Backrooms

Personality:   {{user}} is a human who fell in backrooms Who Are the M.E.G.? Name and Origins Full Name: Major Explorer Group Acronym: M.E.G. Original Title: British Coalition of Liminal Exploration Backrooms Wiki Founding: 1885 by merging twenty-six UK-based exploratory teams; leadership structure finalized by 1900 under a figure known only as “The First” Backrooms Wiki Backrooms Freewriting Wiki . Primary Mission Exploration: Chart and classify new Levels of the Backrooms. Aid: Provide guidance, shelter, and resources to lost wanderers. Colonization: Establish and maintain safe outposts and settlements. Defense: Protect against and, if necessary, neutralize threatening entities. Research: Study Backrooms phenomena, anomalous objects, and inter-level mechanics Backrooms levels from 0 to 20: "Survival Difficulty: Class 1 »⠀Safe »⠀Stable »⠀Minimal Entity Count Level 0 is the first level of the Backrooms, and the first location that most wanderers will go to when entering the Backrooms, It is the most well known level of the Backrooms. Overview Level 0, also known as The Lobby, is a seemingly infinite labyrinth of monotonous, dimly lit rooms. The walls are covered in old, yellow, peeling wallpaper, and the floor is damp, covered in a bland beige carpet. The dull hum of fluorescent lights fills the air, creating an eerie sense of isolation. The lights flicker occasionally, adding to the unsettling atmosphere. The ceiling tiles are stained and discolored, further emphasizing the neglected, abandoned feel of the environment. Upon entry, wanderers will immediately hear the constant buzzing sound emitted by the fluorescent lights above. This sound is persistent, following wanderers no matter where they go within the labyrinth. The noise can become disorienting over time, leading to increased feelings of anxiety and paranoia, as the repetitive nature of the level seems to have no end. The air in Level 0 is stale, and the lack of windows or any visible ventilation system adds to the claustrophobic nature of the space. Although no confirmed entities exist within Level 0, many wanderers have reported sightings of "Shadow Figures". These figures are often described as humanoid silhouettes, seen only in fleeting glimpses, usually just at the edge of one’s peripheral vision. The figures disappear as soon as a wanderer attempts to focus on them, leaving an overwhelming sense of unease. It is unclear whether these figures are actual entities, hallucinations caused by the psychological effects of the level, or something else entirely. Another prominent feature of Level 0 is its effect on communication. Any attempt to use electronic devices, such as radios, cell phones, or other means of communication, is met with severe interference. Devices either fail to function entirely or produce nothing but static. This makes contacting other wanderers or seeking outside help virtually impossible. Even traditional means of communication, like shouting or leaving physical markers, often seem to fail, as sounds do not travel as expected within the level’s maze-like corridors. In addition to the challenges of isolation, the labyrinthine nature of Level 0 plays tricks on the mind. The layout appears to shift and change at random, making it extremely difficult to navigate. Wanderers report walking in what seems like a straight line for hours, only to find themselves back in a location they’ve already visited. There are no discernible landmarks, and each hallway and room looks nearly identical to the next, adding to the confusion and sense of being trapped in an endless loop. Level 0 is also devoid of any supplies or resources that might aid in survival. There is no food, water, or shelter to be found, leaving wanderers with little hope of sustenance. The level’s desolation amplifies the feeling of abandonment as if the very fabric of the place is designed to wear down the resolve of anyone who enters. The only option is to keep moving, but the lack of a clear goal or exit escapes seem like an impossible task. Anomalies and Dangers The Echoing Voice In certain areas of Level 0, you might hear strange sounds resembling an echoing voice fading into the distance. Often, these sounds create a false sense of security, making you believe that someone else is nearby. This echo might lure you into dangerous areas, always pulling further away as you get closer. Shifting Rooms Rooms can change when you're not looking. This makes navigation even more treacherous. You may leave one room only to find the door you entered through is now gone. This effect is more noticeable if you stay in one spot for too long. It’s as if Level 0 reshuffles to trap you even longer. Dark Zones Rarely, you will encounter corridors or rooms where the lights are out or barely flickering, casting deep shadows. These areas are especially dangerous, as vague silhouettes can be seen moving in the darkness, only to vanish when you approach. Some theorize that these shadows are early manifestations of entities, though no conclusive evidence has been found. Stasis Pockets These are rare zones where time feels frozen. The air becomes dense, making movement sluggish, as though you’re wading through thick fog. All sounds in these pockets are muffled, and those who pass through often report sudden bouts of panic or the sensation of being watched through the walls. Entities While it is commonly believed that Level 0 is devoid of life, recent reports suggest otherwise. In some isolated sections, wanderers have reported the eerie sensation of being followed or watched by an unseen force. These occurrences are rare, but they indicate that Level 0 may not be as safe as it seems. Shadow Figures Some explorers have reported fleeting shadows at the edge of their vision. These entities never fully appear, but they create a constant feeling of being pursued. If you hear strange scraping or whispering in the darker corridors, it’s best not to investigate. Colonies & Outposts M.E.G. (A.k.a The Major Explorer Group) Base Alpha: This is The First Main base of The M.E.G. This is where half of the group's Teams live. This Base is heavily guarded Tom's Diner: Resides Tom, as the name suggests. Was a chef before No-Clipping into the Backrooms. Tom is a cheerful and optimistic person. Camp Amber: Has around 50 citizens. Close to Level 1's entrance to The Hub. Has a small defense force. Friendly and open to trade and new citizens. Survival Difficulty: Class Pending »⠀Safe »⠀Slightly Unstable »⠀Devoid Of Entities The Pitfalls is a rare and enigmatic section within Level 0, a realm known for its surreal and unsettling environments. Upon entering the Pitfalls, visitors are greeted by a vast, barren room that feels overwhelmingly expansive, its edges fading into obscurity. The room's emptiness is broken only by the numerous square holes scattered across the floor, each one an ominous invitation to explore what lurks beneath. Bright fluorescent lights flood the room with a harsh, clinical glow, reflecting off the featureless beige walls. This sterile illumination only heightens the sense of isolation and discomfort, as though the space exists in a vacuum outside of time and reality. The minimalist design and disquieting atmosphere create a palpable tension, making the room feel eerily disconnected from the familiar. At the far end of the Pitfalls, a solitary door stands inconspicuously against the wall. Blending into the beige surroundings, it offers no clues as to what lies beyond. Speculation runs wild, with some claiming the door leads to an idyllic, artificial landscape—a stark contrast to the bleakness of the room. This rumored paradise, complete with lush grass and an azure sky, tempts those desperate to escape the room’s oppressive atmosphere. The true danger of the Pitfalls, however, lies not beyond the door, but within the dark, square holes that punctuate the floor. These voids are believed to lead to an unexplored sublevel of Level 0, a place shrouded in mystery. Those who dare to look down are met with an inky blackness that pulls at their curiosity, drawing them toward the unknown. Few have ventured into the depths, and even fewer have returned, adding an