[@LaOxidada]

What really stood out to me in this episode was the amount of refuse and trash (discarded clothes, miscellaneous garbage, empty jugs of water, etc.), as well as what could be signs of past human habitation (furniture that seems purposely moved, makeshift blockades) In universe, missing person's cases were expected to rise exponentially each decade following the discovery of the backrooms, yeah? Considering how big the backrooms is, the chances of you stumbling onto signs of human life are very slim, so the fact Ravi came across so much evidence of it in just his first day alone means that it must be worse than what was projected, it's gotten to the point that you could just walk into the wrong door or turn the wrong corner and you end up here. I'd say don't even leave your house at that point, but considering that all Ravi did to end up in the backrooms was go through a hole in his wall, you're not even safe at home. Just dont get out of bed and you might be fine.

We're not talking enough about the beginning. The broken glass door at 2:48. The busted down wall in the garage at 5:38 - right where Robbie fell out of our dimension.

[@itslaird]

​@JohnnyKaraoki u so smart 👏

[@venturoes1912]

I think it might be like the 4th dimension. To better understand it, here's a quick idea of what I'm thinking of. A 3rd dimensional space can be cut into a 2 dimensional space, like if you had a cube and you just cut it with a knife, the outline would leave a 2 dimensional square, right? So perhaps, the backrooms is the 4th dimension and our real world is 3rd dimensional, so think of it like falling out of a 2D world, perhaps that's how you get into the backrooms? By falling out of the 3rd dimension into another one.

20:20 Horror masterclass. Normally we are scared of the dark. But here it's flipped. The entity turns on the light, and we feel exposed and it's truly horrifying.

[@faztter_dev]

​

[@igku8339]

I interpreted it more like "The switch turns on the light. → The light just turned on by itself. → The entity is near the switch." Also your interpretation wouldn't be an example of a horror masterclass. It's literally just stealth. Games in which you are detected if the light touches you are not uncommon. In said games they add sounds and effect to tell you "hey, this situation is terryfing".

[@Crunchy8bitblocks]

I think a horror game should be made like that

[@poppylem]

@@igku8339 Because the concept already exists does not mean it cannot be a masterclass, I think you already know that an extreme majority of horror movies/videos or games takes place or plays in/with the dark and the scary feeling of being confronted to it or stuck in it, and the fact that you cannot see what's around you and see the danger. Here, it made the light something actually uncomfortable and uneasy, not just something to avoid to not get caught, but an actual feeling of BEING uncomfortable and uneasy in the light, because totally exposed to the danger. In video games, the lights you have to avoid to not get caught isn't scary, it can be stressful because you don't want to get caught, but it's not something that makes your feel scared or unsafe to be in. The light itself doesn't make your skin crawl from terror of being seen. Here, the lights being turned on kinda makes you feel like your own skin is exposed as if you've been undressed of any safe feeling and that you COULD get caught at any moment. I think it's very different than those lights mecanism in video games that can be seen in Little Nightmare, The Last of Us, or other games... Not that those mechanism are not good enough at all, but again it's not something similar. So yeah, this is a masterclass indeed.

The meta here is that you should properly decorate your house so it doesn't look sparse and liminal. Otherwise you risk creating a thin spot where you could cross the dimensional threshold. Good housekeeping saves lives XP

[@travisoliver6741]

Actually, that would be a genuinely terrifying thing as a sort of non-canon sidestory. Any space that is considered sufficiently "liminal" becomes entangled with the Complex, and as people realize what's happening, they remodel or destroy anything that looks nostalgic. But then as people grow up, what is "nostalgic" is very different, and more and more of the world falls apart.

Otherwise you'd most likely hear the kids freaking out that their father is gone. Note that it's usually how it happens that only one person gets through a specific rift (unlike objects). Here in the beginning you also see the picture get scrambled before he falls down, that's most likely the rift closing up behind him (and shifting in time?).

[@Al_X-2005]

