"never approach the door without any supervision/guidance" "not that it would do any good"
Considering people are falling through the ground ANYWHERE in the world, this sorta fits
The blue text flashes before that message but they the only word on the second row I'm pretty sure is "but" even tho they mistook it for "truth" so it would prolly line up as "not that it would do any good, but" "never approach the door without any supervision/guidance" glad I'm not the only one who thought that message correlated with the supervision line
The backrooms is a complex, so they plan on making houses there?
I thought the message was referring to the map that flashed a frame beforehand
I thought it said "Not that it would do any good" "but it O P" maybe opened?
Noooo! You said THE DOOR. Now they're coming for you
not gonna lie, the thing that really got me freaked out wasn't when the people glitched away, but when the man left behind says "guys?" and his voice is so small and full of terror. the acting there was incredible. the fear the character was feeling was so obvious in his voice that you can feel it. it wasn't just someone calling out for his team, but it was so much more. you can feel his terror and anxiety in just that small utter. i am amazed.
I know this is a silly comparison with that scene, but it reminds me when I got lost in a store as a child and couldn't find my mom. The fear of being alone in unknown place left with nothing but utter despair. Absolutely chilling.
Also, any answers on the explanation of his friends phasing out?
@@savagecabbagedank3771 I think that is a perfectly valid comparison lol. I remember that feeling **vividly**. Being completely alone suddenly with no clue as to what happened is so oddly terrifying
As to the explanation, I have no clue XD
He kinda sounded like John Roblox to me when he said guys the second time
I heard the guy say “do you really think there’s a bathroom in this situation?” Which I’m sticking with because while everyone is speculating about lore, one of these guys just having to pee is really funny.
That is also what I heard lmaoo
They say "do you really think there has been an accident in this situation?" i think
The wet carpet is from the people who keep really having to pee so they just pee in the carpet
@@nachochez8881 aw shi---
Why do you think the rug is so moist?
For the message: "Not that it would do any good" I can't help but to notice it flashes directly after the flash of the map, so if they're debating if the map changes or not - perhaps it's the map that wouldn't do any good
The map at the end of the video appears to be a specific room however, and It looks to be the room the guy set an alarm off in.
I think the alarm set off because he had fungus on him, triggering the alarm and telling anyone in the room to leave so they dont get infected
I concur
To me its indeed that room, and it almost seems like its another "threshold" maybe also part of Async, or another reality of it.
I know this is a bit late but I thought they were actually talking about the part afterwards of not going near the entrance or whatever because from what we've seen we know that people are clipping into the backrooms from the normal world anyways even if they aren't near the door
I was thinking this as well.
The Backrooms is like the SCP Foundation; everything is canon and everything is non-canon, it's up to whatever you're reading/watching/listening to decide what's canon or not. Reading the lore might be helpful, to see what inspiration the creator might take; it shouldn't be taken as gospel.
I prefer Kane’s version more than the original version. The idea of so many levels just doesn’t make any sense. The back rooms being kind of a storage space sounds more logical
@@antipop.mp4 finally, a based opinion
He needs to Atleast read some of the backrooms lore because he thinks the backrooms is a maze, but it’s not a maze at all. There’s no EXIT
@@DeveloperJake I mean theoretically, there is an exit, or at least an exit to the next level. That in essence, still makes it a maze. I believe technically you could still no-clip out of the back rooms and back into reality, but the odds of that are probably lower than you entering the backrooms in the first place.
My thoughts exactly
Something I don’t think many people realize is that anytime we’re seeing hand held footage, everything is visual effects. The whole environment and all the people in hazmat suits are actually computer generated. Truly speaks to how fantastic of an artist Kane is, so impressive!
The people too?!
They motions are so dang good
@@its-amemegatron.9521 Kane Pixels does an effect where he takes the blender footage, then runs it through an old TV and records that footage. This gives it a nice effect that can hide the uncanny valley of blender animation
Let me guess everyone watched Corridor crew to sound smarter
@@Flipcrash whomst
I actually made a comment on the video assuming they were that or just part of footage pasted into the CG environment.
From now on whenever I hear the word "Partygoers" I'm going to imagine a bunch of those tripod Backrooms monsters having a massive rave with glowsticks and confetti.
I think I need a therapist...
The real Partygoers basically look like Gumby's body shape with the SCP peanut's coloration, but to your credit they _are_ known to carry party implements like balloons!
You do have a point
Partygoers are basically hostile af and will make you into a cake. Not even joking. Partypoopers on the other hand where very humane and chill people. but in a war between those too they all got killed. Check out a video about this. It's pretty interesting!
Nah man, you don't need a therapist for this one. (Or any of them, really. Partygoers are partygoers!)
You don't need a therapist, you need to come to level FUN, it's completely safe, and we are throwing a party =)
32:47 - it still strikes me as really weird how some of the doorways/areas aren't lit. Like, everywhere else you can clearly see but then there's just some where the doorways are just....the abyss
Honestly, when Mirror Matt first started, he seemed really out of his element, but seeing him quip back and forth with MattPat and laugh together is really heartwarming. They're such a dynamic duo at this point. Would love to see Mirror Matt be in the channel intro if and when it changes lol
I don’t think I saw the video when he first joined the channel and so for awhile I genuinely thought it was Matpat like… in editing talking to himself. Idk why 😂 the name “mirror Matt” made me think that
They should do something about his voice/microphone though, he sounds like he is whispering all the time.