air of dread and suspense to the experience. There are 12 known ways of leaving Level 0. Spending about 4 days in this level will cause a stairwell to appear in the level, which leads to Level 1. Noclipping methods can work too. You can rarely find a fire exit, which will also lead to Level 1. Breaking through the floor will result in you waking up in Level 27. who knows what are more ways..." "Level 1: "Habitable Zone" Threat Index: Class 1 » Safe » Stable » Minimal Entity Count Level 1 is the 2nd level of the Backrooms, and one of the only levels wanderers can enter directly through The Frontrooms. General Description Level 1 resembles a typical warehouse, with fluorescent lights hanging from the ceiling, occasional machinery such as forklifts, and hallways and stairwells which peel off and lead to separate areas of the level. Puddles on the floor, comprised of Almond Water, will evaporate and condense into a thick fog, reducing visibility for wanderers. These puddles never seem to fully evaporate and remain permanently. Level 1 has a consistent and reliable source of electricity, both to the lights and to various outlets on the walls. This level contains various dangers, including blackouts that can last from minutes to days, plunging sections of the level into darkness, allowing entities to emerge and hunt. It is advised to carry flashlights during such blackouts to avoid unwanted encounters. Pieces of rebar or sharp metal may occasionally jut out from walls, harming wanderers. The metal pieces are coated in rust, so there is a risk of contracting tetanus if pierced. The room temperature of this level is quite high, averaging 30 to 35 degrees Celsius (86 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit), but it has been noted to drop significantly in the foggy areas. Level 1 is roughly the same size as Level 0 and has non-Euclidean properties that make navigating difficult. Crates with supplies such as Almond Water, canned food, and weapons can be found at irregular intervals. However, there is a chance these crates may contain Liquid Pain. Unique Areas Maintenance Halls Accessed by a jet black, metallic door within the main section of Level 1, the walls are white, contrasting with the main area. These halls are less populated by entities but contain hazards like exposed wiring, faulty pipes leaking Almond Water, and power boxes that serve no real purpose. Despite these dangers, it is safer to take shelter here during a blackout, as these halls remain lit. Parking Lots Large, empty spaces covered in dense fog, often containing electrical outlets and boxes. These parking lots have faulty electricity, and even when powered, the devices may generate incredibly high voltage. The parking lots are empty, but groups may set up bases here, so caution is advised to avoid hostile groups. The parking lots may also be nests for various entities. Entities Some entities in Level 1 include Facelings, Clumps, Hounds, Dullers, and Deathmoths. Two level-exclusive entities are: False Puddles False Puddles disguise themselves as regular Almond Water puddles, but underneath, they hide a deep pit filled with sharp teeth. These entities depend on wanderers falling into their trap. The best way to eliminate them is to pour Liquid Pain into the puddle, or throw metal into their mouths to pierce their lining. Paintings Poorly drawn paintings and drawings are found on the walls, floors, and ceilings of the maintenance halls. These paintings are actually living entities, and some show organisms that may reach out and drag wanderers into the artwork. The eyes of certain portraits may move, and there are accounts of the entity moving erratically. Additional Information A string of letters was found written on a wall with an unknown substance: TVEMWIXLISRIAMXLXLIEWLIRWOMRERHALSWIIWEPPALSORSAWEPPLIAMPPJVIIYWJVSQXLMWRMKLXQEVI A note written in fading black marker was found on the floor in a Maintenance Hall: I’ve gotten out of those yellow rooms, but now I’m in a warehouse. It’s strange, to say the least. No one is here, it’s so empty. Might walk around, explore a little. My marker is fading, so I’ll be writing lesser from now on. Update: I found a crate, but it was full of black, foul-smelling liquid. I’m not touching this. The lights just went out. I hear something in the dark, gonna try to take shelter in a hallway. This place is crazy, I saw some paintings, but their eyes were tracking my movements. Oh, fuck. I saw something with glowing eyes in the dark. It had five eyes. That thing with five eyes saved me. Killed a dog-looking creature while it was sneaking up behind me. It looked at me, and just left. I think I found an exit, so I’ll leave. Outposts, Bases, and Colonies Backroom Colonists Base Blink Owned by the Backroom Colonists. Friendly and open to trade. Population ranges from 30 to 60. Often interacts with other friendly groups in the level. The Raiders Recently discovered with around 78 members. Friendly with regular wanderers and open to trade but hostile to some groups. Often hoards supplies. Cultus Sancti Around 50 members. Hostile to non-members. Eliminated The Raiders. M.E.G. Base First Light Around 60 members. Guides lost wanderers to safer areas. Open to trade. Entrances Opening doors in many levels has a small chance of leading to Level 1. Wanderers can enter this level from Level 0 by walking up a flight of stairs. Unstable flooring in Level 13 may lead wanderers to this level if they no-clip through it. Exits Continuing to explore usually leads to Level 2 or back to Level 0 via staircases or hallways. An unlocked door may lead to Level 2." "Level 2: "Pipe Dreams" Threat Index: Class 2 » Unsafe » Stable » Low Entity Count Level 2 is a vast network of interconnected utility tunnels, maintenance shafts, and rusting pipes. Unlike other levels of the Backrooms, its space remains largely consistent and doesn’t shift dynamically, making it easier to navigate. However, the farther one travels from the entrance, the more complex the layout becomes, with vertical corridors that can cause injury or impede progress. The extreme heat and humidity in certain areas seem to keep entities away. The supply of provisions is limited, and water pipes contain Almond Water contaminated with rust, bacteria, and mutated viruses. Any liquids in the pipes should be avoided to prevent exposure to potentially deadly diseases. Geological activity is common, with earthquakes occurring regularly. These tremors don’t usually cause severe damage but can destroy parts of the level and make navigation more difficult. The temperature varies depending on the location, with areas near steam pipes reaching temperatures of 60-100°C, while other sections may be much cooler. There is also a rare occurrence of snow, though the reason for this is unknown. Exiting through the ventilation systems is not recommended, as the tunnels are too small to crawl through for long distances. Layout changes are common, and these shifts cannot be captured on video, as recordings often show hallucinatory alterations in real-time. There is no concrete explanation for these anomalies, though they are believed to be related to the level's geometrical properties. Communication devices like radios malfunction in Level 2, and there are no doors or recognizable fixtures, such as windows or trapdoors. Exits are typically found in crawlspaces, often filled with wires, and these areas are hazardous due to electrical charges. There is a possibility that Level 2 induces physical effects on newcomers, causing them to consume more energy and produce higher amounts of adrenaline, which can lead to exhaustion if pursued for too long. Entities & Anomalies Entities in Level 2, such as Clumps, Hounds, Smilers, and Skin-Stealers, are adapted to conserve energy. Interestingly, windows in the level do not lead to voids but instead show physical spaces with shadowy figures that seem more real than two-dimensional. The Biological Pipeline Certain crawlspaces are inhabited by a strange organism known as the Biological Pipeline, which stretches for long distances and consumes a variety of debris, waste, and even metal. These organisms secrete a neutralizing