I gotta say, the scene where he was being chased while it making ungodly noises was one of the most suspenseful and terrifying things animated so far. The buildup to that was really well done. Felt like I was the one being chased instead.
I love how that the team's primary goal is keeping everyone alive. Some other classified classified series might of had them leave him for dead but this team was working best they could to get the guy back alive.
@@9a_23_tyrantqiu7 from the looks of things Async doesnt seem to be this evil mega corp, more like just an ordinary company with ordinary people working there
@@CountCalcium yea, just because async wanted the footage doesn't mean they're evil. They're curious abt what marvin found and i doubt they will leave marvin alone if he didnt find anything anyway.
@@9a_23_tyrantqiu7 Well it also goes into the fact that would you go into a hostile zone with a team of people who are more likely to just leave you behind than save you? Of course the company might have ulterior motives, and the team knows they need the footage, but they also want to save him because they would want the same done for them.
I love how the camera man here actually survives. And between the clean animation skills and the 90's camera quality allowing any small animation mistake to be unrecognizable, and overall the product comes out extremely high quality and realistic even.
@@lastman3630 Sometimes after going running I cough because I end up choking on my own saliva a bit, so he might not actually be dying to the fungus (if he's lucky). seems to be the implication here though, sad cause he actually made it away from the creature from what's shown.
@@lastman3630 You're acting like the only context in which someone can cough in this series is being infected. Nothing happened in this video where he could've caught it, and he also, y'know, just finished running from a messed up creature that nobody knew existed for multiple minutes while wearing a heavy suit, holding a camera, and definitely had an adrenaline rush. I wouldn't call it a stretch to say that would make him be coughing and breathing heavily right after the fact.
This series for sure wouldn't have the same impact if it wasn't made to be mimicking Analog/Found Footage horror, it's the fact it looks so real that it can actually pull you in.
the screams from that monster are seriously something else. i hope this quality of sound design carries over to the movie you are directing. gives chills.
@@8bitfloppa yeah he’s working with A24 pictures. Same studio that worked on the whale, everything everywhere all at once, the lighthouse, hereditary, midsommar
The entity simply records the help pleads and death screams of its victims, and uses it as a bait so that the delvers mistake it for a person and get into a situation where they are vulnerable.
The voice acting is top notch. It sounds exactly how anyone would sound in a situation like this. When he said “That’s not a fucking person!!” and “Im here! Im here! Send it down!”, you could hear the terror and panic in his voice. Amazing work 👍🏼
First time we've actually seen somebody survive an attack without dying. Love how we had multiple people talking despite only having a POV of 1 person. Visuals look amazing, awesome work! :)
This is really turning into a tv show at this point. There's characters, side plots, main plots, cliff hangers, hooks, relatability, horror, and so much that an actual tv show has. This is top tier
I'd honestly follow a series about this team and their various exploits in and outside of the backrooms, it would be interesting to see how they dealt with all the weird stuff they encountered and not being able to talk to anyone but their co-workers about it.
The delivery of the "That is not a person..... THAT IS NOT A FUCKING PERSON" lines are soo good. At first he sounds confused and more like he is thinking out loud. But in the second one he realizes he is right and realizes the fact that that is not a person but some kind of monster and we can hear that fear and realization in his voice. Also I love how after he climbed up a bit he finally felt safe and realized how tired and in pain he was and had a breakdown just crying and gasping on the ground.
Or he said it casually first because he simply didn't see it as a threat and thought he was hiding enough, and after it was running at him he simply started panicking
I love the fact that he was able to talk to the rest of his team the entire time and he wasn't completely alone. It's entertaining watching someone freak the fuck out from something and everyone else panicking because they don't know what's happening.
Honestly, the fact they were talking in the background helps you stick with it. It pulls you into a false sense of security so the bigger scare can pay off. It's like how in Amnesia the Dark Descent, the devs deliberately give you safe areas with ambience to calm your nerves so they heighten the scares back up again when it's time to leave that safety. Not to mention, I personally just enjoy hearing idle radio chatter, so personally it had me intrigued. But also it adds a whole new dynamic to the encounter. How is the guy going to react to being able to talk to other people? How are they going to react to him? Will they be of help? All of this to say, yes, the radio chatter was a great addition!
@@Nebo-Zemlya В первой части тот парень, чью запись нашли, был убит этой же "Сущностью", и труп этого же парня был найден в следующей части видео. Скорее всего, "Сущность" использовала его реплики после его убийства. Оно до убийства запомнило, и после, его предсмертные крики агонии (учитывая то, как долго оно кричало, когда гналась за учёным).
@@IFok1sh Не-а, он был схвачен тварью, но не убит. А труп был найден раньше , ещё до того как оператор туда провалился (по датам). Плюс в первой части говориться что оператора зовут Kane Pixels (написано в начале на доске), а найденный труп был на фотографии пропавших людей, и имя там другое было. + Смерть того человека которого нашли, произошла из-за недоедания, но бактерии сохранили ему тело. (Из информативного видео). Да и вообще откуда ты знаешь что сущности убивают людей? Почему ты думаешь что если какая то худая, долговязая хр**ь, бежит на человека с криками , то она его обязательно убьет? Монстр в этом видео говорил, а значит можно сделать предположение что это люди, которые обезумели, потеряли рассудок в следствие чего и потеряли человеческий облик (возможно это свойство закулисья, если человек забывает что он человек, то перестаёт им быть)
I think the most terrifying thing in this chase, is the feeling that hes not fast enough, it feels like hes running really slow like when you run from something in your dreams, and the suspense that hes gonna get caught..great work kane.
@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat Yeah but i said it FEELS like hes slow even though hes not. it FEELS like at any second the wire monster is gonna turn the corner and you just dont know that so it adds tension
@@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat I think he was more lucky than fast, the monster probably could've EASILY caught up to him, but made a wrong turn at some point (might have thought he went into one of the houses? Or maybe it stopped chasing once he was out of sight). The monster simply wasn't chasing him endlessly.
God when he said, “that’s not a person”, I felt his fear right then and there. The dialogue is so natural and I love it. The backroom series as a whole has been an incredible viewing experience. Great job good sir!
That reminded me of a video with a similar situation, so a guy walks in his home, see a humanoid thing in a dark room, says "Michael, is that you?", the creature looks at him and he is like "its not michael...."
I love how the creatures luring voice is obviously a cruel replication of a human voice. It cracks and sounds more animalistic at times, but it keeps saying it the same way over and over again based on what it's heard, it's like a parrot repeating a word, it's still a word but its not.. exact..
this one's a lot better at it than the one in the found footage the one in found footage sounds like a dog crossed with a chainsaw trying to say words, but this one perfectly imitates human voices
@@vermojonson8835 maybe through time, since this monster was noted as being a "bacteria", it could be possible that it's destroying itself through time, like decomposing
The fact he survives is unbelievably nice to see, you'd typically expect the people in these kinds of videos to die but the fact he gets chased and is tripping and falling over himself out of fear and he lives to tell the tale is so much scarier than him just dying and it makes the story so much more interesting.
I can only imagine the horror and confusing from the others as Marv describes what's happening and what he's seeing, and then for him to say "It's not a person!", must have terrified them.
The beginning scenes with the floor tape, the procedures, the group, everything felt so safe and secure but just outlandish enough to make everything that followed just plausible enough to be horrifying. Excellent work, can't find another backrooms artist with this level of skill
Not only that, it looks legit. Like, seriously, I can't tell if they got a model (at the start) to act like real fabric/people or Kane actually done it all by himself irl..
@@Janal_Hoe I suggest that the people who play are real actors and that kane just constructs the environment around them using animation but honest if you were to tell me that this was an entire set (or even worse that this was real tapes found) I would have believed it
@@xphantomgunx1912 well unfortunately imagination is the conjuring of memories or information that exists within the universe so it's quite possible this is very real
I love the environmental storytelling. The voices you hear calling for help, the discarded possessions and the randomly strewn about objects subtly indicate what horrifying things happened there before. The entity mimicking the voices of its victims was bone chilling.
Having an entity practically mimmic sounds of people who end up trapped in the Backrooms is just terrifying. Anyone who's down in there would immediately start asking for help or if anyone can hear them so to have the entity copy the screams and cries for help to lure in anyone is genius
This was absolutely terrifying. I'm so invested in this series, even more than shows that I'm watching. The whole time I was confident that it was an actual person, since these creatures hadn't used any words before. The "That's not a person" chilled me to my core. These videos are a masterclass in suspense!
"They're inverted? Wha - what do you m - mean by that?" "Mirrored. They're not... oriented properly." I love the portrayal of genuine confusion in trying to explain what is being seen. Fantastic work once again Kane.
The fact that marvin actually has fears, hesitation, a personality, it makes it great, it made me fear for him, it made me want him to survive, it made me want him to escape, it makes stakes.
Yeah but he was still pretty stupid for not staying put. I know exploring the place and documenting it is his job, but if I heard someone yelling in a labyrinthine hellscape where no person has business being, I would at least hesitate to go down any further by myself.
@@MCTogs remember they know that people could noclip into the backroom so marvin is probably think the sound is coming from the one who unlucky enough to noclip into the backroom
The fact that Marvin was talking to his team the entire time was unexpected. It also humanised him to the audience as well, it made me genuinely root for him.
can you imagine how scary it must have been for the other scientists hearing their lost partner scream "THATS NOT A FUCKING PERSON!", hearing their lost partner grunting and running, and also hearing the unholy screaming in the background of the radio.
Yeah. If I were one of the scientists up there, hearing all that soul-freezing terror through the radio, I would be really fighting the urge to run back to the gate and exit the Backrooms immediately. Only the fact that I had to stay and try to help the fallen colleague would prevent me from getting the hell out of there
@@osasunaitor Ngl if I were one of the scientists up there and I heard Marvin say "Wait... that's not a person--THAT'S NOT A F---ING PERSON!", I would've just immediately ditched and sprinted my ass back to the gate. Not that I wouldn't care about my buddy, but _no thanks, I choose _*_life._*
The amount of dread that Marvin saying “That’s not a person” brings is unbelievable. This video is a damn masterpiece. The atmosphere is terrifying and uncanny, the characters are realistic, and the monster is genuinely one of the most terrifying ones I’ve ever seen and heard. Those screams it makes are so chilling.
The locations discovered in this entry seriously make the stakes of Kane's backrooms higher. The guy found an artificial suburban area with a sky that could be an actual recreation of space with stars and such. It's like feeding hundreds of sections of our planet into an AI and watching it grotesquely spitting it all out into a discombobulated landscape, an infinite maze based on the real world. The Complex is so much more than just the monoyellow walls, and that's *terrifying.*
I do like how he's taking bits and pieces of the other backrooms canons and making it his own. That suburb is a dead ringer for level 9 in terms of the aesthetics, but the entrance conditions, "entities" and the overall function of the level are totally different, and make sense in the context of the Kane canon.
Most structures in the Backrooms are very primitive. I could assume those “stars” are actually just some detached white orbs hanging in the sky a few miles up.
I'm thinking it would be like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, where the sky looks decently real if you aren't paying close attention, but if you examine it closely you'd realize the parallax is all wrong, and then you see a poorly disguised sky-colored ceiling vent tucked in between a few stars.
The fact that the other scientists abandon their exploration mission to focus on saving their friend is actually a really nice detail. Not the usual action in these situations so I’m impressed
Actually me and many people think that they not only tried to save their friend but also they were interested in seeing what was in the camera that he recorded.
@@royalchamp3369 yeah it feels like at least one wanted to get the found footage back. Heck for all we know the camera we see in the first video he did could've been found by Async and played back in a dark room if the newest video Report has anything to prove
If I were in the backrooms, I would definitely sit there waiting for my team to save me. But I think there's a strange aura in the backrooms that pushes you to explore. No one can be that brave.
I don't think its a strange aura in the backrooms at all. In Kane's video here, it shows that there is an entity pretending to be a human and it makes the researcher, the main character or whatever you'd wanna call him in this video investigate this of some sort human-like thing in another place of the backrooms and try to help whoever that person is as they are being lured by calls of help that seem abnormal compared to a normal human, especially in a place that is called the backrooms. Unfortunately; however, the researcher in the video soon finds out that it wasn't actually human, but something far worse than a human. Also, I don't think there isn't any kind of "aura" in the backrooms at all (unless if I have misinterpreted your message), it is just a specific team of researchers trying to figure out what the hell the backrooms is in general. Although, at the same time, I am really uncertain whether that is actually the case or not knowing from the previous videos Kane made in the backrooms.
@@ar21end85 I’d say it was just the atmosphere alone. I’d love to see him make a video in the actual suburbs level but I assume he wouldn’t since this is kind of his own storyline
The dialogue is hugely appreciated. So much ambient, natural conversation. And realistic reactions from the POV character! This series is a big breath of fresh air compared to so much horror series on youtube, and easily the best series since local58
