So is Backrooms an adaptation of House of Leaves?

Cause the premise seems very similar, and I'm wondering whether I should bother watching it/recommend HoL to people who liked it.

Backrooms is based on a collecting of internet fiction written by a lot of people in a shared setting with a shared premise, which was inspired by a lot of things because the concepts behind it were built up by a lot of people. House of Leaves probably had an influence because it’s decently well known but there is no direct relation.

Definitely some major similarities, but HoL has a lot more depth (no pun intended).
