The Story Behind The Backrooms (Kane Pixels Version)
According to Kane Parsons, the story begins in 1982 with the Async Research Institute.
They created a machine to open a pathway to another dimension filled with infinite yellow rooms, known as the Complex, also referred to as the Backrooms.
Purpose of the Experiment

| Hazmat-suited explorers struggle forward in The Backrooms trailer, where even reality itself feels artificial and out of place. |
The dimension was meant to be used for:
- Storage of essential supplies
- Emergency shelters
- Solving overpopulation
What Went Wrong?
A major error damaged reality, creating cracks known as Null Zones. These act as entry points into the Backrooms. The process of entering them accidentally is called no-clipping.
Experiments Inside the Backrooms
The trailer suggests that researchers:
- Monitor the area using CCTV
- Wear hazmat suits
- Conduct experiments on entities, bodies, and bacteria
- Study how the dimension generates power
Real Origin of The Backrooms
The Backrooms concept started in 2019 on 4chan as an internet horror story.
It described endless yellow rooms with no escape, creating a feeling of isolation and fear. Over time, fans expanded the concept by adding different levels, creatures, and survival rules.
Kane Parsons was also inspired by this original 2019 post. However, his version of the Backrooms is quite different from the internet lore.
In the original internet version, the Backrooms are divided into multiple levels, and each level has its own dangers and survival rules. Some levels also contain terrifying entities.
In contrast, Kane Parsons’ version focuses on a single, massive complex with countless rooms, creating a more realistic and mysterious atmosphere.