I feel like a lot of horror suffers from cinima writing. In movies everyone is always talking clearly and perfectly. But having the mic peaking and heavy breathing, with the kind of dialogue a normal person would say in the situation. It makes it just that much better. Humand cough, get out of breath, stutter their words. You are freaked out about what a monster you thought was a person, and rather than standing there clarifying what you saw, you run as fast as you can. No one in real life would stay long enough to get a nice cinematic shot of the monster, they would run at the faintest glimpse that something is wrong.
@@giannilyanicks1718 People don't say things for the sake of being dramatic. Monsters/supernatural stuff/the backrooms don't exist, yeah. But we know how people talk, we know how people react to shocking things. Realistic doesn't mean "possible to occur in our world" it means it fits with how you'd imagine people would act in such a situation, if it were really occurring. Its about suspension of disbelief, which is one of the hardest hurdles Horror fiction has to cross. I don't think a lot of RUclips stuff I've seen manages to cross that hurdle. It's worthy of praise when it happens. People don't just like things for no reason, and then praise them "because they like it." Liking something is not a bias.
It's the little things that can come out great. Like, when the monster suddenly began moving. We have no idea what it looks like, yet the slightest movement is making us shit our pants.
Yo.. why not make a co-op game based on the backrooms? Kinda like Left 4 Dead, where you have to go through levels with multiple people and survive, get to checkpoints or "nullzones" etc..
God when he said, “That’s not a person,” I felt his fear right there and then. The dialogue is so natural, and I love it! The Backrooms series as a whole has been an incredible viewing experience. Great job good sir!
“That’s not a person…. That is not a fucking person!!” The realization Marvin has is so chilling, you can absolutely hear the fear in his voice. The voice actors are amazing!
I love how everything is so unexpected and original, it's not like most stories that have a story line of monster chasing someone. The camera holder is actually lucky, he came with others, therefore he managed to get out with help from his friends and escape whatever was chasing him, it feels real and not like a planned out story.
I don’t know man. There just something about Kane’s whole view and perspective on the back rooms that keeps me emerged in this whole series. He is able to create and express new ways that intrigue me even more. I’m really loving his perception of the Backrooms
I think *immersed is the correct word in this context. But I totally agree. Kane's videos have me hooked, too. The world building and suspense are top notch. I look forward to every new installment.
Love the little character-building at 5:06, the supervisor asks "What do you see?" while the cameraman simultaneously asks "Everything okay?" revealing what each person prioritizes when faced with a split-second potentially-dangerous decision.
OR, maybe asking what they see could be a way for everyone to understand the next best course of action. To be logical. Just like in 911 calls. You always have to prioritize the details that will help everyone to survive. I know I'm reading too much into your comment but I just want to put my two cents anyway, in hopes that we could avoid misunderstanding a person's intentions because of a sentence.
**Stanley Parable music starts playing.** "Marvin was correct, it was indeed not a person at all. Marvin ran, and fell over like an idiot, and then got up and ran again."
The two times the “creature” calls out “ohhhh.. can anybody hear us!?” its the exact same recording, which should be enough to tell this cameraman dude that something is up. Its like the creature records its previous victims screams and cries in an effort to bring people closer to help. That recording of that guy is absolutely terrifying the whole way through
I noticed that too, that it was the same recording. Reminded me a lot of the "alternates" from the Mandela Catalog series. I think Kane got a bit of inspiration from that as well. Such awesome stuff.
What makes the monster’s recorded screams even more disturbing is that the screams it made when it was chasing the cameraman isn’t a running away scared kinda yell, but an agonizing scream. This implies it’s victims were given long and painful deaths so it could try to use it for future targets
It's a demonic entity in a legit hxll, it is only meant to sound agonizing for the fear factor and creepiness but it's not actually in pain, again it is a demonic entity so there is just darkness inside it and these sounds are just sounds, they have no reasons to happen or anything.
The most chilling part of this is the bacteria's ability to mimic the sounds of people who've ventured in the Backrooms, often mimicking those it heard in the most agonizing pain possible. It most definitely learned those sounds through the victims it violently ripped apart.
@@Uniformtree000 On Kane's Ko-Fi page, he called the monster from Found Footage "Bacteria". And from a few of the recent videos, there's emphasis on fungus or mold. So the current and ongoing theory is that Bacteria are mutated people that have been warped by the bacteria or fungus in the Backrooms.
you know something that i love about the ending chase is that, intentional or not the speed of which the guy is running feels slowed down, kinda how when you are trying to run from something in a dream, it's just slowed and you feel as though you will never reach the destination. truly great video
You mentioned speed .... and I have to remember how that thing from the first Video. It has to be something similar or the same as the thing that pushed Kane's camera out of the Backrooms. So if that thing can give chase to a sprinting teenager in civilian clothing Why could it not chase this operator? Maybe being one level lower than level 0 does something to the being.
The moment he entered the room with the "inverted turn signs" really set off all my alarms. The walls especially were straight out of one of my dreams. And when something lines up with a dream I've had, I stay as far away from it as possible.
@Thomas I used to do that as well. I had sleeping problems as a kid so every time I dreamt of walking into a church I would stop breathing in real life lol. I’ve never had gone to church but my body must’ve made a weird association.
The entity is standing perfectly still during the zoom. It only started running after he said "That's not a person." The entity heard him from that distance and understood he wouldn't get any closer.
@Decker Yep. And hearing beyond what is known in nature. For all we know, it heard the scientist since it fell down. Which would explain why it only started screaming then.
I think the entity took shape from the camera with motion detection and can get sound from far away, I mean it basicaly see and hear like the async cameras they used in motion detected
My favorite cause video yet because it’s explores the entity. How at first, it was mimicking a human in distress, too the glitchy-looking vibe to the neighborhood level of the back room. Straight Horror-Gold
The only hole in the room is the one he fell through, so each and every pitfall potentially goes to a completely different location of the Backrooms.. I hope we get to see more
This is actually the ‘Second Threshold’ leading into the circuitry room, where the scientists observe activity in the aback Rooms, FYI it’s actually called’ the Complex’, as stated in the Instructional Video.
@@GG-lk4xf Bruh I'm turning 18 this month and all I do is ASMR like content and I do voice acting. This kid is 16 and is creating a series better than anything a Hollywood studio ever would.
@@EmmaPaigeJones possible but having the character do it for that reason is problematic for my reason. Either way, someone coughs in these videos and I get nervous
It only makes sense that anything that "lives" in the backrooms would have as incomplete a notion about life as the backrooms would have about space. Be wary. The things you encounter "living" there may simply not know how to die.
When he is running away from the creature it really gives me the sensation of trying to do something simple like run in a dream, and not being able to for some reason. Really well done, absolutely terrifying
It's chilling how "They" lure in the lone wolf member to that place, only to laugh disturbingly as he turns the corner to meet "Them", mumble incoherent ramblings at him, then beckon him over as he realizes "They" are not human. All before letting out the sickening anguished cries of the damned and begin lumbering towards their next potential victim. I fear no man... But that... Thing... It scares me. WHAT ARE THEY?
Everytime I watch these videos, even if I rewatch them, my body immediately triggers a fight or flight response and urges me to move and I have to actively suppress it, otherwise I'd try to escape.
I haven’t actually shouted out loud “hurry! Fucking hurry” at something on a screen out of pure anxiety in years! Absolute childlike dread. This was insanely good, made my horror desensitised heart beat a little faster. Bravo.
ikr. Horror has always been my favorite genre and I can watch pretty much any mainstream horror flick without breaking a sweat. But anything Backrooms related, especially by Kane, makes my heart race. It's such a mind-bogglingly terrifying concept and I love it.
I wanted for the person with camera to get to that horisontal hole in the tunnel as soon as possible, thinking, that the creature won't follow them there, since the creature is too tall. The amount of empathy that these videos are triggering - is immersful!
@@Z0mbieAnt Likely the latter; he was injured in the fall, and expended a ton of energy fleeing the monster. I don't think they hire military for these jobs (THOUGH THEY REALLY SHOULD), so I doubt the poor guy has enough stamina to climb back up God-knows-how-far, nor would the team risk getting pulled in themselves to hoist him up. In a situation like this, they would value the data above a single life. The terrifying thing about this series is that its pretty clear there is no escape if you get dragged here unwillingly, or go/fall into the wrong spots. And even if you DO escape... well, many of us saw the first video.
It’s like the neighborhood is the creature’s best shot at imitating what a real street that we’re familiar with looks like, but it can’t get it quite right. Just produces a hazy sort of movie set. And then once he enters the house It’s like, the entity doesn’t know what’s actually in human homes, so it just fills it with street signs. Giving its best shot at making marvin feel familiar enough to proceed
This is probably Kane's most real backroom video yet. Something I noticed is that Marvin actually had to take a second looking at the monster before running away. Even when it started moving he was still trying to figure out what it was. It's way more human than the usual "see monster, run from monster" shtick that most other backroom creators pull.
The length of the chase scene was brilliant as well. Even though we saw him run all the way back. There was enough tension and weirdness, that we didn't know if he would make it out.
I think any logical person who has been recruited to investigate these backrooms would have a similar reaction. That is, the delayed reaction where it begins with a curiosity, then a panicked assessment and then the lizard brain takes over and gets him the hell out of there. Absolutely amazing storytelling from Kane. I'm so excited for more.
The fact that Marvin managed to get out of there was astonishing, so satisfying when the camera man survives.. the episode at least since we didn't actually see him reunite with rest of the team, and he was coughing too. Might be it.
"That's not a person. That's not a FUCKING PERSON!" I love the shift in tone. It absolutely captures the confusion, to the suspense, to the shock, and finally to the horror, all in one. This was no jumpscare. This was a PROLONGED scare.
I was really creeped out when I saw the first video but now I am completely invested, and I am not a huge horror guy. Kane is doing a fantastic job. Also, nice pfp
If Kane's writing all of these videos as well as making them, I'm truly astounded by how well he, as a 16-year old, understands great horror. The way these videos create an ever-present, imposing, and building feeling of dread instead of relying on jumpscares like most horror movies do nowadays is masterful.
This is the episode where I think many of us realized that something very special was happening here, that Kane had closed the loop and we now had a complete world, backstory, imagery set, and narrative flow.
“THAT IS NOT A F*CKING PERSON” Never has a line in any horror production been so real as that one. I really enjoy how we never saw him getting chased, he ran and never looked back. The fact that he never gets killed just builds the suspense and I felt like I was watching through my fingers like a toddler. Incredible stuff
The voice acting is spot on. The way the employee filming says “that’s not a person. That’s not a FUCKING PERSON.” the chills that have me. The ungodly noises of that creature, this may be better than the first video. Props to you man. You’re a gifted individual who uses their talent for good content, and honestly, we’ve been needing that for a while. Much love to your work.
The authentic vhs look, animation, scene composition, and especially sound effects bring this together so well its crazy. One of the most terrifying but amazing things I have ever seen on youtube
This was the scariest video up to now for me. I don’t know why I just got the chills from watching it. I’m at 11:55 and I’m actually too scared to continue the video. This has never happened to me before
I only just finished it. Have had it sitting in my tabs for so long I forgot about it until I accidently clicked on it again. Decided to buckle down and stick with it because I can tell there are a bunch of new videos backlogged now haha.
That was terrifying and stressful, and-- utterly genius of an animation. Can't believe how well these are made. Its like a tv show, lol. Can't wait to see more!
Yeah it's pretty good. I'm just curious if atleast the humans are actual actors and not animator. If the humans are animated too then i don't know what's real anymore
When a 16 year old can produce better horror than the entire production team of Hollywood, keep it up this is amazing and genuinely scary, the fear of the unknown is terrifying
I'm glad this series is avoiding "oh, but the scary monster got him, and the footage it cut out!!" blank spots and actually showing more and more about what's fascinating with this impossible dimension concept through continuous shots. Lots of 'creepypasta' media relies too heavily on jumpcuts where you don't get to see more of the world because the nondescript threat is the only thing the creator wants you to care about. Good stuff, I love the worldbuilding going into different architecture too.
11:31 It's very interesting that you can hear MGMT's kids playing, a song that released 17 years after the date of the video. This got me wondering how time works on the backrooms.
Honestly the environment looks extremely real. It's extremely difficult to imagine it being made in a program. I literally thought these guys managed to buy a warehouse and build all of this. Well done is a massive understatement. 100/10.
I think its combination because those cloth simulation of those shirt and suit at the beginning... even to this day it is time and power intensive to make But inside the backroom its pretty much alot of it is computer generated.. could be seen by janky movement by the guy thats going to the door at the pitfall and somehow the friction physics and the movement is weird
This is still one of the best entries, hands down. It takes its time, shows absolutely nothing, and “That’s not a person” line before the moaning is absolutely terrifying… perfect use of uncanny architecture, soundscape, and scenario. I love the entire series, but I think this is the epitome of The Backroom’s Uncanny Valley. Love it!
And if you listen closely, the "Hello, is anybody here?! Can you hear me?" is as if someone took a recording of it and put it on loop. If you notice it early on, then you know the guy is heading toward trouble before anyone starts getting nervous. Seems this creature has some mimic abilities
