He’s covered the backrooms, now when will MatPat teach us the lore of the SCP Foundation?
+1
I don’t really trust him to get all the info right but oh boy would it be entertaining
I would love to see that actually
@@memefied4253 Kane Pixels' version of the Backrooms is better than the Backrooms Wiki version in my opinion. Besides, why explain the lore of something when it straight up just tells you the lore?
I don't think its plausible because the SCP Foundation is collaborative fiction across hundreds of canon stories. Its gonna be like summarizing every single analog horror and/or Alternate Reality Game into a single video, just makes no sense. However, a single canon tho like my favorite Antimemetics division would bw cool
The fact that The Backrooms try to mimic our reality means that there could be an entity in the form of MatPat that chases you around and shouts, "THE LORE! I HAVE TO SHOW YOU THE LORE!" then kills you is deeply horrifying...
Ahh yes, He chases you around and then he grabs you in a vice like grip. All the while he keeps babbling about everything being simulations, timeloops, layered realities and conspiracies. Saying that random groups of people or fictional charaters are actually possesed by ghosts of children, impostors or AI. Every once in a while he concludes his ramblings and you think you can escape while his maniac gaze loses it's intensity before shouting: "But tHat's juSt A TheoRy, a _ _ _ TheoRy." And then he starts over again with a new possibly contradicting story. You finally losses consiousness out of chock, pain and fear as he peels the skin of your limbs to try and show you the endoskeleton beneath. "But tHat's juSt A TheoRy, a _ _ _ TheoRy."

Pov:When you talk to the first diguised yiga clan member in BOTW.
So freaky. Thats the best prt of a good found footage/analogue horror imo
Reply 5, wish he got hurt a little
The reason why it says "thats not a person, thats not a Person Beacuse It Was censord Beacuse It Had "fucking" In it so its "Thats not a person, Thats not a Fucking Person!"
To add to this theory: "Overflow" could very well be referring to a buffer overflow. For those who don't know, in computing, a buffer overflow is when a part of a computer's data exceeds its specified storage capacity. When this happens, the overflowing data ends up in a different part of the computer, which can cause glitches and weird effects. It could be that the green light is a buffer overflow occurring, overflowing from one instance of the simulation to another one, at a different point in time. This could also explain the time jump that Peter experiences - it could be that he's actually been relocated to a different instance of the simulation that's not in sync with his first one. Even the word "async" fits with this explanation: the time jumps are a result of jumps between instances which are running asynchronously.
ah yes the classic buffer overflow hack. maybe SCP overflowed and gave us backrooms.
underrated
that is really smart thinking
There's also the fact that an overflow can reset a value back to 0. When performing additions in binary 1+0 = 1 and 1+1 = 0 (which gives you an extra bit that you need to carry to the next position on the left). So if we have a 3 bit memory slot (just to keep it short and easy) it would go something like this: 000 (0) -> 001 (1) -> 010 (2) -> 011 (3) -> 100 -> 101 -> 110 -> 111. So at 111 we've reached the end, right? So what happens if we add 1 again anyway? Following the same rules as before we loop back to: 000 and have 1 extra bit that should be carried to the next position (if we had 4 bits of room 111 would have become 1000). Not (or incorrectly) handling these overflows in either software or hardware can have very weird effects because it might corrupt something outside of the assigned memory space or cause something to loop over and over.
@@thierryvt true, actually, I never thought of that!
Intro theory: MatPat got stuck in the back rooms but decided to start analysing everything, he then found out so much that he scared the back rooms creatures away from him at first sight, now he roams the halls explaining the lore to helpless people, driving them insane
actually he knows how to survive in it he explained some ways to navigate so yeah idk about the entities
me who had brought ear plugs: "perfecto"
This is so my headcanon now
MatPat casually just telling people information that, like Lovecraftian Horror, drives people insane because their minds are not able to withhold such information. Wonderful.

