Ok
imagine being in the backrooms and you see some dude speed past you and scream "LETS GO WORLD RECOOOOORD!!!"

"Jokes on you, I lost my mind years ago"
Unironically, this is exactly why MatPat would be the only person to find a way to survive The Backrooms

Ok
👀
fucking mrbeast and pikachu bots?
I already know how to escape and I know how to use the backrooms to defy reality itself
For those confused, there are multiple canons of the Backrooms. MatPat is taking about Kane's personal canon, not the wiki, liminal archives or the fandom.
I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand
Wiki dot and fandom mostly are the same
I’ve thought of writing my own…SOMEONE else ought to suffer as I have…(as in obsessing over this idea, not that I was actually there)
Man, I wanted to see him cover the darkness (floor 7).
@@carter_420 im pretty sure you mean level 6
I think that the "Don't move, stay still" wall writing isn't telling you to stay still when the Monster is around, but rather to not move once you have landed in the Backrooms until you have a reason to.
But Kane had to move to be able to find that wall? What are the chances somebody would noclip into that spot?
Either way it's not a good place to hang out at. If it was there would still be some people sitting there. That should be your first warning.
True
@@plutoplexus8656 true
the monster used to be a motion and noise detection camera, there's a comment on motion detected video explaining that meaning if u sstay still and dont make sounds it wont see you
Imagine if you no-clipped into the backrooms and saw MatPat staring at a wall and furiously scribbling down something in his notebook
I’d definitely survive with him lol
@@TheSkizzler same, but sadly, in level 0 you can never interact with people in any way, you cant see, feel or hear people, you and someone else could be standing in the exact same spot, but you will never interact with anyone again until you get to level 2 and beond
@@N0sta1ga Is this verbal only or is non verbal still viable?
Honestly the concept of being trapped in never ending corridors is horrifying enough without needing a tri pod monster
th-cam.com/video/XvF7xlZ9PWM/w-d-xo.html
😂
Yeah, the Backrooms suffers from some serious creepypasta power creep imo
from what i know the backrooms aren't just never ending corridor there are other floor with different layout, monster, rule etc...

Normal sponsors: "Eat healthier" "Do you like MMOs?" "Save money!"
MatPat's sponser: "How about some friggin' Scotish land??"
It sounds great in theory. Unfortunately, it's just an overpriced piece of paper...
@@frantaspacek Agreed. And too many people think that owning it officially makes them a Lord or Lady. If you think other Americans bragging about it is annoying, just imagine how us Scots feel T~T
@@frantaspacek
Not even a piece of paper. They give it to you electronically. You don't actually own or have any investment in that land, and (and yes I know this sounds like a conspiracy theory) you when tracing back who actually owns and operates the company it leads to Chinese servers that have no ownership of that land.
Basically, yes, this is a Chinese scam.
You guys are from Scotland while I'm from NEW Super Scotland U Deluxe
no I’m good am scot
Bro I love how much matpat puts so much effort into a survival guide for a fictional place
Somebody might be stupid enough to make it real, and kidnap us to try to survive as an experiment.
Good thing you're watching, for the likely chance that that'll be the case.
Bro, don't insult my home
One nitpick: The throwing shoes at the ceiling seems very disadvantageous. We know that the monster can hear and see so as soon as you start throwing stuff around and making noise, it'll probably eventually find out your location.
Another issue: what if you throw an item at just the right angle and with just the right amount of force? It might get stuck in the ceiling and then you’ll have one less item to utilize!
@@twocubez7848 than use your hand and jump
@@twocubez7848 if you have the rope, you could tie it around whatever you're throwing so you can pull it back down if it gets stuck. Or just throw one end of the rope, if it's heavy enough.
To be fair, you could also exploit that as an _ADvantage._ If you are being chased by a monster and feel like you might get cornered, duck around a wall and toss one item on your person (obviously the most expendable one you have) in a different direction so that it makes a noticeable sound to lure the monster away from you. Then backtrack and/or head away from the monster while it's busy investigating whatever you threw.
@@mrreyes5004 noted
"Don't go too far, I am not wearing pants," yes that is a great tip for others lol I'd probably summon the monster with laughter if I read that in the Backrooms
To be fair I’d prolly be leaving jokes on the walls in that situation too. At least leave something behind and give me something to do rather than just be scared and die

