why is there a statue of gordon freeman behind the glass facing the dead guy?

You just need to grab the briefcase at a safe distance.

Is an entity behind the window, check this to get more info: http://backrooms-wiki.wikidot.com/entity-2

When I grabbed the briefcase I died. What killed me? I didn't see anyone!

neat little map i loved it the haters are dumb

liminal spaces are places that are meant to feel like there real and that actual people would be there or some shit

@Cynical Hobo
my reaction to that information EE

If offices don't scare you, it's because you've never worked in one. trust me, it's scary.

"erhm it's called an liminal space" it's literally just empty spaces you dummy, "OH NO IT'S AN EMPTY OFFICE BUILDING, WITH NO ONE IN IT, IM GONNA AAAUUUGH IM SO SCAREDA AAAH"

liminal

Its called limnal space and it creates anxiety and fear, is a real thing look it up.

Is that a... EMPTY ROOM?!! OMG SO SCARY AAAAH!! FR FR DEADASS FR MAN!

GOOD!

Thanks.

as a person who loves reading backrooms wikidot. Good fucking job mate. thanks

Anyway, I'm being overly critical and that's not fair to you. I simply hoped to give the occasional passers-by a better glance at what this map entails and the video does that, besides if you don't want the video there and prefer to delete the comment then I won't protest. It's your addon.

Cheers.

-You're right, it is. I know this myself because I have messed with Hammer in multiple Source games at this point and have yet to make anything really worthwhile. It isn't easy at all. Nevertheless, it very much is possible to make low effort lazy maps, and GMod is an excellent example of this, with many of them littered throughout the workshop without so much as a single screenshot to show what is included. I've seen some on NMRIH workshop too. This is where comments like "No pics, no clicks" come from.
- That's fair, and I won't disparage it. If you enjoy what you do, then that's what matters.
- This I disagree with though. While they do catch attention, they don't provide any info about what the map looks like or how it progresses, which lead to people not trying it out. It's like a Gmod map submission where the only picture is a Gaben meme. It catches the eye, but does it compel them to try the map?

Nice suggestions but you are getting a couple of things wrong:

-Making maps is not easy or lazy, is a lot of work.
-I don´t really care about appealing or clicks I make this for fun, nobody pays me.
-I think this three screenshots plus the video catch people attention and they are not vague or have zero relation, what I show I deliver (as good as I can).

Anyway if you want real screenshots don't worry, I will make my next maps with real ones instead of internet photos.

That's understandable, but many players won't bother trying your map with no visuals, as it's often a telltale sign of a lazy content creator - after all, most who put a lot of effort into their work want to show it off, whereas someone making a quick easy thing may find the process of making preview screenshots or videos pointless.

If you want to maintain the mystery, just take a few vague screenshots like the spawn room and maybe one or two of the spots in the general backrooms area. No need to screencap anything the player is meant to come across ingame, just give 'em something to interest them enough to click Subscribe. Anyone can link random internet photos to an upload that have zero relation to what's actually inside the addon, that's why submissions with no screencaps or video are often overlooked.

Just my two cents.

Thanks for the video and yes I tried to keep it as mysterious and lore friendly as possible, thats why there are no pictures and the map is the way it is.

For anyone curious what the map looks like due to zero visuals given by the uploader.
Fairly basic, but interestingly done. i could see this being scary to someone playing it alone and knowing what the Backrooms is all about.
(At the end, you can see the briefcase - that's what you need to safely grab and bring back to the spawn to win. I didn't bother showing that since nothing else happens beyond the window encounter.)
