The moment he got seperated was really interesting. He heard a crowd of people, but the fact that the camera recorded it as well means that it wasn’t just in his head, the sounds were actually coming from SOMETHING
The one small detail that I loved in this video (I love everything) is that they reference 2/29/1990 which is not a date as 1990 was not a leap year. Fun fact.
His expression of panic at the moment his colleagues disappeared and became completely lost was absolutely realistic and terrifying. I would react in the same way if I found myself in the same situation.
I think this video in particular is the perfect representation of the backrooms. It's supposed to be a feeling of unease, tension, and uncanny dread due to liminal space rather than scary monsters and jump scares. I feel like the internet kinda screwed up by latching onto a generic Slenderman type bipedal monster that screams and chases you as "the entity" instead of something far more immaterial and ghost-like. Something whose presence can be felt and has agency of actions, but whose form is rarely physical but is changing and hard to comprehend when it is.
Have you ever seen the Russian science fiction movie "Solaris"? (It was remade in the US a few years ago, but the original is much better.) You wrote, "...something far more immaterial and ghost-like. Something whose presence can be felt and has agency of actions, but whose form is rarely physical but is changing and hard to comprehend when it is." This is the heart of "Solaris." It's about a group of astronauts who travel to another planet, and what they experience there--a series of ghostlike shifts in perception and apparitions, their own loved dead somehow returned and alive again, and more. These mysterious, frightening events are the work of the planet's living ocean, itself a sentient being which is deliberately influencing their minds. It's incredibly eerie, haunting and fascinating, full of classic "uncanny valley" moments. Based on your comment here, I think you'd like it.
So in essence, you want the backrooms ITSELF to be the entity, toying with inhabitants like the time-skip and noises we see here? Because just a constant corridor of "liminal spaces" by itself certainly isn't unsettling that much, just boring. There has to be some threat lol
@@KevinJohnson-cv2no yep yep yep. it doesn’t bother me that the entities exist i actually like that but it becomes too much of a focus in some videos, the actual scary part is how unsettling and uncomfortable the whole thing is
@@KevinJohnson-cv2no It sounds boring until it happens. In source games (like Garry's Mod), liminal spaces are everywhere. In Garry's Mod specifically, there is a Backrooms map. Although you know you're not alone, you constantly feel stressed out, like something's watching you. Now, imagine that exact feeling, but you _cannot escape it._
I love how in this series, there’s so many opportunities for jump scares that aren’t taken. It really builds up the tension and feeling of dread and is a breath of fresh air from the usual ‘jump scare every 2 minutes or it’s not scary’ template.
I love how the backrooms are well lit too! Too many horror movies rely on being dark and poorly lit to be scary. Horror in the daytime is even scarier in my opinion.
Anyone wondering I just came back from reunion and I think this is the guy that they find, you can hear him say Marvin after he gets teleported and that’s why they recognize eachother, and I think Marvin took his place as camera man just a theory. Edit: I can’t believe how much attention this got most likes on a post I’ve ever had, thanks everyone.
I have a theory for the room with the tree wallpaper and the wheelbarrows. It may not be a good one. If this whole place was created by something that doesn't quite understand human architecture, could it be whatever "it" is trying to simulate the outdoors? You have a house with "trees" surrounding it( the wallpaper), and fairly normal items you might find in someone's garden, an axe and wheelbarrows. One of the windows in the house was even made of glass. Could be entire wrong but that's how I seen it.
I think you're pretty much right. The idea of the Backrooms seems to be a real-life version of copying and pasting models and textures from reality. It's like an A.I. algorithm trying to replicate aspects of our world in this strange other plane of reality.
Maze horror has always relied on fear induced by experiencing something close to the uncanny valley. I think the reason something uncanny is frightening is that it presents that a thing is trying to deceive us to let our guard down. The implication of course is horrifying. To put so much effort in deceiving us to make us vulnerable implies that the effort in preying on us must be at least equal to this effort in deceiving us, to make up for it. An infinite uncanny maze, so infinite horrors.
I think the creepiest part is how uncommon these places are. Similar to the outside area from pitfalls, it's just down a hall while the majority of the place is typical yellow wallpaper backrooms. Like it's a hidden area for experimenting with things you don't quite understand and don't want anyone to see yet.
My take is that the room was no clipped from a section of the complex that takes place in the future. In Presentation, async announces that they want to build residential and commercial districts. It could be that they went far into their developments before things go horribly wrong. I could be wrong but we'll definitely get more answers to this mystery.
Key takeaways: When the guy with the camera enters the narrow hallway it might be a form of "Null zone", because the rest of the team didn't hear/notice him whilst being there. It might very well be that he had already "disappeared" and thus was unable to be noticed. The red wire the rest of the team was carrying dissappeared, perhaps indicating that he was gone for an unditermined amount of time (the team gave up on finding him, and thus went back through the portal. The darker room might indicate the precense of imperfections with the backrooms design (imperfect calcuclations), as the hallway leading to its enterence shrinks in height. The room differs due to having different wallpaper, no lights as well as distorted objects (large and small wheelbarrow). When the individual is in the "theater" area, automated subtitles show "Applause". The individual must have survived getting lost, because the last schematic shows the room he was in as a place for the portal to open up, the "threshold" linking "Standard" with the "complex" (hence the found footage). As he arrives to the door he is heard with a mix of laughing and crying (sign of relief), this together with an alarm activating when he spoke indicates this is a part of protocol to retrieve lost personel.
My theory for the last part when the alarm came on is: They knew about the monster in the last found footage video, hence the Async facility setup an alarm and defense system in case of that monster getting through. And in my opinion... the dude died due to the defense system. Everything else you mentioned tho. I totally agree with
I think the single smartest thing this series has done is had a giant, shrieking monster in the first video and the first video only. Just the knowledge of what any of these people are actually in danger of encountering really ratchets up the suspense.
