Level ! is one of the most dangerous in the Backrooms and one of the most entity-infested levels.
A photo of the exit was taken by a traveler close to reaching it.
Description
Level ! consists of a long hallway, approximately two kilometers 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.
Upon entry, one will immediately notice a horde of entities (Hounds, Skin-Stealers, Facelings, etc.) heading directly for them, a long distance down the hallway. The apparent "objective" is to escape the level as fast as one possibly can before it's too late. The only way one can escape is by running to the end of the three kilometer-long hallway. One must run non-stop, avoiding various obstacles along the hallway, such as hospital beds, chairs, and even Clumps blocking the way. Along the hallway, there are various items that can be consumed to keep one running, such as energy bars and bottles of Almond Water. If one manages to run past the three kilometer mark, they will come upon an exit door at the end of the hallway. Entering it will lead to a random level, with the Backrooms never sending them back here again. If the horde of entities catches them, however, the victim will be killed in a very painful and gruesome way.

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.