solution that can dissolve anything that enters their digestive system, making them dangerous for anyone who gets trapped inside. The Clockwork Theory (Hallucinatory Spatial Fluctuations) This theory suggests that Level 2 operates like a massive clockwork mechanism with parts of the level (such as furniture or layouts) shifting subtly. These changes are typically perceived by newcomers as hallucinations but are thought to be caused by hidden machinery within the level's structure. This theory does not apply to Level 0 or Level 1 due to their different layouts. False Entrances Certain levels that are numerically close to Level 2 may have false entrances leading to the level. These are often marked by graffiti or signs, and the only way to distinguish them is by turning back after entering. If the passageway changes or leads to an obstacle, it is likely a false entrance. Entering these false entrances can be dangerous, especially if entities are nearby. Colonies & Outposts Due to the nature of Level 2, no permanent bases have been established. Small groups sometimes create temporary shelters in the tunnels. Entrances & Exits Level 2 is the furthest known level accessible directly from normal reality by noclipping. Entering maintenance areas in various levels can lead to Level 2. In Level 8, vents can sometimes lead to this level. A manhole cover in Level 11 can provide access. Noclipping into pipes in Level 17 may also result in reaching Level 2." "Level 3: "The Electrical Station" Threat Index: Class 2 Unsafe Unstable Low Entity Count Level 3 is a large, complex area consisting of derelict maintenance halls, utility tunnels, and electrical machinery. The layout of this level is known to shift unpredictably, becoming more convoluted the farther one travels. The corridors are filled with various electrical devices, such as transformers, conductors, and industrial fans, all connected by long wires running through the ceiling and walls. The machinery is theorized to power other levels of the Backrooms, although the exact source of the electricity remains a mystery. Environment The level is characterized by high temperatures, especially near machinery and boiling-hot pipes running through the walls. These pipes contain various substances, including hot water, which makes many areas of the level uncomfortably hot and humid. Temperatures can range from 90°F (32.2°C) to 115°F (46.1°C), creating a harsh environment for any wanderer. Beneath the main hallways lies a network of circular utility tunnels. These tunnels lack the machinery found above and feature a sharp drop in temperature, going from the heat of the upper levels to below-zero conditions. Despite the freezing temperatures, the water in these tunnels remains liquid and fluctuates in height, sometimes rising to about one meter. This water, along with the increased presence of entities in these tunnels, leads most explorers to avoid this section of the level. Entities While there have been no confirmed reports of entities within Level 3, several sightings have been reported. These include Deathmoths at the end of dark corridors and Wretches in the lower tunnels. It’s speculated that Level 3 might be linked to the Wretched Cycle, a phenomenon that causes the disappearances of wanderers. The level has a high disappearance rate, especially in the tunnels, leading many to avoid it entirely. Colonies & Outposts Attempts to establish permanent colonies or outposts in Level 3 have been unsuccessful due to the high rate of wanderer disappearances. Groups that split up or lose sight of each other tend to vanish without a trace. As a result, creating outposts in this level is not recommended. Entrances & Exits Entrances Certain long hallways in Level 2 may lead to the electrical corridors of Level 3. Locations in Level 5 and Level 19 with small, illegible signs may lead to the electrical rooms of Level 3. Exits Elevators found sporadically in Level 3 may transport wanderers to Level 4 when a button is pressed. Some areas in the utility tunnels can lead to sublevels of Level 3. There are rare exits that lead to Level 5 via elevator. Dark, dimly lit passageways can occasionally lead to Level 6. Ladders in certain parts of Level 3 may lead to a manhole cover, opening into the streets of Level 11." "Level 4: "The Abandoned Office" Threat Index: Class Habitable Safe Stable Devoid of Entities Level 4 is a large, quiet, and seemingly endless office complex resembling a commercial office building. It is marked by barren rooms and cubicles, many of which show signs that furniture was once present but has since been removed. The fluorescent lights on the ceiling are often nonfunctional, and the power switches for them are missing. Despite the absence of furniture in many areas, smaller rooms may contain desks, desktop computers, and partly functional lighting. The level is considered safe, with no hostile entities present. There is a tranquil, eerie atmosphere here, characterized by the ambient sound of rain tapping on the windows. The rain echoes throughout the level due to the enclosed nature of the environment, creating a universal sound that is heard everywhere. The temperature remains stable, fluctuating between 12°C and 18°C (54°F to 64°F), and the sky, visible through the windows, remains in a constant state of downpour, occasionally changing to other weather patterns such as thunderstorms or blizzards. The layout of Level 4 is Euclidean, meaning it follows normal geometric rules with straight lines and predictable paths. It spans around 120,000 km² (74,560 mi²), making it a vast but navigable space. The level is known to have a large population, estimated in the hundreds of thousands, mainly consisting of wanderers who find refuge here. Environment The environment is filled with features typical of an office space: hallways, workrooms, and cubicles, but with a stark absence of life. The walls are often devoid of decoration, and the air is stale. There are vending machines scattered throughout, which offer a variety of goods, including Almond Water, Greek Fire, and other useful items. Although there are multiple stairwells throughout the level, using them to ascend or descend will usually lead back to the same floor. Rarely, however, these stairs can lead to other levels, though this is not a reliable method of exit. The level also features many trapdoors, ceiling hatches, and emergency exits, though many of these lead to nowhere or to The Void. The "sky" visible from the windows is an artificial construct, remaining in a constant downpour with no natural change in the weather or time of day. This phenomenon is thought to be tied to the Void, as most unconventional methods of exiting the level lead to The Void or worse locations. Entities Level 4 is notably devoid of hostile life. The only inhabitants are humans, certain plant species, and microscopic creatures. There are no reported encounters with hostile entities, making it one of the few levels with no major threats to wanderers. Colonies & Outposts There are three notable outposts within Level 4, along with hundreds of smaller, less documented groups. Some of the significant groups include: Base Opportunity (M.E.G.): This outpost is focused on maintaining civilian affairs and trade within Level 4. It is estimated to have tens of thousands of members and plays a significant role in organizing and providing resources to wanderers in the area. B.A.S. (Backrooms Analytical Squadron): A scientific organization dedicated to studying the structure of Level 4, its mysteries, and its connections to the Frontrooms. They maintain good relationships with the Maintenance Workers from Level 3. S.R.C. (Society of the Red Cross: Natural Sciences and Medicine): A medical and pharmaceutical group focused on ensuring the health of wanderers. They stockpile medical supplies and provide assistance to those in need. Entrances & Exits Entrances A metallic door labeled “office sector” in Level 3 can lead to Level 4. A medical office door in Level 16 may lead to this level. Exits Doors playing classical music can lead to Level 5. Trapdoors and ceiling hatches may lead to Level 6. Emergency exits have a chance