    The idea that The Backrooms is “a video game” that you simply no-clip into as you’ve mentioned, I bet speedrunners would find a way to escape The Backrooms through glitches and “mechanics”.

    the monster's screams kinda sounds like its saying "dont go" and stuff like that, and when the monster finally reaches the cameraman, instead of knocking him down, it saves the dude from falling down into the hole and most likely to his death. It seems to be trying to help the cameraman, but is too strong and likely kills a lot of its victims, hence the scary situation. who knows, could it be a human corrupted by the bacteria, barely hanging on to life?
    is this a job for the master theorist himself?

    I absolutely love how much research and science Kane puts into these episodes. Most horror episodes are just, “oOOoOoH cReEpY bRoDcAsT” but this is actually a really realistic project. Even better that the graphics add even more realism to it. Glad to see you’re just as obsessed with these as I am!

      Yeah this is the main criticism I have towards analogue horror, it's either mixed in with actual footage and has some semblance of reality to it(as in, it looks like it could be an actual tape at first) OR it's just a creepy and clearly made up PSA tape that tries to scare you. The reason this genre is scary is because it's blended with a lot of reality.

    About the monster, I have my personal theory on what it is. It most likely is bacteria but I also think it is more.
    This cluster of bacteria seems to have some sort of exoskeleton. During the brief moments we see it it maintains a basic shape, a long narrow design that mimics a human. It has legs, arms, and a face but a weird ejection on the side.
    With that being said I would like to direct your attention to something else. In the very first video there was a warning right before the monster was fully shown. It said “Don’t move, stay still.” Strange that it says that, shouldn’t you be running away from it? What could possibly be the reason?
    There’s only one thing we’ve found that in the backrooms that could detect motion, the cameras. You see, during the motions detected video, one of the cameras had a “microphone failure” and shortly after that it shows the creepy “motion detected” scene. My guess is that this bacteria doesn’t just walk around as a culture, it “infected” one of the cameras and used this body as a way to move around. It also has a very similar design to it, two arms and one leg (the same amount of limbs on the camera stands), along with a weird protruding stick (which is the stick used to adjust stands from what I know), and the final thing being it’s head (it’s the camera).

      Pretty sure motion cameras can’t differentiate if something moves in front of them or you move them in front of something. So if its a camera wich moves on his own, how could it know if you move or don’t move? Either way it sees movement.
      That this monster looks human even tho its most likely not can be explained with converged evolution.
      Maybe its just a wolf or smth but glitched. Just look at footage of fallout 76 after it got released, when the backroom is simulated there could be way worse glitches.

    • @geekygamergirl7259
      @geekygamergirl7259 2 ปีที่แล้ว +47

      I honestly had that thought the moment we were introduced to the cameras. I mean MatPat even compared the basic structure of the monster to a tripod the very first time he saw it. I even thought to myself in the motion detected video before they decided the shape was legs "Hey. That reminds me of the 'arms' when school textbooks talk about bacteria and cells!"

      To be honest, we probably should've figured this out way sooner. It's been known for a while now that irl space and time are actually closely linked together (IIRC some physicists are actually starting to think that time and space may actually be part of the exact same thing instead of different ideas). This means that if the Backrooms really are disconnected from conventional space (and indeed it is), then it makes perfect sense that the flow of time is also out of wack.

    It’s also possible that the entity could be one of the motion detecting tripod cameras covered in the bacteria. Those only activate when they see movement, and the writing on the wall from the first video advises you not to move while the monster is near, so the possibility does make sense. The bacteria could have spread from a nearby wall onto the camera, and used it as a makeshift skeletal system to move with. The entity also has a very rigid way of moving, which could be due to the tripod’s legs being very stiff, or just animation limitations. Either way, it’s an interesting possibility.

    I think the backrooms monster is some sort of mutated camera. It could be one of the cameras in Motion Detected because the creature seems to be attracted to motion("don't move" written on the wall in the first Backrooms video) and also records its victims' screams because the camera starts recording when it detects loud sounds, making it able to imitate humans like you see in Pitfalls.

    7:00 No. Not dumb. When you are in an infinite maze, the capacity to build walls is perhaps one the most useful things you can have. By building walls, you can simplify the maze, making it far easier to navigate - particularly if you're using colored lanes and signs to indicate where you are. That means it's also easier to remember the layout of a given area. Additionally, by building rooms and closing them off with marked doors, you even further simplify the maze, because you reduce the necessary navigational area. Even further, you can close off any undesirable passages that lead to dangerous zones within the maze, making it far safer to traverse.
    Don't underestimate walls, MattPat. They've been a genius invention that's lasted us for thousands upon thousands of years.