@@phoenix-vp3uzstfu
Yes, was the best part, because you feel the realisation of HOW wrong something is.
Wait, only now I wonder who are the voice actors ._.
My theory has always been the backrooms are a barrier between the other dimensions and our world, which are meant to trap lesser monsters by tricking them into thinking they broke through into our world. Building this huge, maze-like creation between dimensions has created some faultlines in our world where the creation isn't properly fastened.
other "instances" of the simulation we live in. if something goes horribly wrong in another simulation, it collapses into the backrooms. The beings who created this simulation were smart enough to include a barrier between simulations, so when one collapses, it collapses into that "midway", instead of into another simulation. But sometimes, this simulation glitches, and part of it turns into a direct reference to the Backrooms, creating "portals".
Why has Mat never mentioned the coughing some of the people are doing? I always assumed it was because of the bacteria infecting them.
Better question: why is this comment underrated?
I can always rely on Mat Pat to give an existential crisis from a series about bacteria and time travel

One thing to mention. Kane confirmed that the earthquake was NOT caused by A-Sync. Which suggests that during First Contact, the earthquake actually helped the experiment to open a portal to the Backrooms. Love this series! Kane has done an amazing job!
Also Kane didn't take any inspiration from the original backrooms he kinda just made his own version of it
@J U D M Besides the main concept yeah, it’s really impressive what he’s created from the premise of a creepypasta
Who all want a Wednesday video Spam the comment so that he'll se it
Ya the earth quake destabilized the machine causing more portals
Yeah, Kane is doing it pretty great, I want to do cool stuff like what he does.
I love Kanes interpretation on the backrooms so much, before it was an open idea for anyone to add onto with their own entities and levels (it still totally is) and to be honest it was a bit messy but he’s made such a beautiful video series with a backstory/story line that wasn’t there before it’s really xool
Interesting fact about the term "overflow": It's a programming term as well. "Integer overflow" occurs when two numbers are added together and the result is larger than the data type can hold, causing the result to wrap around back to the minimum number. It's a very common thing to see programs crash because a careless programmer didn't check for overflow and to see a normal-looking number, say "seconds that this program has been running" loop from "32,767" to "-32,768". If you then feed that garbage number into other areas of the program that are expecting a sane value, it can create all sorts of havoc. Like, oh...if a simulation of reality had a number like "number of rooms" and it suddenly overflowed from a very large number in the billions to a very large NEGATIVE number in the billions because a hacker went and added a whole bunch of new space.
I love how they paid a small tribute to Nathan Barnett. He’s been putting so much effort into his career for many MANY years without stopping he deserves so much more recognition for his efforts and talents

Thank you for linking all of these together in a chronological order, and help make some sense of the timeline (if you can call it that)
In a general way of how the Backrooms operates, it largely reminds me of the Upside-Down from Stranger Things. In the last bit of the video with the house in real life and in the backrooms, it seems as if they are taking place at the same time, just like how in Stranger things, the Upside down can be happening at the same time as reality. With the vines in the other room, it gives it even more of the vibe. Wasn't sure if this was important, or the maker of the video/lore/concept took inspiration from Strangerthings, etc.
I just imagine the backroom monster keeping matpat alive and letting him roam the backrooms so that if they meet again, it can listen to his new interesting theories about the backrooms after having a boring day walking around.
No
I prefer 5 eyes (Broogli) theories as he’s a better tour guide

Now the bots are using the hatred for bots to try and get clicks
Yes
The fact that Kane lined up the creation of the backrooms portal with a real life earthquake is so freakin cool. Those kind of details are insane
And lend-lease.
Absolutely genius
Which is essentially the plot to the videogame Quake. A massive earthquake causes a pan-dimensional rift.
MatPatRooms just randomly popped into my mind and idk why but it's giving me great joy of the idea where the walls and floor and monsters are just Mat of the Pat and the theories of games, films, food, and style are just everywhere as well. Lol
The fact that he took all this time to create this video huge respect