It showed the "creature" at the end of the hall, flapping its arms. That was enough to be terrifying. heh But then I'm watching it on a very big screen, so it was easy to see.
The moment you realize that whatever the creature was, it knew how to imitate us well enough to hunt us is fucking terrifying. I caught it the second time it asked “can anyone hear me” sounded too similar to the first one, very sus. Like just parroting. Spine-tingling. My mind can’t help but wonder 1. Where/ what the hell the neighborhood was. Was he really outside ? 2. What the hell was the creature ? 3. Where did the other hallways outside the hole lead ? 4. Are there different rooms down each pitfall? 5. Where do the hallways lead in the room with greenish wallpaper ? What an awesome series, I was checking everyday since the last upload for new content and this just blows me away.
@@jcfinnhe2820 Kane Pixel’s Backrooms are to be completely separate from the Backrooms Wiki. Whatever is in the Wiki wont be in the same alignment with Kane’s version.
Well I can answer a few questions from my “probably correct” theories, but a lot is speculation 1: neighborhood is just another part of the back rooms, if the back rooms are infinite there would be everything in existence down there 2: fuck if I know 3: probably just more randomly generated terrain, halls, and objects 4: as seek that the room only had one pitfall lead to it I would guess yes And finally 5: Everywhere, nowhere, and everything in between
This one was absolutely incredible. Honestly, seeing him come back to his starting point and realize he may not be rescued in time is just the definition of tension.
I don't care about any other Backrooms content. THIS is the real backrooms. The Howler entity luring its victim, mimicking the voices of someone it probably killed. Oh my god dude, oh my god
The backrooms looks like it's made from the elements of our world, but assembled by an entity who doesn't actually understand our world. The setting is based on uncanny mimicry, so it makes perfect sense for the monsters to have that ability too
To me it feels like the universe we live in is just a simulation and the backrooms are like loading zones or junk data caches. Kinda like those glitch levels in Mario Bros where you go too far past the levels boundary and enter the games ram space where its a disjointed combination of assets with no meaningful order. Maybe the entities are like missingno from the pokemon games, error handlers designed to deal with those who find themselves in areas they arent supposed to know about.
What's interesting is ASYNC doesn't appear to be a stock evil science corporation. Unlike the Umbrella Corporation, Weyland Yutani, or Omni Consumer Products that in the same situation would either leave Marv to his fate or go out of their way to secure his camera but not him, it seems like the team is genuinely concerned about recovering Marv alive for Marv's sake.
Umbrella technically is a 50/50 some members of the U.B.C.S and the U.S.S were concerned about the wellbeing of their comrades (with the exception of Nikolai and HUNK)
Corporations are always gray sided, maybe Async has something dark goin on, we don't know but these people are probably just scientist helping their coworker.
Yeah, just remember slogan of ASync: *"Compromise is the DEATH of innovacy"* . So in this point, i really doubt they really save him, but in fact they let him die in there, then took his corpse along with the camera
The building up for the "that's not a person" moment holy shit this is so good... The anxiety to see him trying to escape and successfully surviving after seeing that, this is all too amazing
I think the final scene is to show that Marvin died because we hear the monster being close to him and him breathing heavily. He fell down a huge tunnel and during the chase scene he fell again signifying his lack of energy
@@BlisQuest Well not exactly. We see him climb the short part of the tether, but Marvin pans the camera towards where the monster is coming from, then pans it up to the long part of the tether. I think Marvin was contemplating if he had enough energy in him to climb the tether before the monster reaches him. I think he simply took the tape from his camera and tied it to the tether, which could explain how we're seeing this
@@devaughnt8096 that’s very dumb. He would be very fearful and not just panting. He seemed fairly calm after being chased and almost gobbled up by a camera stand.
@@dallas9397 Who said he isn't fearful. It's not a weird thing to start panting in a situation like this. He has simply accepted that he isn't making it out, and why does him being close to the camera matter
This is my favorite video for one main reason, around 9 minutes he starts wandering around “outside “ and this is so slept on and barely discussed in the lore. Look at the sky; see how weird the sky is, the stars look off, the color, the trees, all the house look so “loaded in”, like what’s going on in those buildings, what is going on in the sky or if you shot a probe rocket straight up into space, what would be up there? Creeeeepy
Finally a good ending. Getting to know these characters from their POV and them not dying for once after building a connection is refreshing. Props to Kane for the amazing narrative skills👍👍👍
to be fair though, with these episodes we never know if the person were following lives (assuming we are following one) and i find it creates extra suspense. unlike a lot of modern/hollywood horror stuff you pretty much always know that the protag is gonna figure out a way to survive and yay they live happy ending. here, its up for grabs, no gurantees. no reminder that they will live, 'cause its not a given. and thats what i love about this
@@Kebabian he's got the spores and is gonna infect his colleges. He's not the only one with em, the scientist who did the biopsy also mightve caught the disease.
I can’t describe how much I love that the team of explorers actually seems to care about each other in a casual way, unlike most horror stereotypes where they’re always bickering or one of them is overly obsessed with fulfilling their objective and will just abandon all their friends. I feel it adds a layer of realism how they value each other’s lives (or more likely, they don’t want to see someone die) over their mission, but also in a way that makes them feel like coworkers. It’s a small detail that often gets overlooked. Not all horror movies require a group of people that don’t act like people.
horror movie is like: you go first * dies * discovers one of the friends is a murderer psychopath * everyone dies * * police arrives * *dies too * and then there is some unoriginal ending
Honestly this is so true. The fact that they show concern for each other actually humanizes them so well. Not only does it give them emotions but it also begs the idea that if these people care for our victim, maybe we should too.
@@Jurarigo I think from other videos the creatures are people that die or otherwise transform in the backrooms, so maybe its speaking with remnants of its human part. Someone lost in the backrooms would be crying for help.
I think this is one of my favorites of Kane's backrooms short movies. It tells you, unequivocally, how strange, unpredictable, and terrifying the backrooms can be. ⚠
Kane is a superhuman. These animations are way too good and high quality. This man makes amazing videos that honestly feel like it was just a real person behind the camera. Kane gives the perfect ominous feelings in his backrooms videos.
I cannot describe the level of fear, horror, and shit pant I felt when he just f*cking falls down in that long hallway just moments after it began sprinting at him. It transcends horror and words itself
@@joe-lq6jz if you pay attention you see that there was actually a stair where he tripped, so it makes sense that it the midst of sheer panic he forgets that there was a step and trips.
I love how smart these characters are, they don’t leave anyone behind, and the fact they used whatever they had in order to get the rope to him is great, series where people actually use their brains always amazes me
The only thing that took me out of it is that first researcher who went across the hole room not simply telling them what he sees. This is my least favorite trope in anything, driving the plot forward by not saying a simple thing that any rational human would. Just say what you fucking saw when you went through the door asshole! Same goes for Marvin not constantly telling his peers what he is seeing.
Literally sitting here saying, "Kane... I hate this." I was so uncomfortable the whole time. I love your work man. You have a serious talent for ambience.
This was breathtaking. The most realistic one yet, the humans out of their suits probably helped. Also for those saying that that was a different creature than the bacteria… no. There’s too many similarities, and this takes place only a year before the original Found Footage, so it might have changed a bit. We have learned though, that the creature CAN copy the noises of its victims, and it also wasn’t really moving around until the cameraman made a subtle movement and loud noise, further adding to the theory that a bacteria could be possessing the cameras. All in all amazing episode, I have so many more theories! Amazing that this felt almost like a short film, would love to see more long videos as they’re well worth the wait time!
I also really like the idea that the bacteria are the tripods who mutated by being in contact for too long with the fungus! The similarities are uncanny, especially when we see the bacteria near the end of the Found Footage video, it looks just like a tripod moving around :p
Seems to me theres 2 people asking for help, it says can you hear us? Theres 2 chairs and 2 cardboard beds. I think it was the lost kid and employee that merged with the tripod camera and be saved the kid but now they are stuck. Maybe time travel is involved as well
Yes but I think it is possible that there are multiple of the bacteria creatures, so it could technically be different, also they don’t sound the same. Also, the found footage took place in 1996, and this is in 1990, so they are 6 years apart, not 1.
The creatures or S-38s [I call em that] have different types level one has S-38-1 while for this level the S-38 is kinda dangerous because it can mimic things meaning this is a S-38-4 anything higher than 3 is dangerous if there's already a creature with the same danger level like S-38-6 you can add another number to it after the danger level like this S-38-6-1there are more S creatures than you think we are only seeing the first type of creatures thank you for your time.
@@larosadeazul well yea these creatures are hay bacillus a mutated one so yea they could had merged into one and by killing the monster the human[s] in that monster will be free and can be normal again it's because of the mutated hay bacillus.
I have always loved the back rooms and all liminal spaces, but find that most interpretations are weighed down by uninspired lore that tries to turn a ‘feeling’ into a narrative when it doesn’t need to. This, on the other hand, is, well, PERFECT. I photograph and edit liminal spaces, and this felt like being inside one of my own photos. Absolutely insane, I haven’t felt such strong emotions from someone’s work in a long time. Keep it up, what you’re doing here is something special! P.S. I have always loved the ‘poolrooms’ style areas that some have made renders of, and it would be absolutely awesome to see your take on them! If you haven’t seen Jared Pike, he made a great animation of that area!
Agreed. I think MatPat was at least partially correct when he theorized that the "monster" is actually a mutant strain of bacteria that is indeed slowly learning to become more human-like. In fact, it actually seems to gradually become more and more human each time it encounters a human prey. In the *"Motion Detected"* video, we catch a glimpse of the creature in its more "raw" form; we don't see all of it, obviously, but we can see that it had thin tendrils and almost appeared to float. This makes sense, because the "Motion Detected" video takes place in *3/5/1990* (and bacteria are light af, so being able to float is believable). This video here takes place in *5/6/1990; only a couple months later.* By this time, the bacteria monster has grown a _SLIGHTLY_ more human look, though it clearly looks more like a kid's line scribble drawing than a true person (12:32). Still, it could actually make sounds that _can_ pass for human (Marvin is only lured there because the thing made a sound similar to someone yelling). Even when it's chasing Marvin, the bacteria monster's "roar" still sounds more like a person groaning in pain. Finally, we get to the *"Found Footage"* video, which takes place a bit later (the video description says 1996, but the beginning of the video itself says 1991, so it's kinda weird) after the events of this video. By then, the monster has seemingly become more robust and humanoid. Clearly, its appearance still can't fully pass for a human because it still looks stringy and robot-like, but the closeup Kane gets of it near the end of that video shows that its string-like arms and legs are thicker and less like a kid's line drawing, which means that it's getting stronger. Also, it seems the monster is becoming more ruthless over time, because it lost Marvin when chasing him through the liminal town in this video... but later in time, when it chases Kane, it keeps pursuing him relentlessly until it catches him (and the chase there was way longer than it was here). All of this means that the monster _ISN'T JUST_ imitating us, but it's also actually _evolving and _*_transforming_*_ over time_ with each encounter it has with a human, so each person who encounters the monster will have a harder time escaping it than the person who last encountered it before them. _THAT_ is terrifying.
@@mrreyes5004 Imagine if it eventually is able to perfectly imitate a human, appearance and all, then escapes with a team to the outside world by pretending to be one of them.
I got a feeling that by the way it looks, it's the voice of the last victim that fell to it and constantly repeat the 'call for help' of said victim, to lure new ones in.
I love how detailed and... professional this is. These people have a method to mapping out this labyrinth, and they're even installing mechanisms to traverse and document it all. The green tape leading through already explore it, and there's even a whole lab or something installed on the other side of the Threshold. And yet, these people are still very much confronted with something so unknown, arranging all these familiar things into unfamiliar scenery. The dialogue is so well done, them having this process of trying to describe the space they're in for the record and further mapping, making out any details they can see. And then the Entity - it actually producing cries like human speech is so haunting. Some shouts repeat themselves, too - is it actually communicating, or was it a lure? It's voice getting distorted into unholy screams as it gave chase... and the "room" it had made for itself. A backpack, some shoes, and it had even collected some objects, having a preference for numbers. Assuming it came from a human body - how much of that person is still left in there? The ones we saw before sounded much less human in their cries, weird howls and distorted sounds. Damn, guy. You're doing so much with all these details here. I know you've heard it a million times, but you're a master at this. Cannot wait to see whatever you'll end up doing next!
To save you from rewinding over and over, here is the message at 5:42 When flipped, the first flash of text reads: "While data could be inferred from these readings, Nobody knew what would actually be found on the other side" The second flash of text reads: "While data could be inferred from these readings, Nobody knew" (cuts off) I'd like to point out Kane Pixels pays careful attention to detail, and the 'N' in 'Nobody' is capitalized after a comma which is unnecessary, and to me implies perhaps it is treating "Nobody" as an entity of sorts. Could be a typo, or something more. Either way, you're welcome!
Also at 11:21 the camera turns gray and starts growing black dots in some areas. Is this the bacteria that infected the backrooms? 11:31 Music right when he is about to enter a new area? ruclips.net/video/ZIFhglHn3W0/видео.html Same room at 1:38 .

