What happens when you noclip out of reality? You end up in The Backrooms.
From a simple, eerie image of yellow wallpaper posted on 4chan to a sprawling universe of lore and an A24 movie directed by Kane Parsons, The Backrooms is a masterclass in collaborative internet horror. In this episode of How It Hits, we break down what The Backrooms are, why "liminal spaces" trigger such a deep sense of dread, and how the lonely architecture of early 3D video games and 90s corporate capitalism shaped our modern fears. Plus, we recommend a few mind-bending books if you just can't get enough of endless mazes.
