    I feel like out of all the backrooms series on KZread, this one captures the original essence of what the backrooms was. The harsh yellow light, complete silence other than the constant drone of overhead lights and your own breathing/heartbeat, discombobulating hallways and rooms that make no sense, plus the uncertainty of not knowing if there’s anyone else there with you. While I still do enjoy Kane Pixels series and the lore he is creating, its moments like the one where the guy looks up the stairs calling for his mom only to see a never ending staircase that capture that original terror of being truly alone. Great stuff and I’ve now become invested in this series as well.

    I agree. The mistake people make is trying to explain too much. "What the hell is this place?" is much scarier than "It's a secret government experiment.". Let alone the ludicrous wiki MMO with levels and factions.

    I feel like Matt is the one who best captures the liminal concept of the Backrooms. The sheer horror contained in his hyper-realistic dream-like worlds is way scarier than any monster or jumpscare. Kane does a great job at writing a story and building up the lore in a mysterious way, and I love it. But Matt expresses the solitude and despair of the Backrooms/Poolrooms like no one else. His renditions are graphically brilliant and have a dark, claustrophobic touch that no one else has. Also, nice visual tricks and transitions on this one, he got me anxious from the very beginning of the video!

    The thing people get wrong with the back rooms is there’s no need for jumpscares, outlandish creatures or added horror. The situation, imagery and tone is enough. The addition of the transitions and audio mixing adds very tastefully. Edit: For example, the chair at 4:50 is more scary than anything else. The pure fact it’s there, the situation. It’s not meant to be scary which adds to the whole reason ironically why it is. Your work is a pure example of why “Make your mind your worst enemy” is the best kind of horror.

For a human that has grown up inundated with imagery and facts about the world on the internet, the scariest possible thing is the lack of a recognizable element, just as Gen Z humor draws heavily from nonsense.

    As others have said, much less childish than the rest of the "lore" that's been made up about the backrooms and MUCH better grasp of the concept. Good choice cutting out before we can see what happened with the other person. You've really managed to capture the mellow creepiness of liminal spaces, of being alone in a space that seems built for purpose but whose purpose is unknown and can't be figured out. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you put together.

Seriously, these compositions, these shapes and colors of your videos are so compelling, I have no doubt if one were transported there for real, they would quickly become convinced that all of their life leading to that moment was a dream. These depictions of the backrooms feel like the insides some sort of deep unconscious dead-zone outside of reality itself. Or inside the bowels of the mind of an insane god.

Also at the end I am pretty sure he finds an A-Sync office and escapes, which is a way more believable reason that the footage was found other than in Kane Pixels where the camera survives falling from the sky lol, but it was still cool.

    Such a quick and clever setup in the beginning with the piano video! It answers the question right away as to how the camera made it to the backrooms, and it provides an eerie and nostalgic opening to the horrors ahead. Great work!

    Your videos give me a different feeling than what other people are saying. I’ve never felt so safe yet so on-edge, so liberated yet trapped, and so tense yet so relaxed when watching any video. Knowing that there isn’t any entities brings me relief, but even as I breathe slowly and comfortably, my lungs tense as the maze continues.

    The vibes of this are incredible. I commend your creativity with the various encounters. To me the fear really does come from your own mind scrambling to rationalize why and how the hell this place is the way it is, and what absurd horror you *might* encounter if you just keep going. You have to press on because there's no other option, and the fact that there's nothing to run from puts all the pressure on your decision-making. The way my stomach dropped at the sight of a seemingly normal human being just casually lurking? Excellent.

The simplistic notion of just adding the slight bumpy windy noises on the camera as the handled bumps it and breaths on it adds so much and the way it's slightly off centered makes it look like it's from actual amateur camera footage and not a first person view. The atmosphere and unnerve you build in your videos are great!

    @Matt Studios I find your take on backrooms to be the best one. The fact there are no monsters and entities is exactly what backrooms should be, not just another jump scare, but an existential psychological dread that comes from the unknown. People put all sorts of entities and definitions on this strange space, not realizing that by doing that they take away from the basis of the unknown, unexplainable and ineffable. Literally, the only thing I think would improve the ominous setting would be the inclusion of the non-euclidean spaces. That would put the whole thing on another level.

    It just occurred to me that the whole Backrooms storyline is a lot like the weird fiction story "The Willows" by Algernon Blackwood. H.P. Lovecraft called The Willows the finest supernatural tale in Western literature. The Willows starts out in a peaceful setting with completely commonplace, normal phenomena, but begins adding subtle, strange occurrences until, by the end, you have no idea what's going on and you're totally on edge. This First Encounter production does a great job of duplicating that structure. Nice work!

    Okay, have this paused at a minute through and already had the most visceral feeling of terror one could feel. I have no idea why because I have binged all if not many of the Backrooms videos on this platform. Somehow just by utilizing very few light sources and extra geometry, with a near infinite staircase going in one direction (somehow got slight vertigo by the character looking up the stairs), you have managed to make an intro infinitely more terrifying than anyone else. Well done. Will add an Edit at the end of the video.

I am regularly in control of my dream and despite being terrifying I really enjoy exploring those areas. Although sometimes the silhouettes of people and/or creatures are very creepy. Excellent videos. I hope you can continue creating content.

    I just found this page not having seen these types of videos before but I’m mesmerized. It’s terrifying yet artistic. I found myself in a trance at times during this video creating my own reality around what was in front of me - the confusion of how I got here, the paranoia of finally finding another human or that maybe one is following me and I can’t tell, wondering how I know when day is ending and when should I sleep but not knowing how to decide where to sleep because I am so lost and everything looks the same. Will I ever wake up? Am I even alive in this strange, eerie world? Then the details that everyone was mentioning, the sparse dialogue and peculiar placement of chairs and wall outlets make me wonder who else has been here and why? What brought us here? These videos are so well done and truly unsettling while being so simple in a way. Excellent job, subscribing!

    Oh man, I love this iteration of The Backrooms. The entities are a fun, spooky concept but nothing scared me more than the original images of liminal spaces back before it became SCP 2.0. They are scary because they twisted our nostalgia, took what was comfortable and familiar and twisted it just slightly to unnerve us. And this captures that beautifully. Just a random kid who is the random victim of the uncaring backrooms. Clipping into a altered version of your own home is so horrifying, I love this!

    I used to have a recurring nightmare as a kid that was very similar to this. Started out walking through the back hallways of this lovely hotel in Vermont (my family would vacation at.. (The Woodstock Inn) most of the hotel was really warm and pleasant- not creepy at all.. but I remember some of the deeper hallways feeling very desolate and spooky. A definite Shining vibe… but I had never seen the Shining as a kid… Anyway, in the recurring nightmare I would have- I would wander from the warm, well light lobby, through the cozier upstairs hallways and eventually find myself in the spookier, isolated hallways where things became less cozy and more liminal. Eventually I would make my way up some narrow stairs to a single room. It was a furnished, normal room except for it had a very small door in the corner which opened to reveal another stair case that went up to another room. Inside that room it was empty except for another small doorway which opened to reveal another narrow staircase leading up to another, smaller empty room with a single jack-in-the-box on the floor. I would find myself stuck in that room. And you guessed it.. there was definitely an evil clown in the box.
