The photograph of Level 363 taken from a distance

Level 363, also known as "The Town of Elmore", is the 364th level of the Backrooms. Level 363 appears to be a near-perfect replica of Elmore, California, United States, a fictional town featured as the primary setting of a popular animated cartoon series from Cartoon Network, The Amazing World of Gumball. Though Level 363 generally functions like a normal city that one could easily expect, Level 363 is unique in that everything in the city has the potential to come to life at any random times.

Description

The aerial view of Level 363's neighborhoods

Level 363 appears to be a moderately-sized town populated with residential areas consisting of neighborhoods filled with suburban houses, apartments, office buildings, hotels, hospitals, police departments, fire departments, motels, schools, train stations, and other additions found in the average American city. Level 363 also features several factories, fast-food restaurants, parks, shopping malls and other department stores, gas stations, soccer stadiums, metro stations and other landmarks. There are multiple nuclear power plants throughout Level 363, which seemed to be operational, giving most of the town a source of electricity. Apparently, to access the Level 363's school building, Elmore Junior High, one must bypass an incomplete expressway to get through.

Similar to other minor metropolitans in the United States, Level 363 has its own financial district, park districts, residential districts, and an interstate highway running through it. Strangely enough, Level 363 operates in a fashion to what one would expect from an autonomous nation. The level has its own currency, the Elmore Dollar, its own airline, various large attractions and amenities which would be expected from a larger city, and an exceedingly large and glamorous bank bearing the town's name. Geographically wise, the region throughout Level 363 is surrounded by huge bodies of water, which requires a very large bridge to cross, and is completely near-identical to Vallejo, California, while the Elmore Junior High, and certain buildings are primarily based around San Francisco in terms of structure.

The population of Level 363 is said to be at least 20,000, with the residents being the mysterious type of Entities that were capable of fully replicating the entire appearance, voice, memories, and personalities of the original inhabitants of Elmore from the show it mostly based on. The population size indicates that Level 363 is an equivalent of a somewhat large town or small city in the USA. This is rather unusual, considering the fact about the presence of high-rise office towers found throughout Level 363, which are usually only in major cities.

Level 363 has an anomalous property of causing any surrounding objects within the location to come alive and acquire a significantly human-level intelligence due to their anthropomorphism. Most of the entities residing in Level 363 vary in physical appearance and species; some are two-dimensional, some are CGI, some are stop motion-style, some are literally paper cutouts, and there's even a couple people that are in some way live-action (one entity is a chin face, for example), etc. The buildings throughout the city are commonly shown to be realistic live-action photographs of a building with some alterations added in CGI, while vehicles and objects may be CGI or two-dimensional.

Colonies and Outposts

Elmore Peacekeepers

  • An organization supposedly composed of the surviving military forces and first-responding units in the United States of America, including the National Guard, firefighters, police officers, civil volunteers, and members of other civil services, who are trapped inside the Backrooms through accidental no-clipping and band together to form a peacekeeping faction within the Elmore community.
  • Although most of the personnel are overworked and possessed meager resources, they work together to enforce the sense of law and order within Level 363 while cooperating alongside the anthropomorphic Entities willingly.
  • They are responsible for guarding and maintaining several important locations throughout Elmore. Their headquarters is located in the city hall, where they serve as the Mayor's bodyguards and agents.
  • Consistently neutral. However, most of it's personnel are friendly unless getting provoked by some Wanderer, which they do not tolerate.
  • Willing to trade any weapons, items and equipment to anyone exploring Level 363, including Almond Water.

The Church of The Void

  • A cult-like, fanatical organization known for worshipping an alternate dimension located within the outskirts of the Backrooms known as The Void, where characters and objects from the world, particularly from Level 363, are erased from the world where it was originally created, be it coming from the Backrooms, the Earth, or from the multiverse, due to being "mistakes" and thus becoming completely forgotten.
  • Their overarching common goal seems to primarily be spreading the corrupting and destructive influence of The Void through causing death, despair, and destruction wherever they go. They are generally considered to be the Elmore Peacekeepers' worst enemies.
  • The organization itself is led by an entity and an inhabitant of Level 363 known as Rob, one of Elmore's biggest and the most deadliest threat.
  • Extremely hostile, dangerous, and indiscriminately aggressive to everybody. Will not tolerate anybody infiltrating their base of operations.
  • Known for brainwashing any nearby inhabitants they come across using the power of The Void's corruption, causing them to fully become mind-controlled slaves that work and toil for the organization.

The Backroom Colonists

  • Usually used to teleport people to random levels to find stuff.
  • Mostly friendly or neutral.

Facelings and Humans United Against Partygoers

  • have military guarding the level.
  • main base is located in Level 1045.
  • their base is located anywhere downtown in this level.
  • kills any sights of partygoers.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

  • Sometimes, while wandering around Level 0 to 10, you'll may discover a television screen on the wall, which is completely filled with static. Touching the screen will automatically take you to Level 363.
  • During your journey throughout Level 153, find and uncover a cardboard box with the words "Elmore" on it. Opening the box will suck you up inside and teleports you immediately to Level 363.
  • When stumbling upon across something unusual in any city-related level in the backrooms, you will have the urge to touch it, no matter what, upon touching it, you will be transported to this level inside the town's office lobby called "Chanax Corp".

Exits

  • It is possible for one to accidentally discover and force the fold wide open to form a portal within the background of the level. This portal will suck up anything that is near it, and it works both ways, but it will begin to shrink over time and eventually close back up. When you decided to enter the portal, it will teleport you to a random level immediately.
  • entering the town's mall and going into the basement by going down a specified set of stairs, and then going up, will take you to Level 33, this method is not so dangerous but be advised, as this basement is infested with smilers at night.
  • breaking a pipe in the parking lot will take you to either Level 2, Level 7.
  • Navigating deep into The Void will take you to Level 404.
  • breaking the 4th wall will send you to either Level 107 or the real world, making you appearing in any random tv of your house.
