Great, intriguing concept and writing.

ive changed to a downvote upon further consideration.
although the street has been described in detail, i still don't have a good idea of what the hotel looks and feels like. what does it have? what era could this hotel be compared to (eg. 2000s, 1930s, etc.)? other than break rules=death, what other phenomena can happen in the hotel? just remember that it's not usually a good habit to leave blurry images in people's minds.
also, as some other users said, the tone is sorta mixed, and not in a good way. sometimes it sounds like it's actually tryna be scary, and other times its not.

Nothing is real.
Nothing is safe.
So many rules!
I am reading as fast as I can.
Where's the cat?
" Here kitty. Here kitty, kitty. "
WHERE IS THE CAT?
Time to break every single rule I was given. Challenge accepted.
I exist for the sole purpose of writing this

So my parents when I was younger?
From Pyro AroAce, that one trans guy.
Good concept and writing, although I wonder how many people thought that Level 911 would be an infinite police station.
Level 911 is an infinite police station, or at least presumed to be. No measuring equipment can safely confirm these claims, however, the esoteric nature of the building itself leaves room to theorize that the level is gigantic in size.
Entities of every kind may be found lurking in the corridors, halls, and inside every possible room that the station may house.
No modern guns can be found in their respective lockers, or even anywhere; that being said, more primitive weapons such as axes, knives, and even nailguns can be found within the armories.

I would love to upvote this article, but I just can't. It feels rather rushed every sentence I read, and it really fails to be any scary/to actually seem mysterious, because the only thought in my head was "okay, but why is it like this?", and not in a curious way.
What it does manage to do is that it really is fitting for Halloween. It reminds me of a haunted place of sorts, which is really, really cool. However, as stated prior, it is rather random and feels somewhat nonsense.
As of now, it is a no-vote, but I might change it to upvote at any time considering the previous paragraph. Changed to downvote after further reconsideration regarding the rather mixed tone.
Please understand that I don't by any means want to vote maliciously. Please tell me if it counts as such.
Bye.

Please mind the Forest.
Can't really go against your thoughts, and in my opinion, it is not malicious voting at all. Perception of a concept doesn't always match the perception desired by the reader, but the article itself isn't meant to engulf you in a sensation of danger or imminent threat. It is meant to force the reader into imagining the myriad of outcomes that could come from these sets of rules.
Once again, great feedback, will take into consideration next time; I am simply trying out new, unique concepts to the wiki.

This article does some cool stuff, mainly the articles use of vague horror like ideals is interesting, but I don't think it's enough for an upvote. The main issue I have here is the tone feels very all over the place. Sometimes it's very horror focused, but then it switches completely and feels way more lighthearted. It's jarring and imo the article would have been more interesting if it focused on the horror elements. imo stuff like the original line about the "dog eating the bodies" was much more attention-catching compared to lines like this "The carpets like to make wanderers trip and fall.
If you see it happening to someone else, you must laugh at it." Which feel much more silly compared to creepy.
This article is clearly trying to be absurdist, and it does it quite well, but with the tonal inconsistency it sort of drags it down a bit.
Also, another minor issue I had is this article is…very similar to it's inspiration. I'm pretty sure one of the rules is almost directly ripped from the original source (the one about the red sky, although I may be mistaken in this). It just feels like a retread of the idea but spun to be a backrooms article.
Tldr: the tone of this article feels inconsistent and might do better if it was focused down to one strong tone/mood.
The source (inspiration) does not mention a red sky. You may find it on the author block.

Ah, that's my bad. I'm probably misremembering something here. Apologies
i enjoyed this article but-
i dont mean it in a bad way but this feels like some sort of horror survival multiplayer type of game
this seems like the plot of a horror game and you must work together with your group to survive
what happens's when a rule is broken? how do they die or who kills them?
One word: entities
There are creatures we don't see here, they enforce the rules
I'm justice!…What?…No not the blind folded girl!
