Backrooms - The Third Test

This series about the backrooms is setting itself up to be a fucking masterpiece

[DissonanceEngineer]

For those wondering what the idea of this is, watch his first two Backrooms videos - this one in particular suggests that the purpose, at least the stated one given to the US Government in order to secure funding, was to be able to generate practically infinite amounts of rooms to be used either as storage space or even housing, which would save massive amounts of space and money. It looks like this would be footage of the first succesful 'breakthrough' into that other level of reality.
Easily my favorite take on the whole thing I've yet encountered and the execution is freakishly well done.

"Punch a hole into the universe and unleash incomprehensible horrors onto humanity"
"Why?"
"...storage"

[jowaa_c]

These are too good for me not to watch them over and over again. I can't even grasp how much time these must take, and yet they're edited so amazingly it's literally one of the coolest things I've ever seen before.

The concept of the back rooms being a man made horror to solve a problem is such a new and fresh take on the idea and I’m so here for it. Lovely art

[haydensmith]

Here's my interpretation. Perhaps Async thought that they could create the first artificial (human made) dimension in order to accomplish their objective to provide additional space for storage. However, in their attempt to create a new dimension, Async unintentionally opened a door to an existing one.

The Backrooms mostly have stuff that is also made by humans (the wallpaper, ceiling lights, carpet, etc) however, if an endless number of alternate exist then there's an endless variety in appearances. This means that such dimensions that have never been accessed by humans may still look human made in appearance .

Gordon doesn't need to hear all this, he's a highly trained professional.

[Chessy-TheWierdFormula]

The lore is really interesting. There's this theory that the Backrooms is a failed experiment, which explains why the levels and some entities are similar to our home (the frontrooms)

I like the idea that there are infinite parallel dimensions that are just blank matter, and the creation of a structure in one of these tabula rasas propagates like a crystal, building on itself, which explains the infinite fractal nature of the backrooms. Scientists meddled with one such dimension, using an old office building as the template, which is why the backrooms look the way they do. But of course in nature, crystals are very rarely perfect, which is why you see this bastardized version of reality in the backroom. Theoretically, the original office building template should be at the center of this universe. Any insects, bacteria, mold, fungus within the template would be altered in propagation. Pretty interesting lore.

I’m really interested to see how this is gonna turn out because that looks insane.

I love the futuristic dystopian aesthetic this animation is going for

[speedydoggo]

For those wondering why the voice sounds familiar, I believe the text to speech used in this is DECTalk. DECTalk was used in Moonbase Alpha as well as forming the basis of Stephen Hawking's TTS. Having gotten a hold of the program myself, kudos to Kane for hunting it down and using it. The uncanny inflection and odd pauses really adds to the atmosphere!

This right here is the kind of content that the backrooms deserves. Gives more information while keeping the original concept and mystery. And I can't appreciate this series enough for actually presenting the information in an aesthetically consistent found footage style instead of being some dude reading articles from a "backrooms wiki" over "spooky music" and a slideshow of liminal spaces.

Edit: This comment didn't name any individual channels/creators *because* I didn't want to drag anyone specific. It was meant as a critique on the current horror content culture as a whole. Please keep that in mind before naming someone and accusing me of dragging them down.

Finally some backrooms videos that actually expand on the lore of the rooms, and not just someone walking around early 2000s hallways, This is a dream come true and we better be getting more of this (Im not sure if that was supposed to be aggressive or supportive, or both)

[Enmeshedemnity]

A lot of this stuff is based off Einstein’s 1928 unified field theory, which is what they used during the Philadelphia experiment and Nazi bell. I love this series so much because it actually talks correctly about how this would be applied to the back rooms. They’re using pulsing generators that fold and plead space and time so that when a lot of electricity is shot into the middle of them, it creates another dimension. I love how Kane got this right.

[OrangeLapiz]

I love the sound of the “low-proximity magnetic distortion system” powering up. The clicking sound gives me this chill every time. The sound design choices really enhance the experience for me and I just wanted to say that I love the work you’re doing and I’m looking forward to seeing more

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

I feel like Kane Pixels has been doing absolute justice to The Backrooms with all the found footage masterpieces he's been dishing out. Everyone knew he had insane potential when he did "The Rumbling" Found footage back when people first found out about him, but he's surpassed everyone's expectations by a wide margin.

[tryingtomakeapropperuserna]

Imagine making a series so scary you get people to question if it’s real or not.

[DeC]

EDIT: i made this comment when the video was realized, i know, it's ASYNC and not MEG
Ok, this is my theory:
The scientists from ASYNC want to explore and make a door to the backrooms to turn them into a big residential hub to save billions of dollars (0:47), but it caused a glitch in the reality causing people to no-clip the reality.
Or it's an experiment (that would explain the form of the backrooms) made for the same reason

[aiden]

Ah yes, the best fucking backrooms found footage series with the most compelling lore that I’ve ever seen. Seriously this stuff is great Kane, keep it going!
