Level 1 is the second layer of the Backrooms. It is roughly the same as Level 0, with a few major differences.

Description

Exact descriptions of Level 1 vary from person to person, some report to have seen gigantic "biomes" of terrain, while others have reported having seen huge expanses of grimy concrete filled with a low-flying fog. It seems that Level 1 is completely random, or it appears different from person to person.

However, the most common "theme" in Level 1 is similar to the mono-yellow design of Level 0. The key differences are concrete walls instead of wallpaper, tile floors instead of carpet, and dimmer fluorescent lights. Entities typically lurk at or above Level 1. Known entities on Level 1 include Dullers, adult Facelings, Hounds, and Skin-Stealers.

There are multiple ways of reaching Level 1. Like other levels, it can be reached randomly with stairs, elevators, and hallways, and one also has a small chance of landing here when no-clipping into the Backrooms. In addition, at any point, there's a chance the lights will begin to flicker on and off. Eventually the lights will turn off for minutes to hours at a time. With no lights, this level becomes very dangerous, so bring a light source if you're exploring.

Colonies and Outposts

There are currently 3 known colonies and outposts in Level 1. It should be noted that attempting to meet up with these colonies/outposts will prove extremely difficult, as the Backrooms stretch out for millions of miles.

The Chaos Republic

  • The largest outpost in Level 1.
  • Consists of mainly young adults.
  • Quite hostile, and not open for trading

Exploration Alpha

  • Group mostly comprised of older people outcasted from "The Chaos Republic".
  • Hellbent on escaping Level 1 .
  • Mental health is large problem amongst the group.
  • Normally friendly and open for trading, although mental health (obviously) does affect this.

Sanctuary

  • Hidden behind a false wall roughly 98m southeast from the "exit"
  • Smallest outpost in Level 1
  • Features drawings from an unknown entity called "Carver"
  • No sightings of "Carver" have been reported as of September 28, 2019

Leaving Level 1

You can leave Level 1 by simply continuing to explore the Backrooms. Level 1 usually leads to Level 2 or back to Level 0.