I gotta say, the scene where he was being chased while it making ungodly noises was one of the most suspenseful and terrifying things animated so far. The buildup to that was really well done. Felt like I was the one being chased instead.

I love how that the team's primary goal is keeping everyone alive. Some other classified classified series might of had them leave him for dead but this team was working best they could to get the guy back alive.
Mayhaps they simply haven’t reached that state yet.
Probably cuz his camera holds interesting footage that Async probably wanted
@@9a_23_tyrantqiu7 from the looks of things Async doesnt seem to be this evil mega corp, more like just an ordinary company with ordinary people working there
@@CountCalcium yea, just because async wanted the footage doesn't mean they're evil. They're curious abt what marvin found and i doubt they will leave marvin alone if he didnt find anything anyway.
@@9a_23_tyrantqiu7 Well it also goes into the fact that would you go into a hostile zone with a team of people who are more likely to just leave you behind than save you? Of course the company might have ulterior motives, and the team knows they need the footage, but they also want to save him because they would want the same done for them.
I love how the camera man here actually survives. And between the clean animation skills and the 90's camera quality allowing any small animation mistake to be unrecognizable, and overall the product comes out extremely high quality and realistic even.
i mean, we're assuming he does. it doesn't show him being pulled up, but granted, nothing else happened either
He doesn’t survive for long, he was coughing.
He will fall by the fate of the fungi.
@@lastman3630 Sometimes after going running I cough because I end up choking on my own saliva a bit, so he might not actually be dying to the fungus (if he's lucky). seems to be the implication here though, sad cause he actually made it away from the creature from what's shown.
@@lastman3630 You're acting like the only context in which someone can cough in this series is being infected. Nothing happened in this video where he could've caught it, and he also, y'know, just finished running from a messed up creature that nobody knew existed for multiple minutes while wearing a heavy suit, holding a camera, and definitely had an adrenaline rush. I wouldn't call it a stretch to say that would make him be coughing and breathing heavily right after the fact.
This series for sure wouldn't have the same impact if it wasn't made to be mimicking Analog/Found Footage horror, it's the fact it looks so real that it can actually pull you in.
the screams from that monster are seriously something else. i hope this quality of sound design carries over to the movie you are directing. gives chills.

