Found Footage Camera Operators
Male Camera Operator
"Holy shit, what the fuck is this place?"
A normal teenager goofing off with his friends, and who no-clips into the Backrooms by accident.- Bolivian Army Ending: He gets grabbed by the Bacteria and drops the camera, which falls back to the real world, leaving his fate currently indeterminable.
- Creator Cameo: Though difficult to see on the older style of video camera, the scene card indicates that the camera operator's name is Kane.
- Decoy Protagonist: Despite being the episode POV for most of the first episode, he's soon subjected to a Bolivian Army Ending and later episodes have ASYNC's Hazmat Researchers as the ones holding the camera.
- Non-Action Guy: He appears to be understandably frightened out of his wits and runs for his life to safety when an Entity starts tracking him.
- Oh, Crap!: His first encounter with Bacteria at the "Don't move, stay still" wall message.
- Thwarted Escape: The camera guy hesitates too long... and gets "captured." However, it is implied that the escape chute may have lead to him falling to his death in the real world, so being snatched away may have been a better option, albeit one with an uncertain outcome.
- Uncertain Doom: It doesn't look good for him after the wire entity grabs him, but it actually might have been worse had he clipped back into the real world and fallen through the sky.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: His reaction when he opens a fire exit door, revealing the same yellow-walled level he came from.
Female Camera Operator
"Gone! It just went into the floor!"
A young woman who is filming a small section of clippable ground she found in her garage, when an attempt at putting a length of tape measure through causes the hole to grow unstable and suck her in as well.- Bolivian Army Ending: The Dead-End Room she is hiding in at the end becomes engulfed in glowing green energetic cracks, but the camera signal cuts out, leaving her fate ambiguous at the end of this episode.
- Oh, Crap!: When the strange vines she encounters turns out to have a Bacteria hiding among them.
- Unbroken First-Person Perspective: Subverted, most of the film is viewed like a direct feed to give us a first person view of her experiences. However, this perspective is broken at the very end of the tape. The tape is shown to be on someone's TV set in a living room, implying that someone was watching the video. The identity of the viewer and location is initially a mystery.
- A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: She comes close to breaking free of being tracked by the Bacteria due to inadvertently following the "Don't move, stay still." rule. Unfortunately, fearful curiosity causes her to peek around a corner and become immediately reacquired by the Bacteria, losing the opportunity for a clean escape to locate help.
- Uncertain Doom: It's not looking good for her after the room she finds herself cornered in gets covered in glowing green energetic cracks and the camera cuts out.
ASYNC
ASYNC in General
ASYNC Research Facility
(...) "The program, if granted sufficient backing from the United States government, will offer a solution to all current and future storage and residential needs, and save billions of dollars on property construction and management."
"As human expansion is projected to increase exponentially in the coming decades we must account for these never-before-faced challenges in ways equally never before considered. Here at ASYNC, we believe we have found the solution."
The ASYNC Research Facility is dedicated to studying and researching the Backrooms in order to use them for saving billions with regards to storage and residential needs.- Create Your Own Villain: It's strongly implied in Reunion that Peter Tench was was forced back into the Backrooms to die because ASYNC didn't want anyone finding out about his time-warping experiences. Needless to say, he didn't take it too well, and in Reunion he takes a shotgun from another researcher, shooting them when they try and radio for help, leaving him loose in the Backrooms and armed, which may prove to be a bigger problem than a few awkward questions. Damage Control shows, however, that Peter immediately attempted to escape the ASYNC facility rather than lurk in wait inside the Backrooms, getting disarmed along the way and dying after he (supposedly) tripped and hit his head on a rock after making his escape. It also suggests that Peter wasn't returned to the Backrooms by ASYNC after all, but whether this is true or not is unclear.
- Didn't Think This Through:
- The attempt to cover up Peter Tench's time travel incident was seemingly done in a haphazard fashion as the survivor in question was still within striking of distance of the threshold, and took advantage of the situation to lie in ambush of the next expedition exploring the area. As a result, the survivor stole a shotgun from an armed researcher and badly wounded him with it. All of this was possible thanks to the perpetrator's overconfidence in their plan to sweep the problems under the carpet.
- Damage Control acknowledges this, with the video being a meeting between an ASYNC representative and various employees, detailing the events of Tench's experiences, as well as the events that led to his eventual escape from their facility. It does contradict the implications of Reunion by suggesting that Peter returned to the Backrooms out of his own madness rather than being forcibly put there by ASYNC, but regardless of whether this is true or not it was still monumentally stupid of them to send in researchers as usual knowing he was still out there and mentally unstable.
