    Honestly the most unnerving thing about the Backrooms is that no matter who you are, where you are, or what you are doing, good/bad person - you could just hit your elbow funny and slide sideways through a street lamp and end up in office space purgatory

    Now that I understand what the backrooms are, you don't even need the creatures/monster(s). The concept of slipping into an empty world where it's just rooms and hallways that seem like the real world, but they're obviously off or very wrong and illogical is extremely scary. Just wandering in this place that makes no sense and possibly never getting out as you're starving and thirsty is a nightmare

      I have had several dreams with backrooms-type areas in them. They’re not even always nightmares, sometimes just a brief moment in a drab, dimly-lit corridor. I think that’s why this concept is so terrifying and brilliant. So many of us have been to the backrooms in our dreams. It gives them a kind of reality. This video exploring the concept is also brilliant.

Eventually I figured I would see what was going on with my phone. I pull my phone out of my pocket and the screen automatically turns on when I lift it. The first thing I see is the time. Less than a second later I get connection back and the video continues without me doing anything and the first words are "The real horror begins at 3:53 am". Guess what time I was being shown on my lock screen when that audio cut in. I promptly shit my coveralls.

    30:33 I’ve got a theory. Its probably ‘the backrooms’ for an older time period. The industrial tools turn to an axe and wheelbarrow. The 80s wallpaper becomes 1800’s decorative pieces. Brutalist windows turn tudor. Maybe this is meant to imply that the backrooms, in one state or another, have existed for far longer than previously assumed. Thats also probably why it was dark. No fluorescent lights, you probably only had lanterns and candles to light the way
    I also guess the glitchy texture is that same wallpaper, but as if it was harshly cut down the side of the pattern.

    i suspect the entities may not intend to do harm to visitors given that we never see one actually cause harm. If Kane himself says that he doesn't want his characters to be seen as pure/simple evil then it suggests that their purpose is not to simply stalk and kill other visitors. If they are remnants of former humans then they could be compelled to run after other humans out of excitement, hope or loneliness, but because their form and "voice" is unsettling, we perceive them as threatening. This would explain why the one in pit falls called for help, and although one of them grabbed the cameraman in Found Footage, which appears like an abduction, it did technically save the cameraman from falling to his death.

    The pair of floating legs in Motion Detected makes me think that we’re not seeing an “entity”, but instead a regular person who is partially no-clipping into the Backrooms. They probably don’t even realize it and have no clue how close they came to entering a yellow hellscape. Also; the sounds of a crowd that the A-sync researcher heard in the Informational Video could have been the sounds of a real crowd in the real world. Maybe there was a no-clip point near to an actual crowd, and the sound of talking actually made it through the no-clip zone into the Backrooms. I think that’s a pretty cool concept. Also, considering the distortion of time in the complex, who knows WHEN those voices were originating from. It could have been any time period.

      I like your theory. It seems very likely that audio would be able to no-clip as well. I can definitely see that the legs are probably a result of no-clipping too. My theory runs along Wendigoon’s theory in that The Complex is trying to replicate humanity or human society but can’t quite do it right so the creature was trying to replicate a human but couldn’t accurately do so, which could be why the legs were floating, they could’ve formed at its shoulder or something. It probably doesn’t have an accurate idea of human anatomy yet.

It knows what it sets out to do, and does it. Not to mention, it has the best production values of any indie RUclips horror I've seen.

Something as simple and "mundane" as realizing your room has more walls than it's supposed to or spotting someone in a crowd for a split second, whose face is upside down.

    The thing about the lifeforms from the Backrooms that I noticed is that, even when they're not moving much and the camera holds relatively steady on them, their bodies kind of morph and alter. It looks like what a 4+-dimensional being would look like if it was intersecting into three dimensions - as it naturally moves, little bits of it slide in and out of our reality. I feel like this has to be an intentional design.
    Also, I think the blue chairs might be a little reference to Alantutorial.

The author Charolette Perkins Gilman was actually prescribed something known as “the rest cure” which basically meant she was confined to her home with little to no outside interaction and no activity such as reading or writing but it encouraged getting fresh air and sunlight. The story is about a woman who had been prescribed this “cure” by her husband who is a physician and they are staying in an old mansion and she is in a room that she absolutely hates due to the yellow colored wallpaper. She has been told that she is severely anxious and she appears to have a sort of postpartum depression because she mentions how she is afraid of being alone with her child. By the end of the story we can see her slow decent into madness as she begins so see an image of a woman trying to escape from the wallpaper and she thinks that her husband has been trying to get her out as well.

Entities include facelings, fingerlings, hounds, and snarfers. Each motel room has a refrigerator that can be stocked with exactly 7 bottles of almond water.

      @@freddice8156 Yes! I always found the backrooms much freakier when there was no monster. I frankly think the reason people started talking about a monster in the backrooms is to in a sense make it less scary. Being trapped in an unknown place WITH a monster in it is a concept that is much more familiar to people. As opposed to a place that just goes on endlessly, with no change, and no life besides you. But that doesn't make good lore, but it's much better at striking dread into people.

    in my opinion the backrooms was far more scary and original before a million levels were added and entities were added. the true horror of the backrooms was the face that you were alone and had no escape. there were always hints of there being SOMETHING in the backrooms with you, but the fact that nobody knew what it looked like or if it was even really there was far scarier

      To me,Backrooms now are more like a travel guide or some sort of a theme park that you can attend in case you have nothing better to do.
      Somewhere deep inside I hope that after some time of this bs some criteria will be created for Backrooms and most of the levels would be just re-written or deleted along with all the elements of comfort like almond water,wi-fi and people.
