Description

Noclipping is the action of travelling quickly enough to pass through a wall or any solid object. This is considered the main method of entering and exiting many of the levels in the Backrooms. While noclipping is a fairly supernatural process, it draws similarities with Quantum Tunneling. A human does not have enough energy to penetrate the barrier between the Frontrooms or the Backrooms. However, under rare circumstances, in places where the barrier is thin enough, with the human possessing enough energy through falling or other means, it may "borrow" the energy of a Noclip Channel, passing through the barrier without breaking it.

Noclip channels are mysterious forces that can be described similarly to wind currents. They have an impossible, potentially infinite amount of energy, and lead between locations. They pull in a single direction, in a vacuum, and speeds that quickly grow exponentially. Their force extends past the barrier a small amount, meaning that a human with enough energy going into a Noclip channel will be picked up by it and gain enough energy to have the possibility of quantum tunneling. This process usually takes around four seconds. They can be anywhere, functioning like the roads of the Backrooms. Notably, there is only a single confirmed Noclip channel leading into the Frontrooms but millions leading out. Despite their convenience, they are not entirely safe.

First of all, not all Noclip channels end in other levels. Some end in the middle of the Void, having a small chance of stranding the noclipping wanderer there. Noclipping, if not successful, can lead to bodily harm from the high velocities it requires. Worse, if noclipping is only partially successful, it can lead to absorption where a wanderer may end up inside of a wall, instantly dying. Finally, some more advanced entities are capable of opening up these channels and using them as traps.

Noclipping is most probable in areas where the barriers are thin, such as abandoned office buildings, maintenance tunnels, or forests at night. While running into an unusual looking door in an abandoned office building with a mono-yellow theme has a very large chance of noclipping, falling over inside of a familiar and warm apartment building has a near-zero chance. Anything unusual or disconcerting is likely where the barriers are thinning.

How Do I Noclip?

To noclip, one needs to be travelling quickly enough to pass through any solid object like a wall without breaking it. If this is performed successfully, one will have noclipped. However, as mentioned previously, it is quite easy to incorrectly perform this, causing injury, death, or eternal torment.

Noclipping is difficult to predict with any level of certainty, and all of it is based off of luck. zh-hk:「穿牆」
