fucking incredible work, especially on offset 0. noticed like, 2 spag errors on offset 1 that i'll grab for you but otherwise like… near flawless. +1

this may be my opinion but it absolutely does not fail at being special. the flow of the prose in the first page is just… like, fucking beautiful and the explanation given afterwards really ties it together. although it takes what seems to be a commonly used theme, it twists it to give it a new unique spin (which honestly is what makes most "normal" backrooms articles even somewhat bearable) and even if it hadn't given that spin the prose i mentioned prior was genuinely beautiful and able to stand on its own. as for the "weird font" it's literally just a slightly altered version of a preexisting theme lmao. formatting (as someone who is a greenlighter and checks up on things like that) is fine? so i'd have to say i completely disagree with you on your downvote/reasoning for it, but y'know. to each their own i suppose.

I feel this is way too blunt and with minimal reasoning and explanation… I was wondering, could i get a more specific reason?

Hiya! This is Captaiin, a site moderator. It's been brought to my attention that you seem to have become rather aggressive with your criticism. While having more blunt criticism is fine, this level of vehemence is unacceptable and a direct violation of our rules. This is a formal warning to advise you to keep your criticism somewhat polite rather than outright nonconstructive and, to be honest, a bit hostile. Thank you! Have a nice day.

This font is the epitomy of nostalgia,good job.
So the level is a vr study, and has a program that reproduce earth? Is interesting how you didnt include any mention to the headset's investigation, but meh, +1
great concept, but it could be executed better. offset 0 is serviceable, but prose from offset 1 onwards stumbles into many of the same pitfalls that plagues early 2020 levels.
Do you remember the heartbeat of the sand caressing your unblemished toes and the freshness of the undulating ocean, back when discovery was a friend and not a monster?
stellar opening. the entire dream segment is illustrated beautifully, and provides precise, visceral descriptions for the reader to dwell on.
Wanderers who enter Level 142 will appear at an empty reception area with several hallways in all directions leading to the VR rooms.
Each VR room is equipped with a periodically-refilling water cooler, as well as a refrigerator with frozen food. Each room contains two stools and a table with a VR headset on top of it. The model is consistent across all rooms and the headsets never seem to run out of power.
unfortunately, right after hitting offset 1, we revert back to the basic structure of classic levels, and all momentum is lost. there's a missed opportunity to incorporate some of the delightful imagery of 0 into 1, but as of now, this feels like a decent tale tacked onto a 2020 nothingburger.
