Level 221 "Dark Doorways"

Level 221 is the 222nd level of the Backrooms.

Survival Class: 3

Unsafe

Unsecure

Medium Entity Count

Main Danger: Dark Doorways

Description

Level 221 is very similar to Level 0 in appearance, but it has a few minor differences that distinguish it from Level 0. There are more entities, the floor is concrete, and oxygen can cut off in random areas. The fluorescent light make no noise, and are considered traps and will transport you to Level -0. The most dangerous thing in this level are doorways with pitch black darkness of the other side of them. Depending on how far you wandered away from your entry point, dangerous entities will come out of them. They will either slowly spaghettifyyou like a blackhole and kill you, or act as portals to any Class 5 level (the location is not predetermined, if you encounter the exact same portal it will change the level you are sent to) or Level 222.

Entry Point

Identical to Level 0, no entities are to be seen here.

A Few Yards In

Dark doorways will start to appear, as well as entities.

5 Miles In

Entities will come out of the doorways.

20 Miles In

Tears in wallpaper will be visible, dark doorways will become portals

50 Miles In

Dark doorways will try to suck you into them.

120 Miles In

Entities will drastically increase

500 Miles In

Pipes and vents will appear, oxygen cuts happen more often than not and holes in the floor can be seen that will slowly kill you via oxygen deprivation if you happen to fall in (their length is seemingly infinite, it is impossible to die from hitting the ground).

1,100 Miles In

The heat will reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit in most areas. At this temperature, you will start to suffer because of the immense heat. In most cases, it is likely that you will suffer a heat stroke and die due to the heat.

2,000 Miles In

1 in 2 of every doorway will be a dark doorway at this point in the level, and it is recommended to not go anywhere near them (preferably no less than 3 feet away from the entry point of the dark doorways).

5,000 Miles In

The fluorescent lights will shut off. It is currently unknown what happens next, although it is believed that at a certain point the level teleports you to a random level between Levels 0-300.

Colonies & Outposts

There are no known colonies or outposts on this level.

Entrances & Exits

Entrances

The only way to enter is to be transported here by the Stair Master in Level 219.

Exits

Enter a dark doorway and be transported to a Class 5 level or Level 222, or crawl through the vents and end up in Level 2.

Alternatively, travel into the deepest sections of this level to be randomly teleported into any of the first 301 levels of the Backrooms.