Kane Pixels has created one of the most original and compelling narratives I’ve ever seen. The storytelling is absolutely phenomenal. Add in his superb visuals and you’ve got the best content to come along - in any medium - in years. I hope he continues to expand this story. I’d say that I’d love to see his Backrooms turned into a series of films, but I’d be afraid that a major studio would screw it up. Better to just leave it up to Kane.
He did good, but I did the idea first through the medium of music in my album "the outbreak" a soundcloud exclusive which was probably the origin of a backrooms at all because of my story the DOD magician which is about an entity able to come and go between a backrooms like space fighting these creatures.
well i wouldnt say any medium, thats a bit much.
and he’s only 17, so impressive.
@@YahNation Seriously trying to claim the idea of the backrooms as your intellectual property man? That's a bit much. There's always been stories of people going to parallel or warped versions of our own world (Stranger Things is an easy example). Add in video games and glitching into a glitchy mess of a world that is the warped idea of our own human centric spaces isn't exactly much of a reach. You're just someone who had an idea that was similar in essence and didn't capitalize on it.
@@Leopardts Never claimed it as intellectual property, albums exclusive to soundcloud and not copy written to allow other creators to get involved. Backfired that I didnt copywrite it so it belongs to the community now. Moved on from that project years ago, I actually love seeing all the things people create based off the concept album and short novel (which btw was released over a decade ago).
Mat pat has changed my perception of what’s scary: I will watch a new theory and be scared out of my mind, and then I’ll watch a ton of scary theories I’ve already watched to fill my mind with nightmares I’ve already had so I know I can handle them.
When you said “stuff that didn’t fit” that reminded me of a scene form the amazing world of gumball where a character was so boring that she was sent to a place where mistakes and stuff was.

Dude never fails, he made a whole dang timeline for the backrooms. Mat Pat does not disappoint us.
@here is the full clip Thank you BOT! ... Wait did I give you attention!? Noooo!
I think that the different time anomalies and past and future objects in the back rooms proves that it’s a simulation, because if a simulation was created and ran on a computer, everything that will happen is already coded into the simulation. In other words, everything that has and hasn’t happened yet in the world has always been happening concurrently and will happen again infinitely many times

Bro figured out almost all of the Backrooms lore from a single mug. This guy is talented.😀👍
So according to MatPat, the Backrooms's bacteria monster actually a red herring. It isn't the real horror lurking in the backrooms; what is the horror is that by simply interacting with the backrooms you allow holes to form in our reality draining into it. And over time those holes will get bigger and more prevalent. Eventually all of our world will simply be sucked into the Backrooms and be assimilated into it, like a home crumbling into the sea.
Honestly I'm kinda scared I'm a teenager and scared to death is this gonna happen
The idea of the universe falling into itself and becoming a mess of illogical hallways and warped creations is honestly a bit terrifying.
Sounds like someone is installing too many mods onto their copy of Reality. Remember people, Reality is not a Bethesda game: do NOT install the infinite money mod, it will glitch out your moral compass, and you'll end up with people no-clipping out of Reality and mammoths flying overhead.
I disagree. The bacteria monsters are not a red herring but the focus of a plot twist. So, Matpat and us theorists have focused on the tangible motifs of Kane's backrooms: its fearful entities, its disruption of time and space, and its exploitation by ASYNC. But there's a less-tangible motif: while some of the glitchy videos we see are the symptoms of reality tears (that Simpsons one), others are CLEARLY manipulated by an elusive intelligence, leaving clues and warnings (Autopsy Report, Home_27467). I think, at least right now, that the source of that intelligence is the bacteria. The entities will become the protagonists.
@@calebpaez-98 it's just a show :/
19:42 On google maps, there used to be a 3d image of the backrooms in that very spot if you went into street view. Everyone thought it was just a prank that some kids pulled, but I think it is possible that Kane himself, being a smart kid, put that image there. There was another spot just like it on a coast near the ocean with the same image of the backrooms posted on the street view. I think this could possibly tie into "I had a home once, a manor, overlooking the sea". Edit: They removed the image shortly after so you dont need to go looking for it. There are many videos on youtube though showing what I am talking about.
Is it the one with the big hole in the middle? If so, that one was created by a channel called “Billy le robot” which unless Kane Pixels made that as well, isn’t related.
@@dazedbirb7350 No the one MatPat looked at used to have a photo of level 0 with no hole in the middle.

