 Hey everyone, and welcome back to a brand new video here on the Broogly Channel. Yes, you actually read the title, right? I'm doing a Backrooms Iceberg for the next couple of uploads, because Broogly Summer Spectacular is starting away from today, so I figured I'd upload this Iceberg right before it, so I could get everybody in the mood for some more Backrooms content, right? If you're new here, I'm Broogly, nice to meet you. I'm a Backrooms YouTuber, and that's all you need to know. So this will be a three or four-part Iceberg, probably four, since I don't like to make my videos too long. And in this video, I'm going to be going over the first two tiers of the Iceberg. This specific one is the newest Iceberg I could find over on Reddit, so there shouldn't be any other videos on it that I'm aware of, but yeah. Sit back, chillax, grab some cookie dough bites, some popcorn, some candy, and get ready for the first two tiers of the Backrooms Iceberg. Let's get into it, shall we? So this is the Iceberg that I'm going to be going over. If you want to check it out yourself, I'm going to leave a link in the description, and I think it's got the perfect balance of known stuff and unknown stuff, and it's the perfect one that I found. Now the first several entries are pretty basic, so I'm not going to go in-depth, like a crazy person would, but I am going to start with the first entry, which is Level Zero. Backrooms Level Zero is easily the most famous Backrooms level on all the wikis and in general. You've probably seen the picture of it, if you haven't. I'd like to know what rock you've been living under so I can test it out myself, and you probably at least have some idea of what it is. But it is the first Backrooms level and it was posted on 4chan many years ago. It's really the picture that kick-started the entire Backrooms lore, so I appreciate it for that. Pretty much if you don't know, it's an infinite hellscape of yellow walls, annoying lights that are buzzing, and soaking wet carpet. Now for a lot of these things on the Iceberg, I have made full videos about them, explaining them, and I'm going to leave a link to all of them that I go over in the description. But what I just said about Level Zero is pretty much the entirety of the level. You get the gist of it. Lights buzzing is next up and it's also a pretty basic one. It's about the fluorescent lights in Level Zero and actually some other levels of the Backrooms as well that have this really annoying buzz to them, man. I mean, it would drive me insane. To me it just adds this horror factor that it would just drive me insane. And just knowing that there's constant buzzing, it just makes you feel more alone in my opinion. But yeah, that's what light buzzing means. Before the video gets started, I want to thank the sponsor of today's video, Gemstone Legends. Gemstone Legends is an awesome fantasy puzzle RPG game where you match gems together in order to upgrade and enhance your team of heroes in order to defeat enemies and stop the cataclysm. What's great about Gemstone Legends is that it isn't just your typical matching game. You can level up your team of heroes in order to collect artifacts and upgrade statistics and in order to form the strongest team possible. And to me, upgrading your stats and finding new artifacts really enriches the gameplay experience and makes the game extremely addictive to play. Also, the game has dragons. But don't just take my word for it. Gemstone Legends has a 4.6 star rating on the Android Play Store and almost a perfect 5 star rating on the App Store. Speaking of playing the game, you can find me in-game under the name Broogly if you want to get destroyed, that is. So with all that said, you can download Gemstone Legends using the first link in the description below or you can scan the nifty QR code right here in the video. And by doing that, new players will automatically get a super bonus pack and the pack contains a really cool hero named Moralia. And you'll get this pack once you open the game and complete the tutorial. So download the game with my link below or scan the QR code and by doing so you'll have an awesome game to play and you'll be supporting the Broogly channel. It's a win-win. What can I say? Thank you to Gemstone Legends for sponsoring this video. And let's get back to it, shall we? 4chan is the next entry and it's referring to the original Backroom's picture and post which was posted on 4chan back in 2018. This is the earliest screenshot of the entry I could find. There might have been one before, but this is the earliest one I could find. It was originally just posted as a creepy liminal space picture that doesn't feel quite right is the title. And it just feels off, but we've now seen what it has grown into. And I'm super happy it did. The next entry is No Clipping which is the process of glitching through an object in real life. Now you've actually probably done this before in video games where you can see through a map by glitching into the side of a wall to the floor and you can kind of just see through the rest of the map. But no clipping in this regard refers to the main way of traveling inside of the Backroom's lore to the different levels. If you want to get to a level that's after level zero you're going to have to no clip through a wall in level zero. And by doing that you'll be sent through a space-time wormhole to the next level. Now no clipping can do much more powerful things than this like you can just pass up 100 levels at once if you know what a no clip but yeah it's pretty much just glitching through something to get to a different place. Liminal spaces are spaces that are not meant to be stayed in for a long time. In fact it quite literally means transitional space but of course you probably knew that. There's probably been 800 people that have said that and this phenomenon of liminal spaces tends to make pictures of these places extremely creepy almost like you shouldn't be seeing it and this translates to many of the Backroom's levels because the majority of them are considered liminal spaces. Spaces that you feel are just wrong to look at like this picture for example. You know it just feels unnatural in a way, unnerving in a way. Of course you know it's all relative and you could be thinking to yourself right now how stupid is this guy this is just a normal picture but like I said it all depends on what angle you take it from but liminal spaces in and of themselves are a horror-ish genre but couple them with the idea of the Backrooms and being alone by yourself in an unknown universe and you've got a pretty scary concept. The Backroom's Causes Insanity is the next entry and I think it's literally just talking about the fact that Backrooms causes people to go insane while they're stuck there which is understandable because you're going to be stuck alone in a place that you've never been to with no food, water and weird noises coming from everywhere I think I'd go insane too. I'm pretty sure the name of this entry explains it. The Backroom's Causes Insanity because it does. The last part of tier one is the Backroom's Subreddits which of course is talking about the Reddit page for the Backrooms there's lots of unofficial ones but this one is talking about the biggest one it's got over 185,000 members on it and there's a lot of neat stuff that goes up over there but it's mainly just funny memes and I'm going to be honest with you they're pretty funny, not going to lie but yeah