Xeno Reacts to The Backrooms | Scariest Videos On The Internet

[@syntheskeleton]

This series is a phenomenal display of visual effects prowess, subtle storytelling, and even musical composition. Kane is a goddamn wizard and I'm so excited to see what he does next, be it more backrooms or something else. He absolutely deserves the attention and the success that he's gotten.

[@marklatham1414]

We can add sound design to the list. A lot Kayne’s work has amazing sound effects.

[@fm6036]

I agree. He is amazing!

[@DG_Toti]

And to think he was only 16 when he made this

[@baaldagon1755]

the whole uneasy feeling of the backrooms is based of how most people react to liminal spaces, funny enough "liminal space" is also che name of the place where we fight Alexander in TEA so in a way Alexander is also part of the backrooms. also monkaS

[@dustincieslik5397]

Also liminal space is where all of Omega raids take place

[@SoSakashii]

@@dustincieslik5397 I thought it would be sth like Interdimensional Rift?

[@dustincieslik5397]

@@SoSakashii yes but it's also liminal space it was named the inter-dimensional rift by cid and co

[@dustincieslik5397]

@@SoSakashii basically it's a form of liminal space where Omega is the spaces creepy monster who is effectively a god in the space it's not called liminal space but it is a form of liminal space is what I meant lol

The deepest lore

[@jeremiahbullfrog226]

Yeah this is scary and all, but also, imagine the euphoria of sprinting down those straight hallways just for the sake of it. Like running down a super long, carpeted hotel hallway. I wanna do that, minus the terror of being chased by Doodlebob with no way out.

[@DG_Toti]

this awoke the feral hamster in your brain didn’t it

[@HarumiYu]

Kane Pixels is so good, he and his team deservers all the recognition and attention, doing some really fine art.

[@TheOneAndOnlyLUUUU]

There is basically no team. He is mostly doing it by himself apart from the actors he started hiring for some scenes now.

[@fm6036]

I agree, he is awesome!

[@omarlemus5150]

Man this part of stream was so funny just chilling with everyone in chat, while also clenching your asscheeks in anticipation for a jump scare

[@meitomiyazaki9848]

It’s crazy what you can do with even just one howler without even introducing any of the other crazy entities and shit people came up with to stalk the backrooms

[@schist9626]

This reminds me of that free Playstation game a while back called The Witness. You're on this island alone solving puzzles, and you come across a room with this crazy ass old video with the same vibes as this. Actually a great game.

[@AngelMercury]

He's right, the sound on that first one is wild. These are so cool and creepy and I think as much as I want to I just can't watch them which is a bummer cause I really dig it but aaaaahh

[@AngelMercury]

I ended up watching this whole thing and I love the concepts being played with here but I'm also quite spooked out~~

[@RedBarchettaYYZ]

What FFXIV raid is this? Is the gear good?

[@Ippiki9]

This guy did phenomenal Attack on Titan animations too, real artist

[@brody6334]

Imagine dreaming that shit, knowing that it’s a dream but being unable to wake up. Fuck me I’d literally wake up dead.

[@Yaakushi]

I miss when strummer reacted to this :( thanks mr editor for putting this together

[@cailee9820]

That's so weird -- right before you said "this reminds me of Cube," I was thinking the exact same thing. I guess it was because of the ladder up to the crawlspace into another room or something.

[@KnightOfCarim2]

SAME THAT'S SO WEIRD

[@ThePoshPanda]

This backrooms stuff makes me think of the SCP Universe.

[@joshuad6604]

Had a lot of fun watching this. 096 SCP short film and SCP dollhouse are other good videos in a similar vein.

[@ruick78]

What i like about backrooms its dosnt require to see much of the monsters, more goes on based feeling uneasiness and fear unknown

[@Sundablakr]

Whoever decided on the sound design for the Backrooms monsters is a fucking horror genius. It's so disturbing.

[@fierypandaofdoom]

1 researcher missing on the way back in Motion Detected, fucking hell rip my guy.

[@imnotallergic]

It reminds me of cube movie too, also of this new game Lethal Company

[@Lewdology]

Ah yes, The Deep Dungeon experience. On the real, I wonder if we ever get a good movie adaptation of House of Leaves, at least the part that has to do with the labyrinth, its such a cool idea for spooky found footage flick... The rest of the book is too bespoke for the purpose of it being an actual book.

