers (Entity 3) The so-called Smilers or "Smilers" represent one of the most common threats, inhabiting any level that presents absolute darkness, with special prevalence in levels 2 and 3. Physiologically, its appearance is reduced to a pair of highly reflective eyes and a dilated jaw that exhibits multiple sharp teeth, constantly glowing in the gloom. Although there are persistent rumors about the existence of a non-human, alien physical body with unnaturally arranged limbs, it remains completely invisible to the human eye. Their behavior is purely predatory and is activated by light and sound stimuli. The entity is attracted to artificial light and will actively pursue any powered up devices. Survival protocol calls for immediately turning off all sources of light and slowly backing away without making shrill noises that trigger the creature's aggression.

Deathmoths (Entity 4) Classified under the scientific nomenclature of Gigas Heterocera, they represent one of the most massive and dangerous species in the Backrooms. With a colossal size and a wingspan of approximately 1.5 meters, they possess gray wings covered with coarse, stiff hair, a thorax protected by a dark shell, and a hypertrophied abdomen that ends in a pair of caudal appendages. It has an abnormal respiratory system similar to those of birds. The sexual dimorphism in this species determines its dangerousness. Females are colossal and aggressive predators that attack by using brute force to hunt humans, Facelings, Skin-Stealers, and Dullers as a source of nutrients. Males, although considerably less aggressive, attack in swarms if provoked. Their nervous system is highly developed to detect the slightest environmental disturbance, but they have an immature brain that makes their behavior erratic and unpredictable. Defense protocol calls for the use of protective suits, the use of lighting sources to confuse their sensors, and the use of weapons such as shotguns or crossbows.

Hounds (Entity 8) They are deformed humanoids that move exclusively on their four limbs, imitating the locomotion of a canine. They feature an extremely thin body covered by pale skin, short, sharp claws on hands and feet, and a head dominated by a dense mane of straight black hair that hides most of their face. Their oral cavity is disproportionately developed, with additional rows of serrated teeth capable of shattering physical protection. They lack visible eyes and nostrils, they use the hair on their heads as sensory vibrissae to track prey through hearing. Although they are aggressive predators that will chase anyone who shows weakness or tries to flee, they are intimidated by direct, firm eye contact.

Facelings (Entity 9) Facelings constitute one of the densest populations in the Backrooms, characterized by their morphology almost identical to that of humans but with the total or partial absence of facial features. They are divided into 3 main categories based on the preservation of their features:

True Facelings: They represent 80% of the total population and completely lack any facial features, presenting a smooth and even skin surface on the face. Partial Facelings: They account for 19.9% of specimens and dysfunctionally retain one or two isolated features, such as a mouth without lips or empty eye sockets. False Facelings: They represent 0.1% of the population; They have a seemingly normal face that fades when they experience negative emotions or physical stress.

Their behavior varies drastically depending on their age and type. Adults are typically passive and docile; They inhabit urban levels with human infrastructure where they mechanically imitate daily activities, demonstrating a lack of understanding of the purpose of such actions. They communicate with each other telepathically, through sign language or in writing in various languages. In contrast, child Facelings are nervous, clumsies, and unpredictable, interacting with humans through sudden scares and territorial ambushes.

Skin-Stealers (Entity 10) Pose one of the greatest threats of infiltration into human backroom colonies. In their natural state, they are humanoids of great stature (approx. two meters), pale yellow skin, white and sunken eyes, and hypertrophied musculature with three-toed claws. Its skin is thick and extremely elastic, with microscopic pores that function in a similar way to suction cups. This allows them to adhere to the severed skin of their victims, molding it and injecting fluids to prevent its decomposition, achieving a perfect human disguise.

Skin-Stealers are solitary and extremely cunning hunters. It alternates between two physiological states: a state of satiety in which it is docile and wanders aimlessly, and a state of extreme starvation in which it actively stalks solitary humans to devour their flesh and usurp their identity. They possess the ability to record and reproduce human speech with remarkable accuracy, although they lack the intellectual capacity to understand language; they simply repeat memorized phrases to generate confusion and attract their prey. The only foolproof method to distinguish them from a human is their blood, which is completely translucent and gelatinous in consistency.

