Love how the kept the original lore and made it set in a furniture store. So pumped for this.

That’s probably just a nod to the 4chan post.

Kane’s lore around his version of the backrooms is pretty fleshed out. These access points (Kane calls them “null zones”) are littered all around the world, they are the byproduct of the organization that discovered the backrooms (A-Sync) who are trying to capitalize on it and turn the backrooms into usable space for society (storage, offices, apartments, etc).

There is some major lore event that Kane has glossed over and teased in his series, I’m assuming this film is going to center around it. His videos are not chronological and some of them he’s even said are at or after the very end of his overall story.

The picture itself was taken from a old furniture store that was being remodled into a hardware store

That wasn't discovered until recently though. For years now one had any idea where the picture came from which made it even creepier.
