The Backrooms Pt. 1: The Marble Staircase

Three friends go for a hike. What they find should not exist. A pristine marble staircase standing alone in the middle of the woods. No railings. No platform. No explanation. Just sixteen spotless steps leading upward into nothing. When a strange fog rolls in, the staircase begins behaving in ways that defy reason. What starts as curiosity quickly becomes confusion as Joe, Samantha, and the narrator find themselves descending farther than should be possible... into a place where distance, architecture, and reality itself no longer seem to follow familiar rules. This is the beginning of a very different Midnight Drive journey. No monsters. No answers. Just an impossible place. And three people trying to find their way home. Part One of a five-part Backrooms event.
