The ending is based on an actual coldcase. His name was Timothy King and he was a victim of the Oakland County Child Killer. His mom actually went on the news and begged for his safe return and said when she got him back she would give him his favorite, KFC chicken. When they found his body an autopsy revealed that his last meal had in fact been KFC. As gruesome and exaggerated as this game was, it doesn’t beat the horror of reality.

I like how the developers added the concept of the Backrooms being a personal hell, kind of like Silent Hill. It's a really nice take on the creepypasta.

I love how at points in the game, the main character shouts stuff like "Guys??! You think this is funny?!!" Like, damn I hate it when my friends prank me by setting up these eloborate and endless halls filled with mutated creatures. Not cool dudes lmfao

Fun fact: the “s” type noise is one of the loudest noises in a whisper. Replacing it with a “th” sound helps, even if it makes you sound funny.

It’s so cool that this game has “no jumpscare mode” for people that love being scared but are too jumpscare sensitive to go into a horror game completely blind

I'm just imagining whatever is in the backrooms listening to Jack like "Damn, this dude just keeps on talking. No threat of us being able to hear him has any affect on him! He just keeps doing the funny ha-ha's!"

Just realized the random jumpscares are actually objects teleporting into the backrooms. They're actually part of the lore

Writing on the wall: "Don't make a sound, it can hear you." Meanwhile, Sean: "I am fluent in over six million forms of testicular injury."

"Don't make a sound, it can hear you." Jack: "And I took that personally."

Jack constantly being loud has to be the most stressful thing while watching this tense type of game D:

The game: *Don’t make a sound. It can hear you.* Jack: _Proceeds to yell about enlarged testicles._

I like how the main character keeps calling out to his friends as if they're pranking him. Like they sent him to the backrooms as just a little goof.

A game that detects your microphone and a KZfaqr is a very bad combination lol

game: basically shut up Sean: *yells the entire time*

Jack: says that the monster is blind and how his head got ripped off. Also Jack: I can’t turn on my flashlight it will attract the monster.

For me the fact that it is based so closely on the real case (as Sean knows by now but clearly didn't at the time of the recording) is such a saddening low blow. I get it that such stories often draw inspiration from real life stories, but one thing is inspiration, the other is exact retelling. I sincerely hope it was done in order to raise awareness, and not just as an excuse for some cheap scares. Rest in peace, Timmy. You didn't deserve any of this.

The game: Don't make a sound, it can hear you. Sean: *proceeds to laugh about the dong he drew on the wall*

The creature: *is blind but has good hearing* Sean: I can’t use the flashlight, it’ll attract him! Also Sean: *talks constantly making noise*

Jack: Gets extremely terrified of the horror in the game. Also Jack: “That’s going to keep me quiet for the rest of the video.”

That story at the end has me both repulsed and depressed. Coupled with the fact this is based on a true cold case story... it damn near reduced me to tears. I think the fact that we're playing as the murderer makes me even more sick and depressed. [Edit: It still really rubs me the wrong way that this is based on a true story but not in the way one would think... The devs really should've put some disclaimer for this bc it's very tasteless at best and utterly insensitive at worst... I could only imagine what the actual victims of the case would feel...] A small silver lining tho, Jack's reactions throughout was genuinely hilarious as always. That brightens the mood even just a weeee bit. Keep being great my dude.

26:04 Jack: This is gonna go well, it's fine aproxomately three seconds later Jack: IT DID NOT GO WELLLL

Jack's inability to stop talking when the monster is right next to him is the scariest part about watching this game

As a French person, we need to see Jaques Septique more often.

So I was in a coma for about a month when I was younger and experienced something very similar to the Backrooms concept, only I was in the hospital, so the idea that it was his purgatory makes it many times more terrifying from my perspective. That actually can and does happen.

“Stepping on shards of glass will make noise. Avoid them to avoid detection” Jack: *tries to avoid them* The in-game character immediately: HELLO?!?

26:50 Seán's frustration is so amusing! Like, that's GENUINE annoyance in his whisper!

Jack: Sees a creepy shadow guy Also Jack: *Turns into French man* 🥖

I like how nearly twenty minutes into being lost in this dark, unending building where weird shit's happening and evidence of the murder of a child is present, this guy still stops and says "Guuuuys! You think this is funny!?" like his friends are gonna pop out of the monster mannequin's asshole and say "Alright, he's not falling for it, let's all go home".

