    Speedrunners are definitely going to find a way to make use of this clipping out of the world glitch.
  • @Yuuki-nd4by
    For those confused, there are multiple canons of the Backrooms. MatPat is taking about Kane's personal canon, not the wiki, liminal archives or the fandom.
  • 8:27 "Jokes on you, I lost my mind years ago" Unironically, this is exactly why MatPat would be the only person to find a way to survive The Backrooms
  • I think that the "Don't move, stay still" wall writing isn't telling you to stay still when the Monster is around, but rather to not move once you have landed in the Backrooms until you have a reason to.
  • Imagine if you no-clipped into the backrooms and saw MatPat staring at a wall and furiously scribbling down something in his notebook
  • @sean5558
    Honestly the concept of being trapped in never ending corridors is horrifying enough without needing a tri pod monster
  • @kjs026
    Bro I love how much matpat puts so much effort into a survival guide for a fictional place
  • @Nope-zq5mw
    Imagine going into the backrooms and just seeing him wandering the backrooms and taking notes.
  • @syn5488
    One nitpick: The throwing shoes at the ceiling seems very disadvantageous. We know that the monster can hear and see so as soon as you start throwing stuff around and making noise, it'll probably eventually find out your location.
  • @SoniasWay
    Just the feeling of being alone and trying to escape a monster in some kind of an endless maze is absolutely terrifying
  • @xzafir515
    Being a giant Backrooms fan I love the optimism Mat has
  • @fox4dayz278
    Normal sponsors: "Eat healthier" "Do you like MMOs?" "Save money!" MatPat's sponser: "How about some friggin' Scotish land??"
  • @amithius8202
    "Don't go too far, I am not wearing pants," yes that is a great tip for others lol I'd probably summon the monster with laughter if I read that in the Backrooms
  • @EnderEye73
    So I know I’m late, like a LOT, but here are some things that I noticed Do not look in the filing cabinets, there can possibly be an entity waiting in there, and you won’t be able to escape it once you open it. And with the ceiling, (you can fact check me on this) I’m pretty sure that hounds, one of the entities in the backrooms, can fall from the ceiling, so they are most likely in that little space between the ceiling and the hanging ceiling. That’s all, but you can fact check me on all of that!
  • About the vents, there's one potential issue with that. I've seen some non-official cannon things where dog like creatures with human heads reside in the air ducts. Of course this may not apply to the official backrooms, however it brings up the very important possibility that there may be more unseen danger in the vents then in the maze.
  • I feel like it's worthy to point out that I'm pretty sure he's talking about the lore in Kane's video's since there's a few differences from the wiki and Kane's videos about Level 0. And yes, there's more than one level, a lot more.
  • @thatoneguy2886
    you know the backrooms lore makes me yearn for a horror story with a smart cast, people who make all the right calls and still die anyway because sometimes you can't outthink an Eldrich God
  • @winniechan384
    Somehow I found this video very useful, because all I could do is wonder what if I got caught by a sadistic persin and got trapped in a crazy maze that the kidnapper built or something.
  • @BullyMaguireOG
    Kane did something amazing. He gave the backrooms a proper backstory while respecting many of the original ideas. He's got by far the best idea for the story.
