Film Theory: The Complete Lore of Backrooms SOLVED... What's Next?!

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...

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

him saying and then screaming "that is not a person THAT IS NOT A PERSON" genuinely gave me shivers. such great writing and im honesty glad he made it out

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

Mat pat chasing you down while screaming " I NEED TO SHOW YOU THE LORE " is terrifying

This really needs to be a psychological thriller movie about a guy in an underground maze who starts losing his mind. Imagine Cube crossed with Cast Away.

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.

Imagine how Kane feels when he realizes someone finally gets all of this stuff and can truly enjoy what hes made and all the work behind it

He’s covered the backrooms, now when will MatPat teach us the lore of the SCP Foundation?

I can always rely on Mat Pat to give an existential crisis from a series about bacteria and time travel

Please tell me I'm not the only one that got super excited for Mat giving a shout out to the Lockpicking Lawyer, it made me feel like I am not alone binge watching any imaginable way to open a lock

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

"That is not a person" repeated with varying terror was so well done, honestly. I've rewatched this a few times already, and it doesn't fail to make my skin crawl.

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

Why has Mat never mentioned the coughing some of the people are doing? I always assumed it was because of the bacteria infecting them.

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.

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!

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.

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.
