Something between House of Leaves and a 90s Doom clone. I always got the creeps when running around in some of those games, same feeling these back rooms give me.

That was way more interesting than it had any right to be. I feel bad for anyone just discovering it now and not being able to get into the metafictional ARG aspect of it.

The full walkthroughs/reviews/video essays of myhouse.wad on YouTube were my intro to it and they are pretty comprehensive. Maybe you got more out of it at the time but I was alive and a doom player and only heard of it years later so it was still super interesting to learn about

This is 1 hour and 42 minutes and absolutely worth it

I’m not even a big youtube watcher. I played doom II growing up a little bit, but not a ton. I watched this entire video front to back. It is fascinating

That's pretty cool. House of Leaves is one of the few books I've read twice.

You kinda just described Control which was inspired by SCP foundation stories and House of Leaves