Yes! The whole time I was like, is this from the same guy who made the one with the monster??? I need to remember so I know whether to expect one or not! 😨
There are several ways I've been breaking this down. Honestly, I saw that video a few weeks ago because it ended up in my feed. I started it, and couldn't look away. I'm still confused about what this is all about, but my guess would be the art of exploiting ones fear. The ending, falling from the sky and almost feeling immanent death after the creature chased you around, was very real feeling. I also think about it from the creature's point of view, having someone, like an alien being show up in your domain, where you are familiar with the layout and are potentially acting out of fear. That's kind of a terrifying thought in itself. But fuck that thing, it's evil and doesn't deserve my sympathy. Plus he kicked me out of a spaceship without a parachute. I'm still salty.
At 3:10 you can hear him yell, "Marvin!" which really does mean that Marvin was there since day one. So Marvin just ended up taking his role as a cameraman.
@@minecraft-thebackrooms106it’s pretty much confirmed now though, with the release of reunion, Marvin clearly knows Peter and knows he went missing months ago
I think that the scariest part is when he gets separated from the group, the constant fear that something is around the corner or is lurking in the shadows, it's scares me.
@@tartatovsky Do you have a source on that being how the camera work is done, makes sense as a way to easily put together human looking camera movement, but it could have been done in a variety of ways
This truely depicts what being lost feels like, All you want is to backtrack and find something familiar but end up stumbling upon more unfamiliar areas getting deeper and deeper and even more lost than before.
the “hey” at 3:15 really did it for me. it sounded so raw like this dude truly realises he’s alone, likely for good. the pitch shift in it could just be the audio peaking but it sounds like a voice crack and just ah i can’t explain how perfectly it works
you'd think people trained to explore the backrooms would have learned to stay put when they get lost, but he immediately begins to wander as much as possible... also amazing scenery and freaky atmosphere, really good
Could be maybe if you stay in one spot for too long the threat levels increase. My guess is there needs to be constant movement otherwise the creatures could find you/detect you easier but that’s just a guess.
I don't know if there are other comments about this but I was putting together a timeline of all the videos and 1990 was not a leap year so the date that this supposedly happened is not an actual date in existence. the last day of February 1990 was February 28th. I'm guessing that this may have been affected by the supposed time travels happening in the backrooms
That’s on y’all’s obsession with that kind of stuff. I never expected anything like that and got some delicious content regardless. Maybe even more so due to not having any idea at all of what to expect
I haven’t seen any comments on this yet so I just wanted to point out how effective the use of a VA is here! Usually in analog horror series nowadays all the narration is done by text to speech, but the use of a VA (and a good one at that) makes this more immersive than it already is. All the small details you put into this series are noticed and make it even better!
he was probably banished back into backrooms by async and Ivan Beck after that call, so async didn't have to explain what happened to him and how did he disappeared for 2 months. Also the sealed off entry to pitfalls (from Report video) was already open in the beginning of Reunion video, which kind of confirms this.
They were legit because of clip from "Presentation". Peter (cameraman) probably got sent back to The Complex because Async already faked his d34th (My comment probably would not be deleted, this isn't TikTok or something but I want to be sure my comment still will be here, that's why I censored it).
Bro that guy in reunion is different guy if you listen closely in one of the parts you can hear the guy in reunion says: yes its me steve edit: and if that guy was dumped in the backrooms why would async (or ivan beck) would allow the reunions exploration
@@45f3f34f Yeah I think you are right because the guy in "reunions" is wearing something completely different then the cameraman for this video who shows back up in "presentation". My theory is that the guy in "reunions" is some other employee who was put back in the backrooms and that he has been affected in some way by the mold entity there because in "reunions" he isn't wearing a hazard suit and looks as if he is covered in mold.
Everything seemed so fine for this dude till the voices got him off the path and then the fact that he basically glitched away from the path and his group just made me full of fear. The simple fact that simply trailing off can get you lost so easily and maybe forever trapped brings back the fear that the backrooms had back when it first was made.
It was really fucking stupid of him to panic and start looking for them ngl. All the time I was just screaming in my head for him to go back the way he came from. Even if he couldn't find the exit because the halls were randomized or something he could have at least tried.
@@MCTogs the fact he followed suspicious voices was something he shouldn’t do at all. Like that is horror movie survival 101, don’t follow disembodied voices that seem close.
The really scary thing is there's something very similar to this in the Missing 411 phenomenon (which is 100% really happening). People in those cases have a tendency to disappear when they're last in a group or whenever there's a point of separation. Sometimes they're found alive with memory loss, but most of the time they're either found deceased or never found at all.
The fear in his voice after he realizes he’s no clipped is so terrifying and it makes you anxious knowing that we don’t know if he’s alone in there, great work kane you’ve outdone yourself on this one
the thing is I thought whoever no clipped ended up in the back rooms, but he was already there. They can all still no clip then while they are in there ?
I felt the same drop in my stomach once he got separated from the group, knowing it was over. You’re doing a fantastic job. I love how this goes back to the same unknown nature of the backrooms that made it scary, yet you’ve made your own twist on it, with government involvement and such
but we had that pretty detailed drawing of backrooms map at the end... So he might've made it out alive. Or maybe they just found his camera and tried to restore the surroundings. either way - storing things in a dimension that will randomly teleport them away isn't a good idea.
Yeah I hate that feeling of dread sooo much. I get upset just thinking about it. But here I am feeling dreadful for this guy.....and for some odd reason, I want more! Brilliant.
Just came back from Reunion and I think we saw footage of him entering the door back to the A-sync place. Time travel is there too because if we look at reunion they say he was gone for months, when he felt he was there for a few hours.
This one guy is putting entire production companies to shame in terms of both animation and storytelling skills. I like how the wallpaper at 5:30 transitions from a recognizable pattern to looking like a texture that's been stretched out to infinity, and I love the building at 5:50. I don't know if it's the placement or the lighting, but there's something beautifully wrong about it.
I think the buildings look wrong because they are a 3D object that is projected on a flat plane and then slightly stretched. That combined with the lighting of the flashlight is just... off. Our brains don't like that.
