Not gonna lie, I really like it! The container portion interested me the most. +1

A perfect example of a great classic level tbh. The stuff about the colored shipping containers is really interesting

Yeah, it’s not my best piece looking back. I was just thinking about this level a few minutes ago, before seeing this comment. I’ve considered rewriting it a few times, but my interest for the backrooms has dwindled since 2022.

Can you elaborate on the nothingburger part btw?

sure! It's primarily the flat description of the environment, coupled with an audio log that reiterates information already covered in the clinical section, resulting in a lack of "takeaway" for the reader after reading the page.

(you should definitely do a rewrite if you ever get the motivation, because the idea of a backrooms equivalent of seasickness sounds like a fire concept.)
