The End is commonly referred to as a ‘trap level’, meant to mislead Wanderers into thinking they have escaped the Backrooms. The layout of The End consists of a seemingly endless modern library, with the main area in the center decorated with letters reading 'THE END'. Wanderers who enter this level will experience nearly complete silence, with some areas measuring to below -6.2dB. The center region of the level is nearly as silent as the rest, though the computer terminals within buzz loudly. It is recommended to remain in this area and not explore further to avoid getting lost. Exiting The End is very difficult due to the unstable nature of its geometry. For example, the level seems to loop when walking in a single defined direction. However, turning around at this point may cause one to run into a wall. Exits do exist, but there is currently no feasible method of documenting them. In addition, the level can render wanderers unable to perceive others, even if they are within close proximity. It is rumored that this level may be a cover-up for the “true end” of the Backrooms. Some say this level has a hidden gateway to arguably the true final level: Level 9223372036854775807. If one uses the computer (pictured) and runs H97Run.exe, it will transport one to The Hub. After walking through the door, several different possible outcomes will occur: The door that one entered from will disappear; After staying within The End for an undefined amount of time, one may be sent to a random level
Isn’t there an elevator in this backroom level where u can choose which backroom you would want to go to, meaning that if you chose level 3999 there’s still a possibility to escape?
Hello if you like watching Backrooms footage I'd really apreciate if you take a look to my backrooms videos and let me know your opinion. My channel is new and veeery little ♥ Have a great day! :)
They need to make a movie/series/anime of the backrooms, think of how scary and fun it would be to watch a protagonist walk though hundreds of rooms, getting chased, finding people, etc. The backrooms is just a goldmine for making a great horror show!
Reminds me little bit of Angel of death. A girl, who's also stuck in a maze and gets chased by a bandaged boy and some other characters with crazy plans.
Always wanted a crisp the end found footage. Always gotta respect the glitches. Also, that part where the wall was closing in, was SUPER cool! It gave me a backrooms feeling, when the camera and the guy just flew to the other room. That was cool. Never seen anything like it before. Can't wait to see more from you!

Really Really good! I liked everything in this video! The only thing I thought was slightly annoying was that the camera was a little too shaky in the still moments, but even then that could be called realistic because who wouldn't be shaking?
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!! I loved the voice acting and the whole thing felt so.. human with the breathing, shaking, etc. Really made me feel for the guy. Sound effects were also on point- scary and unsettling. Love it.