I can't imagine how hopeless and terrifying that would feel. To be casually walking and chatting with work buddies one moment, to suddenly alone in a room that seems to have changed itself around. Suddenly, you're lost, questioning your sanity, and unsure if you'll ever see someone familiar again...
I actually just realized something. This main character is the lucky one. His coworkers and the team lead are the ones who no-clipped somewhere else. He remained in the same place. I just don't know what's gonna happen to him now that he discovered the secret lab.
@@leociresi4292 its actually the observation room constructed by them in later videos, meaning he just got shoved a bit farther into the future and was able to get back to his fellow scientists, hence why they were able to recover the video footage (from a lore standpoint)
This feels like it's straying more and more from the actual Backrooms lore and I think it's way better for it. I feel the tension and suspense in these videos, I feel way more terrified by the concept of this place, than I do by the actual lore of the backrooms, maybe part of it is because of how gamified it all sounds, where everything is categorized by levels, with highly specific and detailed ways to go into other levels, with generic loot and things like that. While most of backrooms content is like "oh yeah be sure to pack a few bottles of Almond Water before going into this level", this series makes it all look way more alien, something eldritch and unknown, instead of just some glitchy game.
I personally think that kinda ruins it. The more you try to explain somthing the less scary it becomes. Because that implies that it can be understood and in fact people do understand them. It also implies that people have been through the whole thing and mapped it out. It ruins the mystery and mystique of them and makes them FAR less creepy imo. Edit: I also hate how its explained as a glitchy game with "levels". other than how you get there; I think that fits pretty well. I feel like it shouldn't be explained at all and just left as this mysterious, senseless space just outside of reality.
I gotta say, The sound of fear in his voice as soon as the other people dissapear and he screams out for them is so real. The shaking of the camera and when he finds the room with the pc and servers in it. his breath is shaking (in my assumption) cause he cant believe he made it out. But when the Alarm goes off he starts to realize that he is not yet save at all. All in all better than any Horror movie made from Hollywood
Man, it would be cool if there's a survivor somewhere, managed to evade the creatures, made a makeshift base, memorized some part of the first couple of levels, and have been attempting to find and save others as well but have always been too late
ANY time you have an empty space like the Backrooms other people feel the need to fill it. Look at dead malls or abandoned hotels. It’s already an eerie space, but people insist on adding extra stuff (ghosts, dead bodies, lost employees, etc) .
I love the backroom stuff because i deal with office furniture for a living and ive been in some huge empty buildings. Sometimes it feels like stuff is right behind you.
5:31 this right here is perfection. I like how fake it looks and feels, pretty much like a bunch of .jpeg pictures clumped together mixed with somewhat realistic CGI. When the camera pans over to the left is a bunch of .jpeg weird looking ass objects like the wheelbarrow and an axe, then the .jpeg house further ahead to the left, just stamped on a wall... there's just something amusing and odd about fake looking objects like that just lying around. That can only enhance the overall 90s "strangely/oddly real" feeling of it. I wouldn't dare to further elaborate such a particular feeling. I somewhat feel like this whole "fakey" feel of it is kind of missing in Kane's newer videos as they're getting more realistic - that even actual actors are being introduced more and more - of course I don't really mind it, I still find the newer videos amazing, though I must say they're missing this very specific "fakey .jpeg feel" should I call it.
I can feel the fear and sudden panic when he realizes he's been seperated from the group, so much it legit makes me get huge anxiety. Outstanding work.
So I paused while looking at the wheelbarrows, and the way the wallpaper looks almost identical to a glitched out stretched texture is amazing. That's exactly the kind of thing I'd expect to see in the backrooms. Bravo.
With all the jigsaws falling into place with every new video this feels BEYOND AMAZING, the visuals are over the tpo, yes... But the writing! His vision of the backrooms is so far ahead if all the other backrooms content creators..
I really love that this version of The Backrooms was a government program that tried to solve a housing/storage crisis and accidentally caused...this. It's a very grounded idea that skates in to science fiction rather seamlessly.
I wasn’t into the whole backrooms lore, I’m fact I didn’t really even know it existed. But man, these are addicting. The talent.. While I’ve since looking into it, this stands on its own as pure horror entertainment, for people who don’t even know what backrooms are. Everything about it done to a degree where it feels so eerie and creepy and this visceral anxiety. It’s great.
Pretty much the same thing as slender man from /x/ on 4chan. Backrooms had lore like 10 years ago at least. 4chan has been controlling internet culture for the last decade it’s amazing. Creepypastas becoming a series of videos is so cool because you can visualize it without just reading about it. I’m about 10 years older than this kid (if the whole “SIXTEEN YEAR OLD DID THIS”) thing isn’t fake. I’m assuming they have a team of very skilled people working on this. A ton of people give credit to one kid who is supposedly young. Highly doubtful, but impressive regardless
i love the idea and execution of this series but god i wish it had closed captions or at least auto captions enabled 😭 im hard of hearing and can never make out any of the dialogue so anytime i try to watch i get discouraged bc i can’t follow what’s being said. ive never made it through the whole series bc of that and it’s a shame bc i do find it intriguing and well done
The sounding of the immense fear and sudden feeling of hopelessness is so strong, very well acting. The man quickly turned into a more vulnerable and weak state which makes this feel so much more surreal!
Kane made these amazing backrooms videos two years ago, meanwhile kids are still making them but putting fucking thomas the train and sonic the hedgehog into it, thank you for being consistently amazing and faithful to the backrooms lore, nothing is more infuriating than when something amazing is ruined by stupid people.
Honestly if the hazmat team didn't use the same walk animation and holding something in the same hand in the same pose I wouldn't have guessed it was animation
It's not animated, not all of it. You can kinda see author isn't that skilled at animating creatures from Found Footage. This is either an insanely good mocape, or (most probably) a ton of green screens, VFX effects, actual prop building, and maybe a VR headset to capture main camera's motion. So it's like adding real humans into 3d rendered scene, and this requires solid skill.
@@koyooko5160 i think he uses mixer and blender. it's rlly hard to make something realitsic, yet alone scary, he did an amazing job for just 16. imagine what he could do in 5 years?! im excited for his new stuff in the future!