This isnt the backrooms the backrooms is a creepypasta consisted of not infinity but something trillion *levels* you do not get how frustrating it is seeing such a huge fanbase get ruined bu people who want to make it scarier for clicks there arent “monsters” (entities) on level 0 (first one) you cant just enter with gear and a planned route out of it, there isn’t anything chasing you and the idea is that the level is terrifying enough on its own, it isnt a infinite maze, there isnt an exit its literally a level
So that's why I found pants bear a writing. But why were they ripped and bloody? I just want to leave the backrooms
@@geeswithane7yrago303 the backrooms started as a super loose concept and any lore is fan constructed. Matpat is just following the lore of this new series which seems to be drawing slightly more inspiration from the original "prompt" than from the other fanmmade lore.
Being a giant Backrooms fan I love the optimism Mat has
About the vents, there's one potential issue with that. I've seen some non-official cannon things where dog like creatures with human heads reside in the air ducts. Of course this may not apply to the official backrooms, however it brings up the very important possibility that there may be more unseen danger in the vents then in the maze.
Just the feeling of being alone and trying to escape a monster in some kind of an endless maze is absolutely terrifying
It harkens back to the old Greek story about the Minotaur and the labyrinth
Agreed
Isnt it wierd that even before we Heard about this concept,most of us had this exact nightmare? Why do Most of us dream that we are traped în an endless maze with a monster chasing us?
@@AxylusMaximus tbh, the minotaur and the labyrinth are scarier than the backrooms, since the minotaur is more terrifying than the tripod monster and the labyrinth keeps changing so there is little chance of escape
This is just level 0, don't worry, no entities...yet
I feel like it's worthy to point out that I'm pretty sure he's talking about the lore in Kane's video's since there's a few differences from the wiki and Kane's videos about Level 0. And yes, there's more than one level, a lot more.
Kane's lore is much better tbh
I think a lot more is an understatement
Yes
@@BestLegend134 Fair enough! haha
yes there are, thousandths with more monsters and never before seen items for you to use and try to survive, so grab your almond water and get ready.
Imagine going into the backrooms and just seeing him wandering the backrooms and taking notes.
So I know I’m late, like a LOT, but here are some things that I noticed
Do not look in the filing cabinets, there can possibly be an entity waiting in there, and you won’t be able to escape it once you open it. And with the ceiling, (you can fact check me on this) I’m pretty sure that hounds, one of the entities in the backrooms, can fall from the ceiling, so they are most likely in that little space between the ceiling and the hanging ceiling.
That’s all, but you can fact check me on all of that!
While you may be correct, he's talking about kane's iteration of the backrooms. In this version there are no levels. No entities. It's just an endless void.
Oh, okay, thanks for letting me know!
@@EnderEye73 No problem!
It mainly depends on which interpretation of the backrooms is being used. This is the one where you just accidentally noclip into a seemingly infinite maze like structure(with variations) and a known monster. Not the ones where you're pretty much meant to die or only like 3 in every 100 people end up surviving the first few days.
@god of bacons Yes, but it's typically not known as an "entity".
I followed this guide and managed to escape the backrooms. Thank you so much. Now the problem is that i felt in a reality that is basically a dystopian nightmare on the verge of a nuclear war and i can't find a way to noclip back in the backrooms....
Did you find your way into Cyberpunk
Sorry to reply so late but you seem to have a very good internet connection since you can post comments from another dimension. Perhaps you could try checking where the signal is the strongest. If Wi-fi can noclip maybe you can too...
@@Brick_One_A_Lego_Story Jokes on you, in the wikidot canon there's wi-fi in the backrooms!
@@Deusestmortuus666 only on level kitty's house and maybe some more
@@Brick_One_A_Lego_Story bro
Kane did something amazing.
He gave the backrooms a proper backstory while respecting many of the original ideas. He's got by far the best idea for the story.

