Level ! is one of the most dangerous oddball levels in the Backrooms.

Description

A photo of the exit taken by a traveler close to reaching it.

Level ! consists of a long hallway, approximately 10 km in length, with architecture resembling a hospital. Flashing red lights are present at even intervals along the hallway, along with an audible emergency alarm noise. At random intervals, doors are present along the hallway, but all have been locked thus far.

Properties

Another close-up photo of the exit.

Once you enter this level, you'll immediately notice that behind you there is a horde of entities (Hounds, Skin-Stealers, Facelings etc.) running directly at you. Your objective is to escape the level as fast as you can before it's too late. The only way you can escape is by running all the way to the end of the 10 km long hallway. You'll have to run non-stop, with various obstacles, like hospital beds, chairs, and even through clumps that are blocking your way. Along the hallway, there are energy bars, which can be eaten to keep you running. If you run past the 10 km mark, you'll find an exit door at the end of the hallway. Entering it will lead you to a random level that is safe, with the Backrooms never sending you back here again. But if the horde of entities catches you, you'll be killed, most likely in a very painful and gruesome way.

Log: Discovery Of Level !

Operative Noah was in Level 2 on his way back to a colony called "The Survivors", trying to deliver valuable information about The Followers Of Jerry, when he anomalously appeared in Level !.

> OPEN FILE: MISSION DEBRIEF
[BEGIN LOG]

[8:26 AM] Noah: I did what you ordered. I've got everything about Jerry's followers, along with their secrets. I actually almost got caught when doing so.

Base: Alright, good work. Get back to base as fast as possible. Entities are quite common near Jerry's Room.

Noah: Yeah, I think I can make it in about 4 or 5 hours. Wait- that wall definitely was not there. It... seems like I'm at a dead end.

Base: Remain calm, there must be a way around it. There is a pause in the audio.

Base: Hello? Do you copy? Where the hell are you? [9:08 AM]

Noah: Oh, God! It looks as if I've noclipped into another level. This is very different from the other levels that I know, though.

Base: Please describe what you see.

Noah: It's a hallway, but it's... strangely distorted. There are lights flashing bright red, and some alarm noise won't stop blaring! I just tried opening some doors in the hallway, but they all seem to be locked.

Base: Noted. Please proceed down the hallway until you find an exit.

Noah: Holy- I hear footsteps behind me; there must be hundreds of them.

Base: Remain calm. We are sending in some of our people to investigate this. They are on their way to your location through Level 2.

Heavy breathing is audible.

Noah: I REALLY NEED SOME HELP! THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF ENTITIES BEHIND ME! I- I'm running through the corridor, but I don't know how long this goes!

Noah: Hello? Base! Shit, I lost the signal; I'm on my own now... OH NO, THE ENTITIES ARE CATCHING UP! THEY'RE ALMOST 20 METERS AWAY! There is a pause in the audio for around an hour, and nothing but heavy breathing and footsteps are audible.

[10:21 AM] Noah: Oh God, how long have I been running? The entities are getting closer! Oh! I- I think I see an exit sign!

More hyperventilating is heard.

Noah: OH, COME ON! I'M METERS AWAY FROM IT!

[END LOG]

The operatives arrived at Noah's location soon after. Only his uniform was found, soaked in a pool of blood.

You have to go further. Do not give in now.

Colonies and Outposts

Due to the nature of Level !, creating a colony or outpost is infeasible.
