Level -1 is the 1st negative level of the Backrooms.
Description
An image of Level -1.
Level -1 is a presumably infinite hallway that has doors on either side. The hallway features white painted walls and black painted doors. Each door leads to either Level 0, Level 2, or Negative Levels. This level is the one of the safest Negative Levels discovered so far, but that's not to say it isn't dangerous.
When inside this level, you will no longer hear the hum-buzz of the fluorescent lights from Level 0. Instead, you are likely to hear slight piano noises in the distance. The piano will often get louder as you venture deeper into the level, but no piano or player has ever been located. Some reports have described static-like visual anomalies as well as white noise with old advertisements from around the 1930's being picked up underneath the static. In these cases, vision will eventually become black and white with the "static-like" effect taking up your entire field of view. Once your vision has turned, you'll see people in old business suits, although any human features are completely invisible. You may also hear the chatter of unseen beings mixed with sounds previously mentioned.
Anyone who has made it this far always turns back at this point. When they do, they report seeing an unknown entity that they simply call 'Nutrisha'. Further expeditions will be started to explore Level -1. This level will be designated with a difficulty level of Class 2 until further notice.