@@Chopper153 we will get more episodes just not that frequent
The entity simply records the help pleads and death screams of its victims, and uses it as a bait so that the delvers mistake it for a person and get into a situation where they are vulnerable.
The voice acting is top notch. It sounds exactly how anyone would sound in a situation like this. When he said “That’s not a fucking person!!” and “Im here! Im here! Send it down!”, you could hear the terror and panic in his voice. Amazing work 👍🏼

This is really turning into a tv show at this point. There's characters, side plots, main plots, cliff hangers, hooks, relatability, horror, and so much that an actual tv show has. This is top tier
I'd honestly follow a series about this team and their various exploits in and outside of the backrooms, it would be interesting to see how they dealt with all the weird stuff they encountered and not being able to talk to anyone but their co-workers about it.
As a proof of concept, this could definitely be turned into the groundwork for a feature film.

@@kurtkyre unless it becomes another slender man movie
it truly is.
The delivery of the "That is not a person..... THAT IS NOT A FUCKING PERSON" lines are soo good. At first he sounds confused and more like he is thinking out loud. But in the second one he realizes he is right and realizes the fact that that is not a person but some kind of monster and we can hear that fear and realization in his voice.
Also I love how after he climbed up a bit he finally felt safe and realized how tired and in pain he was and had a breakdown just crying and gasping on the ground.
This deserves more comments❤
yes it does@@linnin77
Yeah
Or he said it casually first because he simply didn't see it as a threat and thought he was hiding enough, and after it was running at him he simply started panicking
I Love Threats or Enemies That are in Random Weird Species. I Love Scary Dangerous Things That Aren't Human. Scary Creatures are Better
I love the fact that he was able to talk to the rest of his team the entire time and he wasn't completely alone. It's entertaining watching someone freak the fuck out from something and everyone else panicking because they don't know what's happening.
Honestly, the fact they were talking in the background helps you stick with it. It pulls you into a false sense of security so the bigger scare can pay off. It's like how in Amnesia the Dark Descent, the devs deliberately give you safe areas with ambience to calm your nerves so they heighten the scares back up again when it's time to leave that safety.
Not to mention, I personally just enjoy hearing idle radio chatter, so personally it had me intrigued. But also it adds a whole new dynamic to the encounter. How is the guy going to react to being able to talk to other people? How are they going to react to him? Will they be of help?
All of this to say, yes, the radio chatter was a great addition!

I love the environmental storytelling. The voices you hear calling for help, the discarded possessions and the randomly strewn about objects subtly indicate what horrifying things happened there before. The entity mimicking the voices of its victims was bone chilling.

@@osasunaitor Ngl if I were one of the scientists up there and I heard Marvin say "Wait... that's not a person--THAT'S NOT A F---ING PERSON!", I would've just immediately ditched and sprinted my ass back to the gate. Not that I wouldn't care about my buddy, but _no thanks, I choose _*_life._*
The amount of dread that Marvin saying “That’s not a person” brings is unbelievable. This video is a damn masterpiece. The atmosphere is terrifying and uncanny, the characters are realistic, and the monster is genuinely one of the most terrifying ones I’ve ever seen and heard. Those screams it makes are so chilling.
The locations discovered in this entry seriously make the stakes of Kane's backrooms higher. The guy found an artificial suburban area with a sky that could be an actual recreation of space with stars and such. It's like feeding hundreds of sections of our planet into an AI and watching it grotesquely spitting it all out into a discombobulated landscape, an infinite maze based on the real world. The Complex is so much more than just the monoyellow walls, and that's *terrifying.*
That’s actually insane to think that the back rooms would create a distorted version of space just for a sky to copy, terrifying at best.
I do like how he's taking bits and pieces of the other backrooms canons and making it his own. That suburb is a dead ringer for level 9 in terms of the aesthetics, but the entrance conditions, "entities" and the overall function of the level are totally different, and make sense in the context of the Kane canon.
Most structures in the Backrooms are very primitive. I could assume those “stars” are actually just some detached white orbs hanging in the sky a few miles up.
I'm thinking it would be like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland, where the sky looks decently real if you aren't paying close attention, but if you examine it closely you'd realize the parallax is all wrong, and then you see a poorly disguised sky-colored ceiling vent tucked in between a few stars.
Discombobulate
The voice actors are great, the moment the guy said “that’s not a person” sent chills down my spine

_That's not a person_
Such a simple line, yet the goosepumps and shivers it gave me was on a whole other level
If I were in the backrooms, I would definitely sit there waiting for my team to save me. But I think there's a strange aura in the backrooms that pushes you to explore. No one can be that brave.
I think these people already have a desire and willingness to explore, otherwise they wouldn't be researching there.
At the same time I’m not sure this “research team” has seen anything to make them scared of the back rooms until now
I don't think its a strange aura in the backrooms at all. In Kane's video here, it shows that there is an entity pretending to be a human and it makes the researcher, the main character or whatever you'd wanna call him in this video investigate this of some sort human-like thing in another place of the backrooms and try to help whoever that person is as they are being lured by calls of help that seem abnormal compared to a normal human, especially in a place that is called the backrooms. Unfortunately; however, the researcher in the video soon finds out that it wasn't actually human, but something far worse than a human.
Also, I don't think there isn't any kind of "aura" in the backrooms at all (unless if I have misinterpreted your message), it is just a specific team of researchers trying to figure out what the hell the backrooms is in general. Although, at the same time, I am really uncertain whether that is actually the case or not knowing from the previous videos Kane made in the backrooms.
The guy in the backrooms found footage video was just some random dude rigj
They were not aware of the bacterias, so it was safe to explore
Another perfectly executed video I really love the scenes taken outside, very nostalgic in a way and I’d love to see you incorporate it more :)

