I'll say it. If there were no dangers in the backrooms, and you could get out at any time you wanted, I'd explore it without question.

Same tbh, it actually seems pretty fun to explore it without any risk of danger or getting stuck there.

What if the backrooms didn't have monsters, but instead had slowly rizing water, like 1 inch per hour? That would be soo mentally horrifying...

This made me remember my old dream back when i was 10 years old its still so damn scary i have never been so scared of pools after i had that dream, and the fact that this pool in the video looks exactly the same of what i dreamt of makes me more scared.. But there are differences it really isn't this big but its longgg and if u go in one of those holes you would fall very high and its way more darker than before, that dream literally made me traumatised and this video made me surprised of how much accurate it is, like IT LOOKS EXACTLY THE SAME AND ITS SCARING THE LIVING GHOST OUTA ME. BTW I really like the realism i hope your video's would get more views since damn thats impressive..

[@OldieWan]

The pool rooms do not have any creatures within them. However when in the pool rooms for a long period of time you will hear the sound of rushing water getting closer and closer. A rush of water begins to appear down the corridor. Suddenly the wave over takes you. You try your best to swim up to grasp for breath. Your head will hit the ceiling. You have that moment of fear knowing you're about to drown. Luckily you find a small air pocket and all is still. You take in a deep breath, and you feel the currents begin to sweep you quicker and quicker. You are pulled under and realize you are being swept into a vortex. You have now entered the DRAIN room! Your hopes of living are swept away with the tug of that swirling vortex as you are pulled back under into the large drain in the center of the room. You struggle as you drown tumbling over and over in a dark tube that gets smaller and smaller until your body is wedged into the small drain pipe.

[@OldieWan]

@TheSpace2001 Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it. You would enjoy my stories about the lowest rooms. The bottom level rooms at the end of the grand stair rooms. Darkness engulfs you as you enter what seems to be an end to a 3 day journey down stairs that seemed unending. The clicking and clattering sounds gets closer and closer the further down you go. You can't quite place what the sounds are. Skittering crawling and scratching are distant sounds. And suddenly a latch sound echos from above. The stairs retract and are turned into a steep ramp giving way to your weaken limbs from days of traversing the steps. You slide down as these sounds become deafening! As you slip and slide down it feels like it is covered with some kind of slime which gives you no chance to grab on or gain footing. The sounds, oh my God, so loud. You plummet to the bottom. You Stand up and take one step forward and it is as if you are walking on crunchy cookies. At least that is what you tell yourself a moment before you feel thousands of legs crawling up your legs. You frantically slap and swat at this feeling now reaching to your upper body. In a panic and turn around for the stairs that have become the slippery slide. You feel the sting of hundreds of bites across your back. Frantically you find the walls and by some stroke of luck you find a switch. YES! A light switch. You flick it. The moment you flick that switch is the moment you wish you never came to this place. A red dim dull light now illuminates the horror surrounding you. Millions of bugs cover the floor, walls and ceiling. You begin to scream, as you are devoured by the legions of skittering doom that is the lowest Rooms! Edit: I need a proof reader or an editor. Most of these I write on the fly off the top of my head.

[@ZANGELIX1263]

Backrooms has always had a lot of attention, or so i feel. But now we are getting actual high quality animations that capture the true nature of the backrooms. No cringey monsters, colony bases, etc. Just raw loneliness and bizarre environments that make no sense. I feel like the Backrooms is finally getting GOOD attention. Cant wait to see what we get next!

[@tomm9012]

That’s sick, I got the poo scared out of me when it screamed, it is very well done making you think nothing is going to happen, again I love your work already!

[@hiiloveu1521]

Honestly, for me the poolrooms are even more scary than the backrooms. It's just something about being in water in a place like this that makes you feel constantly trapped. Water slows you down, it can drown you, you won't hear something approaching underwater and you sure as heck won't be able to fight it if it pulls you under. In conclusion, poolrooms are terrifying

[@pumkinpatchwork]

most depictions of the Poolrooms feature bright blue water and streams of sunlight, and while I love that depiction I also absolutely adore this darker new take! you’re excellent at what you do, keep going :)

[@Mortablunt]

I'd love to visit the Pool Rooms. Bring some potable water, a foam mat, and some food, it'd be a great weekend getaway of just relaxing and swimming.

@@Mortablunt totally agreed until it’s been a few days and you realize you can’t get out…

[@humansvd3269]

I like the fact that it's dated in the early 90s. Malls and Pool rooms like this exactly had this kind of feel. As a child of the 90s I sometimes got intimidated at the size of the malls the Open Spaces. The sheer fact that it's just deserted makes all creepy and terrifying.

[@mezmerizer0266]

I have no idea what this pool room sub genre is all about. But I've had dreams like it. So I keep looking for more.

I think the pools don't need a monster, especially not in the classic sense, if then something that is in the water, somewhere very deep down in a dark pool... the atmosphere in the environment is already strange enough without a direct danger

[@jedidiahwomack83]

One of the defining properties of the backrooms is that of monotony met with sudden menace. Metaphor for the fear of life, rather than of death. We are in an environment that is accommodating to human taste but devoid of human relativity. In what I call the "fear of life," all things made for the collective of humankind have an isolating effect on the individual. Meaningless transitions are trespassed with dire caution. We are free to go anywhere, but no actual thing is manifested. Every move is an empty move, every fear an empty thought until the sudden destruction of the body is realized. It is only then that closure comes, death as a relief. When every moment of life, and every setting wherein life is passing, all the many sensations are mere forms without feature, and criteria without content or contentment. And then it's over.
