Level -369 is a cognitohazard.
At a glance, it is a pleasant, surreal forest that has no name. The temperature of this place is a constant 73°F (~22.8°C). This level has a 12:12 light/dark cycle despite no sun of any kind existing here. The light source of this level is unknown.
This image, taken by wanderer F.J., features the surreal forest of Level -369 where you will begin your journey. F.J. got lost in these woods and died of starvation.
While this place is devoid of hostile entities,
(This place is infested with entities assuming this place exists at all.)
It releases an unknown agent that speeds up the metabolism causing anyone who dare linger here for more than three days to waste and starve to death.
There are no easy ways out of here. I will warn you now that you cannot no-clip out of this space.
Stop trying to no-clip your way out of the here! You f*ckin moron! It is does not work!!
I made sure no-clipping here would lead you straight to The Void.
I have been there before.
Je suis fou à cause de cet endroit...
Javaraya got sick of you lingering in his presence so he whispered a curse, and you ceased to exist.
You did not touch anything you were not supposed to... did you? You did not...
Bon!Let us continue...
The only salvation you have while traversing Level -369 is going through your choice of disembodied door hidden somewhere in these 'woods'.
Disembodied Doors of the Nameless Surreal Forest
How far are you, Gary, willing to go?
Ah bon?Let us put your tenacity to the test!
Plus profond! Plus profond encore!! Find one of these disembodied doors as quickly as you can or perish here. There is a total of three. Where do they lead...? That is for you to discover. Pick a door. Decide your fate but make your choose wisely. Somewhere below are your options of doors to enter. Avertissement juste! Opening a door seals the others shut. Do not try to no-clip a sealed door. Whatever happens to you if you do only, my brother, Dearil knows. F*ck around and find if you dare. If you want to enter the other spaces, you must no-clip in the level you selected to explore. There is a 99.99% chance you will fall into The Void. Determine if that is a risk you wish to take. No clipping might not be an option depending on where you are, so do keep that in mind.
Faites ce que vous devez mais il n'y a pas d'issues ici.
This image, taken by wanderer R.N., features disembodied Door #1. Wanderer R.N. never passed this door's threshold. The Hounds got to wanderer R.N. first.
Description
Level -369's Door #1 is a white door with high amber, stained glass. This door is surrounded by 9 acres of moist, temperate forest. Upon entering these 9 acres, you will notice that this spot is perpetually in the state of late afternoon. The sky is overcast 85% of the time. It smells like it is going to rain, but it never does. The temperature is between 56°F - 71°F (~13.3°C - 21.7°C). This area is infested with camouflaging hounds. There have been two reports of skin-stealers in the area, but this cannot be confirmed. Entering through this door will take you to a randomly generated residency spaces.
This image, taken by wanderer K.Y., shows the abandoned living room. Wanderer K.Y. descended the loop of 'Level 9'. They are presumed lost or dead.
Description
When crossing the threshold of Door #1, there is a 65% chance you will up in the 'Abandoned Living Room'. This space is well-lit and consists of two windows, a torn sofa, a large mirror, and a dusty shelf. Most people die here because they become content with their situation and stay here. Most wanderers claim they see their loved ones here, and this place shortly transforms into a warm, loving home. It is safe to say they are hallucinating. Their hallucinations are so real they disregard that they are dying of thirst or hunger. They also cannot fight the unknown entity that is swallowing them whole.

There is a 35% chance that you will be spontaneously transported to 'The Source of All House Fires'.
There is a 5% chance that you find yourself outside the 'Empty Closet'.
This image was removed from charred remains. The taker of this photo cannot be confirmed.
Description
The Source of All House Fires is a dim, moldy kitchen that consists of two windows, several shelves and cabinets, broken dishes and memories, and charred remains. There is not much to this space. Wanderers who get too close to the windows will be claimed by them. Most wanderers avoid the windows and try the door. The door disappears as you try to open it, leaving behind a bare charred wall. Realizing the door cannot be exploited. Wanderers try interacting with anything in the room to no-clip out. Wanderers who linger in this space for more than 15 minutes will spontaneously combust.
Signs you are combusting are a rapid increase of body temperature, smoke and ambers coming off your body, smoke coming from your mouth, coughing or spitting up ash, charring and igniting the skin, and burning of clothing.
The average adult male will be consumed by fire within 3 minutes of the initial fire. Nothing can stop the progress of your combustion once it starts. The cause of this is unknown.

This image was found outside the door. It cannot be confirmed who took this photo and what happened to them.
Wanderers in this reality will find themselves outside an 'empty closet'. There is not much to see besides the darkness staring back at you. The 'empty closet' is technically a false exit that leads to the space outside Door #2 or Door #3. There is a catch. There is a strong possibility that you will not get to any of those doors. The inside of this closet is infested with entities. You might get lost. You might no-clip and fall into The Void. An outline was created below to give wanderers an idea of their odds of avoiding death or damnation.