    I guess what I immediately thought of when I saw the Backrooms was the story of "The Yellow Wallpaper" which was written by a British author about a woman who had gone crazy while being exposed to such a hideous yellow wallpaper. As she continued to stare and observe it, she soon became obsessed with it, even hallucinating a woman trying to break free from the interior of the design. This can kind of reflect into the Backrooms, where the main character is trying to find a way out of this yellow wallpaper.

I believe September 23, 1996 was the date the footage was FOUND, when the recording was made July 4, 1991. Could be important.

    Actually Mat, since you spoke of the timeline here, I noticed something intresting.
    In the informational video where the 4th Async employee goes missing, at the end of the video he stumbles across that weird room where the alarm goes off.
    And remember how at the start of the Motion detected video Async has started building a room inside the Backrooms?
    Those 2 rooms look VERY similar, in fact I believe it is the same room if you look close enough at the blueprints and details, *which indicates timetravel is at play here*
    The employee got lost and time travelled, and arrived back when this room had been completed.
    This is even more confirmed by the date on the first video, where the guys started recording in 1991, yet the description says 1996. Kane fell into the backrooms in 1991 and then at some point time traveled to a point where it was 1996

    Theory: Theoretically speaking, there is an infinite distance between any 2 given particles if you are small enough so if the backrooms were actually just super small with a some how seamless transition while shrinking/"falling in" that would explain the size of the bacteria, how no one ever gets seriously hurt when falling large distances, and the seemingly infinite volume of the backrooms.

    the new episode "pitfalls" is extremely interesting with the lore. The episode is dated 5/6/1990, and as seen at the beginning the structure the team was building is finished. What's interesting though is that this room is clearly the same room seen at the end of "informational video", which is dated 2/29/1990, when no such room existed. On top of that the names of George and Marvin(Marvin being the one to fall down the hole in "pitfalls") appear in both episodes as the group of three we see disappear in "informational video" and the main group in "pitfalls". This means that the one to disappear was our camera holder in "informational video" and he must've time traveled in some aspect.

      No, it being correct doesn't change the fact that biological matter is entering. It doesn't suddenly mean they are digital. It's just as likely to prove a corporeal construct in a dimension beholden to new laws of physics.
      But yes, it could also just mean the whole world is a digital game and the backrooms is storing unused assets

    • @salihm4531
      @salihm4531 2 ปีที่แล้ว +51

      I'd think that, following the theory above, it'd make more sense to me if the entities were actually like some form of firewall. He stated that reality itself was a simulation and the backrooms were merely storage for the unused parts of the simulation, and if that's the case, it also means that something created the simulation, and wouldn't want to leave the 'construction site', IE the place where all assets of the simulation are stored, unprotected.
      And so they created a firewall to protect the storage 'file' from malware, or unwanted access from humans, rather. Most likely the creator(s) of the simulation would be aware of the glitches, also, so its not all that surprising that they'd know to protect the assets from corruption from the humans, who themselves would technically be an asset stored away somewhere in the backrooms.
      Another take could be that the creatures are what's left of humans who got trapped there.
      Having an asset--humans would technically be an asset stored somewhere in the backrooms--explore the place where assets are stored, would probably cause some form of corruption to the data. Perhaps the entities within the back rooms are humans who did something within them that caused their data to be corrupted, thus turning them into the creatures.

      What about an AI, like the ones we train to play mario brothers and other video games? Those are evolving programs that change their routine, literally changing the shape and structure of their code, based on what they encounter in the simulation. If such an evolving system had a physical presence inside the simulation, how might it be rendered? And how might it adjust itself, how might it be shaped, when encountering humans?

    I’m willing to bet that the monster we see in the backrooms is the product/creation of mankind itself. The fandom loves to refer to the monster as the “ Tripod Creature “. My thought here is that the monster is the spawn of some type of bacteria accidentally introduced to the backrooms by Async. My theory is that enough of this bacteria clumped together into one of those Voltron creatures and then attached itself to one of the camera tripods that the Async employees set up. This would allow the bacteria creature to move and capture things quicker instead of being some slow and gelatinous blob.

    A minor correction on the history the term: "no clipping" originated from Commander Keen (a 2d platformer) as a type of cheat, with the name referring to "clipping" the movement vector (meaning cutting off the part that would be blocked by an obstacle. The term then entered popular usage with Doom 2's use of "idclip" as the code to trigger no clipping. The usage to refer to bugs came later as more companies made full 3d games.