- Gone Horribly Right: In a darkly ironic way. ASYNC's goal was to use the Backrooms to solve overpopulation, housing and storage issues. If more and more people continue to disappear into the Backrooms, there'll soon be no such thing as overcrowding. Crisis solved!
- Gone Horribly Wrong: The Backrooms were initially assumed to be harmless, but once people around the world started disappearing and Marvin E. Leigh encountered the first documented entity, the safety of the alternate reality was called into question.
- Hijacking Cthulhu: They're attempting to use the Backrooms as a means to solve storage and residential needs while making lots of money from commercialization. home_27647.mov implies that this backfired horribly on them, with the Backrooms as of Found Footage #2 being completely devoid of human life once again.
- Just Think of the Potential!: The possibility to make unfathomable sums of cash by commercialising an infinite amount of space has seemingly made some of ASYNC's higher-ups selectively blind to the dangers of the Backrooms, pressing on with their "A-Space" project despite the rapidly mounting evidence that it's a Very Bad Idea.
- Mad Scientist: Averted. The researchers at ASYNC are all normal people, and the ones watching Marvin's footage of the Bacteria are clearly terrified by it. One researcher in particular is implied to have made the call to seal up the Threshold with a blast door. Rather, it's a Corrupt Corporate Executive (most likely Ivan Beck) who approves of the Backrooms being used to make profit and not any of the scientists.
- Mundane Utility: ASYNC tore open a hole in reality to use the Backrooms for... storage and residential needs.
- Reality Warper: The entryway is able to open and close a hole in reality itself in order for the researchers to enter the anomaly.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Zig-zagged, ASYNC, has implemented common sense safety measures for exploring the Backrooms. These include Level A hazmat suits, traveling in groups of three or more inside, having a tether back to the Threshold, and even having an alarm while it is open as an audio guide back to safety. Employees are also obligated to report any injuries just like at regular companies. Once they become aware of living dangers inside the Backrooms, they set up barriers to block off access and when exploring the area, they use remote camera robots, build protective railings and platforms over pitfalls, arm their explorers to try to protect them, and have an armed security response ready to go if a threat is encountered. However, behind the scenes, corners are cut to ensure investors don't get cold feet from signs of trouble.
- Report shows that they're genuinely concerned by the captured footage of the Bacteria, and have blocked off the hallway leading to its last known location, as well as fortifying the entrance area. However, we already know that entities have access to the Threshold sector from the Motion Detected episode.
- A warning sign of potential corner-cutting appeared in Presentation with a proposal to commercialize the virtually infinite space, seemingly disregarding the spatial anomalies and Marvin's encounter with a Bacteria entity. Someone in the foundation threw caution to the wind to propose development of public spaces in The Backrooms.
- Reunion shows the explorers, Marvin included, being tasked to return to the Pitfalls area and move past it. This backfires when they are ambushed by Peter, the researcher who got warped in time back in Informational Video. Turns out ASYNC stooped low enough to fake the man's death to silence him and sealed him within the labyrinth. Maybe.
- Research, Inc.: ASYNC is a research institute which developed the technology necessary to open a portal to the Backrooms... And then tried to make as much money from this as possible.
- Uncertain Doom: By the time of Found Footage, the Backrooms has been completely deserted with not one ASYNC employee in sight. home_27647.mov confirms that their A-Space project will at some point fail, but it's unknown what happened to the company itself and if there were any repercussions.
Ivan Beck
Vice Director Ivan Beck
Vice Director of ASYNC.- Ambiguously Evil: It's unknown if he is the one that approved of the A-Space program, which commercializes the Backrooms and provides living space despite the horrors the lurk around the corner. Beck doesn't show that much emotion when he's overseeing the A-Space program, despite knowing of The Backrooms' anomalous properties since Autopsy Report.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Possibly. Beck is heavily implied to be the one who approved of the A-Space program, which will generate massive profit for ASYNC despite the clear risk of turning the Backrooms into a massive residential and storage unit.
- The Ghost: He hasn't appeared on-screen, but he is referenced numerous times in the series.
- Minor Major Character: Despite being the Vice Director of ASYNC and possible creator of the A-Space program, Ivan Beck has not been seen yet.
