Backrooms - Missing Persons

02/03/1990

[PurposelessRabbitholes]

I legit could not tell this was animated, holy fuck. Well framed, perfectly paced, sound work is great as always… incredible stuff, man

[EckhartsLadder]

Aw man, a missing two year old? Presumably lost to the back rooms? Brutal.

[SuperNerdyBros]

I think the most disturbing part of this is that there are children noclipping into this isolated place with no form of food or resources to help them live

[oropendola]

I should note that two of the phone numbers which were posted on the flyers for Nicolas Bolton and the unnamed man at 0:17 have area codes located in the Bay Area (707 and 925, respectively). Given that the unlisted video shows news reels of the Loma Prieta Earthquake in San Francisco, as the well as the presentation showing the location of the facility being somewhere in the Bay Area, I might pinpoint that the facility is most likely in San Jose, as the actual epicenter was in the Santa Cruz Mountains south of SJ. On top of the test being the cause of the earthquake, it's possible that the majority of the missing persons took place in the Bay Area, with the two probably originating in Sonoma/Napa/Solano and Alameda/Contra Costa counties respectively. The lore goes more and more deep from there...

This series is so damn good like honestly well done <3

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

It continues to amaze literally everyone on the platform on how realistic you can make these episodes feel. Keep it up, Kane.

[Laurie_Ramone]

the way it cuts from the graph of missing persons cases to the slowly zooming in shot of the portal is just -- on a whole other level of inspired

[kayzeaza]

Idk about anyone else but I literally got chills when the graph all of a sudden started rising. The music and everything, it’s just so good!

I love how this tackles a part of the backrooms I don’t think I’ve seen very often; people would go missing with no explanation, their families and friends would just remember them being there one day, then gone the next, the fact that these missing people likely met a fate similar to this guy adds to the horror of the backrooms. Most people aren’t prepared like these scientists, they’re alone, scared, and have no idea what’s going on or where they are.

[gabbnabbit]

My man is singlehandedly creating the best backrooms story ever told

[Dr.Frasier_Crane]

It’s crazy how real this looks. RIGHT into the dream of this confusing reality. I always had dreams of this as a child. But not as a deadly version. It’s crazy how we all think..

[crowonthepowerlines]

The body we see at 2:00 is just below a hole similar to the one in the "Pitfalls" video. If the backrooms are a space between realities then this could be someone from another reality.

[DragnSly]

It's amazing how something can have no jumpscares or excessive gore, yet still be so unsettling and disturbing.

[scrimmybingus]

I’ve been floored by one simple aspect of this series this far, it’s your understanding of THAT soundtrack. That particular FEELING when you hear the synths chords kick in and the missing persons graph starts climbing, the sinister sounds that play when the hellish layout of the back rooms starts to reveal itself, it feels like it’s been UNLEASHED or something. I’ve been trying to replicate this kinda sound for years and you’ve hit the nail on the head, BRAVO sir.

[ELI]

I didn't see anyone else point it out so I'm going to, but the smaller spike on the missing persons graph perfectly corresponds to the third test in 1988

WHO IS STOPPING ME FROM CALLING THESE PHONE NUMBERS

[ayyewalkdaplank]

I love how this looks like an actual movie.
If there was a way/petition or something to show it in the cinema, I would sign this without hesitation.
I also love the idea of "Scientists" (I guess you can call them like that) pulling a red rope after themselves so they won't get lost.
Especially on the number Zero.






Also, The animation is top tier. This is the most wonderful Backrooms videos I've ever seen.

[HotraOfficial]

Normally, making a 3d model walking naturally is REALLY, REALLY HARD. But this young man managed to make everything look so real. Props to this prodigy 👏👏🙌💯

[KykyTheGreat]

I feel so bad for the toddler! First he is maybe at home playing or something and next he just teleports into the backrooms in the middle of nowhere never to see his family ever again.

0:39 For a split second you can see James Esmall's missing person poster. This shows up as tattered garbage in "I remember"