Somehow I found this video very useful, because all I could do is wonder what if I got caught by a sadistic persin and got trapped in a crazy maze that the kidnapper built or something.
About the drop ceilings Mat I used to be a maintenance man and have worked with them. I do not believe they'd be able to support a humans weight; while your description of them was correct the metal frames that hold the panels in place in my experience have always be fairly thin with just a wire holding the actual frame itself up. Now normally they are connected to wooden beams above and beside those wooden beams are thinner sheets of wood (like plywood or something sadly I'm not well educated in building construction, materials, etc) perhaps you could bust through that. Not sure if it would lead anywhere but I do agree you could follow the wires in the drop ceiling. I'm sure someone has brought this up before but I hadn't seen anything and figured I'd say something. Love the vids though buddy!
For anyone wondering, the Frontrooms isn't just a meme, it's an actual part of lore in the Backrooms universe. The frontrooms is supposedly our original plain of existence, where Earth and everything else is before you clip into the Backrooms.
Where are the Siderooms then?
th-cam.com/video/XvF7xlZ9PWM/w-d-xo.html
@@frogchamp. you need to noclip while noclipping into the backrooms to reach it
Ty, i didnt even know that was a part of the lore
@@liamassassingaming922 there is a theory that frontrooms is a part of backrooms as the travel method is backrooms is no clipping and you get to it by no clipping
you know the backrooms lore makes me yearn for a horror story with a smart cast, people who make all the right calls and still die anyway because sometimes you can't outthink an Eldrich God
You just described Cabin In The Woods. Like seriously, that's a perfect description of it.

Acctualy in the kane backrooms cannon it isnt
Youre talking about the wiki cannon
Sadly, this video's sponsor bit just got used by LegalEagle in their latest video on why ET is a sham, possibly even a scam.
It's been confirmed a scam.
I'm here after watching the Legal Eagle video to see if it was still here.
Disclaimer: all this tips work only in the kane's version of the backrooms, in "reality" the level 0 of the backrooms has either no monsters and no items, so, you'll be safe, and the only confirmed way get of there is to no-clip of there (which is basically getting out of bounds in real life) so wandering around is completely useless
Yeah and breaking or damaging the backrooms is literally impossible
Also it's non Euclidean
best you can do is find the book room in level 0, or figure out how to no-clip again into the wall, we all know not to noclip the floor, and find out new stuff in level 1 if your new
But everyone is talking about the monsters and stuff the mold and other stuff but the thing thats more terrifing to me is the wretched cycle

There is no escape though...
@@Iamlurking504 yes there is
6:56 That's the funniest joke I've seen him make in years.
I’m guessing what Kane was trying to explain putting 91 on the Clapboard even though the video was dated 1996 was that they didn’t find the camcorder with the footage until years later. Either that or time passes faster in the Backrooms.
The only problem with leaving traces and tracks for yourself is that you're also leading the enemy straight to you.
By the sounds of it they can only hear, so leaving tracks couldn't hurt
@@malachyhitchcock1727 Yeah you totally dont make noises when make marks on walls and throw your shoe at the ceiling
@@CRINGEG4MER In a place with dozens of possible paths to go. The monster has to know the exact directions, if it’s even close enough to you. If you know where it is somehow, you can mark it without having to worry

If it is a sentient monster or human enemy. Otherwise a beast would not really read and understand hints I guess.
I think the scariest thing about the backrooms is being alone and slowly going insane. Being stuck in a huge area all alone is definitely one of my biggest fears

I think the creepiest version of the backrooms is where there are no entities and everything is just empty. The thought of being alone and wandering those rooms forever is the most terrifying
only because you don't know that there aren't any entity and always dreading what you'll find around the next corner, always thinking what if there's a monster, not finding one makes it worse cause you think it's just waiting to jump scare.
@@missingkidnye9308 yes I agree. Somehow not knowing if there are any makes it more scary than knowing there are monsters chasing you
@@chrisstoltz3648 exactly. I think people had to make up monsters they could potentially beat or outsmart because the original concept was too scary for them.
i think the creepiest version is the one without any explanations behind its backstories, i think people try too hard to add something to a perfect concept, imo all these different new "levels" of the backroom and giving it a backstory made it a lot less scary
@@cementarii8458 true
something i love about the back rooms is just how loud your own footsteps are. anything you can hear has definately heard you. but i mean you can’t take off your shoes, the carpets moistened. wet socks are a fate worse than death

The issue with crawling into the false ceiling cavity is that typically those false ceilings cannot support any decent amount of weight. And definitely couldn't support the weight of any average human, they are usually only suspended from the real ceiling... You might be able to crawl along where the walls/roof meets because the wall should have weight baring capacity but that will be highly restrictive if the walk you are on doesn't connect to an outter wall.