- Newhart Phonecall: The unlisted bonus video
for Reunion has a phone recording where an ASYNC employee makes a call to Ivan but we don't hear Ivan himself, so we can only speculate his lines from the employee's responses.
Hazmat Researchers in General
ASYNC Researchers
"This wasn't in the last report."
"Living... down there?"
These researchers are sent through the entryway created by ASYNC into the Backrooms in order to study and find out as much about the anomaly as possible.- The Faceless: None of the hazmat researchers so far have had their faces revealed. Even before suiting up at the start of Pitfalls, the camera angle only allows the viewer to see the back of one researcher's head for a couple of frames.
- Hazmat Suit: Justified as there are most likely all sorts of undiscovered and dangerous chemicals, biohazards, and life forms inside the Backrooms...including ones that will mimic human voices and tear through the hallways after any living being.
- Non-Action Guy: The Hazmat researchers are exactly that, researchers who are incapable of defending themselves. As such, most of them are expected to stay out of danger and avoid any hostile entities. When Marv encounters a screaming Bacteria, he runs for his life while his team scrambles to get poor Marv to safety.
- Power Trio: Always seen in groups of three as per foundation mandate.
- Radio Voice: Most of their communication is done over radio, and their voices sound as distorted as one would expect from early 90's transceivers.
Marvin E. Leigh
Marvin ('Marv') E. Leigh
"Oh my god. I think... somebody's been living down here."
The Hazmat Camera Operator in Pitfalls, who quite literally stumbles into one of the most unforgettable areas yet.- Action Survivor: He keeps pressing on despite falling more than once and absolutely barrels down the hallways and streets to escape the screaming nightmare behind him and get to safety... which he successfully does.
- Ascended Extra: Marvin appears as one of the researchers at the beginning of Informational Video, but doesn't get a significant role until Pitfalls.
- Butt-Monkey: From losing a fellow researcher in Informational Video, to encountering a Bacteria in Pitfalls, to being held at gunpoint in Reunion, something goes horribly wrong in every expedition that we see Marvin go on.
- Dude, Not Funny!: Isn't at all amused when Mark and Randall refer to the Bacteria as "Marvin's Friend" in Reunion. Unsurprising, given he was nearly dragged off to an unknown-but-probably-unpleasant fate by the thing.
- In-Universe Nickname: His fellow researchers like to call him "Marv."
- Oh, Crap!: When he spots the entity that's been mimicking cries for help."That's not a person... (Beat, entity starts screeching demonically at the top of its lungs) That is not a fucking person!"
Mark Blume
Mark Blume
You wouldn't want to be on the other end of any gun, Marvin.
"He's got my gun! He's got my gun! I repeat, he's got my gun!"
An armed researcher who appears in Reunion.- Ascended Extra: Mark is the researcher in Pitfalls who crosses the pit room and goes through the door. In Reunion, he gets a larger role, a more distinct appearance, and a shotgun.
- Comically Missing the Point: When Marvin mentions that he wouldn't want to be on the business end of the shotgun Mark is holding, he quips that Marvin wouldn't want to be on the end of any gun. Marvin is simply commenting on how intimidating Mark's shotgun looks, but he does agree that Mark has a point.
- Paper Tiger: In spite of his confident demeanor and intimidating appearance, he's still just a scientist with a gun and minimal training. Peter easily manages to ambush him and wrestle away his gun, leaving him completely defenseless.
- Tempting Fate: He tells Marvin that he wouldn't want to be on the other end of any gun, in response to Marvin's "Wouldn't wanna be on the other end of that." Mark is later ambushed and finds himself, Marvin and Randal held at gunpoint by Mark's issued shotgun.
- A Tragedy of Impulsiveness: Under pressure, Mark panics and radios for armed support and then declares being held at gunpoint by a hostile. This causes Peter, who is holding Mark's shotgun, to also panic and fire.
- Uncertain Doom: He's heard violently coughing after being shot in the side and is stated to be in critical condition by a supervisor in Damage Control.
Peter Tench (SPOILERS!)
Dr. Peter Tench
"They took my life from me, Marv. Everyone thinks I'm fucking dead!"
An ASYNC Hazmat researcher, who serves as the camera operator for Informational Video.- Accidental Suicide: In Damage Control, the ASYNC representative claims that he tripped and cracked his head open on a rock while desperately trying to flee the research facility.
