"Turn Back!"
Project Overview
I initially started this project for a class final, and have decided (due to multiple people expressing interest in this project), that it would be fun to voice-act it as well! I wish to create a high-mid quality recording, complete with sound effects and other things of the sort, which requires a decent microphone as well as development of acting skills solely via voice. This will most likely be posted to YouTube in parts once it is complete, as the editing process will take quite a bit of layering. Double casting this would be not ideal, but hypothetically possible if need be; smaller parts such as Lady Blanche, Kim, Kira, Miranda, or the M.E.G. Narrator Voice are open to double casting, however. If you are looking to be cast as two characters within this production, please give each character a distinct, unique voice, in order to make them easily identifiable by the audience.
This story is primarily a reimagining of Backrooms lore, as the concept has relatively died down in popularity since 2-3 years ago.

You know what? I can’t do this with you anymore, Glade. Fine, go, but don’t come back crying because of some stupid choice.
Sometimes, other groups try to keep information about levels hidden from general outsiders. Whether this is due to the danger of the level or the valuable resources kept there, this isn’t too clear. However, levels above 800 tend to be few and far between. What we do know about them is extremely limited.
The Backrooms are unpredictable. Everything is changing constantly, and it’s taken M.E.G. decades to figure out how to map out most of these levels, and there’s still stuff we don’t know. One minute, you’re standing on solid ground, and the next...

Does this thing even work in here? Well, we’ll see when it’s done. I mean, there’s a green light, so it better freaking be on.
And then I met Kamdyn, and he tried to steal my backpack twice. But I think we’re good now, I mean, we’ve been sitting next to each other for like an hour and a half, just eating fruit snacks and chatting.

Well good luck navigating through this place without me. This ‘Marc’ guy sounds like he’s a real idiot, especially thinking you guys would end up in a group after coming through that door.

Hey, it’s Kim here. There seems to be a zoom on this one page from a book in the recording, which thankfully was published by M.E.G. our Wikidot, and translated by a small group in the Frontrooms.
We’re unsure of this exact song or artist at the time. Page will be updated with more information soon.
Kim again! Just a friendly reminder that all non certified M.E.G. employees are not allowed to view the rest of this page. If you would like to continue, please ask for a security key.

I don’t know if you will ever find this, but I pray that you do. Please do.
Perhaps the sea is beckoning them to. They told me stories about their friends, their dreams, their hopes, their wants, their fears, their family before they entered this forsaken place.
As for the other girl…Gabby, I think her name was (you didn’t know her), she tried to bring herself back, but it didn’t work. Nothing ever works.