@@cheeseisherelive753 oh my god, i was wondering for ever if that is actually the case...
But for sure I absolutely agree
@@cheeseisherelive753 no no I totally get that. If I hadn't been watching when he was introduced I could see myself thinking the same
In regards to him not grabbing the axe, he's presumably been briefed on the backrooms and trained in what to do when something goes wrong. It's entirely possible his company has forbidden him from touching anything out of fear that it would cause problems. Perhaps he didn't grab the axe because he was worried it held some sort of contaminate, they *are* wearing protective suits, presumably they think something in there is toxic.
iirc the water should still be toxic? the carpet fluid
there is presumably some fungus in the backrooms
Known entities that lurk in Level 2 are Facelings, Hounds, Smilers, Dullers, Figures and Scratchers . A hallway in Level 2. There are 5 known colonies and outposts in Level 2 . Leader is known as "Austin".
@@tommythegun796 pretty sure the creator has his own entities and hazards than the fan wikis
@@tommythegun796 we should assume this is kanes personal interpretation of the backrooms until proven otherwise
I think the “Not that it would do any good” is aimed at the flash of the maze map. “Here’s a map, but its no use trying to escape. It’s not going to do you any good.”
Hearing Matpat try to understand the almond water and partygoers had me realize just how absolutely batshit the lore of the Backrooms actually is
What did you think it'd all make sense be perfectly plausible and never needed to be put in a timeline by dozens of youtuber theorists? lol
Don't you love how Kane Pixels is truly doing The Backrooms justice with all their found footage masterpieces
Yes
Yes
@Don't read profile photo Lol i already know what ur gonna do I will not read lmao
imagine kane pixels starts to get info from the wikis and makes another short film with level 0 1 and 2
@@quas4rx Kane is doing their own thing, their own version..everyone watching it would rather they not take after the multiple level idea because we want something more original not just a copy of the lore with minor changes.
The part where they all glitch out is accurate to the cannon. Level zero is known for separating people who try to go in a group. Typically at the very beginning though
Matpat’s gonna freak out when he reads “level zero”
@@mchsprod
Matpat: 😲Level *W h a t😲*
Where can one find this "cannon" that they have accurately represented?
@@austingolightly8903 The canon of this 'franchise' is inconsistent and unfounded, largely due to the fact that it's all fan submissions and whatnot. I believe -- and don't quote me on this, I don't give all that care to the Backrooms -- the information you're seeking is on the wiki page. But be warned: it's a fucking mess lol.
@@WildcardASMR it's a rabbit hole lol
the "Blame him" you mention I believe in the video the first contact when they were opening the threshold one of the researchers said we should stop this, it's not safe and the manager or whatever his position said "no keep going", and in doing so lots and lots of people started going missing.
It took several viewings to realize that the Generator Room is in our reality, and the power source for the threshold.
24:37 This scene is so fucking good. The silent fear and realization of what just happened is phenomenal. 👏
Perhaps the guy who wandered off had gone through a "Null Zone", seeing as his companions vanished and the room he went to was seemingly unfinished until he came back and it was filled with more tech like another comment said. He could have gone through time
but time may not even exist in the backrooms
@@epicamigo5395 dat is a valid hypothesis
@@habibakbar theres a lot we don't know about..maybe the backrooms exist outside of time or time flows differently because of kane's camera showing up a few years later and the footage being posted
@@gamershadow8 that's why I said it's a valid hypothesis, we still don't know anything about this found footage version of our beloved backrooms
@@epicamigo5395 True, that is pretty valid seeing as that guy's camera had shown up years forward compared to how long the guy was actually in there.
1. We see three people enter the back rooms
2. It clips to 4 people all the sudden with 3 of them just ignoring the 4th guy the whole time as if he’s not there
3. When guy 4 hears noises and follows it he finds that both the sound and his companions disappear before his eyes.
4. I get the feeling that he phased out from his party and they became a hallucination
that hallucination could have been a memory worm
Probably a null zone since nothing can hear or see you.
Maybe an entity disguised as the retrieval squad
@@soupmaster4472 like a skin stealer or something
it’s recorded by a camera my bro how can a camera have a hallucination
I personally think the “back rooms” is a mimic, an eldritch mimic being
It makes sense when you factor in the first video where we see the lone chair & that the person filming has the camera & the “monster” chasing him down is a combination of the chair & his camera
Oh wow, that's a good point. I noticed the camera connection but it definitely resembles a metal chair too
Makes sense why its wet
Theory: The person who got lost got no-clipped because he left the group, so the backrooms they were first in was only the location then he clipped to the real “ominous” backrooms
For me my theory is that he enter one of the null zones.
Anyone else notice him coughing a lot after entering that larger room with the alternating wallpaper?
Also, the blueprints at the end appeared to be the blue lab-like room he walked into.
Jesus that guy still calling for his coworkers around 24:30 and sounding more and more terrified was so well done. That actor/voice actor did incredible
39:15
MatPat saying he hadn't considered the backrooms to be malicious is interesting.
Because I thought that's WHY, he was looking for evidence of any layout change.
I was assuming he already believed it to be sentient, malicious, trying to trap, and confuse you.