- Ambiguous Situation: It's unclear whether ASYNC forced Peter back into the Backrooms, or he fell into a bout of paranoid schizophrenia, as the ASYNC representative claimed. On one hand, ASYNC's explanation chimes with Kane's comments that the organization isn't meant to be evil and Peter suffering a Sanity Slippage from what he's been through is more than understandable. However, it is odd that Peter chose to flee into the Backrooms rather than outside, which he immediately does after taking the gun in Reunion, and unclear why ASYNC sent researchers into the Backrooms knowing that Peter was still out there and mentally unstable without telling them as such, unless it's a case of Poor Communication Kills or some Corrupt Corporate Executive(s) subverting the organization for their own ends.
- Apologetic Attacker: He shouts "I'm sorry!" as he fires at Mark, clearly not wanting to kill anyone but even more concerned with what ASYNC will do to him if he is apprehended.
- Butt-Monkey: Even more so than Marvin. Peter got seperated from his group, but managed to wind up in the Threshold... only three months later, when he's already been declared dead by ASYNC. It's implied he's been forced by the corporation to return to the Backrooms so as to not draw suspicion to the "A-Space" project and to not ruin their cover story of his death.
- Connected All Along:
- The cameras ASYNC set up during Motion Detected were part of an attempt to find out exactly how he managed to disappear.
- It's speculated that he's the narrator of I Remember, the incomprehensible metaphors of this video perhaps befitting his descent into insanity.
- He Knows Too Much: It's suggested in Reunion that ASYNC returned him to the Backrooms to die because his sudden reappearance would completely ruin their 'car crash' cover story, attracting awkward questions about what exactly the organisation is up to, and because if others found out about the time-dilation anomalies it would make pressing on with the "A-Space" project even more difficult to justify. Damage Control seems to clarify this by saying Peter became insane and fled to the Backrooms out of paranoia. However, the fact that the first thing he does when he encounters Marvin's team is to claim they threw him back in, as well as him immediately trying to flee the Complex, throws what is being said into question.
- Oh, Crap!: His reaction in Informational Video when the rest of his group glitch out of reality right in front of him.
- Sanity Slippage: He's clearly far from stable when encountered in Reunion, but the fact that he managed to escape the Backrooms, only to be left for dead with the knowledge that all his friends and family think he's long gone goes some way to explain this, not to mention his isolation for weeks in the Backrooms afterwards. Damage Control suggests instead that he developed paranoid schizophrenia after returning to the ASYNC facility and that he was not abandoned after all, instead believing that the facility was another extension of the Backrooms meant to lull him into a false sense of security, causing him to force his way back through the Threshold in another frantic attempt to 'escape'. However, this cover story is at odds with Peter clearly trying his hardest to escape the Complex with a strong sense of direction, toting a shotgun (until he was disarmed along the way but still fought and broke free unharmed) then running like crazy to a freight elevator that leads to the surface in reality-proper.
- Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome: Damage Control reveals that Peter supposedly died shortly after escaping the ASYNC facility due to blunt force trauma.
- Time Travel: In Informational Video, he gets glitched away from his group upon straying too far from them. He wanders around the Backrooms and eventually stumbles upon an unfamiliar ASYNC site that sounds an alarm on him, much to his panic and confusion. "Presentation" reveals he was sent three months into the future.
- Tragic Villain: To the point he can hardly be considered a 'villain' at all. He does shoot Mark, but his horrendous treatment at the hands of ASYNC and/or general Sanity Slippage from his mind-bending experience in the Backrooms and discovering he's considered to be dead by his family makes this somewhat understandable.
- Uncertain Doom: In "Damage Control", a supervisor claims that he died cracking his head on a large rock while escaping from security personnel, but we never see his body as proof. It might be another Gas Leak Cover Up, for all we know. A syringe is displayed during the video but no revelation of the contents is made. We also see a man standing still around a moving crowd, and multiple freeze frames of someone on surveillance cameras outdoors but their identities are left a mystery.
- Underestimating Badassery: It's unlikely that whoever left Peter for dead expected him to be able to ambush someone with the alarming speed of a special forces soldier in Reunion. Being obscured in shadow leaves questions of how he achieved his agility as we don't see his health visually and he didn't seem even slightly fatigued from malnutrition.
- Yank the Dog's Chain: Against all odds, he managed to find his way back to ASYNC's Threshold fairly quickly... Only to discover that three months have passed outside, and his 'death' has been covered up by ASYNC as a car crash. What happens next is unclear, but regardless of whether ASYNC tried to dispose of him in the Backrooms due to being an inconvenient loose end, or because his Sanity Slippage caused him to believe the ASYNC facility was just another part of the Backrooms, he takes a gun from Mark and manages to escape the facility... Only to die after falling and smashing his head open on a rock. Possibly.
