Level 192 is the 193rd level of the Backrooms.

A supposed image of Level 192.

Description

Level 192 is an extensive mazelike structure, composed entirely of an amorphous rotating mass of steel chains. The space one can traverse in the level is dictated purely by the shape of the chains in each area at a given time, with most spaces being tight, claustrophobic, and occasionally too small for one to properly fit through.

The mass of chains in Level 192 rotates clockwise at an approximate speed of seven RPM (revolutions per minute), enough for one to walk or crawl through the tunnels without significant difficulty. It is imperative, however, that one maintains a steady pace when traveling through the passages of the level; standing or lying still can cause a loss of balance as a result of the rotation, which can potentially result in injuries caused by falling on the moving chains.

The mechanism by which the chains rotate is currently unknown; all attempts at parting, sawing, or breaking the links have yielded no result. It appears that the only things that can be found under the first layer of chains are, unsurprisingly, more chains. No solid structures, including walls or floors, have been discovered behind them thus far; it simply appears as though the level is solely composed of the chains. It is worthwhile to note that the level's temperature remains at a humid 30° C (86° F), which renders the level survivable, albeit uncomfortably warm. The source of the temperature has not been discovered thus far.

Wanderers who have spent a substantial amount of time in Level 192 have reported that there must be other, undiscovered elements within the level. Whilst the sound of metallic grinding is commonplace, more uncanny sounds, such as distant machinery and cogs grinding, have also been reported. The origin of these sounds is unknown, but their existence only strengthens the aforementioned theory of there being more to be discovered.

Colonies and Outposts

Due to the claustrophobic and ranging conditions of Level 192, colonies and outposts are considered infeasible to create, though some undiscovered colonies are thought to exist.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

  • One can enter Level 192 by chance via the door in Level 332.
  • Other entrances to Level 192 have been theorized to exist in Level 3 and Level 47.

Exits

Constant exits are difficult to come across in this level; however, one has been discovered thus far:

Recovered Log

The following is a one-to-one transcript of a log discovered in Level 192, written by an unknown wanderer.


I stumble through these chained halls unbounded,

For I am but a prisoner of Hell;

Chained walls contain me whilst I remain free.

My initial stumble changed to a glide,

Ambulating through these shaped corridors

became but facile as I acclimate

to the Chained surfaces surrounding me.

The infrequent one catches on my foot

But I pay no mind; its fault it is not.


My ultimate destination unknown,

I amble on, beseeching for the Chains

to part and make a way for an exit.

However, I ken this may be futile.

Wherefore am I hoping to reach an end?

What happens may just be extraneous,

As am I not already in Hell now?

Am I the one imprisoned; or rather,

Are the Chains confined, and I the warden?
