8:13 For anyone that is confused, that A-sync worker is the one who got separated from his exploration group in the informational video. At the end of the informational video, he finds a door which leads to the entrance. The alarms go off. But that entry area was not built until later videos. This could prove a theory that the timelines are different between the real world and the Backrooms.

[@TryckSpot]

It think it alludes more to the idea of those null zones that have been mentioned in his prior videos. I think it implies the lost researcher wandered into a null zone and got desynced from his original time frame.

[@kareningram6093]

OMG that makes perfect sense!

[@knightofthenorth926]

I don't think it necessarily means time travel, what if he was just wandering for so long that the whole thing was built by the time he got back? In the original backrooms, it is said that it's incredibly easy to lose track of time.

What I also noticed (as a not native English speaker) is that on the trucks it says Freight I translated it, and it basically means cargo, but why not use the word cargo? I Feel like Freight sounds like fright (when you're scared) which I think is very idk weird ig

[@ironsnail1708]

i guess because freight trucks and cargo trucks are words used interchangeably @@Mo67740

[@Malachite7]

@@Mo67740 I get what you mean, but I don't think that's the intent. Freight isn't an uncommon word- I think "freight" is more associated with the vehicle that is carrying cargo, while "cargo" is more associated with the items that are transported. If I were the creator, I wouldn't think much of this. Interesting detail, though!

[@Calgamer4635]

This kinda makes sense with the actual lore, A-Sync tried to make many residential and offices in the Backrooms. Which is probably why some levels have furniture and objects. This also goes along with Kane's "Found Footage #2"

*IMPORTANT DETAIL :* The person at the end is 100% the person that got lost in the "Informational Video" tape, but look at the dates from both, this tape is 3 months ahead of the date he was separated from his group. He *time travelled in the future* when the glitch happened, that would explain why he saw his group dissapear. So now we know for sure that the backrooms is a place where time can be manipulated aswell.

My dad used to work for a copy repair company and occasionally I would go with him when he went to different work sites. One place he took me left a very distinct memory in my mind as a kid in the 90's; it was an empty office building with fluorescent lights and seemingly endless space. There was a strong almost spiced scent and I wandered around until I got lost and shouted into these large empty rooms. After about ten minutes he found me and took me back to the front room. These videos tap into a nostalgia that I thought only I knew.

[@pkroyce8227]

The fact they want to turn the Backrooms into a massive storage facility is insane and really cool. If I ever got the chance I would work in Async.

In informational video, The Async researcher was lured away from the group by the sound of a lot of voices. We know that the area he went to distorted spacetime and the researcher got sent into the future. So the voices could be from a farther future in which the backrooms is commercialized and a large group of people is present.

Honestly such a human solution. Endless hellscape filled with incomprehensible horrors? Just turn it into a warehouse

[@randompheidoleminor3011]

Interestingly enough the backrooms would solve many of our problems: - Since the backrooms are infinite, we could move our argricultural production there. 50% of habitable land on Earth is now farmland, and our livestock 62% of mammal biomass on Earth (34% humans, 4% all wild mammals, from the smallest mouse to the largest whale). The extra space we get on Earth could be used to house more humans or preserve more of nature. - We could also harness free energy from the backrooms with minimal environmental damage to our planet. - We could move the more polluting industrial processes in there as well to decrease pollution and increase habitable lands on the surface, such as the refining and production of carcinogenic or radioactive substances and fossil fuel plants (if they haven't been rendered obsolete by point 2) - It would also be a nifty space to store spent nuclear fuel, making nuclear energy more ideal as an energy source compared to fossil fuels than it already is.

The Async facilities don't look much less creepy than the Backrooms themselves.

[@Sorain1]

Well, what were the Backrooms modeled on? Async facilities.

[@lumburgapalooza]

@@Sorain1 "Modeled"? As in their design is deliberate? I thought it was an extra dimension that was "discovered" and just happened to be like that. What's with all the weird shapes, seemingly functionless geometry and disproportionate furniture? It almost feels like a mimicry or imitation of our world, like how the monster imitates human voices to lure in victims.

[@Sorain1]

@@lumburgapalooza Well we know from (IIRC) First Contact that something 'obstructed' the process of generation that seemed to be going on. (Hence the map filling in on screen at the time.) So I'd say that some portion of the Backrooms was warped from an intended design. But I also agree that the alien geometry of much of the area fits all too well with that uncanny 'AI generated art' mimicry akin to the monster(s) audible lures. Asynch might have had a design in mind and kicked off the generation process, but I suspect the process of spatial expansion and mirroring is still ongoing, and influenced by something distinctly inhuman.