- Walking Spoiler: Basically impossible to discuss without mentioning either the time travel reveal or ASYNC's (potential) cover-up. His full name is also only revealed in _recording014, the bonus video in Reunion's description.
- Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: By the time Marvin, Mark and Randall encounter him in Reunion he's deranged and willing to kill, but clearly also a man at the end of his tether who's been driven insane both by his isolation in the Backrooms and the trauma of being mourned by everyone he ever knew or loved and left for dead by his employer.
Missing Persons
Missing Persons in General
One of many examples.
People all over the world have no-clipped into the Backrooms, resulting in an absolutely huge spike in missing persons cases.- Missing Child: A 2-year-old is among the missing persons cases. One can only hope that the child made it out alive somehow...
- Uncertain Doom: Each and every last one of them.
Autopsy Subject
"John Doe"
Mr. Beck, may I ask where this subject came from?
"The decomposition process appears to have been... stunted... somehow. It's like... it's like portions of the body stopped decaying and were sustained."
A mysterious and seemingly-deceased individual found by the Hazmats.— ASYNC Mortician
- Ambiguous Situation: It's uncertain whether the human found in Missing Person is dead, asleep, on the verge of transforming into something else, being eaten away at by a corrosive fungal substance, etc. Autopsy Report clarifies that he's dead and is infected with a mutant strain of bacteria, but this raises more questions, such as... will he return as a Bacteria?
- It's also unclear as to exactly how he died, although the forensics expert believes it to be related to malnutrition.
- Body Horror: The decay he went through was only partial, not to mention extremely... off.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: We don't know the exact circumstances behind his death but judging by the state his corpse is in, it was definitely not pretty. The mortician in Autopsy Report says that his cause of death is most likely malnutrition.
- Dies Wide Open: Or at least, one visible eye is wide open and staring directly at the camera during the Autopsy Report. Brrrr.
- The Virus: Very likely to have been infected with this, meaning he may have met an unfriendly encounter with a Bacteria or two.
Entities
Bacteria
Bacteria
"HEY! HELP US! CAN ANYBODY HEAR US?"
Strange wire-like creatures that are encountered in the Backrooms.- All There in the Manual: Although they aren't named in the series, Kane Pixels' Ko-Fi lists them as "Bacteria."
- Ambiguously Evil: It's unclear whether or not they're actually malicious or if they just have a hard time communicating with visitors. The one barreling down the hallways in Pitfalls seemingly tricked Marv into getting closer to it through Voice Changeling tactics, but even then, it is unclear as to why it did so.
- Ambiguous Situation: A few.
- It's hard to tell if there are multiple Bacterias or if it's simply one entity traversing incredibly fast, however the one at the end of Found Footage does appear to have a different shape and make very different noises than the one that was chasing the camera operator ("howling" at a much softer volume rather than shrieking), and the one in Pitfalls also seems to have an original appearance.
- In the Informational Video, a camera operator inspects a wall from which human voices may be heard conversing behind it. More hints at the Bacterias' Voice Changeling powers, or something entirely different from them? If it is them, were they deliberately luring the operator so that he would be glitched away from his team where the creatures could successfully prey upon him? Note that they never show up in person in this video...
- Are they the ones that are the carriers of the mutant bacteria strain? Or is it just a coincidence?
- Bizarre Alien Limbs: Insanely long arms that are clearly far stronger than they appear to be.
- Botanical Abomination: While they're mutated by bacteria and not actual plants, their appearance is somewhat similar to a knot of vines, and the woman in Found Footage #2 mistakes one for some kind of plant.
- The Cameo: A Bacteria is briefly heard during a section in Motion Detected, emitting its horrifying roars.
- Composite Character: They have voice mimicry abilities of Skin-Stealers, and can chase people relentlessly too, but they also appear to be a type of disease, similar to the Hydrolitis Plague. They also have a similar appearance to Dullers.
- Eldritch Abomination: As befitting a denizen of the Backrooms, it's near impossible to tell exactly what this thing is.
- Evil Sounds Deep: Ambiguously Evil. We still don't know what their intentions are, but the one that mimics a human voice in Pitfalls eventually deepens its tone as though it's tired of playing pretend before changing in pitch to a demonic wailing banshee screech and hurling itself towards Marv.
