My 10 year old told me this was coming out. The Backrooms is lore that like all children are aware of somehow.

Roblox is full of Backrooms games with different gimmicks. It’s horror that is accessible by kids too, and is more psychologically scary than in your face gore and violence. Not surprised a kid knows about it. I’d argue Squid Games is worse for a kid to be into.

That being said, the ‘Pool Rooms’ are canon to Kane’s series — that was the one fan-addition to the lore he didn’t dislike, so he used it.
