Beautiful in a terrififying way

Mimiis07 02 Sep 2021 06:04

This is one of my favourite levels, it's beautiful in a terrififying way. It first said this is beyond the end, the epilouge of a story then it says your the hero of the story.

Holy crap this is amazing. Spectacularly written, alien, while still being legible enough to not be one of the "corrupted" format screws or something. Definitely one of my favorite levels ever.
I feel the story's a little confusing, mainly tying it into the rest of the Backrooms, but that doesn't mean it's not awesome.

Aaaah this is really beautiful! The comparison between it and the writing process and writing in general is really pretty. The word choice is also very appealing to me and not too hard to follow.

Although I do not like the idea of “salvation”，but the words and phrases are beautiful！（also，notoriously hard to translate this into Chinese）