There is an image of backrooms in the photos by google maps section! This might just not be a theory anymore
@@jayant7753 you ppl are actually making me believe this is real...
As a massive Greek mythology nerd I can't help but compare the infinite randomly-generated expanse of the Backrooms to the lore of Daedalus' Labyrinth, and specifically the added lore from book 4 of the Percy Jackson series titled Battle of the Labyrinth, which introduced the premise of locations popping up all over the globe where people are falling into the Labyrinth, almost like they no-clipped into the Backrooms.
ok this is a REALLY good film theory that makes a LOT of sense. It gave some more perspective than the ideas i had from the series :)
I love how the models are fairly low poly count but the combination of textures and the VHS filter makes it look high quality, it's impressive
This is actually why you remember older games being so high definition. Textures, sprites, anything that was designed to work with a CRT Tele, was specifically designed to look as high def as possible, on those screens, which is why playing those games on newer televisions looks very dated. I recommend looking it up, it's actually very impressive how early video game artists were able to manipulate pixels in such a way.

Async is literally short for asynchronous, so the time thing makes sense. If Ivan knew about time travel with the backrooms when he named his company, it's probably his own nod or in-joke at what started everything.
As a programmer, I think we should keep that in mind for way longer, because the series also has the potential for what async means in programming: processes that happen at the same time (but not necessarily "pace"), but are run on different cores that can still interact with each other :D
Backrooms coded in javascript that's why it so buggy xd
If Ivan beck watched the video and chose not to open a portal to the backrooms what would happen?

"You have always been here" is a reference to liminality. Liminal images give you the sensation of familiarity even though you have never seen them before. The Backrooms is composed entirely from liminal spaces, making the viewer experience false memories of having been their, i.e. "you have always been here"
Ahh I have that all the time
@@pizzainc.1465 You might want to check out r/liminalspaces the community grew along side (but separate from) the backrooms as a group to share images that give them that uncanny feeling.
I just learned about the back rooms a few months ago and found it so unsettling but at first didn’t realize why. Then it hit me: It’s very much like dreams I often have. Being in a place that’s familiar but not and they just go on and on with no way out. I wonder if liminal spaces appear in other’s dreams a lot?
It’s also possibly a reference to the Shining when Grady’s ghost tells Jack “You were always the caretaker here.”
@@coleozaeta6344 That’s an interesting point. I think there could be and probably is, a great deal of theory about the meaning of the back rooms and liminal space.
As someone who is completely new to the Backrooms (and just got sucked into the various spin-offs that flood YT), I appreciate this video. Liked & subbed.
Overflow could also be a reference to integer overflow, for example if you made a 8 bit counter, once it reaches 255 the next number will overflow, resetting back tock to the lowest possible number.
The backrooms is oddly similar to the Greek myth The Labyrinth. Giant monster that lurks in the halls waiting for food. A seemingly endless maze. Probably has something to do with dead kids. It all checks out