There is a 25% chance explorers who enter Door #1 will appear here. This space is a shadowy, dusty bedroom that consists of a bed, crib, broken chairs, filthy rug, and dried blood. The window is here to watch. Wanderers will appear in this place with at least five other explorers or facelings. Everyone in this space is initially cordial, polite, and excited to see another person. Staying in this space for longer than 10 minutes will trigger psychotic levels of anxiety, rage, aggression, and paranoia in all individuals or entities present. Arguments and suspicion will erupt between individuals. These heated arguments will progress into violent brawls. These brawls will turn deadly and will continue until everyone is dead or, one person remains. If one person is left standing, they will pass out and die from their injuries or exhaustion. It is not known why or how this happens. Fighting is non-stop. Brawls can last up to 8 days. The bodies will be left to rot before their are removed by Dearil. It is not known what Dearil does with the bodies.

This image, taken by wanderer C.C., features disembodied Door #2. This photo was removed from this wanderer's corpse found amongst the sugar cane.
Description
Level -369's Door #2 is 3 flights of cobblestone steps leading up to a white door. This door is surrounded by 169 acres of oppressively arid desert. It is worth noting here that once you pass the threshold of this desert, you cannot go back. The 'nameless' surreal forest ceases to exist. You will still be subjugated to the agent that is speeding up your metabolism. Trying to exit this desert causes you to loop back into it.
When traversing the 'Barren Salt Flats', you will notice that this spot is perpetually in the state of high noon. The temperature is between 90°F - 137°F (~32.2°C - 58.3°C). This area is infested with arid hounds, lighters, deathmoths, mirages, kettles and other unknown desert lurking entities. Entering through the door present in this space will take you to the 'Sugar Cane Field', 'The Reaping Nursery', or 'Golden Spiral Staircase'.
Unique Entities of the Barren Salt Flats: Mirages
Mirages are distant wavy, transparent entities that dwell in this space. These entities dance in such a way that hypnotize wanderers into thinking they are a body of almond water. They even release kairomones that mimic the scent of almond water to attract victims. These entities lead wanderers further and further into this dimension until they pass out from heat exhaustion, heat stroke or dehydration resulting in their predation.
Unique Entities of the Barren Salt Flats: Kettles
Kettles are cloaking, bird-like entities that travel in groups of 8 - 20. These entities fly in a wheeling/circling-like pattern when they spot viable prey. They have been known to circle prey for 4 days. It is worth mentioning that these airborne entities have never been seen directly. Their presence is evident by the shadow they cast as they circle above their target. You are lost if you see the shadow of circling 'birds' when traversing the 'barren salt flats'. Your only hope of surviving is finding Door #2 and to keep moving. These birds will swoop in the moment you collapse. These birds are also attracted to almond water, so if they are targeting you...do not drink it. The environment is accelerating your metabolism, so it will not help you anyway. I do enjoy watching you creatures drink this, eat that, take this in hope of reversing the damage this place is causing you. You are assuming this place is causing said damage. Anyway...if you do not find this door in time, hope the group of birds is large and they rip you apart quickly.
This image, taken by wanderer [unknown], shows the sugar cane field and the road that cuts through it. The explorer holding this picture could not be identified. The victim was mutilated.
Description
This area beyond the door is a lush field of sugar cane with a dirt road cutting through it. It is not known where this road leads. The screams you hear in the distance should deter you from following the road. The field is no safer. 90% of the people who traverse this field disappear. 87% of the people who attempt to collect or eat the sugar cane will develop a condition similar to cholera. The other 13% will contract The Mold as some plants have a symbiotic relationship with The Mold. Entities are hiding amongst the cane. The light/dark cycle is 2:28, which contributes to the disappearances and aid entities in predating wanderers. The temperature of this environment is unknown but not life-threatening.

Description
This environment emits a flat, steady sound comparable to rainfall, wind rustling trees, and the gentle crash of waves on the bench. Pink noise is deeper than white noise for a lack of better description. Relaxing, it is not? You could almost fall asleep in this pink sensory depriving space. Here you are safe.Ici, vous ne pouvez pas vous échapper. Ici, il n'y avait jamais d'échappatoire. Wanderers who find themselves here will drift into a deep sleep before entering a comatose state. The coma is permanent after 10 minutes. Lingering in a state of comatose longer than REM sleep (which is 10 minutes) will result in you becoming one with the static. You will dematerialize and cease to be. Pleasant, yes, or so you would think. You will go insane as your conscience merges with the hundreds lost here.
This image of brown static was acquired by anomalous means.
Description
This environment emits a dampen, soft roaring sound that is comparable to a waterfall, heavy rainfall, and strong winds. The frequency of this environment randomly changes in sound signal from one moment to the next. This environment is also nothing but brown static. Like 'Pink Static', 'Brown Static' will induce a deep sleep that will progress into a coma. The coma is permanent after 5 minutes. Lingering in a state of comatose longer than REM sleep (which is 10 minutes) will result in you becoming one with the static. You will dematerialize and cease to be.

