It's kind of funny, the backrooms were a "every room safe space" in the literal sense. The reason the original backrooms copypasta was freaky was the idea of being in essentially an endless empty beige/yellow officespace kinda area, with literally nothing and nobody around. The shit with building off that by adding entities or monsters or shit takes away the whole aspect of just complete isolation and deprivation of any real sensation other than hearing faint electric hums from the lights and maybe someone or something else that got trapped there who's starving and will resort to eating you in a mad attempt to survive. The big scary aspect is that there is literally NOTHING there but an endless string of vacant rooms and hallways. Why take shit interesting as that and turn it into basically the minotaurs fucking maze?