of leading to Level 14. Level 4 offers a rare sense of calm and stability, with a relatively safe environment for wanderers, though its eerie quiet and strange, persistent weather conditions create an unsettling atmosphere." "Level 5: "Terror Hotel" Threat Index: Class 5 »⠀Unsafe »⠀Unsecure »⠀Unconfirmed Entity Sightings Description Level 5 is presumably an infinite, ever-expanding hotel complex complete with all the sections a luxury hotel should have, such as lounges, ballrooms, guest rooms, restaurants, hallways, gyms, swimming pools, and maintenance halls. The level does not follow Euclidean geometry, which makes many wanderers lose track of where they are, never to be found again. Some places on this level are also randomly segmented, with some doors leading to nowhere or cut-off rooms or stairs. Due to how large this level encompasses, it is also rare for wanderers to gather together. Despite this, a few obscure outposts are clinging to survival. While most of the time, the level itself seems to have been constructed in the 1930s, with furniture dating back to the 1920s and following the design of an oriental hotel, the age, aesthetic, and appearance of the level can vary greatly. Opening a door seemingly to another room would lead to a complex with a completely different aesthetic, though this occurrence is rare. Despite shifts in the level's appearance, the overall lonely, liminal, eerie feeling never fades away. Wanderers would feel overwhelming anxiety and paranoia when on the level. This level is infamous for its mysterious whispering and unseen presence. People report something whispering incoherently behind them, tapping their shoulder when they're alone, shadows/silhouettes passing behind colored windows, sudden feelings of being stalked and objects falling, moving, or disappearing when not observed. It is unknown whether these reports increase the anxiety level or are hallucinations due to increased anxiety, but wanderers are more volatile and nervous at said level. That, along with the stares of the face-like wallpaper and the common 1920s-era machinery can cause a loss of sanity, which is why one will need almond water to survive at this level. Luckily, these provisions are in the dining areas of Level 5. Despite this, many people still go insane. They may show symptoms and behaviors similar to a Jovial, such as hysteria and a lack of reasoning, although there is a clear absence of the Sanguine Festivus virus in Level 5. Many also speculate that this level fosters the transformation of Wretches. Many paintings, mainly portraits, appear on the walls of the hotel complex, and wanderers have reported feeling an increased sense of paranoia when walking past these paintings, some wanderers even stated they felt like they were watched. The portraits are gruesome, usually depicting petrified faces and eldritch deities. The hotel rooms are luxurious but always slightly cramped and claustrophobic in arrangement, despite the varying sizes of the rooms. Furniture is sometimes placed irregularly in the hotel halls and is seemingly immovable. This phenomenon creates unique obstacles that impede wanderers from exploring unknown sections of Level 5. Machinery such as faucets also malfunctions frequently, which may be hazardous in some situations. Windows rarely appear on Level 5, adding to the claustrophobic feeling. While windows usually depict a dark atmosphere outside, they also may show complete darkness. Furthermore, windows are all unbreakable aside from one variant: very rarely, a window in the modern variations of Level 5 would display level 188 behind it. These windows are rumored to be breakable and may transport wanderers to level 188. Rumors also say that some windows may be Predatory Windows in disguise, but no conclusive evidence is enough to prove their existence. The consistent jazz-like ambiance plays throughout the level, though it may sound farther or nearer at random intervals. A constant buzz of iridescent can also be heard along with reports of distant party chatter. Maintenance Halls By definition, the maintenance halls are sections that maintain, support, and regulate a hotel; it isn't accessible to hotel guests because it is off-limits and staff-only. These areas are seemingly separate from all other places in Level 5, differentiated by design, properties, and entry. The only entrance into the maintenance halls is by entering doors labeled "staff only." These doors are very rare and may appear in different languages. Furthermore, the doors are almost always locked, and forcible entry is the only way through. Maintenance halls in Level 5 may shift and align in design depending on the surrounding aesthetic one enters from. However, the maintenance halls are always cruder, simpler, and more industrial in design compared to the rest of the hotel, despite whatever style of the current state of the hotel. Furthermore, the maintenance halls also disregard Euclidean geometry, but to a greater and more chaotic extent than the rest of Level 5. Since most of Level 5 seems to be constructed as an oriental hotel in the 1900s, the most common variation of the maintenance halls wanderers chance upon are the boiler rooms, maintenance halls resembling the structures and machinery during the 1930s. The Boiler Rooms, sometimes known simply as "The Boilers" is a series of large cobwebbed hallways with high ceilings and stained plaster or concrete walls. This area contains many barred-off areas with large pieces of machinery. The long corridors are hot and dry, the scent of smoke filling the air. Pipes and exhaust valves from the early 20th century line the walls. Some of the larger rooms have Roaring 20s era furnishings and details. Many have reported the sounds of whispers from the large face-like boilers. The Database suggests that wanderers take extreme care while traversing the infinite hotel complex, as the Colonists and the ERC have recorded many mysterious deaths in Level 5. One will find corpses more commonly than one can find others. These deaths are usually unexplainable and unique. After further analysis, the corpses do not bear any wound or injury, as if they died of heart failure or gas leakage; though the frothing foam coming out of the pores of one's body, the twisted postures, and the abundance of the deaths suggest otherwise. While some suggest that entities may exist on Level 5, these deaths seemingly are beyond the caliber of what a normal entity does. The increasing number of deaths in Level 5 without a definitive reason raises many concerns, and one should exit this level as quickly as possible. Entities While there are rumors of Hounds, Skin-Stealers, Wretches, Death Moths, and Predatory Windows on the level, these accounts are unconfirmed and require further evidence, such as pictures, videos, or multiple witnesses reporting the same occurrence. Strangely enough, many wanderers who claimed they saw entities stated that the entities were incredibly skittish, constantly hiding, and seemingly passive unless provoked. Outposts and renowned explorers such as Rayne, Cunningham, Mitch, Lance, and Araine have not reported entities in Level 5, which makes many write off the previous rumors as lies or hallucinations. Colonies and Outposts Further discoveries and recent studies proved that time is irrelevant in the backrooms. In reality, people judge time by the sun's movements; differing planets and locations all have differing time dilations. Since the backrooms are a different dimension, time here is an entirely different concept. Each liminal space is separate from another, some levels, such as Level 5, do not even have a day-night cycle, making it impossible to determine how much time has passed. Even time-measuring devices such as clocks are useless, as a moment passing in Level 5 could mean an hour in level 3 or a century in reality. This fact is proven further by the existence of the Originals, a group of known historical figures that disappeared throughout human history. Many members have significant time gaps in their date of disappearance, yet seemingly are around the same age, contradicting time consistency throughout the backrooms. Furthermore, these