Speedrunners are definitely going to find a way to make use of this clipping out of the world glitch.

Honestly the concept of being trapped in never ending corridors is horrifying enough without needing a tri pod monster

"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

[bethmildren]

Imagine if you no-clipped into the backrooms and saw MatPat staring at a wall and furiously scribbling down something in his notebook

[BullyMaguireOG]

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.

[Yuuki-ndby]

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.

[SoniasWay]

Just the feeling of being alone and trying to escape a monster in some kind of an endless maze is absolutely terrifying

[nestendoiguess]

0:14 Fun fact about the moist carpet water! In the original lore of The Backrooms, the liquid in the carpet on Level 0 is actually not water, and is not safe to drink

[BetterDayz]

Normal sponsors: "Eat healthier" "Do you like MMOs?" "Save money!"

MatPat's sponser: "How about some friggin' Scotish land??"

[syn]

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.

[sentinelbeam]

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.

Bro I love how much matpat puts so much effort into a survival guide for a fictional place

[amithius]

"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

[melancholymaids]

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

[whenthemusicsover]

0:51 For those who might not know, 600 million square miles is literally TRIPLE the surface area of our entire planet!

[xzafir]

Being a giant Backrooms fan I love the optimism Mat has

[Chefsupporter]

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

[thatoneguy]

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

[FilmFightFanatic]

So this version of the back rooms could be an experimental form of “walkable” hyperspace….

[Nope-zqmw]

Imagine going into the backrooms and just seeing him wandering the backrooms and taking notes.