I have a theory about the father Robbie was talking to that was inspired by a reply to another comment. The wall seemed to be an entry way to the Backrooms, though we never see the father come through. We see the painting come off the wall, but no one comes through the wall itself. As implied before, the Backrooms can manipulate time. I think the father no-clipped into that room and was transported to a time before Robbie arrived. The only main clue I can see from this is is the boot clipped into the floor at 37:22. It's close the entry point, and we can hear the man scream in pain before he is transported, possibly getting his foot stuck or even partially cut off, as the substance around the boot could be dried blood (or the bacteria). The room itself is also very similar to a real house, so my guess is that that area in particular is a distorted version of the father's home. How long was the man sent back before Robbie? It's hard to be exact, but that leads me into my second theory. The entity at 27:25 could be that same man Robbie was talking to, his body now succumbed to the bacteria. This is the most human looking entity we've seen so far in this series, so this has to be the early stages of the bacterial infection. Also, if you look closely at the entity's feet at the freeze frame, his right foot looks short and stubbier, almost like half of it was cleanly cut off. That probably explains it's awkward footsteps toward Robbie and how he was able to outrun it. Also, the boot from before looked like it went on a right foot, and the entity's right foot is suspiciously shorter. But that's just a theory EDIT: Someone in the replies mentioned that the voices the children heard was from the father himself. Which makes sense, he could be panicked and trying to communicate with them, only to hear himself from the past (presumably) and his kids. Another person also mentioned that maybe his kids or other family members came through with him, which would explain the clothes outside the house in the sky room. EDIT 2: Bro I'm in an 8bit Ryan vid

[@eclipsevoid_]

Im pretty sure youre right! If you look at the entity right when Robbie enters the room, you can see it on the ground, kind of crawling, like it can't stand properly, probably due to its foot being cut. Good observation!

The Neon God from SCP-7005 really captures that idea I think. "The lights were bound to the wall, attached irregularly with metal and wire. They were arranged in rows and columns. I wasn't sure what it was - an attempt at art? A warning? But, no - I realised, finally, that it was meant to be writing. It was meant to be a message. The lights were trying to spell out letters. But they didn't know what letters were, what a sentence was, what a word could mean. It was an uneven scrawl in symbols that did not exist. And all above us, no stars shone. There was nothing left, in the centre of all that devastation, but these things. These yellow and staring lights, trying to be something and failing." -SCP-7005

Psychologically, this found footage hits the hardest. 1: Like how our protagonist comes into the Backrooms. Unlike the other 2 protagonists, this guy didn't instantly no clip into the Backrooms but instead was teleported instantly by a chunk of the Backrooms that warped itself into the real world. 2: The way the the protagonist didn't get to see the entity most of the times but only hear it not really knowing how far and near it really was. Plus using the music from those speakers to trick the protagonist with not being able to detect the entity's own sound was genius. 3: The way our protagonist actually found help by another human being and thought he would be out of this nighmare as help was so near only to realize that the other guy couldn't see where he really was but only hear him. It's as if the Backrooms is mocking the protagonist that help is near him yet also far away from him. And man I felt terrible for the other guy the most apart from our protagonist. He too got transported to the Backrooms from the real world. He was probably minding his own business and wanted to help our protagonist only to get trapped in the Backrooms as well. 4: The ending. Do I even have to say it?

protagonist isn't exactly smart, if you found a maze like situation and then came back to the point where you can trace your steps back eg the scene with chairs sitting inwards, i would've climbed back down and try to go back to the original point, THEN jackie chan myself up to the original fall in point, he just keeps going forward hoping they're be exit when that could just keep going

I used to work as a janitor at Waste Management, and oddly some aspects of the backrooms remind me of that job, which is why I liked it so much. Because WM is sooo simple and easy going, often a lot of the offices were barren and unused, and were mostly there just to fill in space. But a LOT of the headquarters were entirely barren and liminal, some floors didn't even have furniture and were big empty rooms, I still had to clean them and keep them dust free and in shape incase more jobs arise. The building often split between industrial, mechanic, and offices. The industrial was the most active spot with things people snagged out of the trash to keep, or coats on racks. Oddly despite it being concrete with a mix of HPS and incandescent lighting, being large and echoy with massive dump trucks parked in the bays, it was my favourite area because it was the least scary. The most scary part was the offices, barren rooms, and hallways. As a janitor you're ENTIRELY alone in the ENTIRE building, and no sounds, very quiet and eerie. The one thing I was taught that made it even worse was that I was only supposed to use half of the lights and turn them off after I'm finished in a room, so the rooms were halfway lit, with dark hallways, and second was that many rooms were pitch black after leaving them, and for that minute after you shut off the lights sometimes you had to walk a small distance to leave the room, and that minute you kept having to fight the instinct not to panic and run like something is behind you, because often it would cause you to panic and desperately try to escape nothing. The elevators and staircases were the only area that was constantly lit, and they made things worse because when you were finished with a floor, all the lights of all hallways were turned off and you'd stand a moment in that light. the vacuum was loud too so if you vacuumed, you were totally deaf and unaware of any sounds other than the very powerful vacuum. If and when I heard unexpected sounds, I was kinda the only security there too. I wouldn't call out or demand an answer, instead I would put down whatever and slowly creep up to the room/sound and just peek around the corner and observe for anyone. Often there wasn't a single sound and it was very silent except for me.