Because that's what, I, initially assumed was the case.
It always felt like that.
Like, SCP-87, the stairs, where you constantly going through, this, living, conscious entity, as it's trying to torment, and destroy you.
That's how I've viewed the backrooms.
Sorry I don't remember the number.
I know it's double digits, SCP-86? Or, 89? Something like that.
I cannot recall exactly.
But, as far as theories, and, the ending.
I was wondering, because the whole time I was expecting to see the "monster" the creature roaming the halls, and you mentioned you were thinking the same, that's what his fate was, meeting this creature.
But he didn't.
And, the alarms going off when he, returned, when he entered the, "real world" or I suppose the "front room" you could say.
What if, HE, IS, the creature?
He came across what appears to be the mold.
25:35
He never ran into any other sign of "life" he got separated from the group, he was wandering back there, for, WHO, knows how long.
Is is possible that a SIGNIFICANT, amount of time has passed?
You could the place be abandoned?
Why is no one around?
The function of the alarm makes me think there are some people still working there.
But, why hasn't he seen the people he entered with.
WHY, would the alarm go off?
What's the alarm for?
Threats? Intrusion?
Something, unrecognized?
Something, not, human?
Just a thought.
What if he got infected and became the creature we've seen?
I, haven't really been 100% on the time, the dates, I'm not in my life, so, in fiction is no different.
So, if it doesn't line up in that regards, supposed just forget what I've said.
But, you did say he looked like a tripod.
And he, IS, carring a, CAMERA.
Coincidence?
Probably.
But, hey, that's just my thought.
Thought I had watching this.
Though, I think this is multiple.
Crammed into one.
Oh well!
I'll edit this with time stamps.
Edit: SCP-87
I agree with your theory about the cameraman becoming the monster. It could just be pure coincidence, but when they open the exit door around 34:40, right before it opens you can hear them breathing quite unnaturally, and very quickly. Another potential quality of a backrooms monster. In the official canon lore on the wiki’s and stuff there are levels where humans sometimes mutate into monsters if they meet specific conditions. So your theory isn’t that far-fetched.
12:55 - I think the 'Not that it would do any good' is referring to seeing the map as it is constantly evolving / morphing.
During the sixth and final Kv31 test, the map appears, but the phrase ‘There was an obstruction’ indicated a malfunction inside.
"Do you really think there's.... A monster in this situation?"
"There's too many variables"
Is what I think the guys say. This seems to still be early in their exploration of the backrooms, so there may have been sightings or even attacks.
I think possibly it may be a case of the corporation (Async) going like “this is perfectly safe. no monsters. keep going.” while the employees are like “Kevin said that jen who ‘got fired’ last week got captured by a monster in the back rooms”
“I mean do you really think there’s… some kind of ___ in this situation”
its do you really think theres something in this facility?
“So Do you really think there’s actually a vaccine in this situation” thats what i heard
What i heard was do you actually think theres a back room in this situation
I love when he’s talking about the partygoers because it shows how batshit crazy backrooms lore sounds to anyone outside the fandom lmao
timestamp ?
As one that knows nothing of the backrooms, it does sound pretty not spooky or fitting to the setting
what time?
@@bondithphear7788 around 16:00 and forward i think, dont call me out if im wrong, coz im not finna go back and look
Yeah I tried explaining it to my mom and she’s like: 🗿
"Don't drink the water" --> Carpet fluid
"Almond milk" --> Almond water
"Partygoers" --> Basically dangerous emojis who eat survivors of the Backrooms
I’m just impressed that mat was able to pause, rewind, pause, and rewind so often that he was able to extend the video to 5 times the length of the video he was reacting too.
I'm suspicious that the guy we're following was still with the group that he saw when the glitch happened. Backrooms could play with the concept of time. He went too far from the others and fell out of sync with their point of reference in the flow of time. Why would this concept of altering the fabric of space not alter the fabric of time as well, after all.
Basically I feel like this series is a different take on the infinite-bookcase portion of the movie "Interstellar". 😅
time is relevant in the backrooms so you could actually be right.
I think it's time alteration too and maybe vision alteration
I think that's why the alarm went off when he got back to the facility. They weren't expecting him to arrive, so there could have been an indeterminate amount of time between him entering the backrooms and coming out that's different from his compatriots.
Yeah, when the 3 guys disappeared, one of them might have been him.
What I believe happened was the guy walked down that narrow hallway and The Backrooms maybe stopped time for him but kept it going for everyone else which would explain why later in the video he finds that one room with the alarm because they only started building in the backrooms on the video motion detected (came after info. vid.). So, he might have been there for a few days 🥶🥶.
One thing I noticed about the wheelbarrows, there's "normal" sized wheelbarrows and then one huge one that looks stretched out vertically. Like a spacial glitch in and of itself. And maybe the fact that he didn't record entering the farmhouse itself reinforces the idea that it may have been fake. More like a theater set, instead of wallpaper. Just some thoughts, happy theorycrafting!
if you look carefully through the shadow of a wheelbarrow on it you can easily say it is an wallpaper
Exactly! The Green part behind it looked like a stage curtain
I like how he calls it theory crafting, which is what it is. He is crafting an entertaining story for us to enjoy and consume
As for the lore I'm pretty familiar with the backrooms lore, and hallucinations are common so I'd keep that in mind, but so far it's differing a lot from the wikis and things. I think Kane is doing his own thing, but some theories on the wiki lore would still be cool!