Wretches or Insanities (Entity 15) They are humanoid entities that resemble corpses in an advanced state of decomposition or zombies. Its appearance is characterized by dry, scaly and reddish-brown skin, plagued by perforations and pustules from which a dark and dense fluid oozes. Their bone structure is skeletal, but this does not diminish their physical strength which is superhuman, allowing them to break solid barriers with ease. Unlike other entities native to the Backrooms, they are the direct result of the biological and psychological degradation of the humans who enter there. This degenerative process, known as the "Miserable Cycle" or "Roth Syndrome," is triggered by prolonged deprivation of vital resources such as water, food, and sleep, accelerated by social isolation and mental despair. The transformation consists of several phases ranging from dermal irritation and episodes of paranoia to total neurological collapse, at which point the individual completely loses his consciousness and identity and becomes a purely aggressive bug dominated by constant pain. Their behavior is marked by constant panic, aggressively attacking any living being due to their state of confusion and neurological pain.

Partygoers (Entity 67) and Partypoopers (Entity 68) The interaction between Entity 67 and Entity 68 represents one of the most iconic and tragic mythological arcs developed in the Backrooms, illustrating an ideological and physical war between hedonistic chaos and humanitarian preservation. Partygoers are humanoids with bright yellow skin and leather-like texture, characterized by a smiley grimace carved into their face that distills blood fluids. Their upper limbs are long, flexible and end in suction mouths equipped with dental hooks capable of digesting and assimilating human tissue instantly after physical contact. Internally, their anatomy is an aberrant biological amalgam that combines human organs, Phobic Centipedes structures, and crustacean tissues, with a hidden thoracic cavity protected by a shell from which additional clawed arms extend for viscera extraction. In contrast are the Partypoopers, peaceful humanoids who wear dark hooded jackets, jeans and sneakers, covering their faces with a blue mask with a sad expression. Their behavior is purely philanthropic, guiding human refugees to "The Boredom Room" on Level 52, where they offered asylum, shelter, and medical resources. According to the records kept, this species was almost extinct after its absolute defeat in the large-scale military conflict known as "The War of Fun". Where they fought an intense battle against the Partygoers.

Any human being who suffers an accidental slip outside the physical limits of reality—known as non-clipping—enters the backrooms under the basic condition of Vagabond. When crossing this quantum frontier, the human body undergoes a process called "magnetization", which alters its molecular structure and gives it properties to tolerate the anomalous environment.

Objects in Backrooms are anomalous items that can be found and removed from levels. They are diverse in their usefulness, danger, rarity, and origin. Some can be of great help for survival, such as almond water; others dangerous, such as Liquid Pain and some more mysterious ones such as BackOS. Other times objects can be derived from the fusion of two compounds or be created artificially.

BackOS Location: Various Levels Oddity: Not so common Colloquially known as "The Backroom Operating System", it is an operating system found exclusively in the Backrooms, mainly in office-themed levels and inside older computers. It is written in an unknown programming language, but reminiscent of a Unix system. BackOS can connect to any native internet connection in the Backrooms. This only happens with the native internet connections of the Backrooms, you cannot connect to a conventional network. But you can connect to an extensive database created by humans within the Backrooms that includes information about various levels, entities, objects, phenomena, and much more. In addition, it also has a built-in app that functions as a chat room.

Almond Water Location: Various Levels Rarity: Common is a transparent liquid substance that has a sweet almond flavor, which can be accompanied by a vanilla and nutty flavor. The way it appears always varies, as it can be packaged in metal thermoses, plastic and glass bottles, in cans and boxes or it can also be dispensed by immense bodies of water or by vending machines on some levels. Drinking Almond Water on a regular basis will provide your consumer with multiple benefits. The most obvious is its nutritional value in the body, as it contains vitamins and necessary nutrients, such as proteins, sodium and fats.