I have a feeling that the seemingly random jumpscares were meant to make the player scream. Thus making the monster find them more easily. Clever

52:08 "ok back to silent mode" instantly puts the mic in red

The guy who made this game must have been laughing his ass off thinking of all the loud youtubers trying to play his game

Ah yes, Jacksepticeye giving us our monthly reminder that he’s not afraid to kick a child.🧍🏻🏃🏻‍♂️

Jack: "I am not afraid to kick a child" Also Jack: "WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE??"

The game stating it can hear but not see you, Jack complaining he can't see shit, and then saying with his whole chest, "Wtf am I gonna do with a battery? I don't use a light, it will attract him!" as the sound bar peaks red... Just... chef's kiss humor right there.

19:15 Jack:*sees creepy sketch of a shadow demon* *"The Irish Jacksepticeye was not Irish that day"*

More horror games need this mechanic of detecting your mic.

Today's lesson: Even the Backrooms cannot shut an Irish man up.

Jack: *Reads a message stating the thing can hear him, but has no eyes.* Also Jack: I can't see anything, and I can't use the flashlight 'cause it'll attract him. Me: *Facepalming*

“I didn’t know it was gonna be one of these games. I didn’t know I’d have to be quiet!” Literally one of the first things you said upon starting the game: “Oh it picks up my voice so I’m going to need to be quiet”

"Jesus is not gonna save you now tiny Irish man" I CAN DIE NOW BECAUSE THIS LINE EXISTS.

The censoring of Jack's "artwork" just as it finished was a great bit

Game: "Don't make a sound, it can hear you" Jack: Immediately starts talking about enlarged testicles

It sounds WAY more real than any other horror game I've played/watched and it gets under my skin. Especially with the subject matter... It's really unnerving.

This is true psychological horror man. Imagine just being stuck in a looping Hell where you possibly can’t die and just get chased again orrrr you’re actually in The Backrooms and it’s still a loop. As an innocent person I mean, fu- the protagonist

Timmy: has no eyes, relies on hearing Jack: “I can’t use my light cause it will attract him but I’ll continue to talk cause he can’t hear me”

Jack: "Why are bad things happening to good people? I've done nice things." Also Jack: *Drew a large nut on the wall with a black spray paint gun*

The most terrifying part about this video: I have never heard Sean so damn quiet before.

Imagine being a monster hunting down a human that has entered your house, then just hearing a muffled Jack laughing like a Frenchman.

Jack: “I was 8 years old in 1998 so not a whole lot happened” Jack in 1998: trying to romantically impress a girl by tackling her then breaking her leg😂

The thing that scares me about the back rooms is that it breaks the rule “the cameraman never dies” and as a filmmaker I am no longer safe

I love how even the game knows it is Jack because of how loud he is. At 31:14 it says “JACKIE”

Jack:this game picks up my voice Also jack:talks as long as possible

Sean: finds out the game detects his voice Also Sean: immediately proceeds to talk as loud as he can and narrate what he’s reading Me: PLEASE STOP MY NERVES

Backrooms: unsettling by itself surviving a monster in the backrooms: terrifying jack in the backrooms having to be quiet: extremely horrifying

Jack: "Cheap ass jumpscares, too cheap" Also Jack, just moments later after a jumpscare: almost flies out of his chair Seems like something I'd do 💀

29:38 "So many breakable things" Like the sound barrier when you get jump scared

"Jesus can't save you now tiny Irish man" is such a hard-core threat in a different context but here I'm laughing my ass off

Dashie: I disabled the microphone setting because I wanna be able to talk to you guys! Jack: I’ll show you how it’s done, amateur.

Those jumpscares are like, the most startling ones I've ever seen. My heart leapt up my throat, jfc

sean-" iv been quiet all this time for nothing" also sean -has not been quiet for a second the whole game

I love that these backrooms games are gaining traction because the concept of endlessness in that place is positively terrifying

regardless, a game dev putting a no jumpscare mode into their game makes it way more accessible and is something that should be done more often.

game: explains what to do and how to do it jack: still haves no idea what to do

45:50 Sean just gives up and keeps saying I got me louder and louder 🤣

"no jumpscare mode? do i look like a little baby to you..." few seconds later: "AHHH GOD a baby!!"