- Hell Is That Noise: The deafening roars they emit when chasing someone, their loud footfalls despite having stick legs, as well as the eerie howling they make when awakening or searching for their target at a slower pace.
- He Was Right There All Along: In Found Footage #2, the girl holding the camera enters a room filled with black vines all over the places. At first, it seems like she's alone... then some of the vines start to twist and move around.
- Humanoid Abomination: They are scarily tall and thin wire-like humanoids that can clip through solid objects, act as a Voice Changeling possibly to lure prey, infect humans with a strain of the same bacteria that they're made of, stomp like a dinosaur despite having stick legs, and screech demonically as if distorting and mocking the screams of their victims.
- It Can Think: They are experts at hiding just out of sight of camera operators, can be deathly silent one moment and deafeningly loud the next, can sneak up on someone without any noise, no-clip through walls in order to easily catch up to whomever they're pursuing, and mimic human voices to draw people towards them before charging.
- Jump Scare: At the end of Found Footage when it appears from behind the operator and runs up to him, grabbing and yanking him away from the slide.
- Lean and Mean: Tall, inhumanly thin and seemingly able to contort its limbs.
- Monstrous Germs: Humanoid horrors that have frighteningly eldritch capabilities and the power to infect humans with the same sort of bacteria that they are made of.
- Nothing Is Scarier: So little information has been gleaned about these specimens, up to and including why they mimic human voices and barrel violently down the hallways towards every person they encounter. There are videos where they are not seen but possibly heard if the loud banging noises and disembodied human voices are any indication. Even when they are seen, their rough humanoid shape leaves much to the imagination due to a resemblance to stick figures.
- Stalker without a Crush: They stalk their potential victims before... doing something to them.
- Stealthy Teleportation: Apparently they can teleport and no-clip through the walls doing the T-pose as seen during the chase in the room full of doorways.
- Suddenly Shouting: Or rather, from dead silent to suddenly screeching like a demonic elephant or even the distorted screams of potential past victims.
- Tortured Monster: Heavily implied, as the Bacteria that chases the first camera operator can be heard shouting "Please don't! Don't go!" The Bacteria chasing the Camera Woman in "Found Footage #2" is possibly speaking in agony, crying out with a labored variant of "Help me!" at one point.
- The Virus:
- Heavily implied going by what was happening to the deceased young man's body in Autopsy Report.
- Found Footage #2 all but confirms that humans who die in the Backrooms turn into these entities.
- Voice Changeling: Pitfalls shows that it's able to mimic voices it hears. In this case, it mimics the original filmmaker's cries of "Hello?" and "Can anybody hear me?"
- Was Once a Man: It's heavily implied in Found Footage #2 that they are former humans who have transformed after they died in the Backrooms, as shown by the person who was no-clipped in their car.
- Xenomorph Xerox: They have a vague connection with this concept, as they can have a nesting spot where they grow, are very difficult to outrun without being an Olympic sprinter or having sufficiently obstacles to intervene, and require host organisms to develop from. They also have a what may be considered a Geiger-like vagueness to their form.
Unknown Entity
???
- Ambiguously Evil: Due to the fact it's only seen at the end of Motion Detected, it's unknown if it's malicious or not, due to the fact that it's never seen attacking anyone.
- Combat Tentacles: It sports these.
- Evil Is Bigger: Ambiguously Evil. It appears to be large, possibly as tall as the Bacteria entity.
- Eldritch Abomination: We don't know exactly what this thing is, but it's certainly not human.
- Hell Is That Noise: Largely averted, actually. The entity doesn't make any noise when it's on screen, and the loud shrieking/roaring actually sounds like it's coming from a Bacteria, not this entity.
- One-Shot Character: Has only appeared in Motion Detected so far, and in the closing seconds of the video while barely visible at that.
- Nothing Is Scarier: We don't really get a good look at it, all we see are its tentacles. Of course, this leaves a bunch of questions.
Other
The Voice
"Fleeting shells sinking ever slowly... Folding downwards, into themselves. Forever tearing along the seams of the sky... Until nothing remains except the eternal ghost... And you ask yourself... Could there ever be anything greater than this?"
The unseen narrator from I Remember.- Cryptic Conversation: Good luck attempting to understand any of his bizarre monologue.
- Rule of Symbolism: His dialogue about the manor and how it was taken by the sea mirrors ASYNC creating a project in the Backrooms, and its later abandonment because of the Entities.
