Level 438 is the 439th Level of the Backrooms.

Description

A Picture taken in Level 438.

Level 438 is an anomalous series of staircases, painted a bleach white. Railing exists both on top of, and on the bottom of the stairways and they curve in unnatural ways. The staircases lead up, before entering massive gates leading down into another series of staircases. The ceiling is an approximated 8,000 kilometers up, however the level itself is seemingly infinitely tall. Occasionally, instead of more staircases stairways may lead to a room. These rooms have doors on most of their surfaces, and a table in the middle of them with a partially finished meal. Doors may lead one to another room, a dead end, or another staircase. The staircase goes directly down into the Void, meshing with it and distorting the initial level as one goes further and further down. Entities can be found in the level, but are more common within the rooms. Climbing to the ceiling without going through any gateways through a mixture of parkour and luck can allow one to reach a trapdoor, transporting you to a random safe level.

Another weird aspect is that, every platform and staircase has its own gravity. So one person could theoretically walk on one side of a staircase, and at the same time another person could walk at the other side of the exact same staircase.

Most laws of physics don't apply to this Level, making it very unstable.

Entities

There is also a very special entity which roams the Level, known as...

Snorkels

A Snorkel on a Platform

These giant Snails are often found traversing the Level by switching from gravity to gravity.

They are about as large as an average human, and are native to Level 438. They are carnivorous, and eat Wanderers unfortunate enough to cross their path. They do this by jumping high enough off a platform to get to another gravity, and they traverse the Level this way. Then, when a Wanderer is in reach, they bounce and crash onto the Wanderer, and extrude an acidic slime from underneath them, and start to digest the Wanderer with help of the Slime.

They also seem to be the ONLY things not black or white in the entire Level.

Exit

  • Reach the top and enter the trapdoor to teleport you to a random safe level