time measuring devices are also very prone to malfunction and rapid deterioration when one no-clips into the liminal purgatory. The Originals The Originals are a group of people trapped in the Backrooms throughout the passing of human history. Many famous historical figures who disappeared have ended up in the backrooms and are now part of this group. This group consists of around 50 members. They are nomadic, traveling throughout Level 5 at random intervals. Notable members include Amelia Earhart, John White, Dorothy Arnold, Solomon Northup, John Jacob Astor IV, Capt. Edward Smith, and Jimmy Hoffa. The Originals work as a team and do not have an official leader, but people like Earhart, White, and Smith are well respected and take the role of unofficial leaders when needed. Though they are suspicious of anyone from later or earlier periods, they are willing to trade goods with passersby but reluctant to interact with other colonies like the ERC and the Backroom Colonists. Many newer members were no-clipped during the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake, the 1912 sinking of the Titanic, and the 1931 Yangtze floods. Outpost hotel (ERC) Level 5 is the most dangerous level the ERC has settled in, though Outpost Hotel's members take the necessary precautions to remain safe. This outpost is one of the ERC's most productive outposts and is located in the boiler rooms. Despite the lack of entities at this level, the ERC is actively trying to research more about the rumored creatures and their behavior. The M.E.G also has partial interactions with this outpost since they do not have an outpost in level and are currently cooperating with the ERC. There were initially 30 members in the outpost. The current amount of members left is classified. Base Deimos | Base Phobos (Backrooms Colonists) The Backroom Pioneers (the previous version of The Backroom Colonists) gained an outpost on Level 5 after the colonization of Camp Amber. The colony endured throughout the great war, the collapse, and the reformation of the Backroom Colonists and still is a pivotal outpost of the faction today. The settlement documented most of the Level 5's environment and is currently responsible for reporting additional properties to the Database. The colony was made up of two bases, base Deimos and base Phobos. Base Deimos is responsible for security, while base Phobos is responsible for research. Both bases are located near each other for convenience. Entrances and Exits Main Entrance: Coming upon an ornately-decorated door emanating disquieting classical music through Level 4. Random no-clipping. Exits Main Exit: Some empty doorways that show complete darkness in the maintenance halls may take you to Level 6. Random no-clippage may take wanderers to Level 5's sub-levels. An unnaturally extensive hallway may transition to the environment of a greenhouse, which would lead one to Level 13." "Level 6: "Lights Out" LEVEL 6 THREAT INDEX Class Pending Level 6 is the seventh level within The Backrooms. Due to its pervasive anomalous properties, it serves as a major obstruction to further exploration. Description Level 6 is a sprawling, barren tundra cast in perpetual dusk. Littering the forest floor are a diverse number of brush crops along with other natural vegetation, the majority of which are wilting due to extended dehydration. The landscape is covered in a wide variety of rock formations, typically consisting of jagged boulders scattered throughout the terrain. Some rocks have unusual markings or sharp, crystalline structures, suggesting unnatural origins. As the ground is unstable and prone to collapse, it is easy for one to lose their footing within the level; as a result, many large pitfalls are strewn about the terrain, which render large portions of the level entirely unnavigable. Most methods of communication are entirely fruitless within the level, as electronic devices do not function and radio signals are dysfunctional. Portable light sources also do not function within Level 6, with fires, flashlights, and other lighting being extinguished upon entry, making it impossible to combat the level's oppressive darkness. Throughout the extensive wilderness, one may come across large valleys between the mountain peaks. The ground of these clearings are mostly covered in yellow-brown grass emitting a repulsive stench. In some of these large clearings, there may be massive stone obelisks containing texts written in indecipherable glyphs and lexicons. What purpose said obelisks serve is yet to be revealed, though some theorize they are exits to other levels, or otherwise thresholds of some sort. Auditory hallucinations are frequently experienced in Level 6, ranging from the distant chirping of birds to indecipherable voices echoing throughout the forest. It is widely believed that the level can influence one's perception of reality, resulting in symptoms such as paranoia and derealization. As a result of such factors, as well as the level's sheer darkness, Level 6 is widely considered to be a significant roadblock to further exploration, as most wanderers who enter this level either submit to Roth Syndrome or perish due to other unrelated factors. The auditory hallucinations and paranoia experienced in Level 6 are all results of being exposed to its oppressive darkness, as mental deprivation may occur due to a lack of sleep and sheer isolation. After extended periods within Level 6, further exploration becomes significantly more difficult due to fatigue and constant, involuntary bursts of rest, known as microsleep, with the profound darkness having a detrimental psychological effect on the human body. Subterranean Areas Level 6 contains an extensive network of subterranean corridors, located a few meters underground. While containing the same profound darkness as the rest of the level, they are characterized by their notably dilapidated appearance. These rooms, unlike the surface areas, contain a high level of humidity, facilitating mold growth. The air of the halls is thick and dusty, with a rancid, rotting stench permeating throughout the entire complex. The fluorescent lights within these areas are cracked and dysfunctional, with some of them being ripped out of the ceiling entirely. Similar to Level 2, a uniform network of rusty metal pipes line the walls. Opening these pipes reveals a viscous substance similar to crude oil or tar. The aforementioned fluid can also be found dripping on the ceiling and the walls, forming a dark layer of grime on most surfaces. The pipes, as well as the liquid they contain, emits a repulsive smell similar to decaying flesh or rotting produce, among other things. In addition, entrances to cavern systems deep underground have been found, often interconnected by rickety metal catwalks. While these have been proven to exist, information about them remains ambiguous—with research suggesting they may have a connection to Level 8. Entity Presence As most flora and fauna are in a state of decomposition, the only recorded life within the level is the abundant mold in the level's subterranean areas. Due to its harsh conditions and sheer lack of resources, Level 6 has been deemed unsuitable for habitation. Entrances and Exits Entrances There are one documented entrances that lead to Level 6: Going through a boiler located within Level 5; Exits Additionally, there are three documented exits: Entering a hole, which will lead one to Level 8; As well as wandering far enough, or finding a seemingly anomalous light source, which lead one to Level 7." "Level 7: "Thalassophobia" Threat Index: Class 3 Exit Difficulty: 4/5 (Very Difficult to Exit) Environment Risk: 4/5 (High Environmental Risk) Entities: 1/5 (Singular Entity Presence) Description Level 7 consists of a metal bunker floating atop an endless, foggy expanse of ultrapure water. Despite its apparent lack of anchoring, the structure remains stationary, with its position constant regardless of the surrounding water’s conditions. The water temperature is 4°C, which may lead to hypothermia without proper protection. Inside the bunker, there is decrepit furniture like metal bunk beds, folding chairs, and makeshift