Hi! I’m Nate, but you probably know me as Natedagreat563. I’m a pretty active member of the community, and you’ll probably see me frequently on the Discord. I officially joined the community in late January of 2021, but I’ve technically been a part of the community since about October 2020! I joined staff in August 2021 and became a moderator, but retired in January 2022. I am now just vibing as a regular community member.
I’m a 16 year old guy with Autism, and I like to do a lot of things. I play 3 instruments, which are piano, trumpet, and guitar. I also love to cook, bake, go on long walks and purchase a bunch of random stuff from a store or gas station, and code. I like to draw but I’m not great at it so I don’t really show people my art. I’m also currently studying Spanish and hope to soon be bilingual. I’m relatively active on the Spanish branch and have even done a few translations for them! I’m also super into lore-heavy indie type stuff including but not limited to Five Nights at Freddy’s (I know that one’s pretty shocking isn’t it), Gravity Falls, Marvel, etc.
I’m one of the more tougher critics on the site, and extremely selective. I’m a huge stickler for thorough descriptions, unique concepts, proper usage of dashes, and flow. I reflect this in my writing as well, always enforcing my personal “At least 5 paragraphs in the description” rule. I also am an expert at offset pages and known colloquially as “The King of CCSearch.” Are you having trouble finding an image? Simply ask The King himself, and he shall provide! In all seriousness, I get really lucky with CCSearch and manage to find some fantastic images for both myself and other people. If you need some assistance, shoot me a dm or ping! I’m happy to help ;).

Level 3 - Electrical Station
Rewritten by
Natedagreat563, based on the original concept by Reddit user u/M654z.
“The high failure rate should serve as a warning — do not attempt to settle in Level 3 unless you have the resources, manpower and tenacity to do so.”
This is my much beloved rewrite of the classic Level 3. Before my rewrite, Level 3 was essentially a Reddit copypasta that boiled down to “Level 2 but harder.” I knew Level 3 had far more potential than that, so I decided to rewrite it. Now, it’s an extremely dangerous labyrinth of high risk-high reward with plenty of bait for people to write about it, lol. This is one of my favorite articles and I’m honored to have been given the privilege of rewriting it.

Sub-Level 5.1 - Terror Hotel Casino
“You shuffled didn’t you? I did let you win the first round to get you all cocky, but the rest was fair game. You simply forgot the one golden rule of gambling: ‘The house always wins.’ ”
Level 5.1 is by far one of my favorite articles. I’m in loved with the concept and my execution, and the voice acted log turned out amazing. I had a random Cuphead phase happen out of nowhere in August, so I decided to take advantage of it and write a casino with living objects. I also decided the Terror Hotel gang needed some bait to get more people into Level 5 — after all, why would you wanna stay in a place where the staff are bloodthirsty beasts? The amazing, unnaturally tempting Terror Hotel Casino, of course! This is definitely worth a read and I love how it turned out.

Level 129 - The White Forest
“The event, as follows in the log below, seems to be some form of natural directed energy where the internal body temperature of the victim immediately drops to absolute zero, or -273 degrees Celsius. Life immediately seizes, all internal body fluids and molecules freeze, and the person dies instantly.”
Level 129 is the first article I wrote for this site which I choose to acknowledge. Overall, it’s far from my best work and nothing spectacular, but for a first level I don’t think it’s awful. The concept is much better than the execution in my opinion. I’ve always liked my concept of the absolute zero events and an infinitely snowy forest. Give it a read if you want, but don’t go in expecting anything amazing.

Enigmatic Level - TH3 SH4DY GR3Y
Authored by
Natedagreat563, based on the original concepts by u/Createegee and other unknown Fandom Users
“Anyone who goes into this level usually has their body ripped apart at the atomic level. The atomic bonds making up their body slowly break apart until the entire body is reduced to nothing but floating particles.”
My relationship with SH4DY GR3Y is pretty complicated. This was written right after 129, and is my highest rated article as of yet. Personally, I’m really not a big fan of how I approached it, and would’ve written it completely differently had I done it today. Despite that, a lot of people seem to like it, and some even say it’s their favorite level. Personally, I think it’s kind of bad with a decent-ish concept, and I wanted to rewrite it, but if it ain’t broke then don’t fix it. Overall, it’s far from my favorite article, but I’m glad people like it so much, I suppose.