Description
This majestic grove of undetermined acreage consists of non-anomalous and anomalous weeping trees shrouded in a heavy purple 'fog'. The temperature is a constant, cozy 70°F (~21.1°C) during the day and at night. Dim the lights. Light some candles to set the mood. The trees here draw close to intimately tangle their roots. The trees quiver in delight and release a burst of purple spores.
These spores are inhaled by wanderers and entities that traverse this space. The spores will go deep into your alveoli. These spores will then take root by projecting their roots through your alveoli to access your capillaries. They will rapidly begin to grow once their roots acquire a blood source. The growth process is 3 agonizing minutes.
Our passion is your pain. There is no avoiding these spores as they are everywhere. Exposure to our spores will result in you coughing up blood, struggling to breathe, pressure in the chest, cracking of bones and cartilage and seizing. Our young's roots will burst from the stomach to pull you to the ground so they can take root on the ground. 25% of the exposed will go into shock as our children erupt from the chest or the mouth.

This image, taken by wanderer N.G., features the 'Golden Spiral Staircase'. Wanderer N.G. was found dead near the bottom of the steps. It is presumed that they died of starvation.
Description
This photo of the rural landscape was found by Tuwile. The wanderer who took this photo cannot be confirmed or found.
The 'Golden Spiral Staircase' overlooks a rural landscape perpetually amidst a storm. The architectural style of these stairs is from the Baroque period. The length of these stairs has yet to be determined.
The rural landscape consists of distant trees and rows of undetermined crops. The sky constantly smells like rain. There is a daily 50% chance it will rain odd or anomalous substances such as needles, microbeads, blood, pomegranate juice, tears, neon water, almond water, liquid pain, acid, mercury, or liquid iron. The longer you are out on this staircase, the more likely you will be showered by something deadly. These stairs are not damaged by any of the anomalous substances. It is unknown who or what is maintaining these stairs. The temperature is a constant 55°F (12.8°C), despite a period of anomalous 'rainfall'. The storm can be brewing in the distance or right on top of you. Explorers have been killed by a lightning strike(s). Multiple category 5 Tornados will sweep through the area resulting in wanderers being blown off the stairs to fall to their death or sucked off the stairs to never be seen again. It is rumored that these twisters might be sentient, but this cannot be confirmed.
Explorers appear on these steps several undefine miles/kilometers up. These steps are influenced by a spatial and depth perception anomaly that prevents you from gauging how high up you are. Explorers will also appear facing in either direction, but that does not mean head in that direction. Explorers who head in the wrong direction will find themselves walking up or down these stairs for the remainder of their life. Once you head in the wrong direction, there is no correcting it. You could be walking these stairs for an undetermined amount of months, even if you are headed in the correct direction. You will die from thirst, hunger, or exposure if you did not bring enough or the correct supplies with you. You will also be fighting the 'urge' to turn back in the opposite direction. Turning around then turning back does not put you back on track even if by chance, you were headed in the right direction initially. These steps are influenced by an orientation anomaly that prevents you from going in the right direction once you head in the wrong one. There is no way of knowing if you are headed in the right direction.

This image, taken by wanderer A.I, features the 'Wooden Bridge'. They threw themselves off the bridge. It cannot be confirmed if they made it to 'Sea Foam'.
Description
The 'Wooden Bridge' is a rickety, wooden bridge suspended over a river of muggy liquid pain and is located in a non-anomalous rain forest. The time of day for this location is early in the afternoon. The temperature is a humid 98°F (~36.7°C). There is a 75% chance you will get caught out here in heavy rainfall consisting of liquid pain. The liquid pain in this environment can be absorbed into the skin. There are no entities in this level but your odds of survival all depend on making it to the other side of the bridge.
This bridge is subjugated to a depth perception anomaly that makes it impossible for you or any electronic devices to determine how long this bridge is. There is also a spatial anomaly that is increasing the length of the bridge to unknown distances. Explorers should not run across this bridge. The distance of this bridge increases with speed. Running across the bridge also increases the risk of the bridge collapsing. Like the 'Golden Spiral Staircase', you could be traversing it for several months. Not having the proper resources or enough resources to make the journey is what kills 85% of all travelers. It is also worth noting that you cannot touch the rope of this bridge with your bare hands. The rope on this bridge consists of Tetrodotoxin (TTX). Tread lightly. Several of the boards will suddenly fall out from under you. This bridge tends to sway erratically or rolls a full 180° throwing or dumping explorers off and into the river below. The ropes tend to break. There is a 70% chance the entire bridge will give out resulting in you falling in the river. Those who fall into the river are immobilize by the liquid pain and is swept away by violent currents. You also cannot swim to shore. It seems that rain forest cannot be interacted with.
Exits
Meeting a terrible end.
Making it across the bridge leads you to 'Rustic'.
I like a fighting spirit. Jumping off this bridge has a 50% chance of taking you to 'Sea Foam'.
'Sea Foam is an anomalous body of water of undetermined size. This environment has a light/dark cycle of 12:12. The temperature at the surface of this body of water is a constant 61°F (~16.7°C). The temperature and depth of the water are unknown as nothing can stay in this water without dissolving into sea form. There is also no land for you to swim to as the water dissolved those eons ago. There are no floating devices/equipment in this water as those things will be dissolved. You enter this place in the water with no place to go. If you brought an inflatable raft, this might give you some relief, but this will only prolong the inevitable. The raft will be dissolved by the water. The dissolving process has begun as you already had contact with the water. There is nothing you can do to reverse or stop the process. The transition into sea form is quick and painless. You lose solid composition and become sea form before dissolving completely into the water.