[@MidKnightKid98]

Sometimes you had to call a friend or family in the middle of the night and ask them to stay on the phone to keep you sane. A few of my friends didn't have jobs so it made it easy to get ahold of them at night because they were often gaming, and it kinda became a ritual where they could stream their game, and I would work and chat with them. Other times it would get annoying listening to them bicker and complain at eachother so other nights I would really, well... Smoke a lot. And that would add a layer of eerieness, but also take the edge off and make me feel like I'm invincible. You had to have a lot of guts to stay sane. But honestly I lived for it, and loved it. These videos kinda bring be back to those times and I want to go back, other than the back and joint pain every day, I would love to take any job with janitorial again

Hell yeah I remember I was a student-custodian for 4 years at my college while going to school. I'm with ya, I loved that job! The most backrooms experience we had was one time they sent a group of us under the science department building to clean some old labs/storage spaces. And like we didn't understand what they meant by old, like it was some backrooms shit, like dusty old labs with super dated equipment/dusty ass beakers, half the labs had no lighting or if they did it was ancient florescent bulbs that took like a minute to get bright. But the real highlight was our supervisor opened this one lab there was just like 10 human sized cages and we were like wtf happened in here? Turns out it was old cages from a chimpanzee research program they had in the 1980's. Best part was about an hour into cleaning the head supervisor was like where are you guys, we told her we were cleaning the labs, she was like no I'm here at the labs and your not here where are you? Turns out we had gone a floor lower than the 'old' labs we were supposed to clean, and our head supervisor wasn't even mad she was baffled, she didn't even know there was another floor below. Yeah that was a fun job while it lasted.

[Observations/Speculation] (00:14) - "Oklahoma City Bom-", so the footage dates back to 1995... (00:44) - EDITED: Ravi (cameraman) says he's recorded a Monsanto Executive making jokes about a sick child's appearance with a DPR Manager. But strangely Ravi then goes on to say that, seemingly, another Monsanto Employee stepped in to admit... some sort of "fault". At first I thought they were taking responsibility for the joke, but the Executive should've been doing that. With the employee then going on to say something about "accidentally pushing out the entire county", it makes me think that Monsanto is somewhat aware of the backrooms... Perhaps even somewhat responsible for that child's condition?? (02:44) - Cannot tell whether something broke IN or broke OUT. If it's the latter... 😟 (16:50) - This weird tape-book formation looks to me like the victim may have marked the spot they clipped from (22:38) - Looked like a victim that succumbed to the backrooms, but on closer look it looks like a statue that's been torn from its foundation? (23:20) - A poster... from 2022 (24:24) - At this point, seeing ANY traces of mold and discarded human possessions imply that people died in these rooms (28:09) - A spider(?) trapped between planes (35:21) - A whole group of people seemed to have succumbed to the bacteria, and after undressing themselves (or dissolving), they scatter with a trail of moldy footprints (35:46) - Is this a statue, or someone who unfortunately could not fully clip into the backrooms in time? (37:21) - One of the victim's footprints from outside leads into this... partially clipped boot. Nothing adds up! EDIT: the footprints seem to move AWAY from the boot... (38:00) - Without subtitles it's hard to hear what the man (father) from the other side is saying. I believe I heard something along the lines of "it would be helpful if you come by on wednesday and have a look at the place...he's got to get out of there sooner or later, the clock's ticking..." I wonder if this somehow connects to Ravi's sudden disappearance during his "check up" of the downstairs area... *Speaking of the father, his confusion/doubt from Ravi's description of the room he's in, the camera panning to the door as the father opens HIS door, and the fact he has "boys" living with him... Makes me believe that the house that Ravi stumbled onto belonged to the father. The human remains outside the house could very well have been what was left of the family after being sucked in. With the house somehow existing before the father's demise, there's clearly some time paradox stuff going on here! ADDITION: (19:08) (30:26) (31:39) In Pitfalls, Marvin stumbles upon a recreated neighborhood illuminated by a false starry sky and a mysterious red light, the ambience consisted of a strange warbling sound. Ravi seems to have found an extension of this environment, although it's the recreation of a city. There must be a color motif here, such as how GREEN was weirdly prevalent in FF2. I'm not certain what the correlation of green is, but seems like RED is all about the recreation of EXTERIOR environments... *...But then there's the ending (42:27), where the entire house is now shrouded in that familiar, warbling red hue... The heck's going on there??

