Backstories (and some spoilers)

How ever you get to the backrooms, you begin here.

Backrooms Level 1
It feels like an eternal, empty 1960's office space,
with damp musky carpets.
You've found the backrooms.

The journey into the backrooms becomes more dangerous with each level.

Backrooms Level 1
Each level of the backrooms changes.

Do the backrooms ever end? Change, danger, and loneliness are constant. Moria has found its way into the modern world.

Backrooms Level 1
The backrooms never seem to end.

Every journey in the backrooms crosses the Limbo Library.

Limbo Library
The universally feared Limbo Library.
(Craiyon)

MUD Research

The following pages summarize my research on Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs). The summaries include histories, insights, and technical mumbo jumbo. MUDs have a long and rich lore. MUDs predate personal computers and the Internet. MUDs do not, however, predate electricity, sunlight, written language, or me.

Summaries of Imaginary Realities MUD Ezine

Imaginary Realities was an e-zine dedicated to MUD related articles. I have included summaries of every article I can find. If anyone has missing articles, provide me with a link, and I will summarize it, too.