At the end of the eighties I was working as a wallpaper hanger. When we received an order to wallpaper an office block of 600 million square miles, we first thought, how do we do that? That was pretty exhausting. And then the clients only ever wanted this yellow. We also offered them a nice green or a photo wallpaper, or simple woodchip, but no, they only wanted this yellow pattern. Anyway. We still had enough of them in stock (nobody else wants that) and could charge them a little extra. Since that assignment, I've had a villa and two Ferraris

No way! At 1:30 you showed Enter The Backrooms! I made that game!! I am so excited to see you covering The Backrooms. I would love to see you cover a backrooms game some time as well (even if it's not Enter The Backrooms XD)
If you want to explore the alternate "levels" of the Backrooms that people are talking about, the game has PLENTY of those. It also has entities, items, an insanity mechanic, and more. It's the biggest backrooms game on the market right now, so I recommend it to all Backrooms fans! =)

One thing to consider though is that we don’t know whether the monster can hear us and how good his hearing is, so making signs in the wall or throwing an object to make the roof move will make mass amounts of sounds. The monster could easily find you before you have an good lay out of the maze.
Also, the ceiling gap might have something already roaming inside it...
@@fatimafarid8066 it is not guaranteed tho it is 50/50.And we don't know if there is only 1 monster there could be multiple of them
a chair leg would work for this,or something to throw,we dont know if it even SEES or FEELS us,cause it has no eyes but knows he is there,so my best guess is 1. it feels us like a bat or 2. like you said hearing so throw something to test it,if it goes to it but not you its going by hearing if it comes to where it was thrown it somehow "seen" it come from you
@@fatimafarid8066 I'm actually really curious about the space between the dropdown ceiling and the "real" ceiling. I hope Kane explores that idea at some point. It would make for some real good horror with both the enclosed space and the idea of something chasing you in such a small area where you can't really run, you have to be on your hands and knees.
@@kovdhsama Spoilers if you're not up to date with Kane Pixel's series.
I heard the theory that since the monster is referred to by Kane as "Bacteria" and also because of that body found with something growing on it that the monsters are people who died. (They get reanimated as as those monsters, basically.) So the chances of running into one would be relatively low at first but as time progresses and more people die in the Backrooms there's more monsters and thus higher odds of running into one.
To help with the ceiling tile method, there's a method I learned from Minecraft, hit the holes onto the right side of the ceiling. The trick is that if you ever lose your way in a cave system, your torches on the wall will lead you back if you put them exclusively on the right side of the cave wall. With this method, you'd know if you were following a path you had already taken or had accidentally turned around, alternatively if you happened to make a campsite in the backrooms, you'd know how to find your way back to it.
The sponsorship in this video have not aged well
If you’ve been to the backrooms wiki, you know you don’t want to mess with the ceiling. The space above the ceiling tiles is actually another level, which is called « the attic » if i’m correct, and i’m pretty sure it’s a dangerous one
Or you might no-clip though it and get touched by a partygoer.
@@lolidkwhy8537 nah, level 19 doesnt have partygoers, just deathmoths.
If you noclip up out of level 1 there's a chance to get sent to level fun where you are instantly doomed, as there is no way out and partygoers everywhere.
That depends on your canon, this is just the Kane Pixels canon
@@aperturescienceguy2737 technically it isn’t confirmed there’s no way out, they just don’t say it.
What amazed me about the “people” who went it to the back rooms is that no one tried to knock down the walls to see the structure holding them up.
i think its actually specified that the walls are solid concrete behind the wallpaper tho i may be wrong
to knock down the walls is to create noise, and to create such a loud noise is to basically have a death wish
@@161friends you dont have to knock more than one down and if you did, its very unlikely the monster will know where you are in a 6 million square mile maze XD.
@@ttabros346 in a maze that big I doubt there is just a single monster.
@@jaredhayward5760 so we dont have to go far from the entrance to knock down walls
I would like to see someone who called into the backroom, and use all those advices to try to survive.
Pls re-upload the video without the sponsorship because your promotion is misleading. There's nothing legally official about the title your paying for.
