BILLY SAID ABOUT THIS VIDEO BILLY THE ROBOT
same
Wow
This feels like an 80s corporate high tech utopia hellscape. With a score by Boards of Canada. The optimism portrayed by the narrator gives me the chills. Original Half Life on crack. What a masterpiece.
This whole mythos reminds me a bit of Portal too
@@4nt4r4y and Doom
@@4nt4r4y it's somewhere between Half-Life "the chance of a Resonance Cascade is highly unlikely..." and Portal "the preying mantis DNA injection test is cancelled", yeah.
Black Mesa had a really long stick for poking, Aperture Science had **no** stick, while the stick for Async research is negligently short.
Black Mesa had the bad luck of a perfect storm and Aperture the excuse of insanity.
Async has neither.
just gonna turn into another dystopia
@@heyitsdazy how?
8:13 For anyone that is confused, that A-sync worker is the one who got separated from his exploration group in the informational video. At the end of the informational video, he finds a door which leads to the entrance. The alarms go off. But that entry area was not built until later videos. This could prove a theory that the timelines are different between the real world and the Backrooms.
It think it alludes more to the idea of those null zones that have been mentioned in his prior videos. I think it implies the lost researcher wandered into a null zone and got desynced from his original time frame.
OMG that makes perfect sense!
I don't think it necessarily means time travel, what if he was just wandering for so long that the whole thing was built by the time he got back? In the original backrooms, it is said that it's incredibly easy to lose track of time.
Where's his camera?
@@knightofthenorth926 As another poster mentioned, this tape is dated 3 months after the informational video. There's no way he'd survive that long without food or water. I believe time is a little fucky in the backrooms.
My dad used to work for a copy repair company and occasionally I would go with him when he went to different work sites. One place he took me left a very distinct memory in my mind as a kid in the 90's; it was an empty office building with fluorescent lights and seemingly endless space. There was a strong almost spiced scent and I wandered around until I got lost and shouted into these large empty rooms. After about ten minutes he found me and took me back to the front room.
These videos tap into a nostalgia that I thought only I knew.
A-Sync was charged for corruption and i illegal bussines in 2010 i think
3:52 i enjoy the detail that the mysterious holes in the floor are not only acknowledged in this presentation, but are shown with nothing more than a simple guardrail around them as if they're just quirky parts of the terrain.
Right I imagine they will put signs saying “what for the whole when walking across the storage unit”😂😂😂
❤ I would love to visit this place 😂
What I also noticed (as a not native English speaker) is that on the trucks it says Freight I translated it, and it basically means cargo, but why not use the word cargo? I Feel like Freight sounds like fright (when you're scared) which I think is very idk weird ig
i guess because freight trucks and cargo trucks are words used interchangeably @@Mo67740
@@Mo67740 I get what you mean, but I don't think that's the intent. Freight isn't an uncommon word- I think "freight" is more associated with the vehicle that is carrying cargo, while "cargo" is more associated with the items that are transported. If I were the creator, I wouldn't think much of this. Interesting detail, though!
In informational video, The Async researcher was lured away from the group by the sound of a lot of voices. We know that the area he went to distorted spacetime and the researcher got sent into the future. So the voices could be from a farther future in which the backrooms is commercialized and a large group of people is present.
bruh this is such a good theory why doesn't this have any likes
Great theory. I always thought it was a portal in a cafeteria area waiting to swallow somebody
The researcher gets the world record for going into the future
That makes a lot of sense!
At the time, I remember a theory that what he heard were voices from the real world leaking into the backrooms, but that is also a very good proposition.
I feel like this is exactly how a company in the 90s would try to sell the idea of a infinite space in another dimension. It's honestly amazing. Great job Kane!
@star war maybe it’s not here
Not click in link
It’s not infinite. It’s a little more than six million square miles.
@u know me don't trust Quandale Dingle, he scammed me of all my life savings 😥
I can hear a dubbed commercial video of this already...
"We want to invent a way with this new dimension to have...
Infinite storage, traversal passages, family homes, working businesses, and even more!"
"But nope!"
"We gone ahead and made a off giving vibe dimension full of mechanical demons!"
I don’t see anyone talking about this, but I think the most unnerving part about the whole video is that when it compares the space sizes, the A-Space expands off the screen as the conventional space disappears. I’m not sure why that gives me chills
The Async facilities don't look much less creepy than the Backrooms themselves.
Well, what were the Backrooms modeled on? Async facilities.
@@Sorain1 "Modeled"? As in their design is deliberate? I thought it was an extra dimension that was "discovered" and just happened to be like that. What's with all the weird shapes, seemingly functionless geometry and disproportionate furniture? It almost feels like a mimicry or imitation of our world, like how the monster imitates human voices to lure in victims.
@@lumburgapalooza Well we know from (IIRC) First Contact that something 'obstructed' the process of generation that seemed to be going on. (Hence the map filling in on screen at the time.) So I'd say that some portion of the Backrooms was warped from an intended design. But I also agree that the alien geometry of much of the area fits all too well with that uncanny 'AI generated art' mimicry akin to the monster(s) audible lures. Asynch might have had a design in mind and kicked off the generation process, but I suspect the process of spatial expansion and mirroring is still ongoing, and influenced by something distinctly inhuman.