I personally think the “not that it would do any good” relates to the never entering the backrooms alone.
Based on the fact there was 4 people and one of them got lost anyway. The back rooms are always dangerous so to say
I also think no one takes anything because this is a government experiment they don’t want to disturb evidence as they could get in trouble for that
In the end of one of the other videos, there's a flash of text that says "if anybody, blame him" and I believe that could be what the "not that it would do any good" is the second part of.
@@DuckQuac that makes a lot of sense actually! Maybe there will be more messages to explain who 'him' is
@@tehribbons1192
Yeh! I think it's reffering to the scientist guy who wanted to "keep going" when the portal was successful but maybe we'll see!
"I also think no one takes anything because this is a government experiment they don’t want to disturb evidence as they could get in trouble for that"
Also, it is very possible that by taking an item it might trigger a monster or change in the room, which you definitively don't want to.
@@takezokimura2571 yes that is what I meant basically get in trouble by the government or get into trouble with the monster(s)
The thing about the cameraman's friends disappearing. When exploring Level 0, the yellow-walled maze level, it's VERY easy to lose your party members, and this is probably Kane's interpretation on what this concept means. Once you're alone, you're pretty much in an "private server" type of thing (I like to use the private server analogy for this). You could be in the same place at the same time, but in a different "server", if that makes sense. For all we know, all of the people in the cameraman's group could have been transported to different "servers" but all of them would have stayed in the same spot.
The only way to find each other again is if they exit the level either back to reality or find a way to get to Level 1. Level 0 is possibly the most populated since it's the most common place to be sent to after clipping into the backrooms, however there is no way to gauge the population in there since it's nearly impossible to sample it. Most people, however, likely would want to be in Level 1 because they can find and help each other, even though there is a chance you may run into an entity in the dark.
That’s wiki content and isn’t canon.
@@_Iscream nothing is really canon,it's a completely fanmade series
Interesting copy pasta from a wiki page dude but interesting summary of what you got it from it.
@@burber5849 There’s the canon (the original image), the fanon (the steaming hunk of garbage that is the fandom wiki) and then there’s Kane’s stuff, which sticks mostly to canon with some inspiration from fanon, but is still its own thing.
@@_Iscream there is also the wikidot stuff which is fandom but a bit organized with quality control
The backrooms level 0 (the yellow one) usually is a solo experience. You can't enter as a group and you can't find other people in it usually. I'd assume this video is the backrooms asserting that rule a little
Entry level. Enter in groups of no more than three.
Fact, The Back Rooms is actually called ‘The Complex’.
5:55
After talking, for so long . . .
MatPat: "Hey, Backrooms. Let's talk about that. Let's play. Let's react in real time. Huh."
CZcams: AD
Me: Bruh!
Matpat: “it’s a little warm here today”

Priority’s lol
Hi MatPat! I'm 1000dumplings, the creator of the Partygoers. They were an entity I made for the Backrooms Wiki (wikidot) which is a totally separate Backrooms lore from Kane Pixels' series. Sorry about all the Partygoer comments though... I made them very appealing and simple on purpose so they'd get popular, but it's really gotten out of control. But thanks for mentioning them regardless! =)
Their actual 'lore' is very simple as I mentioned. They're tall yellow monsters with red smiles on their faces. They're constantly in a state of euphoria, and are obsessed with having parties and eating cake, along with an innate desire to turn anyone they find into Partygoers too. Their faces are flat, with no holes, so they eat and transform people with the lampray-eel-like toothy mouths on the ends of their arms.
There's also the "Partypoopers", which I didn't personally create, but are still pretty important for their lore. They're failed Partygoers that are always sad, but still benevolent, wanting to protect innocent wanderers in the Backrooms from the Partygoers. They're all dead now, supposedly.
Anyways, the Partygoers and any other Almond Water (not milk) type lore is all from the Backrooms Wiki, which are like the SCP wiki, but for the Backrooms; Made by a bunch of people together. You should check out those wikis, like the main Backrooms Wiki and Liminal Archives, but try not to equate them from Kane Pixels' version of the Backrooms! Thanks again for mentioning the Partygoers, I've been a fan since my childhood and its super cool to see you talk about them. Take care! -1kd
Main backrooms wiki? Wtf
I hope Matt sees this
Bump!
Backrooms wiki is sadly, mostly shoddy writing. I would bet that Kane took the best concepts from that wiki and make it his own spin.
Wow surprised the partygoers creator is here
So I looked into the distinction between the lore to figure out the authenticity of the partygoers, there's technically four canons that have been accepted currently. However Kane's does not quite fit into any of these:
- Pure Canon includes only the backrooms: Yellow wallpaper, hum of fluorescent lighting, wet carpets, etc. And a single something wandering around. Done and done.
- Traditional Canon includes levels 0, 1, and 2. None of which are featured in Kane's, save for 0 (The Backrooms)
- The Main Nine includes levels 0-8. This canon is the same as the Traditional Canon but adds additional levels.