I really love the moving wall. As much as I always love the various creatures roaming the halls in backrooms media, I always find it much more interesting when the halls *themselves* are somewhat alive and hostile to some degree. Really cool video!
I absolutely love the fact that you made the guy run through the darkness when he noticed there weren't lights anymore, finally someone that makes the character not have balls of steel to enter and dark and unknown place and makes them run
3:52 Wow, Bill Gates was so good at making sure Microsoft Windows was everywhere back in the day, that he even got it onto computers in the Backrooms! Impressive.
Not everyone, the people who has video records are probably 15% or lower (I think) and the remaining 85% are dead or wandering the Backrooms alone without footage.
I'm amazed how this looks CGI but also real at the same time! I would want to make Backrooms footage too, but I'm a noob lol At least I tried with a song in my channel, but your animation is the one that rocks man! Greetings from Mexico :)
Bro!?!? The amount of detail and the epic and smooth animation is so good!!! even the wire connected to the computer and mouse MOVES when he is moving the clicky thingy
Wow, I loved the realism of this, like how he took a moment to catch his breath after escaping level ! and how he actually reacted when a wall slammed him, unlike other videos where the person is completely silent even if they are being eaten alive or somethin
Yo amazing work dude! I'm glad you're making backrooms videos that are not just "level 0". I like how you're exploring more into the other levels/locations that are less popular. A fun fact about "the end" is that the original picture was taken from a Borders Bookstore that was being closed, some person wrote "the End is Near" on the board thing for fun. I'm not sure if it's real, but that's all the info I can find. Keep up the good work dude, and hopefully, you're doing well.
This is so accurate. To the environment aesthetics to the camera shaking everywhere when he’s in level ! But what I like most is that the camera shakes for a while in his hands after level ! It’s either from the knowledge that he could’ve died so easily, or the facts that he ran 6 miles at top speed while being chased by several entity’s.
I really love this, as well as the other videos you have in this story! These were incredible to watch - I hope you continue making these! I really liked how you made the computer in this level, and the fact that the guy could have gone straight to the true final level by selecting the other folder :)
Everything you do in these videos are amazing unlike other videos, you show different sections of the levels, show the entities, have voice acting. Keep it up
Bro the animation is so good it looks so real and the fact that the camera seems newer and has better quality means that more mistakes would be seen but is basically none very good work 😊
Holly cow these videos are truly scary! I thought this channel was just another backrooms channel (witch it is) with its own lore that isn't very interesting, but man your series is actually very scary and I highly respect the effort!
Bro this vid is a masterpiece! I love how the dude in run for your life started gaining more speed has he was more scared and more scared. Overall this is one of the best videos of backrooms I've ever seen! If I tried to make one of these vids it would take me a good 7 months and you did it in a month or so your a great animator keep up the good work!
I like the transition from Level ! (aka "Run for your life") to "The End"... and the video does do well on representing a running sequence by swaying the camera like they arnt trying to record the experience of running.
Barns and Noble have been shutting down a lot of facilities recently. I’m tempted to suspect you of having a friend who works at one letting you in to save a minute of time and money. AMAZING!
I just discovered you cause your most recent but wow. I have to say I am really impressed you’re work is very quality 2:00 when he realized he couldn’t go back after going down hallway, just pure terror and completely new and unique. I like that you can add so much new content and ideas while still keeping the back rooms canon shit like the hub with all the different levels such quality work keep it up:)
3:14 bro love the wall closing in! Trying to read that sign but camera shakes too much but other than that you did awesome! I would love to see more backrooms levels on your channel! Thank you.
I really liked this entry! I have only recently "discovered" The Backroom genre, so these are still quite new to me. I especially like how you added a realistic bit of dialogue (the young man wondering...naturally....what he was seeing wasn't making any sense). The way the walls sent him FLYING was the best twist....very original & dream-like! I look forward to more of these. :)
One of my favorite parts is that while you saw the glitch happening when he got to level the end you saw a partygoer like smile for a millisecond. Good video!
This is very well animated! Im suprised the carpet looks real. Maybe you could do a level 998 footage? Idk if you will make it or not. But hopefully my request gets accepted.

Maybe I read/heard the information wrong, but doesn’t Level Run For Your Life drop you into a safe level after you escape? Idk, again, probably heard it wrong. But yeah, this is amazing! Keep up the great work!
The Backrooms videos im making are not suppose to be fully lore accurate, just trying to come up with my own stuff because some of the lore is quite confusing, anyway, Thanks for the kind words 👍
Did you guys notice how when he fell into the end is near level, during the glitching part there is a =) Possibly because of how partygoers and the host are sometimes near the computer in this level
Oop- Edit: finally finished it and this is epic merchant! I love how it tied in with the last rfyl backrooms video and the smoothness to it. The sound effects were great too! But may I suggest that you add some glitching effects to the video and a small buzzing sound since it's the backrooms? The camera quality probably wouldn't be that good down there and it would be glitching left right and centre due to the bad connection down there Other than that this was incredible! Well done mate!
I worked for Borders Books for years. One of my jobs was to travel around and help open new stores, so I got to see quite a few of them before they were stocked and were nothing but bare shelves, just like this. Watching this video gave me such an overwhelming sense of dread because the setting was just so familiar.
Nice, man! I liked all the stuff in this video! The only thing that was a little bit annoying was that at 0:21 I could see a zoom blur used instead of a normal blur. But anyway, nice video!
I miss Borders. Even as late as high school I would usually go there after school every afternoon. Most of the times just buying a drink and nothing else but the occasional magazine. Sampling at the music section and skimming through the books was so fun. Cool video especially the ending with the Windows 98 computer
Here before 1m views, at 316 as of writing this. Very well made, also glad to see a found footage that takes place in a time period later than the 90s!
Oh they are all conected into one big story didnt realise before now btw great voice acting and great attetion to detail its like you read for 5 hours abput this level before making this level
HELL YEAH!!! Your stuffs getting better my dude I can already see it! Great stuff my man

@@partypooperpartygoer5370 I know but... and hear me out... no maidens?
Why is it, everyone who drops into the backroom's, happens to conveniently have video recording equipment to hand?
The K.Pixels video explained why
because they're fully equipped and ready to go to the backrooms or people have a phone on them at all times
Because we can’t retrieve video footage about events that weren’t recorded.
Only the lucky ones have cameras
Not everyone, the people who has video records are probably 15% or lower (I think) and the remaining 85% are dead or wandering the Backrooms alone without footage.
