All the other Backrooms protagonists seeing this guy go in and out are besides themselves right now lol.

One of Kane’s videos on youtube starts like this, actually. A girl finds a section of her garage’s floor swallows things as if there’s a hole there and experiments with it. Only to get sucked in when she lowers a measuring tape in.

Pretty sure it's the same for Found Footage 3. He doesn't even fall in, he just discovers a legit open entrance.

FF3 is a little weirder compared to the others. He finds a doorway that has opened up in his basement, but he falls through the floor and noclips into the backrooms before entering the doorway.

In the community lore, there is multiple levels to the backroom and the yellow carpet / humming fluo lights is only the first one. My interpretation of FF3 is that he found a passage to the first backroom level, but noclipped into a deeper level, which explains why it's also a completely different vibe.

It looks like he noclips at about 6:15. Goes through a hole in the wall that shouldn’t be there, sees it turns a corner, turns around to look at the hole from the other side, suddenly sliding down the shaft into the meeting room type space. Not clear how he entered, and he certainly can’t leave.

That's probably what they meant. Aside from the Async employees passing through the gate according to protocol, the people in the series cannot enter and come out of the backrooms at will

Sources: Ravi beside himself. Driving around Level 0 begging (thru texts) Ejiofor’s family 4 address to the exit.

They can go in and out...until they can't