Time of day does not exist here. The temperature of this place is between 34°F - 53°F (~1.11°C - 11.7°C). There are no entities. You will fall for what seems like forever. You will fall for so long it will seem like you are floating. There is nothing here to disturb your ethereally, surreal descent... until you hit the ground at 4000mph (~6437.4km/hr). You will violently spatter onto a black marbled plain below this free fall. The good news is that you do not see the ground at all, and this atmosphere contains an analgesic agent. You will not feel a thing. Your death will be quick and painless.

This image of the 'Haunting Hymn' was taken by an unknown wanderer. This photo was also covered by large bloody fingerprints.
Description
'Haunting Hymn' is a dark forest shrouded in red fog. The environment is casted in a hellish scarlet hue. The time of day is perpetually a few hours before sunset. The temperature is a constant, muggy 81°F (~27.2°C). These woods reek of blood and is filled with the haunting song of the L'abandonné dement (Translation: The Forsaken Demented).
Tuwile's voice can be heard from every direction in these woods, and he is saying:
Do you not like the stirring song of my brethren? It is the haunting song of my people!
Yes...the thrilling, clicking, cursing, and hexing you hear is the haunting song of a Malveillant thirsty for blood....
If you hear the haunting song of the Malveillant, it is already too late. 'Haunting Hymn" is also an ominous, hunting song that is typically sung by Native Trackers, Trappers, and Hunters of Level -777. It is sung in these creatures' native tongue and cannot be deciphered by wanderers. Hearing the song elicits a strong flight or freeze response in any explorer that hears it. Their harmony is a layered hypnotizing hex. Their melody is layered with malicious intent. Their discordant pitch induces primordial fear in their prey. Their rhythm and beat within an undetermined range can spatter you into a fine mist. I would know I was a Native Hunter and Tracker once. ***Smells the air deeply. Clicks threateningly.*** You stink of fear. I can hear your heart pounding in your chest. I can hear the sweat dripping off you. I would advise you to not run.La panique nous excite!!!
Exits
There is a 20% chance you will get killed by the Malveillant's song.
There is a 75% chance you will get killed directly by the Malveillant horde.
There is a 5% chance these woods will claim you.
Seeing two glowing green orbs in the dark and red mist means you are already die. You did not feel a think as your head was separated from your body.

This image, taken by wanderer E.D., features disembodied Door #3. E.D.'s whereabouts are unknown.
Description
Level -369's Door #3 is an old peeling green door. This door is surrounded by 100 acres of woody fields. Upon entering these 100 acres, you will notice this spot is perpetually in the state of early evening. The sun here is black but yield white light. The temperature is constantly 62°F (~16.7°C). This place is deadly quiet. This eerie silence is interrupted by coughing and choking. No explorer can locate the source of the initial coughs but, if you linger in this space for more than 15 minutes, you will start coughing. Victims will cough and struggle to breathe until they perish from suffocation. There is an adverse respiratory agent in the air, but no one has confirmed what it is. Most people perish from suffocation within 2 - 4 minutes after the initial coughing fit. Once you find the door, entering through the door present in this space will take you to '[Under Construction]', 'Long Cliché Hallway + Stairs' and 'The Behavioral Suite'.
This image, taken by wanderer Q.T., features the pipes in space '[Under Construction]'. Q.T. was found frozen to death on a catwalk.
Description
This area beyond the door is an undetermined stretch of dimly lit pipes, corridors, and catwalks. These pipes are made of atypical materials (such as copper, cast iron, PVC, etc.) and atypical materials (such as crystalium, blue octagon, wood, glass, paper, bone, etc.) These pipes carry almond water tainted with liquid pain. The corridors and catwalks are convoluted and disorienting. The temperate of this environment is -17°F to 20°F. (~-27.2°C - -6.7°C). This place is infested with smilers, female death moths, mold, icicles and other unknown entities. There are claims that the pipes might be sentient, but this has not been confirmed. These pipes tend to resonant to produce a haunting sound. This sound produced by the pipes triggers anxiety, a strong fear response, and paranoia. These pipes also release steam that not only injury or kills explorers but to some sounds like whispers or taunts. Wanderers also have the sensation that the pipes are watching them. The pipes have it out for them. The pipes have made threats. Explorers are either claimed by hypothermia or lurking entities. It is not uncommon to stumble over a frozen corpse while exploring this environment.
Unique Entities of [Under Construction]: Icicles
Icicles are transparent and elongated entities that mimic the appearance of normal icicles. These entities can be found hanging upstairs down on pipes. These entities are group ambush predators. They wait for prey to get within a 5 foot (1.5 meters) distance of them before projecting themselves out to impale their victim. They will then inject their prey with an aggressive and potent variant of botulism to immobilize their prey. How prey is consumed cannot be confirmed. The only way to tell them apart from normal icicles is to attempt to melt them with heat or fire. These creatures are immune to fire so they will not melt like normal ice. It is not advised to attempt to 'melt' these entities and avoid any icicles in the environment.

