Um. I need to ask something.

What *is* "The Backrooms" ... ? I don't mean what is the fictional world concept about, but what do you call the way that people are ... playing? Making? this ... RPG? Game? Campfire Story?

If you aren't familiar people interact with "The Backrooms" mostly by making up new areas that can be explored. It's like a RPG where everyone is the DM.

Is there a word for this?

@futurebird Collaborative storytelling. See also SCP.

I think it's a bit different from the SCP universe. Informed by it, but I think there's a difference in how people are engaging with the world.

SCP was this shady thing you could read about ... but people do a lot of "how to survive level 34" type stuff, it's very "this could totally happen to you"

@futurebird Interesting. I would not survive level 34. I know nothing about it.