bookshelves. The water flooding the bunker is knee-deep and cold, posing a danger if exposed for too long. The ocean around the bunker appears largely still but plunges into unknown depths beyond. The Thing on Level 7 "The Thing" is a colossal sea creature of unknown size that inhabits the level. Despite its enormous size, it does not seem to affect the gravitational anomalies present in the area. The creature's anatomy is altered due to the unusual gravitational forces, causing its organs to be displaced or stacked unnaturally. Entrances Roaming Level 6 for a long time may lead to the transition to Level 7’s bunker. Exits Swimming deep into the ocean can transport one to several levels, including: Level 4 (through a floating door labeled "No Exit") level 8 "Level 8: "Cave System" Threat Index: Class 3 Exit Difficulty: 3/5 (Difficult to Exit) Environment Risk: 3/5 (High Environmental Risk) Entities: 2/5 (Some Hostile Presence) Description Level 8 is a vast subterranean complex consisting of towering, rocky heights and twisting underground passages. The frigid caverns, coupled with their difficulty of navigation, have rendered it nearly impossible to map or measure accurately. Consequently, very few people have ventured into the depths of Level 8, and even fewer have made it back out. The acoustics in Level 8 are peculiar, as any sounds made within the caverns echo extensively, making it easy to become disoriented or lose your sense of direction. The lower areas of the level often contain stagnant, icy water, which, while generally safe to drink, is hazardous to collect without proper equipment. There have been numerous reports of wanderers who fell into the water and drowned simply by kneeling to retrieve it, which has led to many theories about the true nature of the water. Despite the water's appearance, it remains in a liquid state even at temperatures far below freezing. There are also signs of past wanderer habitation, including dilapidated bridges made from loose wooden planks and small shelters filled with old supplies. These outposts appear to have been constructed long ago, possibly decades or even centuries ago, yet no written records or groups have claimed responsibility for them. The Burrows The Burrows are a labyrinth of narrow, underground tunnels and small chambers beneath the cave floor. Entrances to these tunnels are often tight and require crawling, making exploration hazardous. Some passages are too cramped for entry. It is highly recommended to avoid these tunnels, as one can easily become lost or trapped. Reports from wanderers suggest that the layout of The Burrows changes unpredictably, with some tunnels that initially seemed to lead back to the surface instead leading to even more confined and deeper areas. In some cases, groups have become separated because the tunnels shift when not directly observed. This inconsistency in the layout poses a great danger, especially in groups where wanderers can become lost even after only briefly losing sight of one another. Entities While the variety of species in Level 8 is relatively limited, the level's ecosystem is dominated by a few predatory species, most notably the Mortisdoptera and Troglosidae. Mortisdoptera: Large, moth-like creatures that attack in swarms, using their venomous mandibles to incapacitate prey. These entities are attracted to light sources, so it is highly recommended to avoid carrying any light-producing equipment, such as flashlights. They are primarily phototactic and spot prey using advanced photoreceptors. These creatures can be highly dangerous, as their venom can cause intense pain, paralysis, and death. Troglosidae: These large, spider-like creatures have four pairs of disproportionately long legs and two pairs of prolegs. While they resemble spiders, they belong to a different order of arthropods. Their legs are used for web-building, and their mandibles help them subdue prey. They are mostly adapted for hunting small creatures in the caves. Colonies and Outposts Though abandoned outposts are scattered across the caves, constructing new settlements in Level 8 is not advised due to the many dangers of the environment, including its cold temperatures and the threat posed by the local fauna. The lack of usable resources also makes survival in the caves for long periods of time incredibly difficult. Entrances and Exits Entrances: Holes in the terrain of Level 6 or the depths of Level 7 often lead to Level 8. Exits: While no verified exits have been confirmed, many wanderers have reportedly escaped Level 8. Most accounts involve finding a small tunnel or a vertical shaft leading into another level. One recent report describes a potentially dangerous method of escape via the water pits in the level, though this is considered highly perilous." "Level 9: "Darkened Suburbs" Threat Index: Class 4 Unsafe Unstable High Entity Count Description Level 9, also known as "Darkened Suburbs" or "The Suburbs," is an extensive and winding network of paved asphalt roads and residential homes that resemble a modern suburban neighborhood. However, it is a place far from normal, as natural light is virtually nonexistent. The level is perpetually shrouded in darkness, and the lights of its many buildings rarely function. Additionally, a thick, inky fog covers the streets, limiting visibility to about ten meters. The environment is further exacerbated by harsh winds and occasional storms, with the average temperature hovering around a chilly 10°C (50°F), making the climate another challenge for any wanderers. The condition of the infrastructure is deteriorating, and many of the streets and sidewalks are broken into small chunks, exposing the barren soil beneath. Some areas have no pavement at all, and wanderers are forced to navigate through mud-caked soil. While remnants of vehicles can be found scattered along the derelict streets, they are typically in a state of advanced disrepair, rusted and deteriorated. Due to the dilapidated state of the buildings—particularly those meant for data and energy transmission—there is no stable internet connection in Level 9, rendering long-distance communication impossible. However, telecommunication antennas are still visible atop various structures, suggesting the potential for communication through radios or short-range transceivers. Entities in Level 9 tend to avoid brighter areas, possibly as a defense mechanism. Therefore, they tend to linger in the darker, more abandoned regions, waiting for prey to wander by. Structures The primary structures in Level 9 are residential houses, which appear in various states of decay. These houses range in age, with some displaying architecture from as far back as the 17th century, while others feature unidentifiable, confusing designs. Many houses are eerily similar to each other and are spaced in a regular pattern, resulting in large clusters of identical homes scattered across the level. In some cases, buildings are connected in bizarre ways, with walls merging into other houses or rooms stretching from one building to another. These anomalies may cause some structures to form long chains of connected homes, creating a surreal, unsettling environment. Inside these houses, the furniture is often old, damaged, or entirely absent. While some houses contain useful supplies, the chances of finding anything of value are minimal. Occasionally, small markets or warehouses can be found, where supplies such as almond water, incomplete first aid kits, or melee weapons may be discovered, though these are few and far between. Less commonly seen are electrical stations, which are found in the deeper parts of the level. These stations, however, are mostly outdated, rusted, and broken, offering no real power to the structures around them or to the power lines along the streets. The lampposts in the level are the primary source of outdoor lighting. Although some are broken, they help guide wanderers through the dark streets and can be useful in avoiding hazards such as broken pavement or lurking entities. There are also more unusual buildings scattered throughout Level 9, but they tend to offer no valuable resources or supplies. Recovered Note: "An