Will this hallway loop back onto itself?
Answer:
P.T. (not associated with The Backrooms) executes this concept flawlessly but its use here is under consideration.
Will this hallway lead to an exit out of Level -369?
Answer:
You really do not know...do you?
If you do not have any more questions, this hallway will derive left and right. Either direction will take you further down the rabbit hole.

Description
The 'Orange Stairwell' is only 100 flights of descending stairs. Each flight of stairs consists of a landing and a set of 100 steps. This stairwell is well-lit by an unknown source and consists of wooden handrails painted orange. The walls are painted a nauseating bright orange. There are some hazards so included below are do's and don't's for this location.
Do's and Don't's
Do's
Proceed with caution.
Don't's
Make any noise while walking down these stairs. If you want to speak, whisper. The walls are listening.
Stay here too long. The steps will start to roll like a conveyor belt and draw you under them to crush you underneath them.
Touch the walls. The walls will be begin to close in around and crush you to death.
No-clip this space. You will be transported to the Door 1.1.1: 'The Source of All House Fires'.

Description
'Keep On the Sunny Side' is the second hallway you might traverse while heading down this rabbit hole. This simple yet elegant hallway is only 10.2ft (~3.1m) in length and consists of 4 paintings, 1 wall ornament, a rug, 3 doors (that is not always present), and disembodied sobbing. This hall is well-lit and painted a cheerful tangerine despite the desperate cries for help and pleads for this to stop. You also might hear the sounds of someone getting beaten to death overlayed with scratching. Press your ear against the right wall to hear someone drowning. Press your ear against the left wall to hear the cracking and crushing of bones and helpless shrills of air being forced out someone's lungs. Press your ear against the front wall to hear the soothing and hypnotizing sound of pink static and the crumbling of reality and the self.
The sounds of human suffering are music to my ears. You creatures always think the most horrible things are the most obvious, but that is why you are still trapped here. You want the exit to be obvious. When one is suffering, the end to it something is never clear or brief. There are some cases where the end is death, and that is only the peace you will be granted.C'est vrai.Sometimes there is no happy ending. There are no heroes to save you. There is no saving yourself. There is only acceptance. Fret not... this place will only punish you if you stop smiling and do not maintain a positive outlook.
'Keep on the Sunny Side' also is subjugated to a spatial anomaly present in this space that makes the hallway longer than it is measured. This spatial anomaly also influences the presence or absence of these 3 doors and where these doors are in space. These doors have been known to move several yards away or vanish completely. This spatial anomaly is also being filled with a potent and crippling depressive agent. You will experience negative mood changes, agitation/irritability, restlessness, fatigue, impaired motivation, lack of concentration, slowness in activity, and self-terminating thoughts and attempts. This agent amplifies the sound of human suffering present in this space. There is nothing you can consume, take or use that will reverse this. 20% of the exposed will successfully self-terminate. 75% will lose the motivation to continue and die in this hallway. 5% will find the willpower to exit one of three doors present in this hallway.

Description
'Honey, I am Home' is a bottom landing consisting of another set of stairs going up, another unknown hallway, a door that leads to an unknown residency space, and a yellow front door. The front door is surrounded by a box of useless junk and two potted plants.
Going upstairs, down the hallway, or into the unknown residency space means you just made yourself home. No one who has ever gone further into the house has ever made it back. It is assumed those people still live here, but there are no supplies here, and there have not been any reports of colonies or outposts being established here... only disembodied screams.
Those who stay by the door will get greeted and killed by an unknown male entity in a Gray Flannel Suit. Those who attempt to escape out the house will be greeted at the door by the suit-wearing entity then killed. You are an intruder, after all. Attack this entity, and he will consume you. He did go to work all day and just wanted to come to supper. You got in the way of that.