@@Sorain1 uh, the back rooms existed with the walls and stuff before they accessed it, only the first little research area is modeled in any way, the rest of the weird yellow walls are just how the back rooms were
@@BisexualPlagueDoctor I don't think it's clear which of us is right. I based my assessment on the use of the term 'generation' and how concerned the scientists were with the 'obstruction'. But with the language used, I can't deny it is equally plausible that this space already existed and the scientists were reformatting it to their intended design, which was then obstructed. Given how things seem to be as they intended right beyond the threshold but go into things they didn't intend further out? Well that supports the idea the space existed before. The green glow and the new (different) space beyond the room with the holes would suggest that this 'generation' is still ongoing. But clearly not under the company's control.
it could be that the generated space is acting like a crystal, growing similar shapes/patterns from a seed, and the bits of the normal world slipping through form the seed. (Parking lot chunk vanishes, new area like one appears. Etc.)
More information will clear it up eventually, but on consideration your idea seems more likely than mine.
“What could possibly go wrong with inhabiting an extradimensional space that is infinitely expanding?”
ah,
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
Are you a discord mod? I swear you just sit on your PC all day
Nothing could go wrong, right? There totally wouldn’t be any bacteria monsters chasing after you
He’s back
Well a problem might be is if it's expanding up and down too after a certain size it would collapse.
I think the substance of the Backrooms was always there, but that Async’s meddling accidentally caused it to take on a form that we could understand, thus the yellow looking office like appearance. That what the Backrooms really are is the scaffolding underneath our reality, but by opening this portal to it, it’s making our reality, and the Backrooms unstable, and threatens to unravel everything.
Which explains the no clipping...
Personally I like this concept the best, the idea that the backrooms is wholly of human creation doesn't sit right, it's definitely cooler if it's some unfathomable space that has always been, existing outside of time, but took a familiar form when humans dared to behold it.
@@davidr5284 exactly!
Time and space means nothing in there they don't grasp the concept yet, that guy from before just went through time because he turned a corner, he went to the past for a few seconds then the future, they think is is just an infinite space but is so much more and has more layers than one
In my opinion the idea of humans creating it is new and original, and I like that idea the most.
This kinda makes sense with the actual lore, A-Sync tried to make many residential and offices in the Backrooms. Which is probably why some levels have furniture and objects. This also goes along with Kane's "Found Footage #2"
What is shocking is that people want to live there
In Pitfalls Marvin walks through a little neighborhood. maybe A-Sync built that and due to the obscurities of space and time in the back rooms, marvin travels back and fourth in time and is visiting the since abandoned neighborhood
@@ianeiI this is why you can hear a radio feon 2015!
It is all the same level unless you count jumping into pits
@@meemtiem1273 there are no levels in kane's lore. He has already confirmed that.
The fact they want to turn the Backrooms into a massive storage facility is insane and really cool. If I ever got the chance I would work in Async.
It's also completely terrifying. Probably the scariest part of this series so far.
@@NissanZaxima I know! The fact they want to turn the Backrooms into a storage space with all the entities roaming around is crazy!
@@pkroyce8227 possibly infinity space with it seemed to be rare to find a entity
@@gameuniverse5973 but since then the population of entities from the start +13 making it even more. The most common is a Cavity.
idk if working in the backrooms is a great idea
It looks like A-Sync took the dimension that they found and planned to develop it after seeing the potential that they thought it had. Knowing why A-Sync was exploring it and trying to map it out so thoroughly makes so much sense now. Really adds so much more depth as opposed to just finding and exploring a space.
Probably know that it's an impossible endeavor, just trying to generate income from gullible investors to continue thier research
I got the idea that they were actively searching for something similar to the backrooms, and didn't have a fully detailed picture of the concept before they found it.
My video is here,,, ruclips.net/video/wT5WHk3M9mw/видео.html
@@riftvallance2087 there are multiple hints that they had a contract with the us defence but that the contract was canceled, so this seems like they are trying to get new funding
I also like that A-Sync isn't just seemingly a mindlessly evil group. We saw a hint of it when they activley worked hard to actually RESUCE one of their own agents who went in and seem to have a lot of precautions to make sure they keep their people safe. Not that they are all good. Just that they don't seem to be mindlessly evil like other top secret groups in these sorta things
*IMPORTANT DETAIL :*
The person at the end is 100% the person that got lost in the "Informational Video" tape, but look at the dates from both, this tape is 3 months ahead of the date he was separated from his group. He *time travelled in the future* when the glitch happened, that would explain why he saw his group dissapear. So now we know for sure that the backrooms is a place where time can be manipulated aswell.
Well atleast he got to the threshold lucky enough and I’m so excited to see how they react to time travel!
Well time and space are one in the same. They are a fabric that is warped by mass. So infinite space means infinite time, whatever that is.
That’s whAt I sAid
Another important detail: the man at 6:00 is Jame Watkins, which was the US Secretary of energy from March 1st 1989 to January 20th 1993
@@carlstevens781 | For anyone who might have trouble looking him up, since it's a common name, he's referred to more specifically as "James D. Watkins".
Love that initial gap its like "How does it work"?
Step 1. Magic door way
Step 2. Stuff goes thru magic doorway
Step 3. -
Step 4. Profit.