I love this because even being in a fully cgi environment the camera movement LOOKS real. I hate CGI videos that have that horrid over done camera shaking and zooming. This looks like it was filmed by a real person.
I *LOVE* how the backrooms "separated" the person from the rest of the group! How even with a team of people who know exactly what they're getting into (literally), they can still be fooled into being trapped! Very cool
@@SenorWhyME actually yes, downplaying is exactly what you’re doing lol. If it’s so easy to make something this good ld love to see you make something better
So they were concerned bc the layout had changed, not all the audio communication is easy to understand which is a nice touch, and then he clips into a new instance, leaving him alone, finds glitched segmented portions of generation, and then one of the facility observation installations... So fascinating and immersive, keep up the great work Kane and everyone at Kane Pixels, by far this is my most obsessive fascination with horror and liminal spaces. In an era where horror has severely gone downhill, this completely revolutionizes and revamps the entire genre, amazing job and can't wait to see what's next!
I completely agree with you about horror. This new Backrooms is soo good and cant get enough. It seems like unlimited possibilities on what to create in this place. I'm sure whatever happens next we should be in good hands with Kane Pixels, absolutely killing it. 👍
My personal theory on how this version of the back rooms operates is: The scientists creating the back rooms knew that if they created space from nothing, it would be a completely random jumble of random materials. To avoid this, and to make the rooms more livable, they gave their “gateway machine” rooms to copy (this is supported by some of the images taken outside the backrooms as they seem very reminiscent of the rooms that we have seen inside the backrooms) . As we all know, this template idea sort of worked. With hallways seemingly becoming the dominant form of the backrooms. As seen by the very orderly hallways near the “gate” compared the the random hallways, the farther away one goes from the gate the more random and warped the rooms become. Here’s what the scientists truly forgot though. Their template rooms they gave their machine to reproduce had bacteria in them.
No, don’t. The more you explain it, the less spooky it becomes, like “Cube” or “Slender Man” you don’t understand it and that creates the fear, and, ironically by explaining it, just like the two I mentioned, it becomes less spooky. Don’t try to explain it, the fear of the unknown is a lot better than the fear of a couple scientists making an oopsie.
I always interpreted it as rather than the scientists creating the backrooms. They instead created a portal to them. Thus joing them to our world in a very physical sense. In their official report they imply they created the space as to not worry the government bigwigs.
I'm assuming he was lured by something into one of those null zones that was mentioned in a previous video, which is some sort of unstable zone in the backrooms between dimensions. I wonder if the alarms went off because his suit had the fungus on it, so the room was contaminated and was alerting any workers inside that they had to evacuate. Super interesting stuff, having loads of fun theory-crafting :) Keep it up!
Also weird side note: I noticed that it says Feb 29th 1990, but Feb 1990 only had 28 days. Could be intentional for some reason, could also be a minor mistake
He better get a reward for this stuff, if anyone on CZcams deserves best creator of the year, it’s him. Idk if thats a real award or not but still, he needs to be praised highly
8 freaking minutes in two weeks, and it’s movie studio quality. One word- HOW?! Don’t you have, like, high school or something?! This is absolutely AMAZING, especially given your age AND the time period. Absolutely blown away, as always.
@@jkeebla Even still.. with what we're seeing now... he has massive amount of potential. He could create some sort of epic horror movie with this sort of talent.
we did have quarantine and a few lockdowns over the past two years. i'd bet at-home schooling also helped cut down considerable amounts of time when he probably never left his work station.
Now with the info from the presentation video, what I find the creepiest is how the backrooms don't change at all over three months. Literally, *blip* months pass, not a single change on anything. It's like this place was already here, existing as something else, until humans came in and infected it with their wallpaper, their hallways, their fungus and exit signs, their concept of time and space. It's like this is a "temporary" reskin of what the backrooms truly is. And that's fkn dope as balls. +sub
I think i understand now. The room he finds at the end is the lab room that A-SYNC was making in the video labeled (motion detected). So he ends up finding his way back to the threshold, but at a later time. His disappearance might be why they decided to film the main rooms near the threshold. Maybe next time we'll get to see more of that abstract house wall he found ( he seem real interested).
I genuinely can't tell if the people in the backrooms are cg or real people somehow edited into the space... it's so fuckin well done. I remember seein the old man in one of your attack on titan cg animations and that looked amazin but ya could still tell it was cg... just look how far ya've come. This is superb! Seriously, well done on this!
The old man in the attack on titan video is not cg, its just composited in. The people here are CG, it looks like he's using mocap data for the animation as it is quite realistic movement . Although it could be hand animated I'm not sure. The hardest thing to fake in cg is the human face which is why you never see the faces of the suit people.
This is probably the most terrifying video of this whole series in my opinion. The worker who seemingly time traveled, knew how easy it was to get lost. It’s absolutely chilling when you hear the fear in his voice after he realizes he might be stuck there forever. ⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️ I see in that he made his way back in presentation you guys don’t have to tell me 😂
@@sickboy9902 I think probably not knowing what's is to come is more terrifying. Atleast you know how, where, and what is following you, it would aslo give a huge advantage of knowledge on how to survive in and possibly escape the backrooms.
@@tobytang0850 in hindsight it's more terrifying to not know what's to come, but in the present time knowing somethings after you is always scarier than not knowing
@@thiccboisauce172 I would say up until the point you know your not alone it's better to not know, but after that I would definitely want the advantage of knowing.
@@sickboy9902 the man who gets lost, he knew that the backrooms was full of the unknown, to put it bluntly. He knew that there was no escaping once you’re lost, but also didn’t know what he would come across. To summarize it, he knew his death was coming, just not how.
Really interesting that the lost guy seems to find his way back to the threshold at a far later point in time, after the room in front of it has been built (which you can see is just starting construction as of March 1990 in the Motion Detected video). Have to wonder if he got displaced in time or if he was just wandering for that long.