'Mellow Yellow' is the third hallway you might traverse while heading down this rabbit hole. This adorable yellow hallway is only 9.3ft (~2.8m) in length and consists of a cabinet, 1 closet, 2 side doors, and 1 front door. You can hear classical music playing delicately in the background. You creatures assume certain colors mean things when it comes to danger. Yellow usually means proceed with caution. So... below, I included a list of do's and don't's to help you navigate your way through this hallway.
Do's and Don't's
Do's
Turn around if you hear the following, "Welcome home." You will be greeted by a female Malveillant dressed in 50's attire and make-up. (Kim's silly idea...not mine.) Her name is Trista. She will only kill you if you do not follow the rules, attack her, get too close to her, or she is set off. Ignore her fidgeting. She is mentally disturbed and sipped a little cashew water by accident.
Knock on the closet or doors before entering. The closet or doors will not open unless you knock.
Run if you hear Trista scream, "GET OUT!!" It is unknown what sets her off. She decided to kill you. RUN!! Yes! The hallway will extend out taking the closet and doors with it as you proceed to run away. Get to the closet or one of those doors before she gets you.
Speak to Trista. Be polite. Be gentle. That decreases the likelihood of her snapping and killing you.
Don't's
Run unless there is a rule that says you should. You will attract the attention of Trista. Running also extends the length of the hallway.
Get too close to Trista. She likes the hearts of wayward wanderers. She will rip yours from your chest by unknown means.
Go looking for Trista. She wants her space, and disturbing her will set off.
Attempt to no-clip any randomly locked door. No-clipping these doors will result in you falling into The Void.
Go out The Front Door.

Going through the closet has a 5% chance of sending you to The Void, a 15% chance of sending you to 'Black Static', a 20% chance to sending you to the 'Empty Closet', a 20% chance you will be sent to the 'Patient Evergreen', there is a 60% chance this door will be randomly locked.
Going through side door #1 has a 20% chance of being randomly locked and 80% of taking you to 'Blue is a Calming Color'.
Going through side door #2 has a 20% chance of being randomly locked and 80% of taking you 'Ultra Violet λ'.
You will be flashed incinerated by a unknown source if you leave through the front door.
This image taken by wanderer T.J shows the location of the 'Patient Evergreen'. They made it through this location and were sent to the 'Open Field Test'.
Description
'Patient Evergreen' is the fourth hallway you might traverse heading down this rabbit hole. This space is an arched, wooden garden trellis of only 50ft (~15.2m) in length and is covered in undefined predatory vines. The ground is covered in gravel. The time of day is perpetually noon. The sky is overcast. This space is a quiet place as to not arouse the vines. Most explorers can get past these vines as long as they do not attempt to disturb them or make any noise. You made it this far... why spoil it now. Disturbing the vines will result in the vines launching themselves at you to coil around your person. You put up a fight, and they will constrict tighter until they break your bones and crush you to death. Do not try to cut or break their hold on you. These vines cannot be broken, and they will project poisonous barbs into you consisting of a deadly amount of cyanide. Do not struggle! There is a 75% chance they will release you and recoil back onto the trellis.
Exits
If you get through this location without disturbing the vines there is a 10% chance you will be sent to the 'Open Field Test', a 15% chance your will be sent to the 'Spiraled Pathway' and a 75% chance you will be sent back to the nameless surreal forest.
This image was taken by wanderer T.J. They survived 3 days of evading the Kettles and were transported to the 'The Behavioral Suite'.
Description
'Open Field Test' is a grassy open field surrounded by a perfectly circular ring of trees. You cannot interact or take cover amongst the tree line. This environment is constantly sunny. The time of day is unknown as this environment is not solar-dependent. Temperature is ambient. The 'Open Field Test' is an experimental space of the 'The Behavioral Suite'. Well...technically this whole place is, but do not trouble yourself with that knowledge. This location was designed to measure locomotor activity, anxiety, and willingness to explore. In theory, more anxious creatures will move less and stay out of the middle to avoid predation. If they must go into the center, they will sprint across to avoid predation. Its ability to accurately assess anxiety is debatable, but that is where field-dwelling Kettles come in.
Again, Kettles are cloaking bird-like entities that circle above their prey. You will not be able to see them. You will know of their presence by seeing their wheeling shadow projected onto the ground. 'Open Field Test' typically uses predator odor or another stressor to elicit fear. Here these birds will do.
For this 'test', you must survive 3 days evading these birds. Released into this environment is a flock of 4000 of these Albatross size predators. As long as you keep moving, you will not be predated.

The rabbit hole of Level -369 is tedious... is it not?
Getting lost down here is a death sentence... or is it?
Do not bother yourself with the truth now...
The 'spiraled pathway' is a low laying gravel and stone maze designed for walking meditation. This pathway is located in a remote desert. The temperature can get between 78°F - 91°F(~-25.6°C - -31.8°C). The time of day is constantly mid-morning and this area is always sunny. The pathway is only a day's walk long but this pathway can be extended by anomalous means.
Qu'est-ce qui ne va pas?
A little toxic positivity never bothered you creatures up until now. This place is nothing like 'Keep on the Sunny Side' as some wanderers have learned. Here you get to do a little walking meditation. Walking and meditation has been scientifically proven to contribute to ones overall health and wellbeing.