- Unrestricted Canon which has an indeterminate number of levels. As of right now there are so many levels that Clusters have been made, each cluster is 1000 levels. Effectively being similar to the SCP Foundation's "Series." There are 4 total Clusters, with two being stable and two being unstable. Additionally there is also a Negative Cluster which contains negative levels such as level -1 which is a hallway of doors which lead to either level 0 or level 2. (The Fandom contains all the clusters while the wikidot contains only the first cluster)
Kane's canon has, in Found Footage, confirmed the existence of multiple levels, so it is not the Pure Canon. We can also rule out Traditional and Main Nine because none of their levels contain either of the additional ones in Kane's canon. Kane's canon seems to be an adaptation of the Unrestricted canon. I say this because in the Unrestricted Canon, level 0 has _no_ entities to speak of whilst Kane's does. The fungus found on John Doe (possibly Kane himself) seems to be similar to Entity 17 (The Crawlers) but they don't appear to go to level 0. The level after 0 in Kane's canon also does not line up with level 1 in the Unrestricted Canon.
Basically, the experiment responsible for the back rooms is portrayed to have been the cause of the Loma Prieta Earthquake in 1989 in San Francisco aka the World Series earthquake because the 1989 World Series game 3 was beginning when the quake started. The video portraying it shows the footage of candlestick park after the initial quake.

I mean he could because this is kane pixels interpretation of the backrooms, but he wouldn't be able to use any other part of backrooms lore because it is under creative commons
@@allisonharrison2341 good, backrooms lore sucks
I lost it at the moment of silence then mirror Matt’s stoic “booob”😂😂😂😂
The backrooms are created in Unreal Engine 5 with VFX. The Characters are also UE 5 assets not real. He uses a VR headset as a camera to record these videos. Amazing work.
Amazing! How do you know?
@@o-o_pingu Because I saw his tiktok channel explaining it. Interesting stuff.
The wheelbarrows in the room with the floral wallpaper almost seem like props, with the 'house' being a stage backdrop. Incidentally, we see this shortly after the large, theatre-like room is shown, so maybe there's a connection there? Who knows, maybe the partygoers are trying to put on a show...
Also, I'd be cautious about pulling from the existing lore, simply because so many people have added to it and a lot of it is frankly ridiculous. If I were Kane, I'd start by assuming that ONLY the original 4chan post is canon, and building from there, which I think the series so far has done.
partygoers?
@@NachtAsile I was just kidding about that part, but he does mention them in the video.
The theatre-like room could be level 42, one of the canon backrooms levels.
@@justko_ Why would it be a different level if it’s just a room in “level one”
@@justko_ it’s only canon if you believe it to be, and in my canon there are no levels
You'll be happy to know that Kane is creating his own story, and that it's autonomous from the original canon, so you can investigate a bit if you want
I say he should wait. Taint his thoughts on this story with preconceived notions. Matt unfortunately has a knack for running with the first idea he gets whether its applicable or makes sense.
21:44 there are "creatures" that look (to me) like old time Gumby. these, apparently are what are known as "party goers" i just found out( about the backrooms...or was reminded) yesterday. Oddly, they remind me of sometimes dreams I have; where the place is decepit, musty and abandonned, except for the overwhelming feeling that it is haunted by lonely spirits. these places in my dreams always take the form of a forgotten place, accessible thru a tiny hallway. the hallway is tiny in height and width, but long and twisting, turning; and carpetted with a grimy musty carpet. I've found a mansion there, but again so decrepit, that one would not want to explore it long, if at all.
I think in reality, it is Nature reclaiming what man tried to usurp from Her domain. It's a punishment, a timeout.
It's not just you with the Partygoers' looks. My go-to way of describing them is "Gumby's body with the SCP Peanut's coloration and murderous streak". XD
I think the house and old wheelbarrows are an indication that the backrooms have been around for a very long time and people walking around using wheelbarrows or just chilling at home were teleported here.
While it is shown in the series that disappearances increased after the intentional discovery of the Backrooms, its possible they still existed across all of time
Absolutely so, the Back Rooms were there long before Async dimensional sliced into them
Something I think is interesting and that we should keep an eye on is that the two people we've seen who have been stuck in the backrooms start coughing. I think it could be related to the mold thing we keep seeing, and I don't think the coughing is unintentional since Kane is animating everything we see. Something else I found interesting is when we watch the group of people walk together we catch a glimpse of one of their legs and what looks like to be mold on the pant leg. I think that that is an important detail that tells us why they are wearing hazmat suits and we can see how fast this mold can start to grow.
cool
Maybe The People Actually Become The Mold
Are you telling me these
Are all animated !?!?!? I figured it was like some type of stage magic in terms of a set. I’m like 100% more impressed by the scope of these settings now

Yeah, that's an interesting observation. There's actually a (different, I think) type of mold in the Backrooms, and it can turn you into a zombie-like entity. (Can't remember what it's called) It's kind of like the Cordyceps fungus, but much worse.
Personally, I walked into Kane’s series with the intention to accept his version of the backrooms and see what original lore fits. I don’t really think Kane expects the entirety of his audience to know nothing about the backrooms, so knowing background knowledge can only give you more theories, right?
Plus it’s super fun to learn!
