• Echo of dinosaur shrieks, cries, and roars can be heard
• No entities present
• Endless dinosaur themed indoor playground
• Messed up environment (dino claw marks, bites, etc.)
• Scarce lighting/very dark
• Footsteps large to small can be heard, yet the source is never seen
• Claustrophobic
• Scopophobic
• Strange paranormal activities

I intend to put this into the Backrooms system. Please share your thoughts and if I should change anything to further my goal to make this a terrifying piece of writing. I intend to put a fun twist on common liminal areas such as a playground while keeping faithful to the established concept of the Backrooms.

There's something to the idea, but it became a shitpost here, and any potential the idea had was kinda ruined because of this post. I'm very sorry, but either get serious or scrap it.

So i have this idea of an infinite apartment complex that starts out nice and somewhat safe, with the wanderer starting off in a more nice looking complex with modern apartments, and as you go through the level, you will start to encounter different areas and patches of the level that appear more rundown and ghetto with varying degrees of safety and quality of items. The safer parts of the level will still have level specific dangers and entities, and the more dangerous areas will have there own benefits for seeking them
out and will, of course, have more extreme dangers. I also wanted to include a day and night cycle, having the environment change drastically as night falls and day begins.

Don't let me discourage you. Write your bees and make at least one bee pun.

• The air is a bunch of micro parasites.
• I will rework how the space operates, such as making it less lethal, as well as where the space leads.
• I was thinking of creating a few entities for no reason
• I forgot that deserts had plants… .-.
• "and they can see clearly, as if it was day" means that they have phenomenal night vision, and they see perfectly fine.
• Delete shadow magic. Got it.

Thanks a lot!

Jot down everything. Things you write may end up being used somewhere else more fitting!

My ending crit for your idea is to pick one direction. Don't throw all your ideas into one space.

Deserts do have plants like cacti and other hardy flora. Your idea seems to be more of a wasteland than a desert. Wastelands do not have plants as the environment is too harsh for even the most resilient flora.
Are you saying that the air is an entity or that the air is full of micro entities? The way you describe the skin makes it seem that the air is full of micro flies that lay eggs under the skin when inside the body.
Your vision idea is a bit weak. Needs more to be good.
How does the air strengthen entities? What entities live here and why?
The shadow stuff is off. Why is it only 1 in a thousand? Who calculated that? Why do they even gain shadow powers? Also, shadows are not physical forms and would be pretty useless to control. You can't give shadows 3D capabilities as shadows are flat caused by light sources being blocked by objects.
What does "And they can see clearly, as if it was day" mean?

This idea is very bare and scattered. If I were to make this(with all of your ideas represented), it would go like this,

This idea is very scattered and empty. Even with my contributions, the idea is not well. If you go further with this idea, focus on ONE idea and keep with a theme. You have wasteland, maggot air, and shadow magic…

If I was to remove one concept, I would choose the shadow magic stuff. It is the most out of place. Without it, you could have a harsh wasteland full of only the most resilient entities and deadly toxic air. This space would be extremely difficult to traverse without proper equipment but you would need a good reason for people to ever go here. Perhaps it has an entrance to another space or a valuable resource or maybe it used to be an important space.

So, I'm starting with the fact that this is a desert. No plants are around, but entities abound. The air itself is an entity, and as wanderers breathe it in, THINGS crawl beneath their skin like some horror movie. When viewed with a light, the skin is deforming, as if maggots are crawling beneath the skin. It was once a beautiful city, and just before wanderers die, they see a vision of that. It's possible to leave this place, but you must be fast, as the air is toxic. The entities here are stronger than they usually are, because the air strengthens them. One out of every 1,000 wanderers will survive the air, and once that happens, they gain the ability to control shadows. Any kind of shadow, anything they want to do, they do. It takes imagination and practice. Once they gain control, the entities avoid the Shades (the ones who can control shadow) out of fear, and they can see clearly, as if it was day.


Aside from that, I got nothing. I'd love some ideas from the rest of you!

as in, its bad.

this article is lacking any thought-provoking or interesting concepts, it is a cut and paste of the same formula fandom has been doing for ages.

realize we are not FANDOM and have higher quality standards