@@ar21end85 I’d say it was just the atmosphere alone. I’d love to see him make a video in the actual suburbs level but I assume he wouldn’t since this is kind of his own storyline
The dialogue is hugely appreciated. So much ambient, natural conversation. And realistic reactions from the POV character! This series is a big breath of fresh air compared to so much horror series on youtube, and easily the best series since local58
I feel like a lot of horror suffers from cinima writing. In movies everyone is always talking clearly and perfectly. But having the mic peaking and heavy breathing, with the kind of dialogue a normal person would say in the situation. It makes it just that much better.
Humand cough, get out of breath, stutter their words. You are freaked out about what a monster you thought was a person, and rather than standing there clarifying what you saw, you run as fast as you can. No one in real life would stay long enough to get a nice cinematic shot of the monster, they would run at the faintest glimpse that something is wrong.
FACTS EXACTLY
Honestly, while the acting wasn't bad, it wasn't too great and seems to take away from it a bit
you can't really know if he would make realistic reactions or not , it's still fiction. you just praise his videos like that
@@giannilyanicks1718 People don't say things for the sake of being dramatic. Monsters/supernatural stuff/the backrooms don't exist, yeah. But we know how people talk, we know how people react to shocking things. Realistic doesn't mean "possible to occur in our world" it means it fits with how you'd imagine people would act in such a situation, if it were really occurring. Its about suspension of disbelief, which is one of the hardest hurdles Horror fiction has to cross. I don't think a lot of RUclips stuff I've seen manages to cross that hurdle. It's worthy of praise when it happens.
People don't just like things for no reason, and then praise them "because they like it." Liking something is not a bias.
I still come back to this one. It isn't just my favorite in the series, it's my favorite RUclips horror video, period.
Same
The way Kane can make my spine tingle is special. There's no jumpscares. He shows the monster, and the buildup pays off.
@Check my about page link shush bot
It's the little things that can come out great. Like, when the monster suddenly began moving. We have no idea what it looks like, yet the slightest movement is making us shit our pants.
Yo.. why not make a co-op game based on the backrooms? Kinda like Left 4 Dead, where you have to go through levels with multiple people and survive, get to checkpoints or "nullzones" etc..

“That’s not a person…. That is not a fucking person!!” The realization Marvin has is so chilling, you can absolutely hear the fear in his voice. The voice actors are amazing!
I love how everything is so unexpected and original, it's not like most stories that have a story line of monster chasing someone. The camera holder is actually lucky, he came with others, therefore he managed to get out with help from his friends and escape whatever was chasing him, it feels real and not like a planned out story.
I don’t know man. There just something about Kane’s whole view and perspective on the back rooms that keeps me emerged in this whole series. He is able to create and express new ways that intrigue me even more. I’m really loving his perception of the Backrooms
I think *immersed is the correct word in this context.
But I totally agree. Kane's videos have me hooked, too. The world building and suspense are top notch. I look forward to every new installment.
thats cause he IS the backrooms.....😎
Yeah
Yes indeed
@LoadingAidan Frag 2 is better, K pixels ruins it because he goes by his own story. His own perspective.
Love the little character-building at 5:06, the supervisor asks "What do you see?" while the cameraman simultaneously asks "Everything okay?" revealing what each person prioritizes when faced with a split-second potentially-dangerous decision.
OR, maybe asking what they see could be a way for everyone to understand the next best course of action. To be logical. Just like in 911 calls. You always have to prioritize the details that will help everyone to survive.
I know I'm reading too much into your comment but I just want to put my two cents anyway, in hopes that we could avoid misunderstanding a person's intentions because of a sentence.
@@BeanSprouts02 Mans did tell him to walk across a room full of pit traps instead of just waiting for backup to slap some boards down.
**Stanley Parable music starts playing.** "Marvin was correct, it was indeed not a person at all. Marvin ran, and fell over like an idiot, and then got up and ran again."
And then Marvin met the same fate as his colleagues
The two times the “creature” calls out “ohhhh.. can anybody hear us!?” its the exact same recording, which should be enough to tell this cameraman dude that something is up. Its like the creature records its previous victims screams and cries in an effort to bring people closer to help. That recording of that guy is absolutely terrifying the whole way through
The "us" in the recording is interesting, maybe two people clipped in at the same time, or perhaps two wanderers encountered each other
@@alexanderkuhn2298 I had a similar thought. It's the small details that are the most unsettling
It reminds me of skinwalkers or that animal from the Shimmer
For those that don't know, I believe the "creatures" are called "Entitys"
I noticed that too, that it was the same recording. Reminded me a lot of the "alternates" from the Mandela Catalog series. I think Kane got a bit of inspiration from that as well. Such awesome stuff.
What makes the monster’s recorded screams even more disturbing is that the screams it made when it was chasing the cameraman isn’t a running away scared kinda yell, but an agonizing scream. This implies it’s victims were given long and painful deaths so it could try to use it for future targets
It sounds like several voices at once during the chase
it sounded like they ripped it straight out of a snuff film, shit sounds like a genuine scream of agony.
669 likes
At first i thinked that the entity was a skinstealer without skin costume
It's a demonic entity in a legit hxll, it is only meant to sound agonizing for the fear factor and creepiness but it's not actually in pain, again it is a demonic entity so there is just darkness inside it and these sounds are just sounds, they have no reasons to happen or anything.
The most chilling part of this is the bacteria's ability to mimic the sounds of people who've ventured in the Backrooms, often mimicking those it heard in the most agonizing pain possible. It most definitely learned those sounds through the victims it violently ripped apart.
It’s like SCP 939
Or it is them.
Bacteria? Did I miss out on something?
@@Uniformtree000 On Kane's Ko-Fi page, he called the monster from Found Footage "Bacteria". And from a few of the recent videos, there's emphasis on fungus or mold.
So the current and ongoing theory is that Bacteria are mutated people that have been warped by the bacteria or fungus in the Backrooms.
Bacteria?
Absolutely genius. I love little details where the hazmat guys try to leave a tape trail so they can't get lost in the Backrooms.
you know something that i love about the ending chase is that, intentional or not the speed of which the guy is running feels slowed down, kinda how when you are trying to run from something in a dream, it's just slowed and you feel as though you will never reach the destination. truly great video
You mentioned speed .... and I have to remember how that thing from the first Video.
It has to be something similar or the same as the thing that pushed Kane's camera out of the Backrooms.
So if that thing can give chase to a sprinting teenager in civilian clothing
Why could it not chase this operator?
Maybe being one level lower than level 0 does something to the being.
@@inugumu it could be 1 level higher or by backrooms logic the infinte highway is level 69 so that alot of levels gone in a short amount of time.
you hit the nail on the head there
I think its the yellow suit that slows him down, but idk its my theory.
you might be onto something with that dream stuff
The moment he entered the room with the "inverted turn signs" really set off all my alarms. The walls especially were straight out of one of my dreams. And when something lines up with a dream I've had, I stay as far away from it as possible.
liminal spacing
Too bad he didn't seem to have had the same dream.
@Thomas I used to do that as well. I had sleeping problems as a kid so every time I dreamt of walking into a church I would stop breathing in real life lol. I’ve never had gone to church but my body must’ve made a weird association.
woah that's wild. I'd freak out if I saw something resembling my dreams
The entity is standing perfectly still during the zoom. It only started running after he said "That's not a person."
The entity heard him from that distance and understood he wouldn't get any closer.
@Decker Yep. And hearing beyond what is known in nature. For all we know, it heard the scientist since it fell down. Which would explain why it only started screaming then.
@Decker Based on the new info from Found Footage 2…this hits different.
Seeing how it starts waving its "arm" then begins lumbering towards him freaks me right out.
I think the entity took shape from the camera with motion detection and can get sound from far away, I mean it basicaly see and hear like the async cameras they used in motion detected
@@thibautisserant wait yeah your right
My favorite cause video yet because it’s explores the entity. How at first, it was mimicking a human in distress, too the glitchy-looking vibe to the neighborhood level of the back room. Straight Horror-Gold
The only hole in the room is the one he fell through, so each and every pitfall potentially goes to a completely different location of the Backrooms.. I hope we get to see more
that is very horrifying
I was just about to press see more
This is actually the ‘Second Threshold’ leading into the circuitry room, where the scientists observe activity in the aback Rooms, FYI it’s actually called’ the Complex’, as stated in the Instructional Video.
4:30, Waffle Room
I also wish to see if they research that area more, like if they rappel down the holes to see where they lead. That would be interesting

Be wary. The things you encounter "living" there may simply not know how to die.
When he is running away from the creature it really gives me the sensation of trying to do something simple like run in a dream, and not being able to for some reason. Really well done, absolutely terrifying
It's chilling how "They" lure in the lone wolf member to that place, only to laugh disturbingly as he turns the corner to meet "Them", mumble incoherent ramblings at him, then beckon him over as he realizes "They" are not human. All before letting out the sickening anguished cries of the damned and begin lumbering towards their next potential victim. I fear no man... But that... Thing... It scares me.