I’d say to be careful with all of these strategies- we don’t know the intelligence of this monster. It could be able to read, failing that it’s more likely it could follow your trails right to you and even try to lead you off into the depths. Throwing shoes is loud and provides falling obstacles and a solid pathway for everything to follow. Also horror strategy rules state do NOT use the crawlspace
I _highly_ doubt the monster is that intelligent. It immediately charges at Kane on sight without bothering to use stealth, threw a chair for seemingly no reason (if anything, it's an anti-feat of intelligence since the sound of the chair hitting the wall signalled to Kane that the monster was there), and let out an obvious growl when it found Kane in front of the hole (if Kane just jumped down rather than turn around, the monster wouldn't have been able to grab him).
This is further supported by the Async personnel's use of the red trail rope that they use to find their way back; if there were monsters in the Kane Pixels Backrooms intelligent enough to follow trails, I highly doubt those scientists would use such an obvious trail to guide them back. And yes, we do know the scientists of Async are perfectly aware of the monsters since the recent Informational Video makes it clear that they know the dangers of the Backrooms (namely the policy that only groups of 3 or more should be permitted to enter the Backrooms, as there is safety in numbers). All in all, the Kane Pixels Backrooms' monster barely seems as intelligent as a wild feral animal, so leaving a trail on the wall would barely garner more than a moment-long curious glance from it.
@@mrreyes5004 Going off of other theories, there should be multiple monsters, they could have varying levels of intelligence.
Also, never ignore the idea that the monster is toying with him, knowing his end is near.
Sorry, but I'm not going to let this turn into a big running-around-in-circles thing about if the monster is intelligent. No, there is no sign that the monster was just toying with him. No, there is no sign that it understands that a trail on the wall left by a key or pencil could lead to an intelligent human victim. No, there is no sign that Kane Pixels' continuity is strictly tied to any other canon about the Backrooms besides the bare minimum left by the og picture, and he's free to follow his own canon and his own list of monsters without necesarily needing to include the dozens of monsters from other continuinities. We use evidence to arrive at conclusions, not a mess of "well we don't really know..." or "well maybe there are other monsters with high intelligence..." because that just isn't how logic works.
The fact of the matter is, the best strategy is still to be able to leave some kind of trail or sign of where you once were and/or where an advantageous location is, because clearly not doing so and just meandering through even with MatPat's disjointed-maze advice is just bound to get a wanderer killed purely as a result of getting a lost and getting dead-ended by a pursuing monster (which is exactly what happened to Kane). It may not be the best possible strategy, but considering the one monster we have seen has no evidence of being smart enough to discern the significance of a man-made trail left by a key or pencil on the wall, it's one of the few we've got. End of story. Peace out.
same
backrooms lore: entity 92 "sixarms" an entity attracted by stress. the more his victims are stressed the more the entity will be able to sense them and attemp to pursue.
The version with a lore is a lot more fun, but the original is a lot scarier in terms of existential dread
yeah, lore often ruins horror.
the backrooms have lore tho
@@akashafofo6939 personally I prefer the version with lore, even if it wasn’t the original intent. I prefer it because that way you may be able to have humans there, and create stories that aren’t just horror genre.
@@akashafofo6939 that is quite a false statement. i know youre gonna say something like “five nights at freddys” but not even the confusing lore will take away from your experience. a normal player of fnaf or any horror game will likely not know ANY lore, so if they find some, its gonna be very exciting, thus enhancing their experience. if you do know the lore, you could replay the game with a whole new perspective on everything. and like the case of fnaf, when they release a knew game, you’ll be happy to try to find any new lore that comes up. unless youve got like, major adhd or something that forces you to look for lore when you dont want to, lore is great for enhancing your experience while not taking anything away, if you dont care about it.
i know i only gave an example on horror games, but i dont know much about horror movie / tv show lore, but it would still be quite similar. rewatching with a new understanding can make you excited even when its just the same thing a second time.
tldr… lore enhances your experience in games or other media, but if you dont care about any of it, you can ignore all of it and still have the experience you want.
@@akashafofo6939 fear is in the unknown, after all.
The ladder could also be a useful weapon against the monster.
The backrooms monster may actually be blind, but have really good senses such as hearing and smell.

