## Plot

On an unknown date, someone begins viewing an old video.

On July 4th, 1991, Kane Pints is the cameraman for an amateur film. After shooting a scene, the director tells Kane to move back for a wide shot. When moving backwards, Kane phases through the ground and falls into the Backrooms.

Confused and frightened, Kane walks around the maze of yellow walls while he continues to film. While walking down a long and dark corridor, he hears something behind him and looks back. A creature is following him and quickly hides behind a corner, but Kane thinks nothing of it. Kane continues to walk through the halls, eventually passing through a chute in a wall (accessible via a ladder), but the area it leads to isn’t different. The creature pokes out from another corner at him, but he doesn't notice.

Kane eventually sees arrows painted on the walls and follows them, leading him to a drawing of a face on a wall. Among other scribbles (such as "God closed His eyes"), the words "DONT MoVE StAY Still" are written underneath it. Surprised, Kane takes a closer look through his camera. Suddenly, he hears a loud distorted scream and turns around. The entity reveals itself at the end of the hall and starts chasing him. Kane runs for his life and tries to outmaneuver it, the entity screaming loudly and horribly behind him the entire way. After almost getting caught in a room full of rows of pillars, Kane eventually narrowly escapes by jumping down a pit, causing the video to glitch out.

When the video resumes at the bottom underneath the hole, an extremely shocked and frightened Kane is in what looks like an ordinary apartment with a large staircase. Kane goes up the stairs, which lead to what looks like an empty art gallery. Kane keeps walking, discovering what looks like an indoor courtyard with several “apartments” surrounding it, and a dumpster with graffiti and a rope laying next to it. After walking down the entire hallway, he encounters what appears to be a bottomless chasm blocking his way, with an infinite number of tunnels on the other side. He begins to question his sanity.

Kane goes back and passes several filing cabinets and finds a door which is marked as a fire exit. After passing through it, he climbs a staircase leading to another door, but the other door only leads back to the same yellow-wallpapered area he started in. He enters, and while going through another hallway, a chair is thrown extremely fast from around a corner. Kane quickly runs away as quietly as possible, with faint howls and screams from the monster echoing. He hides inside a dark room and observes the entity, which he appears to have lost, through the opening he came through. He goes in deeper and encounters a steep pit. As he prepares to jump, he hears a faint but deep "Hoo" sound. When he turns around, the monster is right next to him. It grabs him, presumably killing him.

As the monster grabs him, Kane drops the camera, which falls down the pit, hitting the walls and glitching out. The footage resumes as it falls from the sky, landing on someone's lawn. The date is September 23, 1996.
