The series tells us about the small interdimensional visitors known as the Cornerfolk and their effect on the people who encounter them. These visitors can travel through dimensions via what Riley Tillon, the protagonist of the first episode, refers to as "corners," points where realities, mostly [[AnotherDimension Two-Dimensional planes]], intersect. Hence the name "corners," due to the shape they theorically have.

The series is centered around the small titular transdimensional visitors known as the Cornerfolk and their effect in the people who encounter them, ranging from fear in the case of a small friend group painting an abandoned nursery to [[SanitySlippage obsession and eventual worshipness]] in the case of an "inspired man".

These small visitors travel through dimensions via what Riley refers to as "corners", points where realities, mostly [[AnotherDimension Two-Dimensional planes]], intersect. Hence the name "corners", due to the shape they theorically have.

It's first episode centers around a man named Riley Tillon documenting his discovery of the beings and his fall into obsession with them, eventually culminating in him entering their homeworld, which he dubbed the "Cornerworld".
----
!!This series provides examples of:

* AdmiringTheAbomination: Riley Tillon and [[spoiler:implicitly, the inspiration for him]] become extremely obsessed of the Cornerfolk and the Cornerworld, up to the point they lose their job over their investigation of them and find themselves unable to stop dreaming about the Cornerworld.
* AdultFear: The Cornerbabies are folded human babies who appear randomly inside the windows of the abandoned nursery and it's vicinity, implying that these babies accidentally managed to enter the Cornerworld and this is the result.
* ApocalypticLog: Riley Tillon documents his SanitySlippage in video, he eventually tries to travel to the Cornerworld and ends up with his organs folded in many axes, and is under the care of his friends as of 2020.
* AmbiguousSituation: Most of the information we have from the Cornerworld are merely theoretical and/or fictionalized in CORNERFOLK, leaving it unclear what's real and what's not.
* AuthorAvatar: CORNERGIRL reveals that Alex Kansas not only is a canon character to the story, but he also [[spoiler:created the first CORNERFOLK video in-universe, with whoever's filming the video being the inspiration for Riley Tillon.]]
* CanonWelding: The series was originally it's own thing, but as of [[spoiler: The season 2 finale of ''The Monument Mythos'', it has been retroactively connected to it via TheMultiverse.]]
* DimensionalTraveller: The titular entities are this, using corners to travel between the Cornerworld and multiple realities, mainly Two-Dimensional ones. [[spoiler:And as revealed later, Alex's Inspiration is able to do this as well.]]
* EldritchLocation: In the little that we see of it, the Cornerworld seems to be this. It's entirely made out of, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin corners]].

* HumanSacrifice: In CORNERGIRL, the man recording the video is apparently sacrificing a girl to the Cornerworld, although he refers to her as "luggage", implying that this might not be the reason at all.
* InnBetweenTheWorlds: Riley suspects that his home may act like a place to rest for the Cornerfolk when he's not around, as travelling through dimensions seems to tire them up.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: An in-universe example. [[spoiler:The first episode, CORNERFOLK, is revealed to be inspired by a real man's story, who first appears in CORNERGIRL.]]
* RoomFullOfCrazy: By the end of CORNERFOLK, Riley has been drawing the Cornerworld for weeks and hanged most of his drawings to his room.
* ShowWithinAShow: The very first episode is revealed to be this in Alex's commentary, although he remarks that the folk are infact real.
* SoundtrackDissonance: Mixed with CreepyMonotone in CORNERGIRL. During the author's monologue, the voice of a man explaining what corners are can be heard.
* StylisticSuck: CORNERBABY is clearly edited in some sort of Windows Movie Maker-like program, in spite of the footage being recorded in 2021.

* StealthSequel: [[spoiler: The season 2 finale of ''WebVideo/TheMonumentMythos'' reveals that the survivors of [[ApocalypseHow The Great Division]] have transformed into the Cornerfolk.]]
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: This is the situation Alex Kansas has to go through, the reason being [[spoiler:that he's a "cthonaut", encharged with the mission to spread the [[AlternateHistory story]] of his [[WebVideo/TheMonumentMythos homeworld]] with this new universe, which is heavily implied to have become [[EldritchLocation the Cornerworld]] by the end of ''The Monument Mythos''.]]
* WasOnceHuman: [[spoiler:The Cornerfolk are none other than the [[Webvideo/TheMonumentMythos Deanverse]]'s humans, who survived The Great Division.]]