LOVE IT!
i mean its not magic your literally ripping spacetime apart and they use manchinery capable of this
If this happened in real life I feel like people would be freaked out at first but eventually accept it as just part of everyday life and people go in and out of it all the time and the experts say it's fine, so it must be, right? That one guy on reddit that keeps warning people about the monsters that lurk the deeper you go is just trying to get a laugh out of scaring kids. That homeless guy on the street who claims the backrooms traveled him 50 years in the future? Just a nut who can't afford health care. Your cousin's friend's great aunt who disappeared mysteriously? Could've been anything, really
Or monsters could be like tornados there are shelters alerts and chasing for them just making it a rare but possible event that people just don't think about
You kinda on to something
yeah I’ve kind of wanted to make my own footage video that takes place in like 2008 in a universe where the project was successful called “A-space - exploring the depths” of someone sneaking into the deeper areas
backroom exist = all world human dead or sad
Hey doodle dusty there's a masked man coming to your house you better lock the doors and windows tonight I advise you to stay away from that redibles guy so heh I will track your addres and k**l you
- redibles
who knew a 4chan post that's a couple sentences long could be so inspiring and create such amazing content
A simple post becoming a whole expanded universe
When was the original post?
@@yannyyansen9743 "If you're not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you'll end up in the Backrooms, where it's nothing but the stink of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in.
God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby, because it sure as hell has heard you."
That is how SCP started
@@yannyyansen9743 It might be random but some says that original photo of the backroom is look like the yellow offices in The Stanly Parable which was Released on 2013
As a 90’s kid, the old business presentation was on point, very reminiscent of failed big business ventures with larger than life ambitions, and using the back rooms for industrial purposes is very logical and also a corporation being unaware that the back rooms have hidden dangers and the back rooms themselves are dangerous since it’s an infinite looping dimension. I really loved this one.
Details like this make me sort of question if this series is really being made by a 16 year old or if this channel is another case of a company pulling a lonelygirl15.
It’s such a realistic way to look at the back rooms. Humans will find anyway to make profit. It’s funny how something so dystopian as the back rooms is still made industrial because humans are driven by greed.
@@jakefoley9539 - I thought about that, I mean the level of production on these videos is astounding, there’s live actors, some very seamless blending going on, I can’t tell what’s purely a set location or totally CGI, and to my trained film making eye this stuffs pretty top tier for a 16 year old kid, it’s a little too well made for an amateur film maker.
The one video where it had live actors made me begin to think otherwise that there’s a production company behind this, how could a 16 year old hire actors, get a location to film, there’s obviously a budget for these videos, there’s just a lot of high quality production in these videos that’s definitely above everyone else on RUclips. So it wouldn’t shock me if there’s a very talented team behind these videos and they’re producing this elaborate series for RUclips, but I do question if this guy is 16 or not.
@@10191927 Just to clarify, Kane is actually a student in a film school where he's learning movie direction. it all makes sense and blender is a free software with tons of amazing tutorials on RUclips. anyone can become a great VFX artist
I think one of the emotions evoked by this in the context of the Backrooms is: Sadness. Seeing all the hopes laid into this project, and all the uses the space *could* be for, just to all end up abandoned and empty.
I’m making an ad for this:
Welcome to the world of ASYNC, a brand that knows no limits when it comes to creativity and innovation.
We don't just make products; we create a universe of possibilities. Our backroom is not just a room, but a transportation hub for all your needs. Whether you're a gamer or a tech enthusiast, ASYNC has got you covered. And for those who seek a competitive edge, our backroom is the key to unlocking your true potential.
So why wait? Join the ASYNC revolution today and unleash the power within you!
W ad
Honestly such a human solution. Endless hellscape filled with incomprehensible horrors? Just turn it into a warehouse
Interestingly enough the backrooms would solve many of our problems:
- Since the backrooms are infinite, we could move our argricultural production there. 50% of habitable land on Earth is now farmland, and our livestock 62% of mammal biomass on Earth (34% humans, 4% all wild mammals, from the smallest mouse to the largest whale). The extra space we get on Earth could be used to house more humans or preserve more of nature.
- We could also harness free energy from the backrooms with minimal environmental damage to our planet.
- We could move the more polluting industrial processes in there as well to decrease pollution and increase habitable lands on the surface, such as the refining and production of carcinogenic or radioactive substances and fossil fuel plants (if they haven't been rendered obsolete by point 2)
- It would also be a nifty space to store spent nuclear fuel, making nuclear energy more ideal as an energy source compared to fossil fuels than it already is.
@@randompheidoleminor3011 sunlight? photosynthesis to provide habitable conditions? how would that fit in, unless we industrialised the outside oart seen in ‘pitfall’ but we saw that that was inhabited by monsters. also can the ‘outside’ in the backrooms actually become daytime which would being the question of sunlight again
@@jaackaboytheiii1107 there are multiple techniques of harnessing the energy from the available lights if there is not enough. There are also entities like 10.5b that may be of use
@@randompheidoleminor3011 We could also use the lights to power solar panels
@@randompheidoleminor3011 Can you explain 10.5b? just letting you know that wiki/fandom is not involved in kane's lore
I love the idea that the backrooms are massive but the door to get in and out is absolutely tiny. So the biggest issue would be getting people in and out of that tiny threshold as fast as possible. With possible horror scenarios such as the entire residential sector rushing the door at once.
nah what is with that big mf that chases u and kill u
that rushing scenario is actually such a terrifying concept. i love it.
660 million square miles
@@vanplays5216 approximately, give or take a few hundred thousand feet.