He makes theories based on kane's universe, and kane does not base his backrooms on the "" "" "" canon""" "" "" ones
Agreeeeed
Personally I think that's the best way to approach it. Kane gives you the majority of the puzzles and leaves it to the community to figure out what from the lore fits. It allows people who have never heard of the Backrooms to enjoy it while letting people who have known about it for longer to have fun seeing hints of things from the canon.
@@Kubsj There are allot of stuff from the other canons he included in the first found footage film
@@Wignut Like what?
Kane's backrooms is mostly based off the archived level 0 but the rest of it seems consistent with other levels.
Kane’s backrooms just has the *backrooms* (don’t call the original backrooms level 0, disrespectful) and liminal spaces he finds cool on twitter, google, ect. He doesn’t have levels.
@@ThatBackroomsFan how is it disrepectful

matpat: the man who can make an 8 minute video into 40 minutes of content lmao
At least he doesn’t hide in the real life Back Rooms that is Facebook!
That’s right! I said it!
I think kane is like SCP content creators, he was reading stories from The Backrooms wiki and decided to connect things together and make his own canon, so even if it's not exactly the canon he surely drawn things from the wiki and the fandom
While I might be a bit late to point this out, the whole “not that it would do you any good” line is right before the part about never approaching the threshold without supervision which to me sounds like it the doorway is always going to be dangerous regardless of what they do, whether or not this would apply to other rules is answered by the fact that the camera guy got split from the group just by standing in another hall.
I wouldn’t recommend trying to pull from the preexisting lore mainly due to the fact that there are at least two different lores that I know of, so one of the bigger issues with that would be potentially conflicting information.
Not that it would do any good, but if anyone, blame him. He's dropping parts in different videos
Yeah that’s what I thought of as well!
@@gamandstuff1048 You're a genius I tell you
Yea exactly, idk how he didn’t catch that.
There's the fandom wiki lore, the wikidot lore, the liminal archives lore and the Kane Pixels lore.

23:04 GUYS?!
After watching a few of your reaction videos, I did a little bit of "research" of my own of the original backrooms and from what I know, the level Kane uses in his videos is level 0, and in this level in particular, the backrooms literally tries to separate you from other people and make you go insane from how lonely and quiet it is. So it is almost impossible to travel in a group in this level. This could be why one decided to make the people disappear, leaving the other guy alone.
Man, I love the backrooms and this just makes it even better
@Don't read profile photo ok
@Don't read profile photo ok
Someone tell him that the backrooms isn’t a maze
@Don't read profile photo sure
you just used that term outside the async facility, better check your locks.
Is it just me, or is MatPat the only person that can make an eight minute video a forty minute video but it's still good the entire time?
Just to let you know, the partygoers in the ceiling this is referring to the fact that if you end up noclipping through the ceiling, you end up in a diffrent part of the backrooms called "Level Fun" which is where the partygoers mainly live, so the partygoers get into the yellow part of the backrooms by clipping through the ceiling. Also if you do end up looking at the original cannon, I reccomend looking at "Level Scribble" on the backrooms fandom.
The last blueprint with the Threshold and the Complex, are the blueprints of the room he ends up in, you can see the window, door, desk, even the computer on the blueprints
So, what I gather is, they made some sort of safe room immediately behind the threshold. But why it wasn't there at the beginning? Also the threshold seems to be closed at the end? Did he maybe traveled in time to the future?
Eaxactly so, the rough sketches were the blueprints of the circuitry room with observation deck (near the window), the alarms were a warning that a monster has made its way into the Entry level and is now roaming around.
I wonder if Kane would go in depth in the other levels of the Backroom.
The first video did briefly went to the other levels, but didn’t expand from it and went back to Level 0.
@frogcereal yeah but we've literally seen other levels in this, it couldn't hurt to at least touch on those a little
It did go into other levels?
Oh nvm I remember
@@Notabl3

I swear, throughout all the backrooms videos, I have been creeped and felt anxious, but this one
scared me for real
Manager at store: hey do you think you could go through the door to collect the machine from the back rooms, now you're new here so you will have to get a map to navigate the hallways that span the complex.
Async: Nooooooooooooooooooo
Mr. Burns:” Smithers! Get me the number of this Async company. I’d like to buy them out!”
I haven't seen the video yet, but Partygoer is an entity that draws its victim to its own level where it then turns the victim into cakes and cupcakes. Once upon a time, they fought a war with the Partypoopers who, on the contrary, help travelers. the fact that the Partygoer is nearby can be recognized by the fact that a red balloon can be seen in the vicinity.
That’s not canon Backrooms, though. That’s fanon. And fanon kinda ruined the Backrooms. Kane’s stuff is the closest to the original while still incorporating other stuff without going hog-wild on the lore like fanon.
@@_Iscream nothing is canon, tho. Its all fanon, just varying degrees of what's accepted as better or worse fanon

@@autumnlotus6250 It’s all so unregulated that at this point it’s just one giant mess of lore. It’s like when two kids are trying to one-up each other’s stories so they start adding more and more until it’s nonsensical.
I’m not an expert on this, but I think staying on Kane’s canon is better to make theories about it
MATPATTT, i dont think youll see this but remember how before the "not that it will do any good" image appeared there was a map before? i think the phrase actually refers to the map and how it wont do anything
Or maybe what it said right after “never approach the door without supervision” or something like that. So even if you approach the door with supervision it won’t do any good. And it could even go for the next thing which was “never go in the complex alone” so even if you did go with other people wot won’t do any good and we can kinda prove that because that guy who went in there with 4 other people suddenly got teleported and was alone so it won’t do any good.