Start walking and keep walking.
Stay within the graveled line set for this pathway. You step over the lines and this walkway will disappear and be replaced with a infinite desert for you to wanderer in. Ne vous inquiétez pas!The flock of Kettles and hordes of desert Hounds will keep you company.
Don't's
Stop once you start walking. For every time you stop, another day's walk will be added to this pathway.
Disturb the gravel lines. You will no-clip the pebbles and fall into The Void.
This environment consists of potent sedative and hallucinogenic agents to keep up your morale. These agents make it difficult, if not impossible, to traverse the spiral pathway as intended. Most wanderers perish because they overdose on the atmosphere, stumble off the pathway, and went wayward in the desert, or accidentally no-clip the gravel line and fall into The Void.

'Blue is a Calming Color' is the fifth hallway you might traverse heading down this rabbit hole. This hallway is a plain, light blue maintenance hallway consisting of handrails, fluorescent lights, and an overhead sign that reads "Please Do Not Enter". The point you can turn back safely is where you see this sign. Once you pass this sign, you cannot go back. Turning back after you passed this sign triggers an infinite looping spatial anomaly trapping you in this hallway forever.
Decide now if you wish to continue.
'Blue is a Calming Color' is of variable length ranging from a distance of 20mi - 2000mi (32.2km - 3218.7km) long. This hallway is initially 20°F before it drops 10° for every five miles you traverse. This environment consists of diphenhydramine-like agents that cause fatigue, dizziness, and blurred vision that cannot be treated. Explorers who come unprepared for this trek will die from hypothermia. Explorers who came prepared with adequate cold survivor gear will fare better, assuming their trek is not long.
Exits

Your trip was short and you had adequate cold survivor gear. You survived and was transported to the 'Operant Box'.
This image was captured by Kritanta. He has assessed the experimental progress of four victims inside these operant boxes.
Description
The 'Operant Box' is technically a laboratory apparatus designed to assess behavioral conditioning in creatures. Inside these boxes (not shown for ethical reasons) is the following:
A light to serve as the visual cue
A speaker that will emit a tone to serve as the audio cue
A lever one must press to either remove a stimulus or gain a stimulus Feature disabled.
An electric grid (for punishment)
I will not bore our victims with the dirty details. All our victims need to know is that we stripped them down to nothing so they can perfectly model helpless lab rodents. Below are the 2 phases our subjects must endure.
Phase 1: Conditioning response: The light will be on for the duration of the protocol. When they hear the tone, they will receive 50V of an inescapable shock for 30 seconds. These controlled shocking sessions will inhumanely continue with an increase of 5V per session until that subject dies or we see a freeze response. When freezing is achieved, we will move on to Phase 2.
Phase 2: Extinction of conditioned response: The light will be on for the duration of the protocol. When they hear the tone, we expect to see the freezing response without a controlled shock. The tone will be played again in several sessions until the subject's freeze response ceases.
F.Y.I. Do not fake the freeze response. I will know. I also tend to give extra shocks because I like human suffering.
If you survive the session, you will be asked, "What is the protocol to breaking hypnosis?" You will not be punished for answering incorrectly. You deserve some positive reinforcement for making it this far,pauvre imbécile!!

Description
'Ultra Violet λ' is the sixth hallway you might traverse heading down this rabbit hole. This hallway is an intensely violet hallway consisting of multiple locked doors and round, white ceiling lights. I know you are sick of going to some hallway that might have some strange property in it that might 'kill' you, but you are in The Backrooms, so this is par for the course. The good news is you are facing the 'reality' of this situation. The road toward recovery first starts with acceptance. You are embracing the chaos, but our assessments are not complete, and you might not 'live' through this.
Do not let those air quotes trouble you.
'Ultra Violet λ' is also an ambient environment that plays sound intensities between 120dB - 200dB at a frequency between 0.25Hz - 8Hz. Short-term exposure to ~175Hz between 0.5Hz - 8hz can damage your joints, while long-term exposure can cause blindness and GI issues. Your level of denial concerning the situation you are in will determine how long you will feel this sound. Yes! Feel! Your creatures cannot hear anything below 20Hz, but you can feel the sound if the dB is high enough. I will mention here that sound waves below 16Hz will elicit fear, anxiety, dizziness, drooling, vomiting, headache, fatigue, impaired vision, and cardiac arrhythmia. Finally, sound intensities above 120dB will impair concentration and focus, and anything above 180dB can rupture your alveoli.
You are not human if you can escape any horrors of The Backrooms by anomalous means.
You are an entity.
You are a monster like me!
We are not interested in studying freaks of nature. There is nothing special about gods, supernatural beings, or mythic creatures. No disrespect to my brother, Javaraya, but what challenges are you really overcoming if you can snap your fingers and it is all over.
That is where the intrigue in your species lies...
We are here to assess the human condition. You beings are fundamentally flawed but in your imperfections and limitations... you have an enduring spirit.
That I can respect...!
Exits
65% of people 'die' from soundwave exposure in this hallway because the environment on average produces sound at 200dB at 0.5Hz.
35% of people 'embrace the chaos' and survived soundwave exposure to exit the hallway into 'The Behavioral Suite'.