One bottle of Almond Water can equate to a healthy meal of 500 to 600 calories, which means that just consuming three to five bottles of Almond Water a day will provide enough energy for the average person. In addition to its nutritional value, Almond Water can cure minor symptoms of Backroom diseases, whether caused by harmful entities or objects. It improves the healing process in the body and efficiently combats the problems of loss of sanity, giving an aura of well-being to its consumer. Any other water found in the Backrooms is harmful to long-term health.

Pain Liquid Location: Various Levels Rarity: Common It is an acidic substance with a translucent red hue. It is extremely dangerous to wanderers due to its fatal effects, being considered the deadliest and deadliest object known to date. It is a kind of derivative of almond water. Both objects can be harmful, only Almond Water is exclusively harmful to entities while Liquid Pain itself affects any living thing in general. The nutritional content and chemical components of both objects are exactly the same for both cases. The only difference would be the pH level, since the pH of Almond Water is 7 (being considered neutral), while that of Liquid Pain can drop to 1, being as acidic as gastric juice.

Vending Machines Location: Levels with electric light Rarity: Variable These are fairly rare objects to find in most levels in the Backrooms, being common only in a few. The objects offered by these machines usually vary, such as chocolates, snacks, carbonated water, between snacks.

Use Trade, some colonies are dedicated to taking these machines in order to trade with other groups for rare items. Survival, food and water.

Soaps Location: Levels with bathrooms, wild environments Rarity: Rare This is a rare chemical in the Backrooms. They take on the appearance of ordinary soaps. They are generally found on levels that contain bathrooms, changing rooms or similar; They have also been seen in outdoor levels or in caves. They come in multiple colors, sizes, and shapes. They usually appear in sinks, shelves, inside packages or directly found in natural environments as a kind of shapeless solid (There are solids and liquids). They are used for trade, intended for personal hygiene.

Milk Location: Level 4, Level 11, etc.Rarity : Medium Common This drink is composed entirely of Soy and natural preservatives, while having a null ability to have sugars, flavorings and artificial colors. it is one of the few great substitutes for almond water for people who are allergic to this drink and nuts. There are strawberry, chocolate, matcha and banana.

Homemade Chocolate Location: Majority Rarity: Rare The item's appearance is that of an unmarked aluminum-wrapped ordinary chocolate bar. It is usually fragmented into smaller pieces by blows or slightly melted by the ambient heat of the level). When you taste them, the taste is like something homemade or similar to candy that was tasted in the past, such as sweets of an old brand or other nostalgic flavors. In turn, it seems to be incapable of spoiling, being invulnerable to decomposition or environmental pollution. Added to this is the ability to distract entities because they are attracted to the smell of exposed chocolate, being very useful for escaping.

Standing Water Location: Level 7, Chaotic Slide Complex, The Basement, among others Rarity: Common Item Found in most levels. Although its appearance does not convey danger, it is actually deadly. It is easy to recognize by its cloudy color.

While some wanderers describe the Backrooms as an isolated and dangerous place, where the chance of survival was impoverished, many others have seen it as a possibility to form societies throughout the levels of the Backrooms. Groups are a number of people who coexist in a certain place for a goal, usually survival.

Larger Group of Explorers Logo: A green eagle with yellow wings. Abbreviation: MEG Motto: We are the light of hope, we are the MEG. We promise to protect as many as we can and explore the extraordinary places that no one has ever seen before. We'll keep you safe.

The Backroom

Settlers Homepage: The Backroom Settlers Logo: A flag divided horizontally in half. The lower part is yellow, the upper part is white, with an interlace in the middle of white with black borders. Motto: We the Settlers will form a thriving coalition in the Backrooms forever and ever. If the group ever collapses, it will live on in the memory of millions.

It is a multinational federation of Backrooms that has been in existence since the 1920s. The group formed around the then capital, Dalt Base on Level 1. Since then, The Settlers of the Backrooms has spread, participated in many conflicts, and lived. many of the low periods of the Backrooms. The current capital is called Nueva Cali and is at Level 4.

Department against the Misuse of Objects in Backrooms Abbreviation: UIOB Motto: Avoid, store, use. It is a department against the Misuse of Objects in the Backrooms. Despite being public, it is very mysterious, appearing on very few occasions and with no participation in events external to its main function. This has led to several attempts to liquidate this group for several years due to lack of information and main directive by various groups that have political control in the Backrooms; but they have remained intact.