@@engineergaming3145 no, the original person who “created” the back rooms described it as 660 square miles😡
Using 32 quantum field oscillators, The Low-Proximity-Distortion-System create distortions within the space-time continuum, condensing distinct reality layers and allowing their resonant vibrations to be detectable by sensitive equipment rapidly. This process continues until a critical balance is achieved, at which point the distortions are proportionate enough for adjusted stable micro-wormholes to form.
damn
Meaningless drivel. Did you repolarize the quantum deflector as well ? Ooohhh or maybe try a reverse tachyon beam. Ooooohh or maybe try re-energising thermal couplings !
Bro just said alot of jargon, but nothing that means anything
Is this official?
Terrence Howard? Is that you?
4:20 Has anyone noticed that this place looks so familiar with that infinite place in Found Footage?
Interesting it does!
BEHIND THE CAMERA MAN IS A ELEVATOR
I love how subtly Kane expands on this lore. Presentation is a cool way of using subtext to paint a bigger picture.
Mayo with a spoon bruh 🍦🥄
Mr obvious
He likes to hide subtle details that link back to the real world. The man at 6:00 is a real person: US Secretary of Energy James D. Watkins. He served under President George H. W. Bush.
Monet could learn from this
it does not expand lore it actully reavels lore of how in informational video it is the same person that was lost from the group
A perfect way to end the day, thanks Kane.
my day just started bruh
.
Absolutely.
Hi
Ye bri
At 8:13, I remember the informational video, and that guy is the one that was separated from his group, and since the informational video was posted before this, how could in a few minutes he went to here? This video. No way he walked for months and ended up here, just in a few minutes he ended up here. He time traveled and somehow got to the future.
Meaning the group waited a few months
And the lost guy went into the future just in a few minutes.
He time traveled to the future because I. The informational video it only took a few minutes to get to this area. But this is was a few months after the informational video was posted, meaning he time traveled somehow and ended up here.
The backrooms is a Time Machine, and when you wander too far, the space time gets distorted and you end up in another reality.
Weird how my house was yellow too.
Accordingly to the latest video you're correct!
@@thompsy02 So, do you think he was stripped of his equipment by the people that found eventually found him and thrown back in? I remember in one video there was a space that looked like someone had been living there, and it seems like he would be angry at ASYNC because of this which would be his motive for killing mark in the recent vid. So he knew that they knew his survival wouldn't be good for the company
@@dabrams84 Peter(guy from informational video which appears at the end) is time warpped. At the end of informational video, Peter enter the room we see at the end of this video and the alarm goes off(which is what we see at the end there) But that's all I understand
but now after the reunion video was released it doesn't make sence. Yes about the time travel you were right, he time traveled from (in informational video) from the 29th of february to (in presentation) the 8th of may. But now it doesn't make sence after reunion was released it says that (reunion) was recorded on the 25th of may a whole 17 days since he was found in reunion. And also in reunion he seems not to be wearing a hazmat suit he is in all black so what happened to the guy from informational video in reality?
Yea I love the lore
It's very impressive that someone so young can accurately emulate that 80s/90s nostalgic vibe. He understands it as if he was there! 😀
I loved how subtly horrific it was to see A-SpaceTM get so infinitely huge compared to all the storage space in the entire nation
It's a great example of analog horror. Something as mundane as a box growing is incredibly unnerving givin the setting and context
@@micahbell122yearsago6 I've had similar mundane fever dreams. They are bizarre and hard to explain because they're so abstract and random. I believe other people have had the same dreams. Idk what that's about.
It’s like outer space but in a room
@@micahbell122yearsago6 I used to have a nightmare where I was looking at a small ball, then everything would zoom out to this impossibly larger ball. I would wake up sweating.
The backrooms empire 🤣
Also they realy have to watch out for the entitys to be honest
What I find interesting about this story is that there's no true villain. Just a research company who found this cool unlimited space and are trying to use it for productive and positive causes, they just didn't know that peple could just slip into it out of nowhere and that some wierd bacteria monster had nested in it. Judging by the look on the managers' faces in "The Report" I think it's a pretty safe bet that they hadn't a clue what the thing that Marvin E. Leigh had caught on film actually was
They absolutely had that "what the absolute shit is this shit" look
Yeah, it's a refreshing split from the "corporations are evil" bit. I like it! What if they just want to solve a problem? Economics 101!
I don't think the company is as innocent as you make out.
They've definitely stumbled onto an amazing technology with huge potential benefits, but they're also very clearly ignoring, and possibly concealing, the dangers therein. It's clear that they have experienced dangerous phenomena that they don't fully understand, and yet they already have marketing videos? They're creating mock dioramas and giving presentations to what appear to be officials in some capacity?
Perhaps even more directly damning, there's a three frame glitch in the transition of the footage at 4:51. I took a screenshot, flipped it horizontally, and compressed it vertically. The text that appears is incomplete, but it says"...ED TO DECEIVE THE FEDE...". Imo, "fede" is most likely "federal", implying that they're deceiving federal bodies to fly under potential regulation that would cause them to cease, or delay, what they're doing.
ruclips.net/video/7ST93oCimcA/видео.html
@@elemenopycuaress7454 Exactly. I have no idea how people are interpreting Async as being benign. It's pretty clear that they're more on the "Evil" spectrum by intentionally omitting the existance of entities and anomalies in their upbeat promotional videos. They are prioritizing profit over human lives.
Dude those plans for the storage rooms and offices reminded me so much about the severance show
this gives such a portal-esc feel. really good work. love it!
⚠️ The thought of actual offices, stores, restaurants, cafes, apartments and houses in the Backrooms is terrifying.
