The Backrooms is a store in Wisconsin with god awful yellow that got turned into a fricking analogue horror series on YouTube. The Backrooms videos comprise of people running around a 900 square kilometer maze that comprises of many liminal spaces. The Backrooms sets place in the 1990s to fit the limited technology of the analog horror theme but this is probably just the creator being lazy. This seires also completely runied the backrooms concept by becoming viral and having people that don't understand the backrooms making videos like "wHat HAppEns if (Insert something stupid here) EnTers tHE BaCKroomS!"

Episodes[edit]
As of May 28th there are 22 episodes in the series.
Episode 1 “Found Footage”
In 1991, while filming, a cameraman trips and falls into the ground, finding himself in the Backrooms. While examining a wall with strange symbols, he hears a distorted screeching sound behind him and turns to see a black stringy mess (the creator couldn’t be bothered coming up with something more original) that begins to run at him for existing. Instead of ditching the camera to run faster like a normal person, he records like your average YouTuber and keeps pointing the camera at the bacteria for the views. The cameraman escapes to a lower floor, experiencing various architectural failures that were probably made by someone high in magic shrooms before being led back up. Shortly after the bacteria purses him yet again. He hides from the entity in a narrow wall leading to a steep slope, at which point the creature charges at him, grabbing him and causing him to drop his camera down the chute, which phases back into reality and falls from the sky in 1996.
Episode 2 “Mar_11_90_ARCHIVE.tar”
An opened .tar archive displays images of the Backrooms and personnel. The creator probably made this when they were lazy. A very low effort video.
Episode 3 “The Third Test”
On July 2, 1988, the Async Research Institute conducts the third test of their doorway to the Backrooms. Then someone using a corndog as a microphone explains that in April of that year, a press conference was held where the vice director of Async, Ivan Beck, stated the goal of the project was to use the Backrooms as a place to cram all your belongings inside.
Episode 4 “First Contact”
Async performs their 6th test to their doorway to the Backrooms and opens a gateway. This event also happened at the same time as an Earthquake which is a shameful attempt to create fear.
Episode 5 “Missing Persons” Reported missing person cases begin to skyrocket shortly after the opening of the door to the Backrooms. While on a routine expedition, several Async employees randomly discover a dead body sitting against a wall covered in a black mold-like growth.
Episode 6 “Autopsy Report”
An autopsy is conducted on the body found in "Missing Persons". The medical examiner determines that growth is a malignant form of some random disease no one care’s about. The examiner asks some nerd where the body came from. Since the animator was too lazy to remember where he came from the scene then suddenly cuts to a TV that flashes through numerous images before settling on the Threshold, with the sun overlayed on top. This scene is horrible because it breaks the found footage theme by showing an actually good video.
Episode 7 “Informational video”
On February 29, 1990, Async employee Peter Tench gets separated from his expedition group while investigating strange noises. After seeing his group vanish in front of him (maybe he hallucinating), Peter begins desperately searching for them, but he finds a dark, small room that features the facade of a house on the other end. He finds his way back to the entrance only to find an observation room that was absent when he initially entered. He accesses the room, sounding an alarm in the process.
Episode 8 “Motion Detected”
In 1990, Async sets up motion-activated cameras in the Complex to see if any black monsters start throwing chairs or something. A compilation video is made from all available recordings. The first clips are inconspicuous, featuring employees passing between pillars, the doorway barrier closing, and a crappy microphone bought off of wish.com. The final recording catches a dark mess peering from behind a distant wall. Since the creator yet again is being lazy they don’t even bother showing what it is.
Episode 9 "Prototype" In 1982, Async tests a prototype of the "Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System" (some scientific mumbo jumbo no one can explain) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. A metallic ball is already present in the machine as it is activated, which during the test does not disappear, although hard to see because the creator couldn't be bothered to let the viewers see what the hell was going on.
Episode 10 "Pitfalls" While on a routine expedition in the Backrooms, Async researchers discover a weired room (later referred to as "Room 14D") containing deep rectangular pits almost like they were made so someone would fall in for no reason. Some nerd offers to cross over to open the door on the other side. After crossing, he opens the door when he begins to urgently tell the cameraman to cross over and record what he sees. The camera man reluctantly begins crossing. Then suddenly he "acidentally" trips and falls into one of the pits. This is proably because the animator could not be bothered to show what was in there. While examining his new surroundings, the cameraman hears distant screams. He advances towards the source of the sound, leading him to the average liminal space houses that appears to be set at night. Entering a house, he discovers that the source of the sound was not a person, but another black stringy mess that begins to pursue him for breathing.
Episode 11 "Report" Higher-ups at Async review the footage recorded by the cameraman in "Pitfalls". They are shocked by the existence of hostile life in the Complex. So they seal off access to the portion of the Complex that leads to Room 14D and we never know what was behind that door because of the animator being lazy.
Episode 12 "9780415263573" It apears the animator had a stroke when typing numbers and made this random string if numbers for the title. The video is just black and white footage of a car noclipping into the backrooms.