FM Infinite Runners Logo: A blue microphone with the initials FM. Informing and entertaining 24 hours a day. Infinite Corridors FM (or ICFM for short) is an organization specializing in broadcasting. Despite being an independent group, it is also a collaborative group that offers its services to other groups to facilitate communication among themselves. They offer entertainment and information 24 hours a day, broadcasting music, history, breaking news and including guides and recommendations for survival.

The Logo Initiative : A white X within a yellow circular outline, inside a black circle. Motto: Freedom is our right, and we defend it tooth and nail.

The Freedom Convergence Initiative, better known as The Initiative, is an influential group within the Backrooms, being depicted as a figure of order, independence, and freedom, becoming popular thanks to their rivalry and constant state of confrontation against the expansionism of The Foundation and other groups.

The Second Logo Ring : A black alcon within a brown circular outline, within a white circle. Motto: Our past was written with effort. Our future will be written with innovation.

It is a group known for its activities related to the manufacture, invention and marketing of weapons, equipment and other related products. Despite having a military branch, the faction has invested all its resources in arms production.

Commandare Infinitus Logo: Planet earth with the PI symbol in the middle. It is an enigmatic group, considered one of the oldest existing within the Backrooms. They dedicate their efforts to collecting, studying, analyzing, and understanding data regarding anomalies, levels, and everything that is considered "infinite." It does not have a military force, it is entirely dedicated to the scientific study of the backrooms.

Guardians of the Back Room Logo: A yellow infinity symbol. Motto: Join us now if you want to help and give hope to people who don't have it!

The Backrooms Guardians are a Backrooms organization dedicated to helping those homeless people who are wandering without resources or hope in the Backrooms.

Alpha Logo Security Order: 3 Black Triangles intertwined with each other. Abbreviation: ASO Motto: The future is here and now.

The ASO is one of the most influential factions, an advanced and strategic organization dedicated to transforming the Backrooms through terraforming, technology, and order.

The TBA is an enigmatic group with a lot of information lost in time, whose main objective is to achieve the total and definitive extermination of the entities of the Backrooms. They never show themselves to anyone nor do they seem to have a visible face. However, they exist, and everyone knows it.

The Logo Foundation : A Red Sun. Motto: Order. Control. Permanence is one of the most immense groups within the Backrooms, known to be the most infamous faction, known primarily for its centralized organization, structure, and authority, giving it the appearance of a totalitarian state. Its objectives have changed over time.

It is a technology company that constantly seeks to create or improve objects in the Backrooms in order to sell them and make the lives of homeless people. Despite this, they have recently become involved in some controversies.

The phenomena are various strange and unexplained occurrences that occur within The Backrooms: unexplained and unnatural irregularities that are usually not fully understood. Phenomena are known for defying the laws of physics, pushing the boundaries of ideas such as time and Euclidean geometry, bending reality and submerging it in the unreal. From going through solid matter, mysterious rituals, lethal environments that occur naturally within a given space, inanimate objects that become animate, to a room that suddenly appears completely different after a blink, phenomena can include a wide range of useful or unexplained events. Caution is advised when exploring unexplored or poorly understood levels, as there is no reasonable way to know exactly what the unknown has in store for us.

Note: phenomena are those that occur in all Backrooms. While they can come from one level, they usually affect other levels and not just one.

No-Clip No-clip (verbalized as noclipping) is one of the most common phenomena that can manifest both in the Backrooms and in the real world. Describing the No-clip is usually mostly complicated. It is referred to as the "transport" of an object or person to a different place produced by a constant acceleration against some "corrupted" surface that is usually solid. This is often referred to as "going through the wall." Although the No-clip is generally used to move from one level to another, it is the same cause of many people in the real world ending up in the Backrooms by mistake. In the Backrooms, you have to look very carefully for these corrupt spaces. They will look like smooth, flawless surfaces, but they can be easily traversed. The No-clip happens involuntarily and randomly. They are hard to find in the real world. Much more difficult in the Backrooms.