Can you imagine ? People casually going about their whole lives working, eating and living in the Backrooms. That in itself deserves a spot in the analog horror hall of fame. Async was really trying to normalize a dimensional distortion in time-space before they even really knew what they were dealing with. My imagination is going wild !
Thanks for another quality upload your gift and talent go without saying. ✌️⚠️
No sunlight in sight...
It would be OK if they just did something about the monsters.
Sounds like how our government would act now.
Honestly its funny as fuck lmao just to imagine thats the first idea they had instead of selling it to the military or something instead.
@flower has eaten okay but what still isn't here? your father
I like that at no point has ASync been presented as evil. Usually the corporation is cartoonishly villainous and casual about risking the entire human race, but with ASync they haven't been needlessly endangering their workers and have a very mundane proposed use for the backrooms.
And Kane's brilliant! "How can we make infinite storage space meaningful, interesting, and frightening too!" lol "How do I take an Internet folk story and build upon it without pissing off the fanbase?"
I don’t exactly understand the purpose of the “back rooms” why are they there? What is a sync purpose for them? Thanks
@@jamisonk.097 It's literally explained in this video
@@jamisonk.097 Backrooms are just a different dimension don't worry about what created them
The issue is that Async wants to harness the infinite space to use for storage which is a good idea we are going to run out of space on this planet
The actually issue is something is already using that space

I feel like their intended use of the backrooms is like a physical version of the internet.
You could access it from anywhere, as long as you had a machine. You could probably take anyone to the same place within it from any of those entrances. It has a basic structure that can be manipulated into anything else. It goes on forever with no real limit. It's abstract and confusing but has a visible form.
Edit: Not entirely sure about my second point but I'm leaving it in.
Also adding that the structure forms patterns, it's not completely random, meaning those patterns could be learned. Like a computer language.
Kind of meta in a way, much like how the backrooms have spread through the internet and also the original video game reference about no clipping. It's all very interwoven.
An excellent comparison.
So, the backrooms are what is actually inside of wormholes?
So basically it's like using nether portals but without all of the hazardous conditions (supposedly), because for every block in the the base world is 8 in the nether realm. So based on your statement, the backrooms could also serve this function and act as a more efficient source of transport.
@@OutlawRemy86 the back rooms is what you get if you accidentally clip out of reality. Reality is all that is. The backgrooms has everything that isn’t. There’s a lot more of that.
If the backrooms didn't end up being full of monsters and turning into a creepy pasta, I'm sure it would've been revolutionary.
The attention to detail is insane. They even showcased James Watkins, the secretary of the department of energy in 1990.
ASYNC seriously discovered this abnormal space filled with monsters and unnerving areas and thought "this is the perfect spot for a dollar general"
Most normal American business ever
a normal day in america
But that is Dollar General.
I mean, the backrooms does look like the average dollar general
bro monsters are gone in level 0
This is actually genius and loops back to what the backrooms originally were, by introducing the narrative of people using it for storage, commercial space, etc, it opens up the explanation of why there are so many almost infinite rooms full of nothing or odd structures - because they were simply used by people until they were forgotten
Yeah I actually realized that as well.. And makes a lot of sense why there are items such as Almond Milk, but little do
they know....
@@eduardocarranza4333 it's super almond water
I wonder if there's gonna be a clear distinction between abandoned sections of the backrooms vs untouched sections.
I disagree. I think it was always there and parts of it happen in different parts of time. Thats why the scientist left the initial entrance to the backrooms and after being teleported went theough the new finished one.
@@eduardocarranza4333 I think there's no such thing as almond water or entities in this canon
This is the first video I could tell it was animated, and only for brief moments. Whomever makes these is a master of animation
The lore is well thought out and amazing in details.
This is such a good idea, accessing the backrooms and using it for storage space and even setting up offices and transport systems, you've created some fascinating lore with this
In theory yes, but remember it's the backrooms we're talking about here. Nothing is as it seems here.
That has already been the lore for ages..
I don't know why to build offices there, I would just stick a big pipe in the door and send all the shit of this world there.
Upd:
Bakteria: 'time to eat some humans'
Big wastes pipe: 'AMERICAAAAA, F*CK YEAH'
Upd 2: Bakteria: 'dear diary. I can't describe the pain in words...'
And dying
What makes me think that it's not going to work isnt the fact that they're the backrooms and there are anomalies but think what would happen in case of a fire. Or even a chemical fire. There's basically 0 ventilation, it's all connected.
On the other side though, we could get a parallel universe where uscsb covers incidents in the backrooms lol
It only makes sense that our world would try to profit from the Backrooms by using it as storage and living space. I love how realistic this whole series seems. Instead of a creepypasta with countless unrealistic things you took a unrealistic idea and built a realistic world around it. Perfect.
Didn't they set out to create living an storage spaces?
Not even about profit, goober, about affordability and running out of space.
Definitely better than the discount SCP shit people started coming up with.
Its not viable for living space however, the cost of infraestructure (working electricity and running water) would only go up the further it is from the entrance.
@@neztimar43 lmao you assume that the ordinary laws of physics apply in the backrooms
It potentially all encoded in the tech, it’s almost assumed that it’s an all inclusive miracle, besides the technochron waiting around the corner
As well as an excellent web series, this is a fantastic portfolio. I don't think Kane Pixels is going to have much trouble finding work in the future. Congrats on the film deal!