I'd love to watch a series where Mat is trying to scape a place like this.
An extended series as the time they created a puzzle video series would be awesome
Man everyone I go I see bots
I swear, this would make the perfect VR game. Probably the best thing that could be done with VR.
If you wanna play a backrooms vr game then you should try backrooms all seeing on rec room. It’s certainly not the best it could be but it sure is fun, scary and surprisingly immersive. It’s also fairly long for a fan made game. Me and some friends completed it in like 7 or 8 hours.
It's all fun and games until you remove the headset and nothing changes.
Theres a cool backrooms game on rec room
My VR checklist:
- SAO VR game
- SCP 3000 VR game
- Backrooms VR game

has anyone ever mentioned what the two actors in the first scene must have gone through watching their friend, the director, completely disappear into thin air? they were looking right at him as he no clipped out of reality
its amazing how the backrooms went from one picture of an unsettling image, to thousands of levels created by so many different people
its so sick

Many of them are absolute garbage, but there's some cool, creative stuff in there.

right. I love when youtubers indirectly promote smaller youtubers
Funfact: after 4 days of wandering around in the backrooms you'll find a way to the next level automatically. So if everything fails, that's the last option. Also time works differently so you probably won't get hungry or need sleep for multiple days or even weeks. The only thing you need to worry about is survival and sanity

this reminds me of the book called house of leaves, about a house that has an endlessly deep labyrinth that supposedly appear out of nowhere with a monster inside, and drives people insane. Even the text starts to fall apart in the book as you get closer to finding the truth. I highly recommend!
Ooh sounds good’
Yeah, House of Leaves did it first. Mindblowing book.
This sounds dope
Decided to research about the book a bit and opinions seem to be split on whether it’s actually good or just pretentious
@@risottopose9970 It's both. It's a great horror story with an amazing gimmick that challenges our preconceptions of what a book can be. Literary purists can scoff all they want but House of Leaves is a unique experience, an absolute rollercoaster of a horror story and an incredible literary achievement. I can't recommend it enough.

It's really fun to see the different levels due to how different they are
Your Established Titles ad is misleading. There’s nothing “official” about it.
It’s actually insane how there are literal BILLIONS of backrooms levels all uniquely designed and all uniquely terrifying. As well as tons of terrifying monsters and actually the creatures we se in kane’s backrooms are the dullers, large amalgamations of hardened carpet fluid which is a acidic when in contact with skin but harmless if using gloves or clothes. This is all lore stuff. And for those who say it’s not infinite you are right and wrong because the levels are billions of miles but there are levels that you simply cannot leave.
There are infinite levels, but not level zero... probably, but it's not like
the monsters aren't anything from existing backrooms lore; they're seemingly bacteria- or fungi-based, if the missing persons video is anything to go by
@@pixelator5312 Well of course, you can’t find any entities on level 0. So it’s definitely his own series only slightly based on the 2019 back rooms version (which isn’t even canon)

