Level 197 is the 198th level of the Backrooms.
Description
A bathroom in Level 197. Photographer found dead after squished to death.
Level 197 appears to be a single modern hallway with many doors on each side. Every door leads to a bathroom, furnished with decorations, paintings, and bathroom supplies. Often, you may find sinks that spew almond water, thus a good level to stock up on some. There are windows in the bathrooms which if entered, will lead to Level 9, and the bathroom you jumped from will disappear, along with the rest of the level. It is also always daytime, so all windows will show light coming from them. This means it is not necessary to bring a light source, or light up the halls and bathrooms. On the bad side, multiple entities will spawn in the hallways and continue to roam the halls until they find an explorer, in the bathroom or not. After being chased by an entity, multiple entities may pick up a sort of "stench" leading to you, meaning entities technically multiply if you run into one. It is very bad if you do encounter an entity, as the hallway is small and suppressed. After spending around 10 days in this level, the hallway and all the bathrooms will begin shrinking, until it suffocates you, unless you escape through a window or the exit. This level will not age in appearance.
Colonies and Outposts
Colonies and Outposts on this level are impossible, as the level gets smaller after ten days has been spent.
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
To enter, you need to enter the correct door in Level 959. This level is deemed very hard to enter, as the doors in that level may also be traps or lead to other levels. This is the only confirmed entrance to this level as of right now.
Exits
To exit, either go through a window in one of the bathrooms to enter Level 9, or find the exit door at the end of the hallway to enter Level =, and then complete the "test" in Level = to continue to Level 198. This is the only way to enter Level 198.