I haven’t actually shouted out loud “hurry! Fucking hurry” at something on a screen out of pure anxiety in years! Absolute childlike dread. This was insanely good, made my horror desensitised heart beat a little faster. Bravo.
ikr. Horror has always been my favorite genre and I can watch pretty much any mainstream horror flick without breaking a sweat. But anything Backrooms related, especially by Kane, makes my heart race. It's such a mind-bogglingly terrifying concept and I love it.
This is intense enough to give me chills. These videos has given me a deep fear of opening doors and seeing a yellow room.
I wanted for the person with camera to get to that horisontal hole in the tunnel as soon as possible, thinking, that the creature won't follow them there, since the creature is too tall. The amount of empathy that these videos are triggering - is immersful!
I also shouted that out
Oh my god that ending scene is absolute gold, I'm glad the camera guy escaped at least (or at least I hope so cause holy shit)
Did he?
That's the fun part. We don't know if he climbed up, or just tied this tape to the cord and had them pull it up.
@@Z0mbieAnt Likely the latter; he was injured in the fall, and expended a ton of energy fleeing the monster. I don't think they hire military for these jobs (THOUGH THEY REALLY SHOULD), so I doubt the poor guy has enough stamina to climb back up God-knows-how-far, nor would the team risk getting pulled in themselves to hoist him up. In a situation like this, they would value the data above a single life.
The terrifying thing about this series is that its pretty clear there is no escape if you get dragged here unwillingly, or go/fall into the wrong spots. And even if you DO escape... well, many of us saw the first video.
@@Z0mbieAnt I don’t think we would hear him breathing and see him aiming the camera upwards if that was the case
@@djneely2999 yeah it sounded too near to the camera
It’s like the neighborhood is the creature’s best shot at imitating what a real street that we’re familiar with looks like, but it can’t get it quite right. Just produces a hazy sort of movie set. And then once he enters the house It’s like, the entity doesn’t know what’s actually in human homes, so it just fills it with street signs. Giving its best shot at making marvin feel familiar enough to proceed
This is probably Kane's most real backroom video yet.
Something I noticed is that Marvin actually had to take a second looking at the monster before running away. Even when it started moving he was still trying to figure out what it was. It's way more human than the usual "see monster, run from monster" shtick that most other backroom creators pull.
I read Kane as Kanye 😭💔
The length of the chase scene was brilliant as well. Even though we saw him run all the way back. There was enough tension and weirdness, that we didn't know if he would make it out.
I think any logical person who has been recruited to investigate these backrooms would have a similar reaction. That is, the delayed reaction where it begins with a curiosity, then a panicked assessment and then the lizard brain takes over and gets him the hell out of there. Absolutely amazing storytelling from Kane. I'm so excited for more.
The fact that Marvin managed to get out of there was astonishing, so satisfying when the camera man survives.. the episode at least since we didn't actually see him reunite with rest of the team, and he was coughing too. Might be it.
I’ve literally never been more anxiety-filled and terrified in my life. This is scarier than most modern horror. Well done man.

This is the kind of genuine terror that grips you.
I was really creeped out when I saw the first video but now I am completely invested, and I am not a huge horror guy. Kane is doing a fantastic job. Also, nice pfp
I was actually expecting a jumpscare where that “thing” would catch up with him.
Woah, you watched the video, incredible.
If Kane's writing all of these videos as well as making them, I'm truly astounded by how well he, as a 16-year old, understands great horror. The way these videos create an ever-present, imposing, and building feeling of dread instead of relying on jumpscares like most horror movies do nowadays is masterful.
This is the episode where I think many of us realized that something very special was happening here, that Kane had closed the loop and we now had a complete world, backstory, imagery set, and narrative flow.
“THAT IS NOT A F*CKING PERSON” Never has a line in any horror production been so real as that one. I really enjoy how we never saw him getting chased, he ran and never looked back.

Honestly the environment looks extremely real. It's extremely difficult to imagine it being made in a program. I literally thought these guys managed to buy a warehouse and build all of this. Well done is a massive understatement. 100/10.
It took me way too many videos to realize that the environment wasn't real
The VHS filter basically hides almost all giveaways of 3d rendering. It's really cool.
I think its combination because those cloth simulation of those shirt and suit at the beginning... even to this day it is time and power intensive to make
But inside the backroom its pretty much alot of it is computer generated.. could be seen by janky movement by the guy thats going to the door at the pitfall and somehow the friction physics and the movement is weird

And if you listen closely, the "Hello, is anybody here?! Can you hear me?" is as if someone took a recording of it and put it on loop. If you notice it early on, then you know the guy is heading toward trouble before anyone starts getting nervous. Seems this creature has some mimic abilities
It showed the "creature" at the end of the hall, flapping its arms. That was enough to be terrifying. heh But then I'm watching it on a very big screen, so it was easy to see.
Pitfalls has got to be my favorite backrooms video
The moment you realize that whatever the creature was, it knew how to imitate us well enough to hunt us is fucking terrifying. I caught it the second time it asked “can anyone hear me” sounded too similar to the first one, very sus. Like just parroting. Spine-tingling. My mind can’t help but wonder
1. Where/ what the hell the neighborhood was. Was he really outside ?
2. What the hell was the creature ?
3. Where did the other hallways outside the hole lead ?

1: neighborhood is just another part of the back rooms, if the back rooms are infinite there would be everything in existence down there

@@Balota7603 That was closer to a realistic take. I'm saying this was a lot like what you'd experience in a dream
Well maybe it’s not so much the speed but the stamina. It’s incredible he ran that far. (Adrenaline rush probably)

This one was absolutely incredible. Honestly, seeing him come back to his starting point and realize he may not be rescued in time is just the definition of tension.

I don't care about any other Backrooms content. THIS is the real backrooms. The Howler entity luring its victim, mimicking the voices of someone it probably killed. Oh my god dude, oh my god
The backrooms looks like it's made from the elements of our world, but assembled by an entity who doesn't actually understand our world. The setting is based on uncanny mimicry, so it makes perfect sense for the monsters to have that ability too
Kinda like the Entity in Dead By Daylight.
i say it has to be like the waiting room for life where a lot of the humans things are there but like slightly malfunctioned
To me it feels like the universe we live in is just a simulation and the backrooms are like loading zones or junk data caches. Kinda like those glitch levels in Mario Bros where you go too far past the levels boundary and enter the games ram space where its a disjointed combination of assets with no meaningful order. Maybe the entities are like missingno from the pokemon games, error handlers designed to deal with those who find themselves in areas they arent supposed to know about.
Because this shit is REAL RESEARCH DEEP UNDERGROUND MILITARY BASES and the atrocities going on down there
It is made with elements from our world! They are like templates.