I really love backrooms and thanks sync to create this ❤
Something critical I don’t think everyone caught onto yet: the person at 6:00 is presumably Kane’s recreation of James David Watkins, Secretary of Energy under George H. W. Bush. This goes along with the DOE we keep seeing in certain clips which should be the department of energy.
Wow good eye. From James David Watkins' wikipedia page:
"On November 9, 1989, Watkins established the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management within the Department of Energy. On August 15, 1990, Secretary Watkins announced plans to increase oil production and decrease consumption to counter Iraqi-Kuwaiti oil losses caused by the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait."
So the date of his visit to the backrooms was after establishing the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management. The narrative edging towards storing some nuclear waste inside the backrooms, perhaps causing mutations.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 That’s a distinct possibility; it looks like another concept they were considering was pumping the CO2 output from industry into the Backrooms rather than the atmosphere. It might be that after the monster sightings, the company started pivoting towards applications where humans aren’t exposed to the Backrooms but it’s instead used for hazardous material storage. Then doing that either causes more problems with the monsters or the process of opening more thresholds winds up not working as expected, leading to the spatial anomalies experienced in the first video.
That, or the time distortion effect (the guy at the end is definitely the one from Informational Video, which takes place three months before this) leads to more issues. Maybe they pivot again to trying to figure out how to control the time distortions and figure out how to monetize that property of the Backrooms instead?
Wow great catch! I am blown away by the attention to detail, by such a young creator nonetheless, and the details that get discovered by the community. He really thought this out and did some homework on history, science, physics, and industry.
@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 Solid follow up 👍
@@Nathan-kk6lb Wow that is a great theory. My imagination is going nuts lol
Did anyone else just feel uneasy thinking about the fact that this company wanted to basically move a whole civilization to this very unnatural space? Even though this could be seen as a way to solve housing problems and just spacial problems in general, it just puts a pit in my stomach to think that there is something deeply off about this space (forgetting the fact that we know there's a scary creature lurking around) it doesn't feel like humans are supposed to be there let alone trying to live normal lives there
Specially cuz they also want to do industrial stuff in there too. Imagine breathing in those byproducts.
A few monsters
Whoever would live there would have to endure sleepless nights from all these buzzing neon signs...
Ugh, yes. It's so unnerving to think that people would be permanently housed down there. There's no sunlight. No fresh air. No windows or doors. These videos give off such a trapped, hopeless feeling, like being stuck forever in an office building. It seems like this space could be so easily forgotten, even if the company didn't intend to. Like if things started going wrong, perhaps gradually, but no one from the company came to fix the problems, and gradually everyone realizes they're all alone...
Looks like the beginning of the world depicted in the movie THX1138
you're a genius for all of this, im blender artist aswell. Your video editing, sound design, colorings and environment design exudes professionalism and talent. you're great at what you do
I love this sort of stuff. I love the science fiction-ish, futuristic feel couched in a more comfortable nostalgic vintage area/visuals. I enjoy that trope used in shows as well. Makes me think of the show Loki where the TVA is immensely powerful and yet the technology and aesthetics do not seem futuristic really. Retrofuturism I believe is one of its names. So cool.
Does NOBODY talk about how the guy in the last 10 seconds of this video is the guy of the "Backrooms - Informational video"? This is too sick. So correct me if I'm wrong, but they were presenting the idea to a client when the lost guy from the informational video returns? This series are so good. Thank you Kane for bringing this to our world.
Thanks for explaining, I forgot about that guy :)
Yeah few seem to have noticed it, i also thought he was the guy that stepped into an alarm room at the end of a past video.
exactly and that employee with the suit was in the same room that the 2 clients crossed to go see the scale model of the backroom, the same that we see closing off near the end of this video if i understand correctly
It's unclear to me whether he's a prospective client or an A-sync executive.
He time travel
Giving off some major classic analog horror vibes. Love to see it! Can’t wait to see where this leads
another day, another back rooms video
Same
I loved the whole series, I'm revisitin this one because I got shocked by how amazing this chapter was.
0:51 i'm sorry but this concept is maybe the most terrifying moment of the series thus far. "we have too many people, stuff 'em in the endless rooms".
It's actually sort of sad to see how A-Sync failed to use the Backrooms because of its hostility since this actually looks like a great solution to all of humanity's problems.
Housing, storage and whole other problems are essentially no longer a concern due to the infinite space they have.
Even without the hostility, I don't see an endless labyrinth of moldy carpet and drywall being a great solution to all of humanity's problems lol
@@sportsentertained it can be interesting if we're talking about storage only, but I can't imagine living a place like the backrooms
@@sportsentertained Perfect place to dump all of our unrecyclable or long decay waste

Kane Pixels is, by my understanding, a young man who wasn't even around in the 1990s. As a genuine antique person who was there, it is UNCANNY how well he nails what things looked and sounded like back then. It's insane.
He’s 16 years old.
@Epic how u guys know that?
Born in 1977 and growing up in the 80's I recognize the 'music' in Kane's video as those you would hear whenever you were seeing a promo video of... whatever.
He may be 17 - but he absolutely nailed it! 👍
@@user-bs8pg7be8m his channel description
This is a compliment but it comes off as super dismissive. As if you’re labeling him a child first and a creator second. As if that’s all that can define him.
2:27
Never in my life did I think that a simple graph would make literally laugh out loud.
That was hilarious.
So 70's! So strangely intoxicating. What a work of art.