[@danielhenderson9719]

If there were ever an adaptation to House of Leaves, I feel like it would be butchered like World War Z, where they just pick a completely different story to tell for whatever reason.

[@samwilkinson9309]

I was gunna have a little watch... Looks like I watched the whole thing XD That was real good, I'd only ever seen the first one

[@themorbidkid187]

29:56 graduated in 2005 lol Im right there with ya Xeems.

[@FoxJayvids]

Yo, these backrooms should be deep dungeon content. lol

[@mahabindralgupta8614]

Crazy to think that there is a job opening somewhere back there

[@twocatsgaming6628]

Cube was a really neat movie

[@zStarrrr]

Never clicked on a vid so fast

[@vornamenachname6282]

35:40 "This is SE trying to figure out what is wrong with MCH" LMAO

[@jirokoshibailey2052]

That's kane in the intro looking at the camera. Edit: a liminal space is 'a space between spaces' for example a door frame: but on a horrible chance (there's still 1 in a trillion chance! You could be that one) that even walking through your front door; it's now 1000km long walking through said door

[@MrMikedejeuner]

pretty cool to see kratos reacting to the backrooms

[@Kambra]

24:45 imagine if they all started screaming and running from him as if he was the monster, so hes chasin them around like wait for me wtf

[@Makkle4000]

Bald in the backrooms

category final fantasy xiv online

[@LuckyDuke468]

Ye annoying, stopped watching after he kept talking about it even when researchers were literally IN

[@ps2ps2guy]

Reminds me of the game Control

[@dbull620]

Kinda reminds me of Marble Hornets or something of that ilk.

[@Slipperyslab]

Yeah its very similar to marble hornets in a way

[@JaVa_Tiger]

I fuckin' love this series, and I've never clicked on a video faster

[@andrewwatkins4852]

The drill reminds me of the dentist office who filed in cavity my god that hurts

[@Yotes_]

Damn, you graduated the year I was born... That was 20 years ago

[@Chrisfragger1]

You know how you know it's fake? That guy running for his LIFE from the stick figure? He'd have dropped that camera a LONG time ago...

[@rom2Z4]

god damn house of leaves vibe

[@MrBlayZin]

30:47 jjk reference???

[@isaakvandaalen3899]

Chick at the end glitched through unreality and ended up in the frontrooms RIP.

[@anonymusug727]

This Reminded me so much of Control (The Game)

[@imnotallergic]

Or lethal company

[@TehAntiSpammer]

Aww hell yeah. Xeno once again providing premium FFXIV content. :'D

[@jacklarsen4]

Isnt the guy who set off the alarms part of the same team who r seeing him in the security cam at the end of second to last vid? Or completely separate group of people?

[@foulXD]

i think its the same dude. i guess he somehow traveled through time when he walked into that small space.

[@paixeon8816]

Is nobody going to mention how potd is literally the backrooms in FFXIV?

[@blimp..]

lol i wish this stuff scared me but i dont get it it is just an empty office building if you like this kind of vibe you should check out beyond the black rainbow

[@BMdegen]

no other world and no other truth no other aim and no other path no other will and no other fall no other mind, no other heart

[@tyty8484]

How did they make the sets???? Also TFW you fall out onto Skin Walker Ranch.

[@dedtective]

I believe the backrooms and facility “sets” are arranged + animated in a 3D animation software like Blender. It’s phenomenal work especially considering how realistic it looks

[@tyty8484]

@@dedtective I mean like that first set of the yellow corridors. Its like a 70s/80s/90s department store or office building. My initial thought us that they found a location to film but i cant believe that they just found a place that was already arranged like that. The layout is so crazy but at the same time it doesnt look like CGI. Did they have it set up like that? If so is it very simple? How long would it take, how much would it cost? Honestly for being amature "found footage" this is what i found to be the most unsettling part.

[@fnerXVI]

Wendigoon interviewed the guy who made the backrooms series. It's an interesting listen and I highly recommend it.

I was scared until the shit show up , if only it didn't look so scuffed , that totally ruined the immersion for the whole video for me x_x.

...teenager cheap terror bullshit - if you want REAL horror, try to max out all crafting/gathering jobs in the free trial.

[@dingdongspaghetti]

that ain't horror that's just self-harm