if you want to explore some more of the fan-submitted kind of stuff go check out the Backroom subreddit it's an interesting read to say the least now it's tier two time starting with the first nine levels it's talking about the first nine levels in the Backroom's lore technically it's eight levels since level zero also counts as a level but level zero, the tutorial zone level one, the habitable zone level two, pipe dreams level three, electrical station level four, abandoned office level five, terror hotel level six, lights out level seven, thalassophobia and level eight, the cave system now some people only count these first nine or so as the actual real Backroom's levels the real canon but as I've said before there isn't a concrete canon which makes it interesting you know you get everybody's opinion I've made individual videos explaining these first nine levels in depth but if you're lazy like I am and you don't want to go find them on the channel I'm just going to speed run through explanations of them now level zero has yellow walls and buzzing lights and wet carpet and it's the first one you're typically going to know clip to from reality that is level one is a parking garage with no outside contact wet puddles and it has the first few outposts in the Backroom's level two is full of dangerous hallways with creatures running around all the time and loud noises coming from machinery level three is also a dangerous hallway level but this time there's prison barred off passages that you can't get to and there's also electrical monitoring rooms level four is a huge office building and it's the home of the first almond water source in the Backroom's which you'll figure out in a second is a huge part of it level five is a hotel with a real business running inside of it it's decorated with a old-era decoration style and it's actually scary because the beast of level five lurks around but yeah it's pretty much a hotel level six is a series of blacked out maze-like hallways with unknown dangers walking around quite literally that's it it's one of the shortest entries in the wiki dot level seven is a level about an ocean with carpet at the bottom there's a bunch of skeletons floating around the water and there's some pretty gnarly creatures that live there and level eight is a series of cave networks that are home to huge spiders and some old unknown ancient cave dwelling people yeah that's the speedrunning explanation of the first nine levels I've gone over all of them in much more depth than that if you want to check them out but these are just the basics Brugli's basics next on the iceberg is me Brugli Hi I make backroom's videos been doing it for seven months now I upload every other day and I run a second channel that you should totally check out it's called Tugli and I think you'd like it shameless plugging aside though I love doing backroom's videos I'm Brugli next on the iceberg is Mr. Ferrante who is another backroom's youtuber who started I think a year or so before I did he mainly focuses on the liminal archives website for his information whereas I focus on the backroom's wiki. and yeah the backroom's fandom is the next entry and I think it's talking about the fandom wiki actually I know it is which is another huge source of information for backroom stuff the fandom wiki I would say is more easily accessible and easier to get articles on than the other wikis and I myself have covered multiple levels from over there it's a pretty fun time to read through the levels because you never know what you're gonna get you know you could have a masterpiece of a written level and you could have a goofy level that kinda adds to the fun of it you know but it and the backroom's wiki dots are typically the two biggest backroom's info sources on the internet and the liminal archives is right behind them almond water is the next entry and it's the most widely available drink inside of the backroom's as with most of the stuff on this iceberg I've covered it in a video of its own but the condensed version is pretty simple it's a drink that helps people stay sane inside of the backroom's because the backroom's drains your sanity and the last thing you wanna be is a lunatic who's crazy running around the backroom's you gotta keep your sanity somehow and this drink will do it for ya it's typically available in weird ways and it's not available on every level but sometimes it can be coming out of pipes or it can be an entire lake full of almond water you never know and it's really a mystery throughout the backroom's of how it got there and it's pretty much the one thing that's constant throughout all the backroom's levels it's also a drink in real life never tried it myself since they don't sell it here in the states much but if you have tried it let me know what you think of it I'm interested KanePixels is up next and I'm sure everyone watching this video has seen his viral backroom's found footage videos he started uploading them back in January and they were an instant classic amongst many backroom's fans he gained over like 600k subscribers in two months and has gotten like 30 million views on his found footage videos and his work itself has spawned a bunch of other YouTubers to make their own found footage videos which I'll talk about in the next episode of the iceberg video because it's an entry in and of itself Kane's doing his own thing he's making his own canon it's working for him the backroom's WikiDot is next and it's the website that I get all my video ideas from well mostly it's got a more professional layout and it's considered the go-to website for some people for their backroom's lore now not all the people go here some go to the fandom or liminal archives but a good majority of people come here it was started a couple years ago and it has events that happen it has discord stuff it has you know a pretty good balance of community stuff and professionally written stuff it's got good info it's got goofiness it's the most well-rounded website in my opinion the last entry for today is entities and this is talking about the entities and creatures that have been written into the backroom's lore some people love the entities some people don't I like them sometimes just in specific quantities and it just depends on context you know the WikiDot and fandom websites have entire sections dedicated to entities with biographies and explanations and pictures and drawings of each one and they can range from robots to huge zombies to cats that can talk there's literally no limits which is a good and bad thing but I have an entire YouTube shorts series about the entities in the backroom so if you want to check that out there's like 30 of them up I'll leave the playlist below but I like jump-scaring people with entities sometimes so that was part one of the backroom's iceberg I hope you enjoyed it if you can't tell I do my icebergs a little bit differently than most I kind of give the topic a basic description with just enough info to where you kind of understand it without getting into the boring details I know not everyone likes that but I do so I hope you do too also a few people know this but the first videos on my channel were iceberg videos I did a little space iceberg I did a cryptids iceberg and that's what got me my first 500 subscribers thank you for watching to the end of the video and thank you to Jim Stone Legends for sponsoring this video make sure you check them out below with the QR code or the link in
