SMii7Y Story of October 16, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

We tried NEW Backrooms games...

SMii7Y picked two different ways to make hanging out with friends unsettling: unfamiliar corridors and a fishing trip with horror-game credentials. His two uploads kept the week firmly in cooperative scares, with a different group along for each outing.

"We tried NEW Backrooms games..." is the week's most-watched new release, reaching about 3.2 million views. Scratty and daukey join him for Backrooms: Code Yellow and Backrooms: Collision Not Found, a double helping of the internet horror setting built around strangely empty, familiar-looking spaces.

The comments give the collaboration its own subplot. Viewers keep asking for more Scratty appearances and pointing to his similar sense of humor. One Japanese viewer also thanks SMii7Y for adding subtitles, describing the videos as a way to practice English while being entertained. That is a rather different use for a horror-game session.

"Our Worst Fishing Trip So Far..." brings Yumi and soup into Gone Fishing. It had already approached a million views within nine hours and is currently drawing the most views per day of any upload on the channel. Just outside this week's releases, "Hunting Down My Friends as a Hidden Entity" also remains active, with imSovi credited in its return to The Hidden-style gameplay.

Across the channel, weekly views topped 18 million, the largest total among its nearby variety-gaming peers. MoreSidemen is having a busier-than-usual day, while Daz Games and LaurenZside are quieter. SMii7Y's own daily viewing is also well below its usual pace, though the seven-day subscriber total rose. The fresh fishing upload supplies the week's newest burst of activity.

Scratty being one of my favourite YouTubers alongside Smii7y, this new era of them collabing has been so good!

I hope Scratty's in more of your videos. Been loving watching him and Daukey in VR.