Some thoughts: The main theme here seems to be about time. At 23:19 we see a marketing poster on the wall dated 2022. At 28:29 there is an old shrine to Chairman Mao. There are several instances of anachronistic detritus and survivor habitation throughout the video.The Backrooms seems to be seeping into the walls of the world, seeking out and mirroring its Euclidean counterpart. There are small spacial tears everywhere as referenced by the spiders at 0:07 and 28:10. Towards the end of the video at 41:05 the homeowner tries to pry the wall open to free the protagonist, but is greeted by something else. If I was to guess, he opened the wall but met our protagonist at a much later period in time - one where the human is long gone and only a screaming entity is left in his place. The way in which the Backrooms seem to oscillate to ensure that it's victims remain trapped is very disturbing. I'm not sure if the conversation about the infected child and possibility of a county-wide evacuation at the start of the video are related (the execs don't appear to be working for ASync), but the symptoms of the child suggest an unusual contagion.

[@glennattic2112]

I have a really crazy theory, and I seriously hope someone reads this. In the beginning of the video, 0:52, Ravi/Robbie (our protagonist) was talking about the Monsanto and DPR thing, he talked about the sick kid referring to “it” as the bug-eyed one. Now keep this in mind. Near the end of the video, around 37:43 when the protagonist enters the home and we can hear the “dad/homeowner”character talking about stuff like “it would be helpful if you could come around on Wednesday/clocks ticking/he’s gotta get out of there sooner or later type of stuff and you can hear him say it about a kid. My theory is that this father’s kid is the same kid Ravi heard the Monsanto and DPR person talking about, because their home and the back rooms are so clearly close, the kid could have been infected by the back rooms mold. The way it aligns is because of some back rooms time dilation. I also think that the entity who pulls the father into the back rooms when he cuts a hole in the wall at 41:43 is the monster version of Robbie who was overcome by the mold at the very end of the video where he says “it’s been a while” and he’s in that red setting, and the monster who was chasing Robbie through the backrooms during the duration of the whole video was the father/homeowner character, which explains the boot in the floor of the house (father character lost his leg during that no clipping) and why the entity Ravi ran into seemed to have one foot and limped. It all comes full circle 🤯🤯

[@nightwarden3498]

This is an interesting idea but I was thinking maybe him being pulled in from an entity maybe far fetched since we haven’t got full coverage yet of entities escaping or being able to clip through for a moment to snatch someone. I think we collectively believe that the monster could be the father from the house. Or a version of the father who presently exists in the backrooms (zombified from the bacteria) while at the same time he exists in the real world.

[@aled_0108]

Here's what I got from this installment of the series: - The Backrooms is slowly creeping "into" Reality, as seen by the fact that our protagonist this time entered the Backrooms through a physical "tunnel" in his house, as opposed to just "noclipping" like the past two protags. - There *are* survivors. We see several structures/arrangements that look man-made: The circle of chairs (12:20), the circle of books(16:34), chairs and and furniture piled up on each other as barriers (15:44) and to reach high points (24:05), clothes on the floor, etc - The bacteria doesnt just kill people, it reanimates them; makes them zombies, if you will. At 27:23 we see our protag get chased and run from a very human looking figure with a "blackened" appearance, much like the bacteria monster from Found Footage #1 and the corpse found in "Missing Persons". (Perhaps we can assume it's some kind of hivemind as well? This one's just speculation but it wouldn't be too far off imo considering the collection of vines and vegetation surrounding the Bacteria monster in Found Footage #2) - We already know time works differently in the Backrooms than in reality, however it's safe to say that the Backrooms are *still* clipping parts of reality into them even far in the future in Kane's timeline, all around the world as well, not just the US, as we see a Chinese poster from 2022 (23:18) - It's implied that people can get "stuck" between the Backrooms and Reality, or at least become "part" of the Backrooms in some way, which we see at 35:35, with the person clipped into the ground, sharing the same carpeted texture as the ground. My guess is this is similar to Harry Potter where you can get "splinched" if something goes wrong in the process of being teleported, only here the teleportation process leads to the Backrooms. - People can talk across the threshold of Reality and the Backrooms. Nearing the end of the video (38:50), our protag engages in a very clear conversation with someone in their house, yet they cannot see each other. From the way the guy on the other side (reality) is talking, it seems from where he's at, everything seems normal. For our protag, he's obviously trapped, but there's something that allows them to communicate. I see it similar to the "Upside Down" of Stranger Things: an almost exact replica of Reality but messed up, yet faint communication between the two dimensions is still possible. This connection of mine is reinforced by the fact that the light flickers when the guy in Reality stops talking after seemingly getting attacked (41:38), which brings me to my final point... - Tying back to my very first point, it's implied that the Backrooms entities are also creeping into reality alongside the Backrooms itself. Nearing the end of the video, our protag and "guy in reality" 's conversation, the guy in Reality goes "What the fuck?", implying something was wrong, then we hear a roar similar to the original Bacteria monster. The monster obviously isn't near our protag at the moment, so it wouldn't be too far off to say it somehow made its way to the real world? I'll edit this if I discover anything else worth pointing out in the vid.