My initial thought was he was displaced in time, and then upon returning to the threshold he’s detected as an anomaly of sorts. Imagine thinking you’re safe finally free from the back rooms only to be rejected from the world you know, maybe even sent back to aimlessly wander forever

Does anyone know when exactly SCP anomalies/monsters began to show up in the Backrooms?
I love how in this series, there’s so many opportunities for jump scares that aren’t taken. It really builds up the tension and feeling of dread and is a breath of fresh air from the usual ‘jump scare every 2 minutes or it’s not scary’ template.
Agree entirely. Jump scares are the lowest form of "scary" in my opinion. Too easy to do.
Right ! I was thinking the same I keep waiting for the cheap jump scares but they never come.
I love how the backrooms are well lit too! Too many horror movies rely on being dark and poorly lit to be scary. Horror in the daytime is even scarier in my opinion.
Right? I was expecting one the whole time!

Anyone wondering I just came back from reunion and I think this is the guy that they find, you can hear him say Marvin after he gets teleported and that’s why they recognize eachother, and I think Marvin took his place as camera man just a theory.
Edit: I can’t believe how much attention this got most likes on a post I’ve ever had, thanks everyone.
Yes, yes yes! I'm convinced it's Peter too!!!
@thetruehacker agreed! poor guy :(
Same
A film theory
@hacker I want go what is it
I have a theory for the room with the tree wallpaper and the wheelbarrows. It may not be a good one. If this whole place was created by something that doesn't quite understand human architecture, could it be whatever "it" is trying to simulate the outdoors? You have a house with "trees" surrounding it( the wallpaper), and fairly normal items you might find in someone's garden, an axe and wheelbarrows. One of the windows in the house was even made of glass. Could be entire wrong but that's how I seen it.
I think you're pretty much right. The idea of the Backrooms seems to be a real-life version of copying and pasting models and textures from reality. It's like an A.I. algorithm trying to replicate aspects of our world in this strange other plane of reality.
Maze horror has always relied on fear induced by experiencing something close to the uncanny valley. I think the reason something uncanny is frightening is that it presents that a thing is trying to deceive us to let our guard down. The implication of course is horrifying. To put so much effort in deceiving us to make us vulnerable implies that the effort in preying on us must be at least equal to this effort in deceiving us, to make up for it. An infinite uncanny maze, so infinite horrors.
I think the creepiest part is how uncommon these places are. Similar to the outside area from pitfalls, it's just down a hall while the majority of the place is typical yellow wallpaper backrooms. Like it's a hidden area for experimenting with things you don't quite understand and don't want anyone to see yet.
Also, pay close attention to the audio as he points his camera at the house. Something's defiently breathing in there.
My take is that the room was no clipped from a section of the complex that takes place in the future. In Presentation, async announces that they want to build residential and commercial districts. It could be that they went far into their developments before things go horribly wrong. I could be wrong but we'll definitely get more answers to this mystery.
Key takeaways:
When the guy with the camera enters the narrow hallway it might be a form of "Null zone", because the rest of the team didn't hear/notice him whilst being there. It might very well be that he had already "disappeared" and thus was unable to be noticed. The red wire the rest of the team was carrying dissappeared, perhaps indicating that he was gone for an unditermined amount of time (the team gave up on finding him, and thus went back through the portal.
The darker room might indicate the precense of imperfections with the backrooms design (imperfect calcuclations), as the hallway leading to its enterence shrinks in height. The room differs due to having different wallpaper, no lights as well as distorted objects (large and small wheelbarrow).
When the individual is in the "theater" area, automated subtitles show "Applause".
The individual must have survived getting lost, because the last schematic shows the room he was in as a place for the portal to open up, the "threshold" linking "Standard" with the "complex" (hence the found footage). As he arrives to the door he is heard with a mix of laughing and crying (sign of relief), this together with an alarm activating when he spoke indicates this is a part of protocol to retrieve lost personel.
I don’t know about this being a retrieval protocol, but the room has ends in matches the surveillance room shown in the .tar archive photos video
Someone had to get the footage, so someone either found him dead or alive with the footage
My theory for the last part when the alarm came on is:
They knew about the monster in the last found footage video, hence the Async facility setup an alarm and defense system in case of that monster getting through. And in my opinion... the dude died due to the defense system. Everything else you mentioned tho. I totally agree with
@@Milky_Nguyen Either that or soldiers escorted him to safety
ur a genius
I think the single smartest thing this series has done is had a giant, shrieking monster in the first video and the first video only. Just the knowledge of what any of these people are actually in danger of encountering really ratchets up the suspense.
It's so good
yeh expecting to be killed at almost any corner but nothing actually happening feels like real dread, it's nice
This comment needs more likes.
Yes! The whole time I was like, is this from the same guy who made the one with the monster??? I need to remember so I know whether to expect one or not! 😨
There are several ways I've been breaking this down. Honestly, I saw that video a few weeks ago because it ended up in my feed. I started it, and couldn't look away. I'm still confused about what this is all about, but my guess would be the art of exploiting ones fear. The ending, falling from the sky and almost feeling immanent death after the creature chased you around, was very real feeling. I also think about it from the creature's point of view, having someone, like an alien being show up in your domain, where you are familiar with the layout and are potentially acting out of fear. That's kind of a terrifying thought in itself. But fuck that thing, it's evil and doesn't deserve my sympathy. Plus he kicked me out of a spaceship without a parachute. I'm still salty.
That guy nailed the VHS era infographic video vibes
At 3:10 you can hear him yell, "Marvin!" which really does mean that Marvin was there since day one. So Marvin just ended up taking his role as a cameraman.

you'd think people trained to explore the backrooms would have learned to stay put when they get lost, but he immediately begins to wander as much as possible...
also amazing scenery and freaky atmosphere, really good
OR just head back to the entrance. That’s what I would do
Could be maybe if you stay in one spot for too long the threat levels increase. My guess is there needs to be constant movement otherwise the creatures could find you/detect you easier but that’s just a guess.
