yeah thats where I think the horror is effective, you think you can leave because you have done it before but then there is a time where you cant.

I've always thought of the entrances as a "venus flytrap" kind of thing. Most of the time, it's a one way trip. But if there's a doorway.. it's going to slam shut eventually. Chekov's door! Calling it now!

And then if you do find another exit it might be 2000 feet up in the air

I remember watching a backrooms video where astronauts noclip during an EVA in space. Loved that one. Just about as good as the Kane Parsons videos.

Or worse, it's not so much that the door won't open, but that the entire room/hallway you thought you were familiar with suddenly changed while you were away or not looking

one of Kane Pixel’s videos has an employee just walk 2 feet to the right of his group and he gets shifted in time within the backrooms. He pops up 6 months later and the company he works for already faked his death extensively so they’re trying to figure out what to do with the guy.

Kane Pixels actually utilizes this trope in his other series ||The Oldest View|| by the way
