Level 283 is the 284th level of the backrooms.
The image, captured by a wanderer, shows the west shore of level 283.
Description: Level 283 is a small island, roughly 8 square kilometres in area. The area is scattered with palm trees and various shrubs, as well as grass. The northern area of the island ends with a cliff of roughly 20 metres in height, the rest of the island is ringed with pristine beaches. There are also several small farms with various vegetables and fruits growing on the trees constantly. The seas around the island are plentiful with various forms of harmless frontrooms fish. These include Cod, Salmon, Bass and Mackerel. Larger fish and even some sharks have been seen but they are not aggressive.
In the level time passes normally, however the star in the sky never moves, leaving the level in a constant state of evening. The sea is always calm and inviting and hostile entities don’t exist here. The whole island is generally calm and serene. It is quite common for people to spend months or even years on this level.
Entities:
The only entities on the level are known as “livestock” by the locals, they resemble animals in the frontrooms, but require no feeding in order to remain healthy, this makes them excellent sources of meat. Currently, there are 15 chickens, 20 sheep, 12 cows and 6 pigs. They are kept in pens and cages constructed by wanderers.
Colonies:
There is only a single colony on the island.
New Amsterdam: Population: 80-90
The founders were originally Dutch, hence the name. They are open to trading and will gladly accept anyone into the colony if they wish to stay. The colony is ruled through direct democracy with everyone being given equal input in whatever the colony does. The people of the colony regularly leave on scavenging missions to find materials unavailable on the island.
The colony has developed many things using the island’s resources as well as other resources from the backrooms. These include Various Boats, a working barbeque, traps, working electrical and internet services and many other things.
Entrances:
- A door with an island symbol can be found on level 0, entering brings you here.
- There is a theoretical entrance in level 13 by no-clipping through a specific door.
- The most reliable way to enter is via level 1034, entering a restaurant themed room and no clipping into the ceiling will take you here with no risk of the Void.
Exits:
sailing out 15 kilometres away from the island will teleport you to level 14. The boat is returned to the island via shifting water currents.
