Level ε is a Symbol Level, which can only be entered by attempting to kill yourself in The Backrooms.
Description
Level ε is a level, which takes place in a destroyed town. While inside Level ε, the visitor's perceived colors is always black and white, and will stay that way, rendering those who enter Level ε colorblind, even if they leave Level ε.
Once inside, a path will be automatically cleared from the debris from an unknown source. Cries coming from inside the destroyed structures will always be present and going off course from the path will trap the visitor in debris. Going with the path will lead the visitor to a church after five (5) minutes. Inside will have chairs lined up in 3 rows on 2 sides. It is important that you do not sit on the chairs. At the podium is a docile Smiler. It is important not to anger the Smiler, or you will be rendered paralyzed, and disappear. It is unknown what happens to those who anger the Smiler.
Such examples of angering the Smiler is:
- Using Smiler Exterminator on the Smiler
- Using debris from the path and throwing it at the Smiler
- Attempting to assault the Smiler
- Sitting on the chairs; (Reserved for the Smiler's "Priests".)
- Lying to the Smiler
- Using photography inside the church
After 10 seconds, the Smiler will welcome you and question on why you are here. If lied to, you will be paralyzed, if told the truth, then the Smiler will be pleased and give you a weapon. If you do not use the weapon in 2 minutes on yourself, you will be paralyzed. The weapon given to you can be lethal injection or a shotgun, to a rusted knife or glass shard. If you are killed, you will be transported to Level 0, colorblind. If not, you will be transported to whatever level you were on, with the injuries you inflicted yourself with.
Exploration Log
We were told to end ourselves after being captured by Jerry. It was better this way. But we didn't expect to go to the afterlife. We were probably going to wake up back in the Backrooms again, and we were right, but not in the place we thought we would be. It was this weird, white-monotone place. Debris everywhere and destroyed structures. There were four of us. We were trying to get in contact with the MEG operative on our radio. We told him what was going on and what we should do, but all we heard was static. Then Jared stepped onto the debris and it engulfed him. We stood there, frozen in place for a few hours. Michael worked up to courage to go onto the path, making sure to step around the debris. We followed him, and I accidentally stepped on the debris on the path, but I wasn't devoured. Thank fuck for that. Anyways, we were walking for a few minutes, when we stumble across a church. I didn't want to get eaten, so I told Michael to go, but he was having second thoughts. We were arguing for a few minutes before Michael just went inside, all frustrated and calling us pussies. We follow after him, and we end up inside the church. There's a smiler at the podium, and Michael uses the