Enigmatic Level - The Metro
Rewritten by
Natedagreat563 with conceptual assistance from
Wesbot, based on the original concept by an unknown Reddit user.
“The thing that really stuck out to me was how the train literally pulled up right in front of my friend. It wasn’t, like, across the room, it was directly in front of him. It also freaked out the restaurant guests when a giant green train just phased through the wall and all of the tables out of nowhere. It seems like too much of a coincidence to me that this thing is just a weird train that can pass through walls. I think it may be alive.”
This is another classic that I got the honor of rewriting. This was originally scheduled to be my first collab, but I ended up doing literally everything except come up with the original loose concept of “sentient train.” I wrote this many months before it was published, so it’s no fantastic masterpiece. Compared to the original article, though, it’s a huge improvement. I honestly like how I approached the concept, and I hope people start using The Metro in future articles.

Featured Article from February 2022
Enigmatic Level - The Dark Metro
Rewritten by
Natedagreat563, based on the original concept by an unknown Reddit user.
“I’m not sure I will ever see you again, mi vida. I have gazed upon Its hideous stature. I have heard its abominable heart. It has whispered its animosity into my mind to turn my brain into dust. This beast cannot be defeated, and my destiny is set in stone. Whatever happens, whatever my fate shall be, know that I will always love you for as long as I live.”
This is ANOTHER classic I rewrote, if you can even call this a ‘rewrite.’ The original Dark Metro was a whopping two (2) whole paragraphs, and was at -19 before I replaced it with my rewrite. I originally volunteered after publishing The Metro, and decided if I did one, why not do the other? This is a very large article, clocking in at over 9000 words. It’s for sure tied with 5.1 for being my favorite article. I went full balls to the wall with horror and am very proud of my world-building and log dialogue here. If there’s one article you’re looking to read from me, choose this one. It’s a wild ride and definitely not for the squeamish.

Object 56 - The Ultimate Backrooms Cookbook
Authored solely by
Natedagreat563, submitted as a gift for
Nukboi for the 2021 Christmas Gift exchange.
“The book is estimated to have been copied and distributed about 450,000 times across all levels of the Backrooms. All of the recipes, even ones that seem dangerous, such as the Spicy Egg Fried Ramen or Uncle Aussie’s Bayou Surprise, have been proven to be entirely safe as long as they are prepared properly. Not only are they safe, but the recipes have received extremely popular reviews from food critics and wanderers alike. All of the recipes in the book have become incredibly popular and famous in societies such as Level 11 and Level 162.”
Object 56 was more of a fun break from the usual stuff I do for Christmas. Nukboi had a great prompt of a backrooms cookbook, so I coded and wrote my own digital cookbook! While it is weird that my first cookbook is for a funny hallway site, at least this one turned out pretty decent. It took up most of my December, but I think the work was worth the fruit it bore.

“Ah, another day… Another load of problems.”
Honestly I have very little to say about this. It’s nothing great, it’s just a piece of amateur poetry I wrote for Mincon in like… 5 minutes? Read it if you want, but don’t ask what it’s about, because I don’t know either.

Tale - Archived Journals of Lucy Fox
“It's calling to me. It's staring at me. I stared at the endless pits where its eyes should be, and I heard it whispering in my mind. I heard it telling me to embrace it. It kept saying to put it on. I almost did, until I snapped out of the trance.”
This tale was incredibly fun to write, and brings back so many good memories from Goicon. This page has 8 offsets, and a total of 10 links are hogged up on site to get this thing running. This was incredibly ambitious, but paid off significantly. It’s pretty close to being the highest rated tale on site at the time of writing, and I definitely enjoyed seeing people’s first time reactions to the surprise in offset 1. If you’re looking for some nice css magic, this is the article for you!