[@BisexualPlagueDoctor]

@@Sorain1 uh, the back rooms existed with the walls and stuff before they accessed it, only the first little research area is modeled in any way, the rest of the weird yellow walls are just how the back rooms were

[@Sorain1]

@@BisexualPlagueDoctor I don't think it's clear which of us is right. I based my assessment on the use of the term 'generation' and how concerned the scientists were with the 'obstruction'. But with the language used, I can't deny it is equally plausible that this space already existed and the scientists were reformatting it to their intended design, which was then obstructed. Given how things seem to be as they intended right beyond the threshold but go into things they didn't intend further out? Well that supports the idea the space existed before. The green glow and the new (different) space beyond the room with the holes would suggest that this 'generation' is still ongoing. But clearly not under the company's control. it could be that the generated space is acting like a crystal, growing similar shapes/patterns from a seed, and the bits of the normal world slipping through form the seed. (Parking lot chunk vanishes, new area like one appears. Etc.) More information will clear it up eventually, but on consideration your idea seems more likely than mine.

It's interesting that this guy is still alive before and after even the pitfalls event I think he might have gotten the director attention that day.

[@Pantzmeister]

I don’t see anyone talking about this, but I think the most unnerving part about the whole video is that when it compares the space sizes, the A-Space expands off the screen as the conventional space disappears. I’m not sure why that gives me chills

[@DoodleDust]

If this happened in real life I feel like people would be freaked out at first but eventually accept it as just part of everyday life and people go in and out of it all the time and the experts say it's fine, so it must be, right? That one guy on reddit that keeps warning people about the monsters that lurk the deeper you go is just trying to get a laugh out of scaring kids.

@@jakefoley9539 - I thought about that, I mean the level of production on these videos is astounding, there’s live actors, some very seamless blending going on, I can’t tell what’s purely a set location or totally CGI, and to my trained film making eye this stuffs pretty top tier for a 16 year old kid, it’s a little too well made for an amateur film maker. The one video where it had live actors made me begin to think otherwise that there’s a production company behind this, how could a 16 year old hire actors, get a location to film, there’s obviously a budget for these videos, there’s just a lot of high quality production in these videos that’s definitely above everyone else on KZbin.

They're creating mock dioramas and giving presentations to what appear to be officials in some capacity? Perhaps even more directly damning, there's a three frame glitch in the transition of the footage at 4:51. I took a screenshot, flipped it horizontally, and compressed it vertically. The text that appears is incomplete, but it says"...ED TO DECEIVE THE FEDE...".

That could definitely be a dystopian storyline for sure, but also, you could literally walk to a portal to the outside world and on the other side your home could be something absolutely massive and decadent or whatever you specified in your design document for A-sync to process. However, your "palace" would have no real windows to the outside world, you'd have to cross a threshold of your a-space portal in order to see the actual outside world. I don't know, how would living in a place like that affect a human being even if you could go outside? I feel like it would be a very tough call personally to weigh up the possibility of having any sort of dwelling I desire, yet at the cost of having no "real" windows to the outside world.

[@LordIncompetent]

I like to imagine that maybe the backrooms are a pocket dimension that runs parallel to or even underneath the tapestry of the physical universe we live in, where information from this universe is etched permanently in some way like quantum entanglement into that one. So maybe objects and entities inside of the backrooms are like saved duplicates of things that once existed in the real world and were "deleted", but the information and the knowledge that they were here is never truly "lost" but stored and reprinted as data somewhere else, usually in an organized yet totally random fashion. Take the interior floors and offices of the World Trade Center that were destroyed on 9/11, for example. In 1990 they still existed in this world, but if one wanders around in the backrooms today, then there would be a small but non-zero chance that you could stumble upon the "data" recording their existence in space-time in random fragments or pieces, like a cubicle here or a wall panel there. When something is destroyed, it never truly is obliterated; that information merely travels someplace else, even if it's a parallel dimension.

It's abstract and confusing but has a visible form. Edit: Not entirely sure about my second point but I'm leaving it in. Also adding that the structure forms patterns, it's not completely random, meaning those patterns could be learned. Like a computer language.

