Description
Entrance
The absolute top of the Abyss is an endless empty ocean. The level is in constant solar eclipse, and the paranoia effect of the Backrooms is amplified tenfold here. Wanderers who make it here will begin to experience crippling fear and begin hallucinating. After a few minutes, the Wanderer will begin seeing their worst fear. At this point, they must dive into the ocean and swim to the point of no return or their worst fears will be realized in the next five minutes (Ie. If a Wanderer has Thalassophobia, the ocean will grow above them infinitely and they will be killed by an aquatic creature). This layer of the Abyss has been officially named "The First Plane of Fear". There are presumably hundreds more, however all exploration past the first three layers has had to be conducted via drone due to the nature of this area, and thus fear effects cannot be gauged.
Overall
The Abyss proper is a near-infinite series of infinite layers that fold in on each other, creating a downwards spiral. These layers appear to be finite from the Void, but are actually each their own infinite spaces. This downwards spiral of layers seems to end eventually, but it is unknown how far down it goes. Text recovered via drone insinuates that the final layer is in fact a deity slumbering at the bottom of the Abyss, known as "Father" who apparently created the Abyss. It is unknown if this is connected from the entity known as "Mother" who exists in The Backrooms. The only way to move between levels are portals that will sometimes generate as levels rip themselves apart and mend themselves back together.
Known Layers
Expeditions could only be conducted for four layers. The first layer is a barren wasteland, with rocky outcroppings sticking out of the ground. This area seems to be underground, however it has a weather system. The rain on this level has a PH of 11, making it imperative to seek shelter if you notice clouds rolling in, as you will suffer alkali burns if you are caught out in it. It is unknown why this is. Alkaline water flows through the level, creating waterfalls. The roaring of water is constant in this level, and sound is amplified. This masks the sound of the entities on this level, so be vigilant if you end up here somehow. Entities here are the common entities in the Abyss: Wyrms, Burrowers, Batwings, and Stalkers (See below).
The second layer of The Abyss seems to be the ruins of an ancient city. Lakes of lava appear under the city