I’ve commented this before, the four men should have been tethered together, then this never would have happened, or they would all have been quantum leapt three months into the future
Matt is definitely still a popular name, in my life of 18 years I’ve had two best friends with the name of Matt, and many other regular friends also named Matt
Something that is maybe interesting to note is that on some walls theres like baseboards or on others there's not. Idk if that's just random or anything but maybe it has something to do with orientation or how the backrooms are created?
When he "glitched" and everyone disappeared, it seemed almost like a time warp to me. Like they are messing with space, so it is also messing with time. Not sure though. Also the wheelbarrows, house, and computer room seemed to me like other stuff besides just. humans could "glitch" and "clip" into the backrooms. Or even the backrooms was somehow pulling locations with connections in. Again not really sure.
Depending on wich cannon Kane Pixels (creator of this series of videos) takes from, the Backrooms (atleast the wiki one that's a bit like an unprofessional SCP Foundation, IMO) are known to bend time and space to mess with any wanderer inside of some specific levels
I'm thinking the same, but there is a part of me that wants to think about multiple realities in the same place but in different frequencies. That's for example can explain why we can't see the monster. But as I said earlier it could be just your point with the time warp/travel idea as it can explain the same thing as well.
I think the other people noclipped. When it comes to the items I think they either also noclipped, were already there, or were brought there by other people/noclipped with them. I mean like all of those occur not like it's 100% one of them
no cause I thought the same with the time. that time could be slowed or sped up in the backrooms, that possibly every time you turn down a different hallway the time changes. as soon as he left the group and turned down the hall, it took hours instead of the few seconds it should've taken
@@skyesings722 Well actually something happened to him before he left the group now that I look back. They never responded when he called out originally and they continued to not respond after he turned down the hallway. He turned back around while trying to call to them and they disappeared.
The blueprint at the end of the video with "Complex" written on it gives me the feeling that it was showing the room that lost guy was in, or a similar room, and it looking into the Back Rooms. Also there seems to be a "Threshold" to the left of the room, a wider looking gate to the one they went in through. So it looks like there are ways to travel through the maze quickly, or go in and out through different areas instead of already known sections.
Yes Mat. You should definitely read more. This seems to be a prequel to the backrooms wikidot story, based on the theory that the backrooms was created to be a storage space by the government. This was one of the multiple theories of where the backrooms originated on the wikidot. I'm assuming kane just liked this story the best and chose to animate this over the rest. I suggest reading the first 13 levels (0-12) and to read the MEG documents on the backrooms wikidot website.
I think that when it says "NOT THAT IT WOULD DO ANY GOOD" it's refering to the map that was shown a few frames before.

Here’s a theory. The lost guy we see now is the “blame him” guy…
They mention in the autopsy report video that the body was a 16 year old male I believe. This person sounds too old to be 16.
Bruh they mentioned him 18-20 years old.
I was thinking that when browsing the comments
“Hey what do you do for work?”
“Oh I work heavy machinery”
“How many at a time?”
“Just one machine”
BOOK EM
i came into this with my door open and lights on thinking i was gonna be super scared but 10 minutes in i haven't stopped laughing lol
I think that the matt behind the camera, should be a PNG in the bottom corner or something, and it expresses his emotions, I think that'd be awesome!
I think the “not that it would do any good” relates to the map that was shown right before it as the Backrooms are always changing and a map would end up being useless. Just a thought idk 🤷♀️
exactly my thought
It doesn't seem like the backrooms are changing in these videos, though it does seem like a map is useless because, well, what would it point to?
Although, when I first saw it, I interpreted it as more referring to the part after, as in "Not that it would do any good: travel in groups of at least 3 people"
I have a theory:
What if the A-sync created a representation of the Backromms and if you are not really close to someone you might end up in the real backrooms?
I have a theory that time is warped there and if you are too far away from someone your time un-syncs from the others, so to them you disappear and they get worried and look for you and then eventually leave, like you get teleported into the future while everyone stays in the present
Isnt the backroom also a non linear space. So you can walk in a straight line and end up were you started. I guess space isnt the only thing thats messed up in the backrooms. I guess time is also relative
‘ There’s an obstruction’
The Paper clip Men distorted the magnetic waves causing the portal to become unstable
@@bestiebrodie4110 i mean, if you get teleported into the future i think you would still see the line they left, i'd say you go to an alternate universe or go to past where there is nobody and you are alone.
@@xed7712 if it was the past, the guy from future would eventually end up meeting with his past self along with his group.. but that would also mean that they would’ve all met the future version in the video?
I think the message, "that that it would do any good" is for the clip after that says "Necer approach the threshold without guided supervision" because the text initially being flipped gives me the idea that you have to think of the video backwards, it also makes more sense in context
Almond water: Not almond milk. it's a "refreshing" beverage you can find around the rooms.
