  • @TamTroll
    @TamTroll Před rokem +147

    25:25 i think the idea is that Tench believed he was STILL INSIDE the Backrooms while in the A-sync facility. So going outside of A-sync would just lead him further into that portion of "the backrooms".
    Using that logic, the best idea would be to backtrack back into the backrooms and search for the "Real" exit, or some other form of exit into the real world. Because remember, in his mind, A-sync = A false A-sync created by the backrooms. So he's going back into the backrooms to search for the real one.

      That is what they said in the video, but that also could've just been something they threw in there to add to their theory of his deteriorating mind. They wanted people to think he became delusional and died to a rock to the face. They could've easily lied about this to cover up them killing him even more than they already were.

    “If the wind is right you can sail away” is actually a song lyric from a 1979 Christopher Cross song called “Sailing”. It details how he just needs a good wind to allow him to sail away to “paradise” and be free from the pain that his life entails. Could be an analogy for the pain Peter felt being held in A-sync and how he dreamed of just being able to “sail away” from his captivity.
    Oh and also, Kane remixed this song about a month ago on his second channel.

If the bacteria is contagious, Tench's escape could result in a lot of people getting killed. Another consequence of discovering the Backrooms, apart from people noclipping.

    Alright. So. Just going on a whim, but, Peter Tench is still alive, and they're covering up the cover up to keep anyone inside the company from getting the idea of whistle blowing. The shots at the end were of Peter escaping and the phone call is from Peter to his wife, who wouldn't be picking up the phone from grief. This is only 4 months roughly after he's pronounced "dead" so it'd make sense for her to be still grieving.

      It’s definitely ominous beyond belief!! It’s also heavily weaves into the whole “Async maliciousness” vibe, as it intentionally disregards the significance of the circumstances, overall. It’s blatantly encouraging the audience hearing it to forget about the events that transpired… and to not ask further questions or have further thoughts on it. Async’s reputation is critical to the continuation of the project. Thus, they’re actively trying to silence anyone that could possibly express a non-positive perspective on the project. This would include Peter, who witnessed and experienced the horrors of the Backrooms firsthand, as well as anyone else who would’ve been aware of the events regarding him. They’re trying to build a specific narrative regarding what happened, all as an emotionally manipulative guise in the name of “trust” and “honesty.” They want people to trust them & the project, so that they can continue their work & they’re willing to go intense lengths to achieve that. This is an incredibly fascinating series!! The fact that Kane Pixels is doing this by themselves too is just like- baffling. So insanely impressive & VERY well thought-out.

    I think the ending shots and especially phone ringing repeatedly are supposed to communicate that Tench escaped and was not in fact killed. He got beyond the A-Sync security team, escaped into the city, where he got to a phone booth, and tried to call his wife who wasn't available to pick up. Maybe she was sleeping, maybe grieving, at work, picking up kids etc. Of course he would keep trying to call after she didn't pick up the first time! He's desperate for his family to know that he's alive. In any case, I think it is clear that the A-Sync narrative is not entirely true.

      Given you can hear ash go "Matt, PLEASE log in", then later we hear him say "Next time we're definitely gonna log in", I'm gonna say he has one.
      odd that you'd assume he doesn't have one when they address it in the video.

      @@LoreCatan Premium doesn’t have ad breaks. Obviously if the creator has them integrated into the video itself Premium can’t do anything about it. And there’s an ongoing bug involving Chromecast. But otherwise, no ads.

      They do have a premium account, it’s just not logged in. Ash makes multiples references to that during this very video.

    That adbreak completely murdering the atmosphere is the exact reason why I use an adblocker.

    As someone who knows nothing about how CZcams video posting works, when videos are uploaded, can they pick where/when the ads play? Or is it randomized? Because if you can, Kane is a genius for picking that spot.