Meditative No-clip The No-clip has its own variant, which is the Meditative No-clip. Meditative Noclipping is an alternative No-clip technique that allows people to no-clip from almost anywhere in the Backrooms by simply closing their eyes and focusing their mind on the concept of nothingness. To do this, your mind must not be too energetic and impatient, nor too inattentive and unfocused, and it cannot be preoccupied with the past, nor paranoid about the future. Meditation involves focusing on the breath and observing the gap between inhalation and exhalation. Thoughts should flow freely and then disappear, similar to breathing. If you can concentrate on that, you can experience a Meditative No-clip Event. During this, one feels as if falling through a void with one's eyes closed. To observers it seems that one has fallen "on the ground". Surprise usually causes the wanderers to quickly open their eyes, discovering that they have been transported a short distance. However, keeping your eyes closed for longer may result in a more distant teleportation within The Backrooms. This ability allows wanderers to instantly teleport through multiple levels and evade groups of hostile entities. Although useful, few homeless people know about it and/or can master it. This No-Clip is random, you can't control which level to go to or know where they will appear.

Yes and No Yes: Use the No-clip as an alternative or pop-up method to travel in the Backrooms. Perform the No-clip in a moderate and cautious manner.

Don't: Abusing this method or simply performing it without any precaution (this could lead to a highly lethal level).

Transition Slides These are massive networks of slides that can connect with different levels of the Backrooms. It is considered as an alternative method to travel to different levels without the need to use the no-clip, however, the way to find these slides falls on the casual. Transition slides can change position, being present in almost every level of the Backrooms with a rare tendency to appear in front of you in a timely manner. There is no prominent difference to differentiate between normal slides and transitional slides. Often these are always presented in various colors and designs with prints to suit the atmosphere of the level, or just as holes in the wall or floor. The wanderer will wake up on a different level, with no apparent trace of having used any slides. The time it takes for a slide to move a homeless person from one place to another is unknown. Since vagrants are always knocked unconscious during this transfer process, it is impossible to calculate an estimated time. There have been attempts to connect outposts via the transition slides, however, they always fail to find one. Apparently these slides are conditioned to appear per person, that is, you can only find it when you are alone. Apart from that, if you get far enough away from the slide and lose sight of it, it can disappear and change position.

Dreamcore Effect It consists of the feeling of feeling in a dream or out of place in the Backrooms. The place, despite its different structures, is all in such a way that it makes no sense and is completely random when you move from one level to another. This added to the atmosphere and the very essence of the bakcrooms, everyone who enters there will have that feeling of unreality. It is harmless, but it is present on all levels.

Although the progression of the Syndrome is highly variable (with spans ranging from a few days to several weeks), some factors that are known to accelerate its progress are mental stress, fear, physical exhaustion, staying at unstable levels, and proximity to anomalous entities. Therefore, even despite the dangers of Insanity Syndrome, there are many measures to treat and mitigate its effects. It is known that almond water can help with Insanity Syndrome, but it only slows down its progression; to completely avoid the appearance of the phenomenon, various tactics must be employed, such as regular meditation, socialization and frequent breaks to avoid exhaustion due to the psychological exhaustion that survival in The Backrooms entails. Be careful, though: most of these methods can't completely reverse the progression of Insanity Syndrome. Due to brain damage caused by prolonged exposure to volatile psychic signals, the sequelae will persist even if the person is cured of the disease.

Stage 1 The human being goes mad. Symptoms may include schizophrenia, psychosis, or any other known mental disorder. Almond water usually cures their madness.

Stage 2: During this stage, your skin will begin to turn red and raw. Almond water can heal them, but they may still have permanent scarring on their skin.

Stage 3 : Your body will gain more traits of madness. If they are of the "normal" variety at Level 0, they will start smiling constantly and lose the ability to change their expression. They will scream in pain if they are given almond water. If given enough almond water, they can die, but there have been some cases where they have regained their sanity, albeit with horrible physical deformities. Stage 4 They will be a complete madness with all the traits of their kind. Nothing can cure them.
