I like to think that this anomaly is completely non-malicious, that the man in the breakfast nook just wants to convince you to call his hotel a permanent home, and hasn't worked out why fake food, non-euclidean corridors and pools full of angry ghosts with a one-way entrapping surface are all disincentives to long-term residency.

> Inedible food
> Sketchy parking lot
> Nonsensical room layouts
> Inhuman patrons
> Horrible / non-existent service
> Constant feeling of looming / lovecraftian dread.

This is just a typical non-anomalous New Jersey hotel after 9pm.

An scp that captures the spirit of the original 1-2k's. Not that the more recent ones are bad, I just miss the simple ones like these that don't involve world ending horrors. Nice choice!

I'm glad Aamir got a proper hug. Sounds like he needed it.

I swear you and Volgun are always step in step I love it hearing you’re different takes on the same source

There's a lot of "predatory locations" in the SCP universe. This one feels almost somewhat innocent. It seems like an all-powerful being trying its best to put you at ease and make you feel at home. Also the fact that it only affects foundation staff is perculiar. It's almost like it senses that you know more about how things work than most people, and wants to relate to you because of that, but the simple fact of it knowing that you know more than the average joe makes you uneasy to begin with.
Also theres no explicit statement of it doing harm to people. And it's willing to let people go clearly. A strange SCP to be sure. I was thinking it was gonna be a "are we cool yet" SCP. I could imagine artist form "are we cool yet" checking into an obviously anomalous motel and just being completely chill about it.

This feels like an AI building a motel from memories and scenes from TV/films.

[dannymaurice]

Crestfallen dad entity seems like the manager/aspect of the motel genuinely concerned with wanting to make the motel more inviting. Likely a ruse though cos it sounds like answering his questions is not worth it.

So, my new head canon is that this is the hotel that the song “Hotel California” was loosely based on. One of the Eagles’ members must’ve been a Foundation employee, writing the song about a log from a previous SCP employee who didn’t make it out 😂

These kinds of articles are my favorite types of SCPs: simple premise, haunting and off-kilter environments, not overly-verbose.

This SCP article is a better Backrooms Wiki article than any other article in the actual backrooms wiki.

this style of scp is kinda nostalgivlc for me. i remember having a phase of reading/listening to "ruleset horror" stories. compared to what i remember, at least this one has somewhat of an explanation as to why any of the weird stuff is happening

[Notlegallyaduck]

I think it's an anomaly that used to affects all sorts of people, but the Foundation has found a way to contain it with these rules. My theory is that the hotel used to be pretty appealing, but their method of containing it tricks it into thinking that hotels are actually like that making it so that no sane person would actually want to stay there.

15:28 “Underneath the membrane you may see shapes moving around, but just ignore them.”

But what if I recognize one of them?

[michaeltalpas]

From the start of the video, I suspected it was effecting more than just Foundation emps, just that only the Foundation emps ever make it out alive, because of the document. Glad to see you came up with the same idea.

[WirableCrown]

Kind Entity: How can I make it better?
Fountain Agent: I want to
KE: Please tell me.
FA: I want to leave....
KE: *sad

KE: *never able to understand humanity and make the motel a beautiful and wholesome place because the Foundation refuses to tell it.

[Big_E_Soul_Fragment]

When in doubt, trial and error. Definitely what the Foundation would do to know how to survive this SCP

[applepieexplosion]

My theory is that the people in the elevator were those who decided to stay volintarily for one reason or another. I feel so bad for the teen because you can absolutely imagine why he'd want to stay. now he lives a life of giving out hugs and trinkets. I hope hes happy. He deserves to be.

[ad-sd-vids]

There really needs to be an SCP tv show, where this episode can just be trial and error of going through this motel and finding the best way to get out of it

[garethbowden]

You know when Explorer and Volgun run out the same SCP it must be a good one ☺️