Wow good eye. From James David Watkins' wikipedia page: "On November 9, 1989, Watkins established the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management within the Department of Energy. On August 15, 1990, Secretary Watkins announced plans to increase oil production and decrease consumption to counter Iraqi-Kuwaiti oil losses caused by the Iraqi Invasion of Kuwait." So the date of his visit to the backrooms was after establishing the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management. The narrative edging towards storing some nuclear waste inside the backrooms, perhaps causing mutations.

[@Nathan-kk6lb]

@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 That’s a distinct possibility; it looks like another concept they were considering was pumping the CO2 output from industry into the Backrooms rather than the atmosphere. It might be that after the monster sightings, the company started pivoting towards applications where humans aren’t exposed to the Backrooms but it’s instead used for hazardous material storage. Then doing that either causes more problems with the monsters or the process of opening more thresholds winds up not working as expected, leading to the spatial anomalies experienced in the first video. That, or the time distortion effect (the guy at the end is definitely the one from Informational Video, which takes place three months before this) leads to more issues. Maybe they pivot again to trying to figure out how to control the time distortions and figure out how to monetize that property of the Backrooms instead?

This video alone adds so much depth to the series. “Virtual Storage Space” just like how we can virtualize servers and IT infrastructure… a-sync is literally virtualizing physical space as a commodity. Very cool and very deep. This video series can go on indefinitely…

You have no idea what virtual means do you?

[@2ManyGoats]

@@A_Stereotypical_Guy it's a perfect word for this. What do you think it means? Before you answer, keep in mind the word has been around longer than computers have existed

[@A_Stereotypical_Guy]

@@2ManyGoats well colloquially it means not quite exactly the same thing as the thing your prefixing it with, or something is not an exact representation of what you are describing...as in "those two houses are virtually identical". So...if you're using it in that manner how is the space being a commodity not quite 'space being a commodity'? If you're using it in the way that you're describing a replication of something that is nearly but not quite exactly like the original copy...it still doesn't really fit does it? I mean it is physical space...and it is a commodity...soooo...

It’s pretty crazy how much they’ve archived so far. The company went from barley knowing about to trucks houses all though they aren’t in there yet they will be soon they’ve already made a wall.

What I find the most unnerving about the back rooms is the fact that it mimics a human space (offices, pools, furniture, etc.) yet, as far as I understand, it was not created by humans. It makes it more sinister, like it has a life of its own, like it makes its own choices. And humans venturing into this for the sake of profit is very realistic.

[@aerochrome9712]

Throwing an idea out there: It IS created by humans, far in the future for an unknown (probably non nefarious) reason like shelter from a catastrophe or even just as extra space for a growing population. They didn't realize that what they created exists independent from normal time and we can access it now, far before we are ready.

[@mayeulraffin5926]

I always wondered, bc it's this feeling these places exist somewhere. Do they echo parts of reality, like forgotten elements that are copied and paste randomly?

[@kevinstephenson3531]

@@mayeulraffin5926 I think it's meant to be like that yeah. The description of how you enter the backrooms is by "no-clipping" into it. That's a video game term. It stands to reason that the backrooms could be the leftover reality of a higher power's video game.

This seams like a dated company presentation from the 80s and 90s 100%. Your work is amazing especially because the longest it has taken you to upload is a month or so. Your content is getting longer, your animation is improving, your music and ambiance are great, and the fact that you can get people in your sets and make it look like they really are there is astounding. You do amazing work!

[@flyingflx]

I like how the creepier and more unusual aspects of the backrooms show up in the concept videos at 3:04. It's a bit surreal to realize you are waiting for the monorail next to the bottomless pits, or the entity drop vent is at the end of the hallway to your apartment.

I think the idea is that things like bottomless pits and entities weren't supposed to exist in the original concept. It was supposed to be just normal space used for a variety of purposes. Something went haywire during its creation which caused it to get all screwed up and it turned out to be what it is

For me, the theory that we created the backrooms as a space/disposal/living solution creeps me out more than any of the other theories. It makes it more believable and for a split second you might actually convince yourself that it actually exists. Would be cool if the inner workings of how it was created and accessed is more fleshed out.

For anyone wondering, that seal in the corner of the screen starting at 6:17 is the seal of the US Department of Energy. Also, great work on the vid. Lots of little details really sell the authenticity of all this, and this nails the look of any 1990's corporate video. Plus we finally get to see how the guy who got lost plays into everything.

[@tylerpixel]

The old dude at 6:00 is the Secretary of Energy at the time, James D. Watkins.