The Broken City Part 1 - City Boy
“The woman, still screaming like at the top of her lungs, ignored him, continuing her sprint towards the area. As she got closer, she reached into her bag and pulled out a small red crystal, tossing it towards the duo. As soon as it made contact with the ground, it exploded, blasting them both into the air. Terry hit the ground hard, his vision blurry as he struggled to get up. He looked one last time at the screaming woman as she continued her mad dash across the level, and then he blacked out.”
This is the first installment in the Broken City series for the Decay Canon. This tale series was born out of a novel I attempted to write for the Backrooms. As expected, trying to write a novel about an ever-changing collaborative wiki is basically like trying to make a pig fly. It quickly becomes outdated. The novel sat in my Google docs for a while before I decided to import the characters into the wiki and change it up a bit to fit the canon. Now it’s a really fun tale series that I enjoyed writing. Brings me back to the old days when I first discovered this place.

The Broken City Part 2 - Macy
"There is a prophecy; one that foretells that a newcomer to The Backrooms shall become my right hand upon arriving to me and making their first impressions on me. The criteria which you fit is beyond you — I cannot begin to explain my thought process in the first place — but, you will do great with me, we shall bring an end to pain and suffering in The Backrooms, and perhaps some day, find an exit, bring salvation to the people here. Perhaps you will consider my methods inhumane at first, but you will understand in due time that my ideals are for the greater good."
I’m incredibly proud of this tale. It’s part 2 to the Broken City series, and it turned out wonderfully. I mainly am proud of my portrayal of Jerry here. While some see him and the FOJ as a joke or comedic gag, I decided to turn him into a megalomaniac psychopath with powers. This is yet again ripped directly from the original novel I tried to write, and it turned out pretty solid.

2nd place Spookycon2021 Entry
Featured Article from November 2021.
Tale - Blanche’s Halloween Party
“The city suddenly began to fold and bend into itself, the building and landscapes morphing into a place akin to that of the medieval era. The cacophony of 11’s citizens talking, people listening to music in their houses, and make-shift cars zooming by all began to diminish. The buildings became bookshelves, roads became carpets, dumpsters became busts, and the sky became a chandelier hanging over the library. They were back at the Cygnus Archive.”
This article exists solely for fun. I find it hilarious that this got 2nd place as not only a tale but a very low effort article. I suppose that tells you how successful SpookyCon was 😒. Anyways, this doesn’t exist for lore or set up or anything, it’s just for fun and entirely fan service. If you wanna complain because there’s no lore or important story, be my guest. I had fun writing this and I could care less about whether or not it’s popular.

“How much longer can you lie before they figure it out? How much longer can you deceive them into believing that all you are is this? What will it be this time? Enslavement of all humanity again? Or will they have to trap you in a moon before you get the chance?”
This is also one of my most favorite tales. I was originally going to write this for Whatifcon, but I liked how it turned out on its own. It was then intended to be a prologue to that article, but I dropped out of the contest. Now it’s just a simple standalone, which is fine. I wrote this to preview my eventual enigmatic entity and also leak some Omenscript lore while I was at it. It’s a short but sweet read and I thoroughly enjoyed writing it.

“She just… approached the person, grabbed their backpack, and before we knew it, she became them.”
I forget exactly how I came up with this, but I remember the idea of a shapeshifter suddenly popped into my head at some point, and then Eden was born. Certainly one of my more wild articles, but also one that turned out pretty well. It expands on 404 lore and is a bit of a trendsetter. Basically everyone stole the terminal code I used after I published this, so I take full credit for that lol.

Una traducción del Nivel 42 - El Horyzonte
“Disfrutar tu vida en el silencio puro, vagabundo.”
Esto es mi segunda traducción, y tomó muy mucho de mi tiempo. Realmente lo quiero traducir un nivel nuevo, y el Nivel 42 atrapó mi ojo. Eventualmente, se convirtió la primera página con unas compensaciones. Fue muy divertido, y el resultado fue genial. Es probablemente mi traducción mejor también.

Una traducción del Nivel 129 - El Bosque Blanco
“El rayo causas la temperatura corporal interna de la víctima dejar caer inmediatamente a cero absoluto, o acerca de -273 grados Celsius. La vida cesa de inmediato y todos los fluidos corporales internos y las moléculas se congelan.”
¡Esto es mi primera traducción! Creo hay unos pocos errores, pero no es un problema grande. Decidí arreglar algunos de los errores en la página original también, porque el original no está perfecto. Estoy feliz que esta página se podría retocar un poquito. Si hablas Español, leer esta página, no la página en la rama Inglesa porque la página Española es mucho mejor.