4:04 i think That this is 💩
I don't know if there are other comments about this but I was putting together a timeline of all the videos and 1990 was not a leap year so the date that this supposedly happened is not an actual date in existence. the last day of February 1990 was February 28th. I'm guessing that this may have been affected by the supposed time travels happening in the backrooms
No jump scares, just anticipation of the worst. Spooky and I love it.

@K A D I E Sir, this is a Denny’s.
So cool how this is the same guy at the end of Presentation and Reunion (the reunion being between him and Marvin who also appears in this video)
Damn, this guy went mad…. I thought those security alarms were legit. But now after reunion (new video), I believe this guy descends into madness.
he was probably banished back into backrooms by async and Ivan Beck after that call, so async didn't have to explain what happened to him and how did he disappeared for 2 months. Also the sealed off entry to pitfalls (from Report video) was already open in the beginning of Reunion video, which kind of confirms this.
They were legit because of clip from "Presentation". Peter (cameraman) probably got sent back to The Complex because Async already faked his d34th (My comment probably would not be deleted, this isn't TikTok or something but I want to be sure my comment still will be here, that's why I censored it).
Bro that guy in reunion is different guy if you listen closely in one of the parts you can hear the guy in reunion says: yes its me steve
edit: and if that guy was dumped in the backrooms why would async (or ivan beck) would allow the reunions exploration
@@45f3f34f Yeah I think you are right because the guy in "reunions" is wearing something completely different then the cameraman for this video who shows back up in "presentation". My theory is that the guy in "reunions" is some other employee who was put back in the backrooms and that he has been affected in some way by the mold entity there because in "reunions" he isn't wearing a hazard suit and looks as if he is covered in mold.
@@MustafaAhmed-cf7bb maybe he just took off the suit?? In one of the community posts it shows drawings on a hazmat suit
Everything seemed so fine for this dude till the voices got him off the path and then the fact that he basically glitched away from the path and his group just made me full of fear. The simple fact that simply trailing off can get you lost so easily and maybe forever trapped brings back the fear that the backrooms had back when it first was made.
It was really fucking stupid of him to panic and start looking for them ngl. All the time I was just screaming in my head for him to go back the way he came from. Even if he couldn't find the exit because the halls were randomized or something he could have at least tried.
@@MCTogs the fact he followed suspicious voices was something he shouldn’t do at all. Like that is horror movie survival 101, don’t follow disembodied voices that seem close.
@@thephantomx6467 I mean but when you got a whole team of prepared people behind, it doesn't seem too risky at first glance too take a peek
Lol backrooms-ception
The really scary thing is there's something very similar to this in the Missing 411 phenomenon (which is 100% really happening). People in those cases have a tendency to disappear when they're last in a group or whenever there's a point of separation. Sometimes they're found alive with memory loss, but most of the time they're either found deceased or never found at all.
The fear in his voice after he realizes he’s no clipped is so terrifying and it makes you anxious knowing that we don’t know if he’s alone in there, great work kane you’ve outdone yourself on this one
the thing is I thought whoever no clipped ended up in the back rooms, but he was already there. They can all still no clip then while they are in there ?

Same bruh
but we had that pretty detailed drawing of backrooms map at the end... So he might've made it out alive. Or maybe they just found his camera and tried to restore the surroundings.
either way - storing things in a dimension that will randomly teleport them away isn't a good idea.

This one guy is putting entire production companies to shame in terms of both animation and storytelling skills.
I like how the wallpaper at 5:30 transitions from a recognizable pattern to looking like a texture that's been stretched out to infinity, and I love the building at 5:50. I don't know if it's the placement or the lighting, but there's something beautifully wrong about it.
I think the buildings look wrong because they are a 3D object that is projected on a flat plane and then slightly stretched. That combined with the lighting of the flashlight is just... off. Our brains don't like that.
I personally love the stretched wheelbarrow at 5:34 I don't get scared easily but it just freaks me the fuck out.

Suddenly, you're lost, questioning your sanity, and unsure if you'll ever see someone familiar again...
auuuuuuuuu
I actually just realized something. This main character is the lucky one. His coworkers and the team lead are the ones who no-clipped somewhere else. He remained in the same place. I just don't know what's gonna happen to him now that he discovered the secret lab.

You can hear the peter say marvin after yelling guys where did you go thats wild
"They took my life from me Marv, everyone thinks I'm f***ing dead. My wife and children think I'm dead."
Peter no 😭 that video threw me for a loop
This feels like it's straying more and more from the actual Backrooms lore and I think it's way better for it. I feel the tension and suspense in these videos, I feel way more terrified by the concept of this place, than I do by the actual lore of the backrooms, maybe part of it is because of how gamified it all sounds, where everything is categorized by levels, with highly specific and detailed ways to go into other levels, with generic loot and things like that. While most of backrooms content is like "oh yeah be sure to pack a few bottles of Almond Water before going into this level", this series makes it all look way more alien, something eldritch and unknown, instead of just some glitchy game.
Agreed. I tried getting into the backrooms lore after finding this channel, but the fan content seems to have destroyed the original concept.
Couldn't agree more. I was so disappointed to learn about corny factions and levels. The mystery of the backrooms is absolutely the best part.
Couldn't agree more with you. This is going in the best direction right now.
Lore does tend to ruin the horror of something scary for being unknown, so straying from it would be the best thing for it.
I personally think that kinda ruins it. The more you try to explain somthing the less scary it becomes. Because that implies that it can be understood and in fact people do understand them. It also implies that people have been through the whole thing and mapped it out. It ruins the mystery and mystique of them and makes them FAR less creepy imo.
Edit: I also hate how its explained as a glitchy game with "levels". other than how you get there; I think that fits pretty well. I feel like it shouldn't be explained at all and just left as this mysterious, senseless space just outside of reality.