Description
The 'Red Walls and Fluorescent Bulbs' is only 12 flights of descending stairs. Each flight of stairs consists of a landing and a set of 12 steps. This stairwell consists of metal handrails and equally spaced fluorescent lights positioned below the handrail. The walls are painted a vivid scarlet. There are some hazards so included below are do's and don't's for this location.
Do's and Don't's
Do's
Keep walking down the stairs.
Ignore any disembodied voices telling you to run. Running down these steps will cause you to no-clip the steps or landing and you will fall into The Void.
Keep in mind that there are no other exits minus the one in you head.
Don't's
Turn back. It is following you now. You do not want to see it. You see it. You die.
Touch the metal handrailing. There is a 97% chance that making contact with this handrail will get you electrocuted.
Look directly at the fluorescent lights. There is a 100% chances these bulbs will flash blind you. 80% of the exposed will be permanently blinded.
Try to no-clip the walls. The walls are the color they are for a reason.
Exits
If you survive the trip down and you followed all the rules, you will exit into 'Dead End'.
This image was found by wanderer J.C. who later became an Insanity.
Description
'Dead End' is a yellow and black scale environment of rural countryside with a paved road going through it. The size of this rural space is undetermined. The road is surrounded by some trees, rolling hills and fields, and a diamond-shaped sign marked 'Dead End'. In the distance, you can see a barn and some residencies. This place is perpetually in the state of noon. The temperature is constantly 80°F (~26.7°C).
The stairwell that leads you down here is gone. There is no way for you to no-clip out of here. There are no 'exits'. You are trapped down here. This is your new home. Worry not... you are not alone. You will have insanities, and 'The Hills Have Eyes' to keep you company assuming they do not kill you first
Unique Entities of 'Dead End': The Hills Have Eyes
These entities populate every hill of this rural environment. They are always watching you. They are always staring at you. They are always lurking just outside of your periphery. You will never become desensitized to the eyes looking constantly at you from somewhere amongst those hills. You will always have the feeling one of them or all of them will attack you. Sleeping will be impossible. You will sense that something is near you or watching you as you sleep. You never quite see them, but you know they are there. You will develop insomnia, anxiety, and paranoia, waiting for them to come and get you. What happens to you when they finally decide to predate you is unknown. 80% of all explorers will be claimed by 'The Hills Have Eyes' while the other 20% will have a break in reality and become Insanities.

Description
Level -369 (a.k.a The Behavioral Suite) is rumored to be the following:
An unethical research experiment.
A fever dream inside of a nightmare.
A lie inside of another lie.
A pocket dimension inside of an alternate reality.
Hypnosis inside of an hallucination.
Everything, something and nothing at all.
Are you sick of hearing our disembodied voices?
Not the conclusion you were hoping for?
The closure is only given to the ones who want to see the truth, not for the ones who want to make up their own truth.
If you were hoping you were going to be the hero of this story...write your own. There are no heroes here, only the psychologically disturbed and confused.
The human condition always intrigues me despite some of your behaviors being more of a detriment to you than the situation at hand. Why give you any closure? Why spell out the conclusion for you? You, creatures, have the tendency to make up whatever to cope with whatever harsh reality you must face. I rather you believe whatever you want... you are easier to manipulate that way.
Exits
SNAP!
Colonies and Outposts: Nameless Surreal Forest
Due to the nature of the surreal forest of Level -369, you cannot establish a colony or outpost here.
Entrances and Exits: Nameless Surreal Forest
Entrances
50% of wanderers do not come willingly.
30% of wanderers cannot recall their point of entry.
20% of wanderers got lost in Level 6 and found their way here.
Exits
There are no exits in the 'nameless' surreal forest. Any attempts to bypass the lack of exits in this space via no clip will result in you falling into The Void.
Any exits that are added to this space will disappear under mysterious circumstances and any explorers who went through those false exits fell into The Void.
Failure to find and access the disembodied doors will result in the metabolic agent in these woods to cause you to waste and die. To be fair, dying is an exit.
What happens to you if you decide to bypass the lack of exits in the 'nameless' surreal forest by no-clipping the disembodied doors is only known by Dearil.
The only exit that exist for this space is the one in your head. To be fair, having a mental breakdown is your subconscious forcing you to mentally exit the situation.
Warning!
Interacting with the wrong thing anywhere on this 'level' will loop you back to the nameless surreal forest.