Hot take: the internet ruined the backrooms with all the levels and entities. The idea of overwhelming infinite loneliness was much greater then the weird death maze the internet made it
I'd love to see Matpat do like a survival theory for different backrooms levels
Only way to escape the back rooms is to no clip back out of it, as it isn’t a physical building but it’s own reality. Any “exit” you find or crawling through the ceiling will most likely just lead you to a different level of the back rooms.
and level 11 is closest to reality.
start ramming your feet into corners
Even no clipping back is impossible it will lead you to level 1
Yes exactly!
level 3999 can let you exist after completing tasks
11:04 - I agreed with a LOT of the logic in this vid, at least insofar as how Kane's version of the Backrooms works, _except_ for this point.
You could not PAY me to go anywhere NEAR a closed dumpster that I _can't see into from a distance_ when there's horrifying monsters about, let alone a _suspiciously convenient rope_ that _just so happens_ to be laying right next to it. My knee-jerk reaction on seeing the rope next to the dumpster is to think it's bait to lure in foolish prey (humans) for whatever's hiding in the dumpster to grab, and put as _generous_ an amount of distance as possible between myself and it.
I feel like this about almost everything there. Like when the walls said don't move was that a trick or genuine safety advice
@@johnnyringo5777 it might have been a trick by the monster
Ever play Dark Souls? lol
@@johnnyringo5777 If Kane based that element in particular on the expanded backrooms lore version, then it was _definitely_ a trap to keep him still long enough for the scribble monster to get the drop on him!
If you look carefully in the original vid, you can even see the scribble monster quietly stalking our guy just before he starts following the arrows between 2:46 and 2:49 (at the very edge of the shadowy spot.)👀👀
Same lol. Gotta check to see if its a chained dumpster before hoping in.
matpat: we can use a maze solving algorithm to get out of the backrooms
the backrooms: hippity hoppity non-euclidean space is my property
Honestly the backrooms is just one of the most creative and greatest creepypastas out there everything about is so unsettling and just some good horror elements
I’m going to leave a normal comment
Step 7: always conceal carry in order to have a starting weapon when you clip out of bounds. It may not work or be effective, but at least you have a ranged option. This would also provide a very loud sound option to use as decoy.
I doubt 9mm would do much against those monsters. That’s why I always conceal carry a barrel 50 cal.
I don't/wouldn't buy into the idea that something that looks like a bundle of dirty pipe cleaners is somehow immune to bullets, So i'd likely die a miserable death mag dumping the thing.
@@NarutoUzumaki-jg4pw get a cloaker involved. Watch them drop kick the monster. Watch them win.
@@clownintraining5944 I don't know what that is yet 😂 I love the backrooms concept, but compared to the SCP wiki their writing is so bad... I can't stay focused on it for too long. Hopefully the improve in the future.
Conceal carry the Death Star and pull it out to delete the entire backrooms.
7:34 also breaking ceiling tiles would be too loud and the creatures would get you
“Jokes on you I already lost my mind years ago!” Made me laugh so had 😭😭😭
Considering that this is only level zero of the backrooms: Notably this level has the specific trait of isolation, even if you clip into the backrooms with other people you will end up on your own
Easiest way to escape is to noclip to lv1 (jk)

Another tip when marking the walls is to start making them as high as you can reach and be marking the wall slowly lower and lower over time. That way you can have a better idea if you get back to a spot you can generalize how long ago that was.
But if you're just following the same wall, and you come across a segment you've already marked . . . wouldn't that automatically mean it was where you started?
@@eyesofthecervino3366 what is implied here is through that method you can more accurately estimate how big the segment is and how much time it would take to circle around it, if needed. Also it it gives a sense of direction when multiple sections are marked this way. E.g. While searching for an exit or trying to escape an attacker, you spot a marked wall, first you know "oh this is somewhere where i already was" secondly you know "the marking curves down to the left and is high up, so the point of origin is to the right of it if i follow" if the marking curves to the down left and is relatively low, you know that the point of origin is quicker to reach when you follow it to the left, tertiary from your point of view, if you can see multiple marked walls in this fashion, you get a very clear sense of direction, point is that you´d want to start your marking on the same side of each wall obviously, lets just say you mark the imaginary "west" facing side each time, that way you can always tell "that way is facing west, so i am going east"
@@Furry19931993
But this isn't like unspooling a line of thread behind you, then wandering freely. We're literally talking about walking with one hand always on the same wall. So if you find your writing again, you won't be crossing your path from another direction -- you'll literally just be proving to yourself that you've walked in a circle, like traveling around an island. You'd always come back to that origin point first. You know how big the island is from how long it took you, from the time you started circling it, to come back to the same starting place.
Am I missing something here?
@@eyesofthecervino3366 You say if you ever come across your markings again that means you just looped back around. That’s simply not true. In a mazy there would be plenty of places where you could spot a wall you already walked by earlier but from a different angle.
In those situations you can more easily gauge how long ago you may have passed that wall. It could have been a wall you passed minutes ago or even hours ago. That makes a big difference knowing that there is a connection from your starting point to where you are now.
Plus you ignored their point about it being useful in a situation where you’re being chased. Maybe you throw off the monster but you lost track of where you are. If you find your markings again you can find out how far back you came.
In a situation as dire as being trapped in the back rooms any and all information is useful.
@@sunkenship9552
Good point, good point. I'm not entirely sure, in either scenario, how knowing how far down the line you are would actually affect your decisions -- even if you spot a previously covered piece of wall, you're still committed to following the section you're on, and in the event that you're chased and have to re-find the line, the directionality (which you could tell from the scrape patterns) would be a lot more important than knowing how far down the line you happen to be -- but you're still right. Having more information is definitely better than not.