Unlike the Umbrella Corporation, Weyland Yutani, or Omni Consumer Products that in the same situation would either leave Marv to his fate or go out of their way to secure his camera but not him, it seems like the team is genuinely concerned about recovering Marv alive for Marv's sake.
Yeah, also if the team was one of thos “stock evil science corporations” they would shut off Marvs channel/chatter and pretend that he is dead.
Umbrella technically is a 50/50 some members of the U.B.C.S and the U.S.S were concerned about the wellbeing of their comrades (with the exception of Nikolai and HUNK)
Corporations are always gray sided, maybe Async has something dark goin on, we don't know but these people are probably just scientist helping their coworker.
Yeah, just remember slogan of ASync: *"Compromise is the DEATH of innovacy"* . So in this point, i really doubt they really save him, but in fact they let him die in there, then took his corpse along with the camera
I mean of course their not evil all they wanted to do with KV31 is to provide infinite storage and residential uses
The building up for the "that's not a person" moment holy shit this is so good... The anxiety to see him trying to escape and successfully surviving after seeing that, this is all too amazing
I think the final scene is to show that Marvin died because we hear the monster being close to him and him breathing heavily. He fell down a huge tunnel and during the chase scene he fell again signifying his lack of energy
@@devaughnt8096 but we see him climb the tether and escape the monster... what are you getting at exactly?
@@BlisQuest Well not exactly. We see him climb the short part of the tether, but Marvin pans the camera towards where the monster is coming from, then pans it up to the long part of the tether. I think Marvin was contemplating if he had enough energy in him to climb the tether before the monster reaches him. I think he simply took the tape from his camera and tied it to the tether, which could explain how we're seeing this
@@devaughnt8096 that’s very dumb. He would be very fearful and not just panting. He seemed fairly calm after being chased and almost gobbled up by a camera stand.
@@dallas9397 Who said he isn't fearful. It's not a weird thing to start panting in a situation like this. He has simply accepted that he isn't making it out, and why does him being close to the camera matter
This is my favorite video for one main reason, around 9 minutes he starts wandering around “outside “ and this is so slept on and barely discussed in the lore. Look at the sky; see how weird the sky is, the stars look off, the color, the trees, all the house look so “loaded in”, like what’s going on in those buildings, what is going on in the sky or if you shot a probe rocket straight up into space, what would be up there? Creeeeepy
Finally a good ending. Getting to know these characters from their POV and them not dying for once after building a connection is refreshing. Props to Kane for the amazing narrative skills👍👍👍
Somewhat good at least*
I heard him coughing though... hopefully that's not a bad thing
@@chuckchai6544 mf has like 3 layers of protection unless that bacteria is like atomic i doubt he wasnt coughing because of his sore throat
to be fair though, with these episodes we never know if the person were following lives (assuming we are following one) and i find it creates extra suspense. unlike a lot of modern/hollywood horror stuff you pretty much always know that the protag is gonna figure out a way to survive and yay they live happy ending. here, its up for grabs, no gurantees. no reminder that they will live, 'cause its not a given. and thats what i love about this
@@Kebabian he's got the spores and is gonna infect his colleges. He's not the only one with em, the scientist who did the biopsy also mightve caught the disease.
I can’t describe how much I love that the team of explorers actually seems to care about each other in a casual way, unlike most horror stereotypes where they’re always bickering or one of them is overly obsessed with fulfilling their objective and will just abandon all their friends. I feel it adds a layer of realism how they value each other’s lives (or more likely, they don’t want to see someone die) over their mission, but also in a way that makes them feel like coworkers. It’s a small detail that often gets overlooked. Not all horror movies require a group of people that don’t act like people.
horror movie is like: you go first
* dies *
discovers one of the friends is a murderer psychopath
* everyone dies *
* police arrives *
*dies too *
and then there is some unoriginal ending
Right? It almost makes you sympathize with them and genuinely feel bad when one of them dies.
@@commetsftw yeah
Honestly this is so true. The fact that they show concern for each other actually humanizes them so well. Not only does it give them emotions but it also begs the idea that if these people care for our victim, maybe we should too.
@@shadowspector3611 true
I love how as he sees the monster the voice goes from crying out for help to a blood curdling scream. It’s awesome!
It's probably mimicking those sounds in the order it heard them. It heard people calling for help, then it went to """help""" them...
@@Jurarigo I think from other videos the creatures are people that die or otherwise transform in the backrooms, so maybe its speaking with remnants of its human part. Someone lost in the backrooms would be crying for help.
I think this is one of my favorites of Kane's backrooms short movies. It tells you, unequivocally, how strange, unpredictable, and terrifying the backrooms can be. ⚠
Kane is a superhuman. These animations are way too good and high quality. This man makes amazing videos that honestly feel like it was just a real person behind the camera. Kane gives the perfect ominous feelings in his backrooms videos.
I think hes using mocap for some scenes now
@@karrots47 how?
And he does it in a MONTH just A MONTH
Its even more amazing given that he is only 16 years old. I thought only experienced people can make such stuff.
What if it's not an animation. Truly it is to good.
I cannot describe the level of fear, horror, and shit pant I felt when he just f*cking falls down in that long hallway just moments after it began sprinting at him. It transcends horror and words itself
it's like that guy has the slipperiest shoes in the universe
@@joe-lq6jz if you pay attention you see that there was actually a stair where he tripped, so it makes sense that it the midst of sheer panic he forgets that there was a step and trips.
@@aceaustin4869 100% but I just need you to know I have never jumped in fright quite like that EVER. KanePixels is to blame. He's a prodigy for sure
It wasn't running after him, it was just standing and flailing around
It’s like when your mom calls your full name
I love how smart these characters are, they don’t leave anyone behind, and the fact they used whatever they had in order to get the rope to him is great, series where people actually use their brains always amazes me
they are very unrealistically dumb for trying to balance beam around the pitfalls. Maybe my least favorite part of any Kane video
@@alexmijo i mean you don't want to fall into those deep hole so you would balance right?
@@danielfu1511 no I would sit and scoot across so there is no risk of falling or
just document the holes
The only thing that took me out of it is that first researcher who went across the hole room not simply telling them what he sees.
This is my least favorite trope in anything, driving the plot forward by not saying a simple thing that any rational human would. Just say what you fucking saw when you went through the door asshole! Same goes for Marvin not constantly telling his peers what he is seeing.
@@focussport mabye he didn't know what he saw.
The design of the rooms, the progression of the visuals, it's absolutely beautiful.
Literally sitting here saying, "Kane... I hate this."
I was so uncomfortable the whole time. I love your work man. You have a serious talent for ambience.
This was breathtaking. The most realistic one yet, the humans out of their suits probably helped. Also for those saying that that was a different creature than the bacteria… no. There’s too many similarities, and this takes place only a year before the original Found Footage, so it might have changed a bit. We have learned though, that the creature CAN copy the noises of its victims, and it also wasn’t really moving around until the cameraman made a subtle movement and loud noise, further adding to the theory that a bacteria could be possessing the cameras. All in all amazing episode, I have so many more theories! Amazing that this felt almost like a short film, would love to see more long videos as they’re well worth the wait time!
I also really like the idea that the bacteria are the tripods who mutated by being in contact for too long with the fungus! The similarities are uncanny, especially when we see the bacteria near the end of the Found Footage video, it looks just like a tripod moving around :p
Seems to me theres 2 people asking for help, it says can you hear us? Theres 2 chairs and 2 cardboard beds. I think it was the lost kid and employee that merged with the tripod camera and be saved the kid but now they are stuck. Maybe time travel is involved as well
Yes but I think it is possible that there are multiple of the bacteria creatures, so it could technically be different, also they don’t sound the same. Also, the found footage took place in 1996, and this is in 1990, so they are 6 years apart, not 1.
The creatures or S-38s [I call em that] have different types level one has S-38-1 while for this level the S-38 is kinda dangerous because it can mimic things meaning this is a S-38-4 anything higher than 3 is dangerous if there's already a creature with the same danger level like S-38-6 you can add another number to it after the danger level like this S-38-6-1there are more S creatures than you think we are only seeing the first type of creatures thank you for your time.
@@larosadeazul well yea these creatures are hay bacillus a mutated one so yea they could had merged into one and by killing the monster the human[s] in that monster will be free and can be normal again it's because of the mutated hay bacillus.
I have always loved the back rooms and all liminal spaces, but find that most interpretations are weighed down by uninspired lore that tries to turn a ‘feeling’ into a narrative when it doesn’t need to. This, on the other hand, is, well, PERFECT. I photograph and edit liminal spaces, and this felt like being inside one of my own photos. Absolutely insane, I haven’t felt such strong emotions from someone’s work in a long time. Keep it up, what you’re doing here is something special!
P.S. I have always loved the ‘poolrooms’ style areas that some have made renders of, and it would be absolutely awesome to see your take on them! If you haven’t seen Jared Pike, he made a great animation of that area!
I'm now terrified of liminal spaces
I'm interested in liminal spaces.
Bro I love the Pool area's
The screams 13:03 to 13:21 sound so realistic to people being killed and it’s terrifying
personally for me it's 12:44
The moment when he realizes that whatever is down here has been hunting us for long enough to learn how to imitate us. Chills. I love these
Unless they are the voices of its last victim
Agreed. I think MatPat was at least partially correct when he theorized that the "monster" is actually a mutant strain of bacteria that is indeed slowly learning to become more human-like. In fact, it actually seems to gradually become more and more human each time it encounters a human prey.
In the *"Motion Detected"* video, we catch a glimpse of the creature in its more "raw" form; we don't see all of it, obviously, but we can see that it had thin tendrils and almost appeared to float. This makes sense, because the "Motion Detected" video takes place in *3/5/1990* (and bacteria are light af, so being able to float is believable).
This video here takes place in *5/6/1990; only a couple months later.* By this time, the bacteria monster has grown a _SLIGHTLY_ more human look, though it clearly looks more like a kid's line scribble drawing than a true person (12:32). Still, it could actually make sounds that _can_ pass for human (Marvin is only lured there because the thing made a sound similar to someone yelling). Even when it's chasing Marvin, the bacteria monster's "roar" still sounds more like a person groaning in pain.
Finally, we get to the *"Found Footage"* video, which takes place a bit later (the video description says 1996, but the beginning of the video itself says 1991, so it's kinda weird) after the events of this video. By then, the monster has seemingly become more robust and humanoid. Clearly, its appearance still can't fully pass for a human because it still looks stringy and robot-like, but the closeup Kane gets of it near the end of that video shows that its string-like arms and legs are thicker and less like a kid's line drawing, which means that it's getting stronger.
Also, it seems the monster is becoming more ruthless over time, because it lost Marvin when chasing him through the liminal town in this video... but later in time, when it chases Kane, it keeps pursuing him relentlessly until it catches him (and the chase there was way longer than it was here).
All of this means that the monster _ISN'T JUST_ imitating us, but it's also actually _evolving and _*_transforming_*_ over time_ with each encounter it has with a human, so each person who encounters the monster will have a harder time escaping it than the person who last encountered it before them. _THAT_ is terrifying.
@@mrreyes5004 Imagine if it eventually is able to perfectly imitate a human, appearance and all, then escapes with a team to the outside world by pretending to be one of them.
I got a feeling that by the way it looks, it's the voice of the last victim that fell to it and constantly repeat the 'call for help' of said victim, to lure new ones in.
I think it was imitating the sounds of its' previous victims in order to lure in others
I love how detailed and... professional this is. These people have a method to mapping out this labyrinth, and they're even installing mechanisms to traverse and document it all. The green tape leading through already explore it, and there's even a whole lab or something installed on the other side of the Threshold.
And yet, these people are still very much confronted with something so unknown, arranging all these familiar things into unfamiliar scenery. The dialogue is so well done, them having this process of trying to describe the space they're in for the record and further mapping, making out any details they can see.
And then the Entity - it actually producing cries like human speech is so haunting. Some shouts repeat themselves, too - is it actually communicating, or was it a lure? It's voice getting distorted into unholy screams as it gave chase... and the "room" it had made for itself. A backpack, some shoes, and it had even collected some objects, having a preference for numbers. Assuming it came from a human body - how much of that person is still left in there? The ones we saw before sounded much less human in their cries, weird howls and distorted sounds.
Damn, guy. You're doing so much with all these details here. I know you've heard it a million times, but you're a master at this. Cannot wait to see whatever you'll end up doing next!
To save you from rewinding over and over, here is the message at 5:42
When flipped, the first flash of text reads: "While data could be inferred from these readings, Nobody knew what would actually be found on the other side"
The second flash of text reads: "While data could be inferred from these readings, Nobody knew" (cuts off)
I'd like to point out Kane Pixels pays careful attention to detail, and the 'N' in 'Nobody' is capitalized after a comma which is unnecessary, and to me implies perhaps it is treating "Nobody" as an entity of sorts. Could be a typo, or something more. Either way, you're welcome!
Thanks for this!
Nobody Entity
Yeah that makes sense since the guy says that it’s definitely not a human. So Nobody. That really could make sense.
Also at 11:21 the camera turns gray and starts growing black dots in some areas. Is this the bacteria that infected the backrooms?
11:31 Music right when he is about to enter a new area?

Same room at 1:38 . But from a different organization?