Big facts 💯🔥
Explanation:
In the episode “Informational Video” dated 2/29/1990, the main character was a hazmat researcher exploring the back rooms. During the expedition, he experience a sort of error, which caused him to jump forwards in time. At the end of “Informational Video” the researcher entered a human built room that looked very similar to the room we seen in this video with a distinct alarm.
In episode: “Presentation” dated 5/08/1990, at the end of the video, we see 5 people, presumedly high ranking researchers of A-synch, having a meeting. During the meeting, a researcher monitoring the Backrooms threshold noticed that the sensors inside the Backrooms were triggered. When checking the cameras, we see the same researcher from 3 months ago, in the same room with the same alarm.
That basically explains this videos plot.
The guy must be very confused
Imagine its a big ass time travel record
That error or some call it space time distortion might be the reason for the monsters to appear who might be technically aliens.
And it’s not the last time they will deal with it. The meeting was about the encounter by Marvin only two days ago based on the time stamp.
@@cutthroat4274 yes, bacteria grows with time.
2:31 That intentionally long scene were the storage space was so much bigger, is a very cool little detail!
It's like food, bigger may look better, but there's a limit
@@iv689 indeed
It plays with our imagination. The intention of the company is to show just how innovative and convenient this infinite space is but really it shows the horror of The Backrooms. How it's always growing and is beyond our capability and understanding, the fear of an ever growing horror

Forgot to mention that its the same eerie yellow.
I absolutetly love your work Kane, pls keep it up!
This first started out as a 9 minute animation, now it's a freaking series! I still can't believe this started from a single image. Well done Kane!
I love how even outside of the monster the Backrooms in the setting would be incredibly dystopian. If the project had succeeded, just getting to live on Earth and have the chance to see the sun would become a privilege for the wealthy.
It's even worse if the monsters were still there, having the chance to be killed in an instant would become part of daily life, or taking a wrong turn would leave you stranded forever.
literally everyone who would've lived in the backrooms would be depressed
They probably will put strong steel fences from bottom to top from entrances that are dangerous and can kill you
That could definitely be a dystopian storyline for sure, but also, you could literally walk to a portal to the outside world and on the other side your home could be something absolutely massive and decadent or whatever you specified in your design document for A-sync to process. However, your "palace" would have no real windows to the outside world, you'd have to cross a threshold of your a-space portal in order to see the actual outside world.
I don't know, how would living in a place like that affect a human being even if you could go outside?
I feel like it would be a very tough call personally to weigh up the possibility of having any sort of dwelling I desire, yet at the cost of having no "real" windows to the outside world.
If anything I feel like the world would get less populated with this technology, not more populated.
The dystopian vibe reminds a little of Escape from New York, what happens when corporate state power systems sends everyone into a hellhole and then collapses.
Your ear for audio is so, so very good. Your music, the ambiance, even distortions and overlapping voices.
Everything in your videos seems so natural and appropriately dated.
The concepts you have put forward in this video are brilliant.
I don't know who you are Kane but you have such a bright, and slightly strange, future ahead of you. ❤️🌿
Well said! Especially the last part

this is really good kane pixels. keep it up!
you're a great artist man, truly remarkable work that captures the imagination.
i grew up in the 90s and presentations like these bring me back to elementary school when they would wheel out the crt tv and play a teaching video obviously recorded a decade earlier. you did a good job capturing that. a lot of people didnt realize that yeah, we did get new tech in the 90s like cell phones and better\ affordable computers. but every text book and movie in school was from the 80s and felt dated even then.
@hope Noooooooooooo, that's not backrooms, my latest vid is.
@hope Finally it is here *YES*
*ruclips.net/video/xvFZjo5PgG0/видео.html*
Even in school in the early 2010s, we still watched shows from the 80s on the old cart TVs for social studies and music class sometimes. Even now, some of our textbooks are from around 20 years ago.
Same here man old times (in early 2000s living in Tucson az
OH THAT ENDING REVEAL! I remember a previous video way beforehand where an A-Sync employee suddenly got lost from their designated group while exploring the unknown territory. One of the last scenes from that video was when he stumbled upon a room which activated an alarm. Now A-Sync found the man I presume. Jesus… everything is tying up together isn’t it? Well done good sir.
Yep, i think he came from the past.
Hopefully he isn't dead
About 3 months ago, give or take maybe an hour or week
The video where the guy was in the place with the alarms said 2/29/90 as the date, and this video is 3 months in the future
It's interesting that this guy is still alive before and after even the pitfalls event I think he might have gotten the director attention that day.
Crazy to think that they were planning on society living in the backrooms. That’s frickin insane… I couldn’t imagine not seeing the light of day and moving my family down there.
This is my fav KP backrooms video. The presentation with the music "Please Do Not Speak" in the background just gets me.
The larger than life “A-Space” Total Available Storage Graphic is as fascinating as it it is terrifying. One of my favorite moments from the video.
It sorta replicates the disorientation effect you experience at night on your bed in the pitch dark.
Yeah, the message is clear: the Backroom dimension is too extensive as a concept for us to understand. It is on a whole new order of magnitude. We can't even begin to grasp the infinity that it contains...
This video alone adds so much depth to the series. “Virtual Storage Space” just like how we can virtualize servers and IT infrastructure… a-sync is literally virtualizing physical space as a commodity. Very cool and very deep. This video series can go on indefinitely…
With infinite space comes infinite story potential
they dont know the dangers the backrooms may hold
You have no idea what virtual means do you?