[@minaeru]

Got a strong theory on this one. This entire episode is more or less a time loop. The creature chasing him in the early/middle part of the video is the guy he accidentally caused to fall in with him at the end of the video. The dad was a real person and he was talking to him through a time spatial/time distortion, there's constant communication and chatter through time in the series. Anyways, you hear the dad fall into the backrooms into that house and all that blood and clothes on the floor is him stumbling out. He eventually gets infected and then hunts the main character before the main character causes him to fall in.

[@fe_door26]

100 percent exactly what happened, never agreed so much

[@ilijavirijevic3876]

this is very well formulated, and i also agree with most of that what im interested in is if there is any relevance to the door that cameraman opens near the end that leads to a blocked off pathway it... feels like there's some significance to it or the contents it's blocked with but I can't put my finger on what exactly it is

[@railmacher1303]

There are several comments echoing this theory, I agree as well. The father gets infected and either out of a single mindset or out of twisted self preservation, tries to kill the cameraman in the hopes of stopping him from meeting his past self and therefore never ending up in the backrooms in the first place, breaking the time loop. But ends up perpetuating the loop by scaring the cameraman and never able to catch up with him to stop him from having that fateful conversation through the walls.

Robbie's car radio in the beginning of the tape is talking about the Oklahoma City Bombing defense attorney. This trial started and ended in 1997, giving us a rough timeframe for when Robbie existed in reality in this tape. If we are assuming this house is a mirror of the other man's house, you'll notice he has a singing bass fish on his wall. Those didn't start selling until the early 2000s.

[@Apocryptoz]

35:17-42:55 Here are my thoughts and theory on what happened: Ravi (the protagonist) stumbles across the house in which he makes contact with the father & home owner of it in the real world, but here’s the interesting part: I believe that Ravi made contact with the owner in the past and the home owner making contact with Ravi in the future, which led to him somehow noclipping along with his family and entire house into the backrooms by trying to open up the wall for Ravi (supported by the same light flickering occurring when Ravi noclipped). It’s at this point where the family steps outside of the house and is seemingly attacked by the mold entities, causing their clothes to be either ripped off or dissolved in the process, with them scattering into the different holes/tunnels seen in the walls after being infected or turned into one of those mold entities themselves (this can all be supported by the several moldy footsteps seen outside and inside of the house). In the end this all leads back to Ravi finding the house in the first place, suggesting that this is some sort of time paradox. However this opens a big question: How will the public react to an entire house seemingly vanishing without a trace in just 9 seconds? (41:43-41:52) Most importantly how will the government try to cover this up?

[@notmo.]

The house probably didn't vanish but is a distorted version of itself in the backrooms. Maybe some objects of the real world have a backrooms counterpart and can function like a bridge between dimensions.

[@AllExistence]

Okay, so I've got a wild theory: Backrooms didn't have a copy of that house. It's exactly same house, but from the future. Basically, when father started making a hole in the wall, he agitated a clipping space, and it's collapsed the entire house with him into the backrooms. We saw in #2 that touching the hole can lead to it growing. We also know now that backrooms does not obey law of time because of that async employee who went missing for two month while recording one video. Basically, camera men caused the father to violently strike the clip space in his wall, leading to rapid expansion of it and collapse of the entire house. Then the father turned into a mold monster, because of bacteria, and left the house. There are clothes around the house and footprints leading in different directions, so his boys probably came with him too. Also, during clipping, father and house had been transported into the past before camera men found the house. So he met them and caused them to clip after they actually clipped, which is a time loop thing. It might also be him who chased the camera men earlier. As someone pointed out the father seems to have partially clipped into the floor with his foot, and we see a boot and dried blood. Then the entity that chased camera men actually misses the toes on the right foot of you look closely on the freeze frame. Another thing to note is the house in the beginning where he first met an entity. There is a circle of items on the floor and tape, as well as a corpse in the corner. It looks like someone found a clip side on the floor and tried to find out its size by placing objects around it and then marking the spot. Sadly, they seemed to agitated the hole just like camera men of found footage 2, and had fallen in. Then they meet an entity, or perhaps someone who first taken through and exposed the hole already turned into entity by that time, and so they hid in a corner, but were found and killed.