    I love the concept of the backrooms, just the unsettling area suroundng it, that extra layer of realism that makes it so terrifying to have it show up in your dreams, its why i like kanes ideas that hes implemented, and his own little universe hes created, a world with a layer of realism and an unsettling space surrounding it. I dont like how people have kinda botched it the way they have, adding way too much stuff through it, and setting it as its the original instead of just trying to create their own world, like adding over 10000 floors with their own individuality, over 1000 monsters roaming ever floor, and every floor having a ton of items you could use. Takes the scary out of it, The feeling of loneliness and helplessness with a thought of "Is there something following me" makes it the most terrifying thing ever.

    My favorite theory about the backrooms by far has to be the one where someone suggested that we accidentally created the backrooms but don’t have control over them. The concept is that scientists took a room and scanned it, and then had computers generate hallways and storage areas; this would explain the way the backrooms have an ai-generated vibe, how things won’t connect properly, and if they were created under the control of computers, then it could make sense that they would involve glitching and other digital issues. I think that the backrooms is a real space, but since the rules for how that space works was laid out by computers, we get glitching and no-clipping anyway. The other terrifying aspect that was suggested was that if human beings scanned a room for computers, that its highly unlikely that the room would be completely sterile… meaning there would probably be bacteria. The bacteria in this room, when replicated (and then possibly corrupted or mutated) in the backrooms, could lead to the bacteria monster we see in the first upload

Almost like a puzzle/platformer game and a bit of rpg with the exploring,monsters, and the end being a very. Late level (level 3999).

      As the camera fell to the ground after the attack, the next cut already showed that it was falling into the Earth. My theory is if you are stuck in backrooms you can get back to reality by throwing yourself heavily to the ground or by running into a wall. You just need to find a bug

      Well they're not really "in groups", and on top of that, the monster, or monsters, shift forward and backwards on time. So it's not like there's a certain point in time where people started to pop up. For all we know, you could be sent before the monster existed, or even be sent to a new oldest visit

    Now that matpat has made the analogy of the back rooms being a “simulation” of sorts I think I have a theory of how there are so many different versions of the back rooms. The basics is it’s evolving, jumanji style. It began as simple images of liminal spaces, changing shape and/or form as needed and throughout the years it evolved with technology. That’s why in the videos the whole place looks like a video game. It is *reflecting* the technology of its current time, meaning that as time passes, the back rooms evolves, maybe even becoming more complex and as a result, more dangerous…

    fun fact: The very first dream I had in my life that I can recall took place in a space that looked suspiciously like the Backrooms. The only differences were that the place was mostly grey instead of a dirty yellow and there were radiatiors on every wall with grey dustbunnies underneath.
    I was lying on the floor on my belly as if I just tripped and fell and looked directly at all the dust under the radiators. This is bascially the only memory of this dream, but it stuck with me ever since, and when I first heard of the backrooms I immediately thought of it.

    Async could also be a clever little nod to 'Asynchronous programming'. In game dev (and software deving), the abbreviation is Async. It doesn't make too much narratological sense, but it could just be a surface level allusion to it as async is used to execute tasks which can be done where at each step of the process, you'd start a task, then turn your attention to tasks that are ready for your attention rather than take something step by step.

    counter argument to the random items theory: The items could just be items that, much like people no-clipping, were at the wrong place at the wrong time, and clipped into the backrooms. Or they could be a past explore's lost items that have been left there in their travels to try and escape. [ Update ] I would also like to add that the "Map" of the backrooms can't used because it only shows level 0. Let me explain: In the backrooms found footage video Kane visits more than just level 0 he visits multiple levels, (I was kinda surprised that Kane didn't die, because he visited some pretty dangerous ones...)

      Most of them sound like things that have clipped. I suppose when you can't find something you knew you had somewhere, it might have clipped into the backrooms. I suppose if you ever find it later it might have clipped back out. "Where did I put that screw drive?", "I could have sworn I bought snacks last week."

After it was discovered it created a spike in people no clipping.

  • @ghostpaper3614

    I came to the same conclusion as soon as I heard about "no clipping" into the backrooms. That's not a term people use when passing through matter, etc. The common term is "phasing", as in "That girl phased through that wall like a ghost!" So if "no clip" is terminology used in that story, it is referring to a digital construct, so either the world/reality is a simulation, like Elon Musk believes (or so I've heard), or it's a video game.

From what I read (Though I was limited to the websites my school allows, so I'm sure this might not be right), the first person to believe that the Earth was hollow was the man who founded Halley's comet, Edmond Halley. He came up with the idea because he had gathered information from something that involved the magnetic pole of our planet and saw how the differed from one place to another. So, he came up with this Russian-doll nesting idea about our Earth and how, beneath our crust, there is another layer of our planet with space in-between, sustainable for human life, and under that crust was another crust with the same aspects and so on. Some people even took that idea and added entrance points at the poles, though, I couldn't find anything about those **Completed** expeditions to find those entrances. So yeah.