@@A_Stereotypical_Heretic it's a perfect word for this. What do you think it means? Before you answer, keep in mind the word has been around longer than computers have existed
@@2ManyGoats well colloquially it means not quite exactly the same thing as the thing your prefixing it with, or something is not an exact representation of what you are describing...as in "those two houses are virtually identical".
So...if you're using it in that manner how is the space being a commodity not quite 'space being a commodity'?
If you're using it in the way that you're describing a replication of something that is nearly but not quite exactly like the original copy...it still doesn't really fit does it? I mean it is physical space...and it is a commodity...soooo...
I like how the narration, music, and editing makes this feel like some 1980-2000's presentation the teacher would play during class
The simulations, visual representations, and 80/90’s aesthetic is beyond amazing. This makes it feel so real lol
Dude! I keep worrying that the quality of this series might drop, but it just keeps getting better! Keep up the great work, but don’t burn yourself out. Good luck, Kane!
>I keep worrying that the quality might drop
>don't burn yourself
bro, that's exactly the type of comment that makes content creators get burned
The behind the scenes must be insane
Making videos is hard and easy to burn out... But I think the month wait is just the right time.... I don't think Kane has is too busy, he should have lots of time for video, especially with his subscribers and the adds... Glad he can finally have the resources to make better videos. When I made my backrooms video, I had to squeeze it between work, at 2am in the morning to complete it. Its uploaded to my channel, but I feel that's all I can make for now. I will see.
I ain't afraid I've been invested since the first video and I am glad I was on RUclips today or else I would've been a week late
The quality's good in parts but there's bit too much zoom out of still shots for my taste. Still a great series so far
I like how the creepier and more unusual aspects of the backrooms show up in the concept videos at 3:04. It's a bit surreal to realize you are waiting for the monorail next to the bottomless pits, or the entity drop vent is at the end of the hallway to your apartment.
Imagine a Skin Stealer Posing as a pizza delivery person
Also the walls in illogical places that don't serve any purpose.
@@leociresi4292 Hey, Uber Eats has got to get their labor pool from somewhere.
@@Ubbenstein It's avant-garde/edgy architecture! Says the rental brochure.
I think the idea is that things like bottomless pits and entities weren't supposed to exist in the original concept. It was supposed to be just normal space used for a variety of purposes. Something went haywire during its creation which caused it to get all screwed up and it turned out to be what it is
This is by far one of the coolest series I've ever watched
bro kane pixels this is actually brilliant we just need air conditoniers and anti entity sprays
I like how at the beginning they say “Modern innovations have the potential to irreversibly scar our world with lots of bad byproducts” but in a way they’re really talking about themselves opening up a “modern/new” portal which will forever scar our reality because of no-clippings.
That's what we in the business call "foreshadowing"
It’s like in the Watchmen graphic novel where Veidt has his own fitness method that promises “bodies beyond belief”. He actually delivered on his promise if you count the millions who were killed when his extra dimensional alien made its presence known.
made up: I guess they stop noclipping in 1997.

@@yungkimchee7172 well that's the main reason he can pump these videos out as quick as he does. with the VHS filters you don't have to render out as many samples as normal because most detail gets covered up in post

I love how they added the adding bit, makes everything come full circle this far
My heart sunk when the blueprints included "residential" - imagine people living in this... and it seems like A-Sync just shrugged off the "incident" from earlier and sealed it off, because the project has too much going for it. This series has gone from scary to downright existentially terrifying... and I love it.

I absolutely love how upbeat and 90/80s style this music is compared to the grotesque, bleak ambience that is in most of Kane’s backrooms videos, as well as the constant jump cuts to the footage with that same bleak music. Really helps build the overarching sinister atmosphere associated with the backrooms. You never cease to impress, Kane!
Do you know what's the music called ?
I have not idea what is going on, and that's exactly the point and why I keep watching these.
You made this seem like a 90's or 80's commercial. Also, great detail with the twin towers still up. Thank you so much for all the nightmares and endless brain terror you gave me. No joke this was made so well, and actually thank you.
I like how this series started off eerily creepy from a first-person perspective of a random stranger getting stuck into this horror dimension and slowly turned into an analog world-building of society in the backrooms. Kane Pixels you just made the community proud!
"building a society in the backrooms" ain't gonna end well. matching this to wiki-lore, A-sync has basically created an artificial noclip that is stable and therefore reversible. They haven't yet found the manilla room because they are simply too cautious.

What I find the most unnerving about the back rooms is the fact that it mimics a human space (offices, pools, furniture, etc.) yet, as far as I understand, it was not created by humans. It makes it more sinister, like it has a life of its own, like it makes its own choices.
And humans venturing into this for the sake of profit is very realistic.
Simpson Parody, “Welcome to the Back Rooms Mall! Please follow the Bacteria for all your shopping needs!”😁
Throwing an idea out there: It IS created by humans, far in the future for an unknown (probably non nefarious) reason like shelter from a catastrophe or even just as extra space for a growing population.
They didn't realize that what they created exists independent from normal time and we can access it now, far before we are ready.
I always wondered, bc it's this feeling these places exist somewhere. Do they echo parts of reality, like forgotten elements that are copied and paste randomly?
@@mayeulraffin5926 I think it's meant to be like that yeah. The description of how you enter the backrooms is by "no-clipping" into it. That's a video game term. It stands to reason that the backrooms could be the leftover reality of a higher power's video game.
