Although it takes from established creepypasta and stories, you can enjoy the game just as much (if not more) by going in blind. That said, there are a few things, from the good, bad, or even downright ugly, that we wish we knew before we got lost in the backrooms.
The Hub is a class 0 level, and there are currently no entities inside the level...yet. It will most likely always be a safe level, but there might a chance of Fancy adding in a mini, or huge entity in The Hub.
Days after the original creepypasta,[5] users began to share stories about the Backrooms on subreddits such as r/creepypasta and later r/backrooms.[2] A fandom began to develop around the Backrooms and creators expanded upon the original iteration of the creepypasta by creating additional floors or "levels" and entities which populate them.[4][6] Happy Mag noted in particular two other levels: Level 1, a level with industrial architecture, and Level 2, a darkly lit level with long service tunnels, with the original version named Level 0.[6]
As new levels were devised in r/backrooms, a faction of fans who preferred the original Backrooms split off from the fandom. A Reddit user named Litbeep created another subreddit called r/TrueBackrooms focusing only on the original version. ABC News said that unlike fandoms surrounding existing properties, the lack of a canonical Backrooms made "drawing a line between authentic storytelling and jokes" difficult.[2][4] By March 2022, r/backrooms had over 157,000 members.[2]
The creature seems to "come to life" from a black substance resembling mold around the Backrooms.[3] The entities presumably killed who is theorized to be Nicolas Bolton, evidenced by the severe tissue damage and mutated bacteria inside his body. It most likely killed many other people who fell into the Backrooms too.
On March 5, 1990, Async set up several motion detection cameras inside the Backrooms. At 01:06:44, an undetermined noise was detected, probably coming from the creature. But at 03:53:42, motion was detected of the unknown creature crawling across the ceiling and peeking behind a corner. The creature was far away, so the footage was not clear, but it gave Async the first clue to the existence of a dangerous creature. During this time, it had a more fluid appearance and seemed to be pretty slow.[6]
Importantly, Marvin got the creature on camera, and the team gave the footage to Async as soon as they came back. Now the organization had indisputable evidence of the dangerous creature living inside the Backrooms, and they promptly set up more safety precautions. They sealed off the way the research team found the monster in, but a construction worker heard a strange sound coming from above. It is unknown if this creature found a way out of this area or if any creatures seen after this are different entities.
The monster is implied to be a colonial organism made of a mutated strain of hay bacillus, since that specific bacteria was found inside a corpse (commonly theorized to be Nicolas Bolton). It is described by the unnamed protagonist in Found Footage 2 as appearing "plant like". Its movements appear stiff and mechanical, leading to theories that it may be using objects discovered within the Backrooms to support its form, such as furniture, camera tripods, or building materials.