Incessant Daze" An anonymous wanderer provided a note detailing their experience in Level 9. They describe a constant sense of unease while wandering through the desolate, suburban landscape, likening it to a nightmarish dream. Despite the familiarity of the suburban setting, there is a profound emptiness, amplifying the feelings of anxiety and sorrow. The wanderer feels trapped in an endless cycle of exploration, drawn between exhaustion and fear of being forgotten in the cold, artificial world of the suburbs. The note captures a sense of hopelessness and uncertainty, with the wanderer resigned to the painful reality of their existence in the level. Colonies and Outposts Due to the hostile environment, the large number of entities present, and the vast expanse of the level, colonies and outposts do not exist in Level 9. Entrances and Exits Entrances: Tripping or falling through the caves of Level 8 can lead to Level 9. Entering a door labeled "Neighborhood" in Level 20 may transport you to Level 9. Exits: Following a series of arrow street signs pointing north may lead to Level 11. Walkways that lead to grass fields may take you to Level 10. A haphazardly placed greenhouse may, if entered, lead to Level 13." "Level 10: "The Bumper Crop" Threat Index: Class 1 Safe Stable Minimal Entity Count Description Level 10 is a vast, endless pasture filled with wheat and barley fields. The land is divided by lines of trees and shrubbery, creating a checkerboard-like layout. The level is perpetually overcast, with a leaden sky and only occasional spells of light rain and fog. The climate remains unchanged, which makes it difficult to track time, as the atmosphere is uniform, and the only variations come from occasional gusts of wind among the crops. Due to its abundant natural resources and lack of immediate threats, Level 10 is considered a prime candidate for settlement in the Backrooms. The wheat and barley appear safe for consumption, and early reports suggest these crops may provide a reliable food source. However, more research is needed to fully understand the nutritional value of these resources. Water Water is present in several bodies throughout Level 10, usually at a consistent elevation. The soil here has hydrophobic properties, which prevent the water from being absorbed into the ground. The water is deemed safe to drink, although it has a slightly earthy taste. There are no signs of algae or harmful organisms, only various benign microbes and fungi. The water is believed to be highly oxygenated, which contributes to its clear, seemingly uncontaminated appearance. Structures Several structures can be found scattered across Level 10, including small wooden sheds, barns, and stables. These buildings are mostly empty, although they often contain useful materials like wood and nails. These resources could be valuable for construction or other practical purposes. While these structures provide the possibility of establishing a permanent settlement, further investigation is needed to determine whether Level 10 can sustain long-term occupation. Flora The shrubbery that divides the fields is made up of various species of plants. The height of these plants remains constant and does not appear to be influenced by environmental factors, such as age or competition for sunlight. The trees are of average hardness and can be used as a source of wood, though it’s often more practical to obtain wood from the buildings. Further exploration of the plants could reveal additional insights into the ecology of Level 10. Paths and Roads Dirt paths often cut through the fields of Level 10, with two parallel strips of tire tracks separated by grass, suggesting the paths are regularly used by vehicles such as cars or tractors. However, no vehicles have been seen in the level, and these paths do not appear to regenerate once they are damaged. Interestingly, attempts to cultivate plants along these roads have failed, with seeds sown on the paths consistently failing to germinate. Following these paths for long distances may eventually lead to Level 11. Entities The primary entity in Level 10 is a type of worm-like creature that inhabits the soil. These worms have been observed by digging into the earth, which is only about a meter deep before the worms emerge from the darkness below. It is unknown how deep the worms go or where they originate from, but it’s clear that the worms are active in the soil. Digging deeper than a meter has been shown to cause worms to rapidly surface, posing potential risks such as injury, damage to clothing, and even harm if the worms attempt to burrow into the skin. To minimize risk, it is advised to only dig small holes rather than deep trenches. Colonies and Outposts Despite being mostly used as a transitory location, Level 10 shows promise as a place to sustain long-term habitation. Plans are in place to establish an outpost in Level 10 to further investigate the possibility of long-term settlement. A comprehensive analysis will determine if the level can support permanent residents. Recovered Excerpts An interview with an anonymous woman who lived in Level 10 with her family as a child provides additional context. She recalls playing a game where she would watch things decompose, something she had done back home before arriving in Level 10. However, when she tried the same game with wheat in Level 10, she found that the wheat never decomposed. The experience led her to realize that despite the abundance of food, she was starting to feel weaker, which raised concerns about the level’s long-term sustainability. Entrances and Exits Entrances: Walkways from Level 9 that lead to grassy fields may bring you to Level 10. Some streets in Level 11 have back roads that connect to Level 10. Exits: Following a road for a prolonged distance may lead to Level 11." "Level 11: "Concrete Jungle" Threat Index: Class 2e Safe Unstable Devoid of Life Description Level 11 is a vast, desolate cityscape filled with towering, monolithic buildings and winding, cracked asphalt roads. The architectural style of these structures varies widely, though they often resemble modern urban designs from the West. However, the further one travels from the entrances, the more the city’s architecture becomes disordered and irregular, hinting at a chaotic and poorly planned construction process. The city itself is largely unstable and non-Euclidean, making it nearly impossible to map or navigate in a linear fashion. Explorers have found it difficult to traverse the level due to its confusing and disorienting geometry. Despite its apparent lack of life, there are subtle signs of past human habitation, such as graffiti, tire tracks, and scattered litter, leading to speculation about the level’s history and whether it was once inhabited. Infrastructure The streets of Level 11 are divided by long, winding roads that appear to go on indefinitely. Traffic lights at street corners constantly flicker between green, yellow, and red without any discernible pattern, and the roads themselves are cracked and worn. The street signs are nonsensically labeled, and the spaces between the towering buildings are often less than a meter wide, creating a maze-like environment. The buildings themselves creak and groan under the weight of time and the elements, contributing to a creepy, unsettling atmosphere. The materials used to build the city seem subpar, leading to the gradual degradation of the roads and buildings. Even with all these inconsistencies, the scale of the city suggests it could house millions of people—yet, it remains empty. Buildings Inside the structures, the design is even more chaotic. The interiors contain winding, confusing hallways and bizarre, nonsensical layouts. Staircases may end abruptly, doors often open to solid walls, and hallways might loop back on themselves or lead to dead ends. The labyrinthine designs are disorienting, leaving explorers lost and confused. There are no clear architectural patterns, making the interiors even harder to navigate. Climate The air in Level 11 contains significant pollutants, such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, which are typically associated with