I gotta say, The sound of fear in his voice as soon as the other people dissapear and he screams out for them is so real. The shaking of the camera and when he finds the room with the pc and servers in it. his breath is shaking (in my assumption) cause he cant believe he made it out. But when the Alarm goes off he starts to realize that he is not yet save at all. All in all better than any Horror movie made from Hollywood
You went from Sandwich to Backrooms real fast
Man, it would be cool if there's a survivor somewhere, managed to evade the creatures, made a makeshift base, memorized some part of the first couple of levels, and have been attempting to find and save others as well but have always been too late
This backrooms doesn’t have levels. It’s just a continuous space
It would be a sad life , never being able to leave , always being too late to ever get to anyone , hearing their screams , being so alone

I love the backroom stuff because i deal with office furniture for a living and ive been in some huge empty buildings. Sometimes it feels like stuff is right behind you.
5:31 this right here is perfection. I like how fake it looks and feels, pretty much like a bunch of .jpeg pictures clumped together mixed with somewhat realistic CGI.
When the camera pans over to the left is a bunch of .jpeg weird looking ass objects like the wheelbarrow and an axe, then the .jpeg house further ahead to the left, just stamped on a wall... there's just something amusing and odd about fake looking objects like that just lying around. That can only enhance the overall 90s "strangely/oddly real" feeling of it. I wouldn't dare to further elaborate such a particular feeling.
I somewhat feel like this whole "fakey" feel of it is kind of missing in Kane's newer videos as they're getting more realistic - that even actual actors are being introduced more and more - of course I don't really mind it, I still find the newer videos amazing, though I must say they're missing this very specific "fakey .jpeg feel" should I call it.
I can feel the fear and sudden panic when he realizes he's been seperated from the group, so much it legit makes me get huge anxiety. Outstanding work.

I wasn’t into the whole backrooms lore, I’m fact I didn’t really even know it existed. But man, these are addicting. The talent.. While I’ve since looking into it, this stands on its own as pure horror entertainment, for people who don’t even know what backrooms are. Everything about it done to a degree where it feels so eerie and creepy and this visceral anxiety. It’s great.
Pretty much the same thing as slender man from /x/ on 4chan. Backrooms had lore like 10 years ago at least. 4chan has been controlling internet culture for the last decade it’s amazing. Creepypastas becoming a series of videos is so cool because you can visualize it without just reading about it. I’m about 10 years older than this kid (if the whole “SIXTEEN YEAR OLD DID THIS”) thing isn’t fake. I’m assuming they have a team of very skilled people working on this. A ton of people give credit to one kid who is supposedly young. Highly doubtful, but impressive regardless

The sounding of the immense fear and sudden feeling of hopelessness is so strong, very well acting. The man quickly turned into a more vulnerable and weak state which makes this feel so much more surreal!

I can’t believe how far Kane Pixels has come as an artist. From his AOT stuff to backrooms

It's not animated, not all of it. You can kinda see author isn't that skilled at animating creatures from Found Footage.
This is either an insanely good mocape, or (most probably) a ton of green screens, VFX effects, actual prop building, and maybe a VR headset to capture main camera's motion. So it's like adding real humans into 3d rendered scene, and this requires solid skill.

I completely agree with you about horror. This new Backrooms is soo good and cant get enough. It seems like unlimited possibilities on what to create in this place. I'm sure whatever happens next we should be in good hands with Kane Pixels, absolutely killing it. 👍
@@reyariass yeah they are talking
I'm actually really excited that he was able to tell most information in this very video ~ Cheers Sean
portal references are almost in each video, its so cool
This is quickly becoming the most terrifying thing I've ever uncomfortably watched. Excellent work as awlays!!!
You may want to fix the spelling of “always” before someone comes along and rudely does it
My personal theory on how this version of the back rooms operates is: The scientists creating the back rooms knew that if they created space from nothing, it would be a completely random jumble of random materials. To avoid this, and to make the rooms more livable, they gave their “gateway machine” rooms to copy (this is supported by some of the images taken outside the backrooms as they seem very reminiscent of the rooms that we have seen inside the backrooms) . As we all know, this template idea sort of worked. With hallways seemingly becoming the dominant form of the backrooms. As seen by the very orderly hallways near the “gate” compared the the random hallways, the farther away one goes from the gate the more random and warped the rooms become. Here’s what the scientists truly forgot though. Their template rooms they gave their machine to reproduce had bacteria in them.
This deserves more attention
wait, but if the machine was given pictures as the templates, where did the bacteria come from?
@@nulu4668 i think he means physical pictures
No, don’t.
The more you explain it, the less spooky it becomes, like “Cube” or “Slender Man” you don’t understand it and that creates the fear, and, ironically by explaining it, just like the two I mentioned, it becomes less spooky. Don’t try to explain it, the fear of the unknown is a lot better than the fear of a couple scientists making an oopsie.
I always interpreted it as rather than the scientists creating the backrooms. They instead created a portal to them. Thus joing them to our world in a very physical sense. In their official report they imply they created the space as to not worry the government bigwigs.
Fun Fact: did you know at 3:08, the researcher is calling the names of the two researchers we see on Pitfalls. George & Marvin.
They both return in Reunion
Back Rooms Reunion: Peter
Digimon Reunion Tri: Meicoomon
What gets me is the total isolation. Not even background music. The sound of just his breathing intensifies it a hundred fold
I'm assuming he was lured by something into one of those null zones that was mentioned in a previous video, which is some sort of unstable zone in the backrooms between dimensions. I wonder if the alarms went off because his suit had the fungus on it, so the room was contaminated and was alerting any workers inside that they had to evacuate. Super interesting stuff, having loads of fun theory-crafting :) Keep it up!
Wait when was a fungus mentioned
@@treyebillups8602 missing persons
@@treyebillups8602 There is a fungus a team find at the end of the missing persons video around a dead body
Also weird side note: I noticed that it says Feb 29th 1990, but Feb 1990 only had 28 days. Could be intentional for some reason, could also be a minor mistake
@@oakzutv it's probably a mistake, we can assume it's march 1st
Backrooms is going to reach a whole new level of attention soon.... this is just the beginning!
Amazing work!