Something that makes this actually terrifying, is that hell is described as a place where you relive your worst sin over and over. The backrooms, and the idea that the person who killed that kid is the one going through it - could be inspired/based on what hell is supposed to be. Having to find all of the kids' things, likely experiencing the same fear the kid did while being constantly reminded of such a sin - would be an appropriate hell. Not saying of course that this is precisely what it's supposed to be, but it's interesting to imagine.

9:43 Anyone else see the mannequin shadow walk by behind him? Idk if it was the light or not but damn still kinda freaky...

jack not useing the flashlight because it will attract the monster forgetting that the monster is blind

The game: Don't make a sound, he can hear you. Sean: THAT SIGN CANT STOP ME CAUSE I CAN'T READ.

I love that Jack 100% missed the tip about the creature being blind (It can hear you, but no eyes) which means that if he was quiet for parts he could just keep sneaking around while its closer, never change Jack, never change =)

ngl at 18:40 he went through the 7 stages of jacksepticeye

this is one of those times where jack is genuinely scared of the game and it’s really scary to see lol

Imagine you’re wandering along in the Backrooms and hear a roar through the walls. It unnerves you, but following the sound is a heavily-accented voice screaming back. The maze grows silent once again, as though yelled into submission

The Game: "Running also makes noise." The Mic: _laughs in peaking bars_

45:30 "this game is too much I wanna go home"😭😭😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😭😭😭😭

One of the best videos, I've not laughed so hard in awhile. The picture taken by your phone had me in stitches, and the expressions were priceless. 101/10 worth every re-watch xD

Here’s the thing, before he “escapes” the hand grabs his face or something. I think it basically broke his neck just as he got out of the back rooms. So everything did happen, just escape ended in his death

Jack having to contain his rage to 4 little grey bars was hilarious . I've never heard anyone whisper yell before. But there is simply no other term for the way he spoke that moment when he realised that the microphone monitoring was only just enabled.

I felt all tense watching this whole thing! The people behind this game did really well on keeping me on edge! I love how realistic the sounds are, and the mic feature in the game!

The game: “be quiet, the monster can hear you” Jack: You’re out of luck bud, I’m Irish

While this is also a horrifying game, Jacks reactions are so fucking funny I cant stop laughing

Even when whispering and being away from the mic, he still manages to get into the red zone

If the backrooms was the main characters purgatory, and there was evidence of people there before, was it main character over and over or did his friends go into the purgatory "before" him

If Jack's the one playing this game, the monster should be the one getting jumpscared. Just imagine being lost in this labyrinth and all of a sudden, you hear: *TOP O' DA MORNING TO YA LADDIES!*

I love how the mannequins are just so pointlessly anatomically detailed. They made to model clothing, they don't need nipples let alone dimples of venus

I actually like the idea of those who are haunted by their demons or who have committed heinous acts against others being taken out by a divine force and dropped into the back rooms to aimlessly wander it’s halls while being pursued by monsters comprised of your past sins, tormenting you for eternity with no escape.

This was the first jack video ive watched in years. im glad to see jack hasnt changed much. his editing is more professional, but its not in your face annoying, i enjoyed it.

One of the scariest parts of this game is that you cant openly joke about it while playing. Whenever I play horror games I absolutely NEED to be loud so I can try to break the atmosphere the game puts me in, but this game forces you to feel it.

Me *silently begging Jack to be quiet and live* Also me: "YES, MORE COMEDIC NOISES OF DEATH!!!"

I Love Jack's intros for scary games, it really sets the creepy mood tbh

10:15 a lovely looking manikin

*"This Is Too Much."* I've never known Jack to be so quiet during a video, and to tell you the truth, it kind of scares me! 😨

Its interesting because a lot of people who end up in the backrooms fall, go through a void, and end up in this weird appartment, its perfectly believable to think you were just knocked out and kidnapped until you started seeing the unnatural parts

32:51 what is being said here is: "Sometimes the things you see in the shadows, are more than just shadows"

30:48 mannequins: *lose their heads* Sean: "you've turned around? and there's more of you!"

Sean continually maxing out the mic in the game is stressing me out 😃

3:38 the way the backrooms works is pretty much "no-clipping" there isnt a portal, just dumb unluck that gets you lost in the backrooms in certain places. However, the backrooms are more strict with letting people out

Jack saying “No no no” about 20 minutes in with the drawings that say “I see u” sounded like Palpatine from Revenge of the Sith

Owaooo...I fully lost it when you started whispering angrily, then started mimicking the baby sound. Really like it a lot..