Too bad he retired. Would've made a powerful horror story..
Dude I really want matpat to take a look at the REST of the backrooms, or the "canon" backrooms. I really wanna see how matpat would react to the wild entities, bases/organizations, objects, and theories as well as different floors.
YES finally someone who knows about the other levels and entities
@@electro___ exactly
All Hail Jerry!!
But yes I agree absolutely, I feel he would have a wild ride with whats already written on the wikidot
Canonisity is sort of fluid but I get what you mean there is a lot more depth than what the videos show
Where can i look up this backroom lore?
Just a thought: if glitching out of reality got you into the backrooms, wouldn't glitching out of the backrooms get you back to reality?
you’d have to know how to do that. Mr Filmmaker in the video just kind of, fell backwards
you will go to another level
It could lead to either another level or your death
yes you could do that but in the lore you have a chance of going into the void (endless darkness)
or going into a more dangerous level
If you glich there your in level Fun which is bad , really really bad

One time while bored while I was still in High School, I made a little figure out of unbent and twisted paperclips. The Backrooms monster strangely looks a lot like that figure I made.

I like to see Matpat following Kane's spin on the Backrooms idea, Kane's version seems to be more simplistic. The canon Backrooms wiki seems to be a lot more complicated to digest with its creatures and level list.
Kane literally visits level 188 in the video
Oh yeah, the cannon backrooms are so much more deadly. These tips wouldn't do anything. Your priority should be to get to level 1 and find a settlement in the warehouse
@@hartleyharms4404 the moment mat said that he had some of the carpet water.... sadly that's all he needed to get a game over
@@Odessa0v0 the cannon is the backrooms wiki, it is much like SCP, a community-based lore
Kane’s version is kind of like how Marvel/DC/Video Game movies are always not as powerful as their original comic/game counterparts but is more realistic
This is basically a trapdoor spider method: food falls in and now you must track it down in the tunnel system which you make as your web. This might help with additional strategies.
There was once an episode of the Mythbusters where the tested a myth that involved getting out of a car that is sinking in water.
For those who have not seen that episode they discovered that if you stay calm, have all of your windows rolled up, and wait till the car stops and the water pressure equalizes .....you can open the door and swim to the surface and survive.
A while later the Mythbusters got a letter explaining how their episode actually saved the life of a mother and her child who's car fallen from a bridge into a bed of water just under it.
I get the feeling that this episode will definitely be saving lives for anyone who suddenly wakes up trapped in a building they don't know the layout of (either by random time portals or an actual kidnapping)
Great survival advice here 👍
Yeah, if I ended up somewhere like that, I'd be more concerned about being in a Cube scenario. Also, while a lot of what Mat said is good advice for real life being lost scenarios, there's so much extra concern from not knowing the physics or in this case, the creatures of the place. Going up into the ceiling could entirely be different physics, or different living things to be worried about up there. Also, while 99% of us probably wouldn't take wall scribblings as advice, part of me would really want to try staying perfectly still since that was the literal only advice anywhere to be found in that video.
Yea, im pretty sure the writing on the walls was done by the dullers

The other 9 duodecillion levels: are we a joke to you?
12:55 you aren't able to drink the water on the carpet, the wiki says it isn't safe for consumption.
The dates are definitely "day of filming" and "date footage was found" or something to that effect on the first video. It's to show how long it took the camera to come back to our reality after falling out of it. Has to be.
It was very interesting to see a logical approach to an illogical situation, and it's great that you're drawing more attention to the backrooms (maybe we'll get more non-text content like SCP has got, that would be awesome)
Having said that, as a few people have pointed out you're following Kane canon not wiki canon (which I respect, that's a lot of wiki entries to read) but even within Kane canon the Backrooms is pretty heavily implied to be in some sort of extradimensional space, or at least in another dimension, therefore might not have a physical exit. Those men in hazmat suits managed to force an exit/entry, but there's no garauntee it stayed open.
Regardless, it was interesting to see an outsider perspective on this.
It is also possible that some of those "missing persons" shown were the people in hazmat suits, after trying to follow themselves back using the rope, but the rope lead back to nothing.