First
nice to see you here, btw fix ur upload schedule cuz i've been waiting for 7 months lol
yoooooo i haven't seen your channel in years
This is the series I would want to watch
Imagine if the backrooms is a real thing
I really love how some videos have no entites
It makes their appearances even more deserving
You got to appreciate the sound design its amazing. Same with the visuals of course obviously
He's only 16 years old, yet he's already nailing all of the visual effects in his videos. Well done.
Really???
@@yimnerr Yeah
Secs
He better get a reward for this stuff, if anyone on CZcams deserves best creator of the year, it’s him. Idk if thats a real award or not but still, he needs to be praised highly
@Colson Hartness check his about page
8 freaking minutes in two weeks, and it’s movie studio quality.
One word-
HOW?! Don’t you have, like, high school or something?! This is absolutely AMAZING, especially given your age AND the time period. Absolutely blown away, as always.
he dropped out
@@jkeebla Even still.. with what we're seeing now... he has massive amount of potential.
He could create some sort of epic horror movie with this sort of talent.
@@truezeonic3617 yeah seriously, he might not even need to do highschool with the skills he has
@@truezeonic3617 true, that would be amazing in the theatre. the psychological horror aspect of this series is top-notch and mind blowing dude!!
we did have quarantine and a few lockdowns over the past two years. i'd bet at-home schooling also helped cut down considerable amounts of time when he probably never left his work station.
The foreshadowing and full story arc from this 16 YEAR OLD is absolutely insane
Yesss!! This guy is just so talented it is overwhelming
Now with the info from the presentation video, what I find the creepiest is how the backrooms don't change at all over three months. Literally, *blip* months pass, not a single change on anything. It's like this place was already here, existing as something else, until humans came in and infected it with their wallpaper, their hallways, their fungus and exit signs, their concept of time and space. It's like this is a "temporary" reskin of what the backrooms truly is. And that's fkn dope as balls. +sub
That explains why the entities are so hostile. They're howling with rage over what these humans have done to their house.
I think i understand now. The room he finds at the end is the lab room that A-SYNC was making in the video labeled (motion detected).
So he ends up finding his way back to the threshold, but at a later time. His disappearance might be why they decided to film the main rooms near the threshold. Maybe next time we'll get to see more of that abstract house wall he found ( he seem real interested).
Indeed, agreed. As others have noted too: 02/29/1990 was not a real date in time, as it was not a leap year
@@leotide1990 👀 makes me think of multiverse theory or a parallel universe. So many unknowns, so many ways this could go.
nah. dudes in info vid had mold on them, motion detected didnt.
This actually aged well
@@JC-mi7wn indeed
When you already have anxiety issues but you decide to watch this so you can get an anxiety attack on purpose.
🤝
FIRST REPLY TO THIS GUY
edit: fuck in 2nd by 17 seconds i suck
Why tell that you got anxiety?
same but i got that stuff that stops it so i am fine for a while
This guy is extremely relatable
Was trying to figure out what series this reminded me of.... LOST!!! The ambiance, mystery, suspense. I love it!
Moments before people start talking about Reunions here.
I genuinely can't tell if the people in the backrooms are cg or real people somehow edited into the space... it's so fuckin well done. I remember seein the old man in one of your attack on titan cg animations and that looked amazin but ya could still tell it was cg... just look how far ya've come. This is superb! Seriously, well done on this!
The old man in the attack on titan video is not cg, its just composited in. The people here are CG, it looks like he's using mocap data for the animation as it is quite realistic movement . Although it could be hand animated I'm not sure. The hardest thing to fake in cg is the human face which is why you never see the faces of the suit people.
Ya, the people look super good, but the walking animation and some similarities in each model suggest CG.
Sometimes I think the whole place is real because of how good it is
I recall him saying everything in these vids are CG
Can you guys give me an breif description on what is this backroom thing?
This is probably the most terrifying video of this whole series in my opinion.
The worker who seemingly time traveled, knew how easy it was to get lost. It’s absolutely chilling when you hear the fear in his voice after he realizes he might be stuck there forever.
⚠️ SPOILER WARNING ⚠️
I see in that he made his way back in presentation you guys don’t have to tell me 😂
Makes me ask a question... what's more terrifying? Knowing the horrors of something or not knowing anything about it at all?
@@sickboy9902 I think probably not knowing what's is to come is more terrifying. Atleast you know how, where, and what is following you, it would aslo give a huge advantage of knowledge on how to survive in and possibly escape the backrooms.
@@tobytang0850 in hindsight it's more terrifying to not know what's to come, but in the present time knowing somethings after you is always scarier than not knowing
@@thiccboisauce172 I would say up until the point you know your not alone it's better to not know, but after that I would definitely want the advantage of knowing.
@@sickboy9902 the man who gets lost, he knew that the backrooms was full of the unknown, to put it bluntly. He knew that there was no escaping once you’re lost, but also didn’t know what he would come across. To summarize it, he knew his death was coming, just not how.
I just realised that 6:15 is where the backrooms found footage thumbnail was (where the bacteria was shown for a split second)
Peter got lost in the backrooms the noises were a distraction so somehow something brought him back to the future
I can't get enough of your videos (and I think I speak for a lot of people).
When will the lore end
@@ty77770 n e v e r
you think
I’m not a lot of people I’m just fat.
Think we should get this guy (amazing he is still kid)
A deal for a shortfilm?
Really interesting that the lost guy seems to find his way back to the threshold at a far later point in time, after the room in front of it has been built (which you can see is just starting construction as of March 1990 in the Motion Detected video). Have to wonder if he got displaced in time or if he was just wandering for that long.
Ratio
@@kfcmanager3199 ratio failed
@@kfcmanager3199 bruh this isn't twitter, go somewhere else.
My initial thought was he was displaced in time, and then upon returning to the threshold he’s detected as an anomaly of sorts. Imagine thinking you’re safe finally free from the back rooms only to be rejected from the world you know, maybe even sent back to aimlessly wander forever
definitely time travel. I imagine he'd die of thirst during the time it took to build the room
1:01 possible map of the known back rooms from the threshold unless the wall layout is rearranged every time the door is opened
