Id like to think noclipping is just ur atoms perfectly lining up in a way so u fall through the earth, but idk it could also just be a glitch in reality but that would be a lot less explainable

The part where it said "the more times it remembers something, the less it does" honestly sent my mind straight to thinking about computers. Kinda like when files are shared online and copied. Every time the file is copied and shared again, a little bit of the file is lost. Do that over and over again, and after enough times, the file becomes corrupted.

I love this whole plot and narrative, the backrooms is a concept that can go on infinitely tbh. I feel like your theory at the end concerning the voice in the “I remember” video being the voice of the backrooms makes so much sense because then, the bacteria monsters attacking those who end up in the backrooms are saying “you’re not part of this memory” and eradicates them. Maybe the spots these characters noclip in are areas that the backrooms itself is trying to remember, and that character just unfortunately was at that spot. Or perhaps the backrooms is us, our forgotten memories that end up in another dimension and the bacteria monster is our bacteria (that makes us forget) collected. Those are my takes :P I’m so excited for the movie

6:50 i think that outline was the itself the room, cause if u look at it and the room its verys similar or even the same cause that shape if u look.

Imagine if they made a Backrooms movie with the main character having a photographic memory.

Kane definitely studied bacteria on his own and didnt tell anyone so that it could be a fire theory in the future.

I've always thought that liminal spaces look 'alive' somehow like they're aware of themselves.

13:07 right I remember that name it had to do with the Soviet Union. it was in Stranger Things.😅😊 but yes, I like memory.

11:09 oh my God, this is perfect because I have just been trying to remember important memories and dates and how they are starting to come back to me, but mainly human memory can blur and you can hallucinate but also sometimes when you watch a video for the first time you can get the layers mixed up and think one part comes before the other and sometimes I don’t know what the movie is doing because I never fully paid attention.😅😊

10:02 I just like the hazmat suits, but yeah, that makes sense. It’s just a new movie for people who want to see a New World that’s just empty and full of yellow wallpaper a true introduction to the state of Wisconsin because that’s where the image is from.😅😊

9:51 it’s funny how you made a parody of the company but with the B and s as the first letter. I like how that’s a little subtle hint, even if you never intended it to be.😅😊