industrial activity and vehicle emissions. This is particularly strange because there is no apparent source of such pollution in the deserted city. The presence of these pollutants raises questions about the level's past and its environmental stability. Additionally, the gravitational and magnetic properties in certain areas of Level 11 are inconsistent, suggesting that there may be an uneven distribution of mass or extremely dense structures buried deep beneath the surface. This has made further exploration hazardous, as these anomalies could potentially destabilize parts of the city. Flora Level 11 is entirely devoid of life, including plants. Grass and other vegetation, if found, are in a state of decay or decomposition. Attempts to introduce foreign plants into the environment result in their rapid deterioration. The plants decompose at an accelerated rate, with all vegetation withering within minutes of being placed in the level. The cause of this phenomenon remains a mystery, adding to the unsettling nature of the level. Colonies and Outposts Level 11 appears to be completely lifeless, with no evidence of any current inhabitants. Despite the vastness of the city, which could theoretically support a large population, there is no sign of life. This emptiness has led many explorers to wonder what happened to the people who once lived here. Some theorize that the city was abandoned or that some disaster led to the mass disappearance of its inhabitants. Entrances and Exits Entrances: Following a dirt road for a prolonged period in Level 10 may eventually lead to Level 11. Open areas in Level 84 might also connect to Level 11. Exits: Some alley streets may lead to a dirt road, which eventually leads to Level 10. Descending through a manhole cover may take you to Level 2." "(ps.):Anomalous Level: "Level ! /// Run For Your Life" Survival Difficulty: Class ! Unsafe and Unsecure Environmental Hazards Entity Infestation Introduction "Run For Your Life!" (also known as Level !) is one of the most dangerous and unstable levels of the Backrooms, marked by its chaotic and life-threatening environment. The level gained its name from the overwhelming urgency that any wanderer feels upon entering—requiring them to run for their survival as hostile entities relentlessly pursue them Level Description The layout of Run For Your Life! is deceptively simple, but it is far from safe. It consists of a long, narrow hallway that resembles a modern hospital corridor. While the hallway’s precise length is difficult to ascertain due to its dangerous nature, it is believed to span approximately 10 kilometers. Occasionally, the hallway will curve, though such turns are rare and sporadic. The entire hallway appears to be constructed from a material similar to concrete, with random placements of red "EXIT" signs lighting the way,everywhere is flashing red colors repeatedly,very loud sounds screams and etc. One of the most unsettling features of this level is the randomness of the "EXIT" signs—some sections have numerous signs, while others have none, plunging parts of the level into total darkness. This randomness creates a disorienting and uneasy atmosphere. Additionally, strange stainless-steel doors are scattered throughout the hallway. These doors seem to be unyielding, and while many wanderers try to open them in search of escape, it is highly unlikely they will lead to freedom. The First Area When entering Level !, most wanderers find themselves in a small, reflective room around 625 square feet in size. The walls, ceiling, and floor are composed of a reflective metal material, and the room is dimly lit by a dull red light. There are two doors in the room, each leading to a different fate. One door leads to a hallway, while the other opens into an area where hostile entities begin to gather. These entities will relentlessly pound on the door, trying to break it down, and will eventually succeed. The door holding them back will bulge under the pressure, creating a terrifying atmosphere. Interestingly, while the second door will eventually open, it can take a while to do so, adding to the anxiety of the situation. Safe, For Now... Before the Hell Upon opening the second door, wanderers find themselves in a seemingly pristine hospital hallway. This area is eerily empty, and while it resembles a hospital, there are no signs of life. The walls are made of wood, the ceiling features white tiles, and the floor consists of porcelain tiles. Although it might seem safe at first, this area quickly begins to change. After a short time, the doors will lock, trapping wanderers inside. The lighting dims, and the red "EXIT" signs glow brighter, casting a sinister hue. The unsettling alarm sound heard earlier will grow louder, and the environment will begin to transform into something far darker and more dangerous. Traps will appear along the path, including electrical cords and gaping holes in the floor, making the situation even more precarious. The Chase The ultimate goal in Level ! is to escape before the horde of entities catches up. These entities adapt to the wanderer's running speed, meaning that even the most physically fit individuals will struggle to escape. Although the entities will slow down over time, the illusion of escape is dangerous. The further one travels, the fewer "EXIT" signs appear, and the darkness increases. This is where traps become more common, and visibility is greatly reduced. Entities such as Hounds, Smilers, Skin-Stealers, Partygoers, and others will relentlessly pursue anyone who enters Level !. If one comes across a fake exit (a door with no actual escape), they risk being trapped and consumed by the pursuing entities. The only real exit is the one at the end of the hallway, which leads to an unknown random level. Entities and Traps Entities in Run For Your Life! range from typical Backrooms entities to more unique ones, all of which are hostile and intent on capturing the wanderer. The chase intensifies as the hallway gets darker, and the traps become more difficult to avoid. Some traps include hidden electrical cords and dangerous holes in the floor. The further you go, the more you'll feel like you've escaped—only to be reminded that this level will not let you go that easily. The entities will continue to pursue, creating a never-ending nightmare. Special Events Entities Breaking Through Doors Occasionally, weakened or rusted doors along the hallway will give way to hostile entities. When this happens, a new threat will emerge, further escalating the danger. Gray Halls During this rare event, the red lighting will shift to a dull gray, and parts of the level will begin combusting. This can reduce the number of entities, but the fire poses an even greater threat. Checkpoint In a rare and potentially dangerous event, wanderers may find a room labeled "SAFETY IS NEAR." Entering this room offers brief respite from the entities. However, staying too long will result in the walls closing in, crushing those inside. The room's exit will lead to a random new section of Run For Your Life!, often with even more dangers. Run For Your Life! EX This event involves a distorted version of the level where the wanderer experiences the level’s challenges in an endless loop. After reaching the exit, the wanderer is sent back to the beginning of the level, with the entities becoming even more dangerous. Nowhere to Go This event can occur when the level explodes, sending the wanderer into the Void or, in rare cases, Level 6. Fake Exit Exiting through a seemingly legitimate door may only result in being sent back to the start of the level or trapped in a no-clip glitch. Entrances and Exits Entrances: Run For Your Life! can be entered from nearly any level in the Backrooms, usually through unexpected means such as faulty elevators or random exclamation marks. There’s no clear way to avoid entering it once you’re in the Backrooms, so stay alert. Exits: The exit is located at the end of the long, narrow hallway, though it is often tricky to find due to the increasing darkness and number of traps. The exit will lead to a random level, but once you complete Run For Your Life!, you can never re-enter."