Ceiling crawlspace: Yes, you can go into the ceiling, it's perfectly safe. if not a bit dark, be careful about bumping your head.
carpet water: the reason you can't drink it is in some lores it's human spinal fluid, and in some other lores its just nasty water that can make you sick. but in some lore you can drink it so :/
partygoers: a race in the backrooms of tall, somewhat slender yellow skinned humanoids. their flesh is leather-like and hard to puncture. their face is carved into their head and quite bloody with a constant smile. they generally hold balloons but something to note is they don't have hands, rather, they have holes into their arms where hands should be. the holes have rows of rows of sharp teeth, this is where balloons can come from, noone knows how. if they grab a hold of you and sink the teeth in for long enough you'll turn into one of them. they lure people with their balloons.

FOR MAT: Do NOT use the Fandom/Wiki's stuff for Kane's lore, he has a separate world, distinguished and with its own lore.
To me, and I'm surprised you didn't have this takeaway as well, the house in the "forest" with the wheelbarrows and ax all read like theatre set pieces. The giant wheelbarrow particularly looked like a flat meant to sit in the background to simulate perspective and scale. And the house was a wall (real or flat) with real doors, that was painted to look like the facade of a house. I'd be really interested to know what it would look like behind those doors.
Thats what i was thinking when i first saw that
I thought it looked like a set too. Mostly because of the roof overhang looked too shallow
I thought that as well, with the props and wallpaper as well. As to what it means, I have no clue.
I completely agree. The bigger wheelbarrow definitely seemed like it was backwards, and you could see the boards that you would use to stand it up. I am a little unsure about the house, but it seems that the reflection shows that the house was farther away, because the reflection would have been bigger, with how close the guy was to the edge. My thoughts are that the house isn’t real, just a big prop that uses real glass in the windows (how else do you get that kind of reflection?). It is really hard to tell though, without the guy getting closer to it
When I first saw the video I thought it was a real house like Mat did, but seeing it a second time with him responding it definitely looks like the whole thing is filled with props. It's very strange. It'd make sense for him not to take the axe too, if he thought it was just some sort of prop and not a real blade.
I think it’s really interesting that when he glitches he keeps going deeper into the maze rather than going back and trying to retrace his steps to get back to the door, also think it very reminiscent of stranger things with the gate and the upside down, as well as the monster and sudden disappearances. I don’t think that the maze changes itself but that the maps we’ve seen are maybe just different floors since we know there’s multiple levels. Also I’d be really interested to see the perspective of the people who haven’t glitched, do they know someone is missing? Or is it that they lose memory that they were ever there with them, like with the other people in the suits in this or the people Kane was filming with above ground
Also if you glitched with the tether, or red cord leading to the door, would that glitch with you? If the backrooms are malicious and trying to get you lost then I imagine not but I’m not sure if that’s something it can control, I’d imagine it would stay with you since Kane and everyone else glitched with their belongings that were on them, such as the camera, so what would happen if everyone entered with their own tether to the door, surely they’d all be okay with getting back??
He was trying to retrace his steps to the exit but got lost as he no longer had the tether to follow and was panicking.
@@CodeeXD no, it looked like he was trying to find his co workers again. Like you said, they lost their tether. Meaning it would useless to try and retrace steps. And instead better to look for co workers since they might be able to hear him call for them.
28:54 does anybody notice that the floor is running a different direction than the wall. They are perpendicular not parallel but more so diagonal. Not even like rotated 90 degrees but straight up totally different angles.
Yeah, on reflection, the room he walks into is *clearly* the room they were just starting to set up in the later video with the camera and sightlines. You can see that the walls have the same scaffolding around the edges, and the tiles on the ground are the same tiles they'd started to set up. I think he got bumped forward into the future.
Mirror Matt sounds extra giddy today, he is such a delight
Yes indeed! He is so much more open now. ^^
Petition to get Mirror Mat added to the intro (since I've started watching these almost as much for him as I do for Mapat at this point) except instead of a picture or clip of his face like they do for Mat and Steph, it's just a mini comp of all the times his hand has appeared in frame
I think they should slap clip art of a mirror over every instance of Steph’s face
Here me out, I’m pretty sure in science there’s a theory that your hand could pass right through something if the molecules line up correctly in a one in ten billion chance maybe. That’s how I think people get to the back rooms because they no clip
“NO, STOP IT!” was so funny LMAOOO ANOTHER ONE RIGHT AFTER
I think it's worth looking into the original backrooms lore the way you look at the marvel comics lore: see how it will influence the story, but not expect everything to be the same.

28:58 - Since we don't know all the details on this version of the Backrooms and/or the people researching them, I'd say it's entirely possible the men were explicitly _told_ by their superiors to not touch anything they didn't bring in with them. It very well could be that the last time someone did, it triggered a monster attack of some kind, and now the group ensures no one ever makes that mistake again.
Edit: Also, it's almond _water_ that drips from the walls, _not_ almond milk. Almond water is a substance unique to the backrooms made from a plant called almond wheat (grown on a different floor from the ones we typically see) and while the instances found in bottles and cartons are not only safe to drink but even taste _good_ (a mix of almond and vanilla flavors), the kind that seeps through the walls and floors are tainted with poisonous Carpet Fluid and is not safe to drink, even if you try filtering or even boiling it first.
I wonder if the “glitch” we see is a Null Zone that was talked about in a previous video. Could the sound be leaking in from the real world if it is a Null Zone? Maybe Null Zones are the places where people can glitch/noclip through into the backrooms, or deeper into the backrooms.