12:49 "You wouldn't want to be on the end of any gun, Marvin. "
"Yeah, that's probably true."
The book Hawkins’s Hallway by Neil Shusterman (I think) featured a random number algorithm that once incorporated into a machine, would teleport the machine to a random location on Earth and give off energy to the area. Maybe some random number algorithms were plugged into Async’s portal and would cause random openings to appear around earth?
More Hawkings Hallway stuff, a character named Vince came in at the end of the book to show other characters a puzzle cube of sorts, while he was glowing GREEN. There was a house mentioned to be at the bottom of the sea, and the book featured a house that got teleported to the bottom of Loch Ness. Almost certainly unrelated but interesting nonetheless.
My thinking is, instead of the Backrooms being part of a simulation, is it's the graveyard of shattered realities. When the universe breaks apart, the bits that fall off end up in the Backrooms, until eventually the entire universe shatters and ends up there
The video "I Remember" is the one that backs this theory up the best. Whether the Backrooms is sentient or not the voice is still speaking as if from its POV and the implications are obvious. Everything eventually winds up in the backrooms, even when the "Eternal Ghost" of your dimension is gone the Backrooms has absorbed them in a mirrored fashion thus it "Remembers" them.
WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE
I wonder if this is just a local distortion event relative to planets, or if the distortion spreads to other celestial bodies. I don't imagine it would ever get big enough to swallow huge swaths of outer space or even stars, right?
@@jjbarajas5341 By definition, the Backrooms are infinite in size. Thus they can swallow the entire universe. Even if they are not infinite, if they are constructed as it goes, they will swallow everything eventually. I believe more in the theory that the first "failed test" was the first bullet hole into reality... and then it started to stretch infinitely. Even if ASync did nothing more and tried to SCP it, it is too late. The rips have a cascading effect.
The fact that we can even tell MatPat by the sound of his BREATHING if we had to is astounding, truly spectacular.
Oh my gosh, at first I didn’t think so- but now I think you’re right
well he is in a closet so-
Mat needs to teach us the lore of locks from the lock picking lawyer
I want to see the backrooms as like a series on a streaming platform
The Subtitler needs a raise. Not to mention that their actually a living human being
They need to be Jeff bezos
*they’re
Really, really happy that "I remember" is important. Writing is very important to any story and kane (or one of his associates if he didn't write it) did a phenomenal job with that video and how the statements made by an async employee are presented. One of those videos I just caught myself watching repeatedly because it just flowed well, and felt rather well thought out and intelligent among a mess of repetitive suggestions that bore me in my suggested feed. Kane parsons is a genius, and I can't wait yo continue to see this story unfold.
I mean Kane is a kid; I don't think he had any staff. Probably did it himself
I like how there still so much more to the backrooms because this is just one level there is so many more level where you could die in a couple minutes or weeks
His work is so good it can be called a movie
I love whenever MatPat covers youtube ARG’s, they’re infinitely interesting and it’s so cool to watch a familiar face give his interpretations. Crossing my fingers for a Marble Hornets series on the channel, it’d definitely be one for the ages-and for the corny jokes.

Wow man i just started following the back rooms and this is kinda crazy!
Id love to see film theory/game theory do something on 'this house has people in it'
14:35 nice “Phineas and Ferb” reference.
The video Overflow could be referencing integer overflow in computers, where inputting too large a number causes the computer to "overflow" back to a negative number, and the same thing works in reverse, too. If the Backrooms follow video game/computer simulation logic, this could be why time is unstable in this series. This fits really well with MatPat's time loop theory, which I'm sure everyone caught on to, but I wanted to mention it anyway.
I'm only at 2:33 but my theory is that the backrooms universe is actually a simulation, and the backrooms is a feature put there to punish cheaters, but people occasionally glitch into there.
It's dope how much he put into the lore
Overflow could be a reference to a programming/calculation error that occurs when the data type used to store data was not large enough to hold the data. This would make sense from the backrooms being a simulation angle and seems to imply an overflow error in time could be causing all the wonky time shifting stuff.
Reminds me a lot of the concept of the Night Floors from delta green. Missing person vanishing into an endless impossible space featueing the stylings of cosmic horror
I love how the timeline is so clear unlike a certain other series *cough cough* FNAF *cough cough*
I’ve been searching through matpat’s videos to find Mystery Flesh Pit National Park only to realise it and one of his uploads. Please MatPat. I need more on this lore!!
