Description
Level 491 is the 492nd level of the Backrooms. It appears to be a ventilation duct that goes on forever, with different panels leading to other levels of the backrooms, with a panel occuring every ████ miles. In certain parts of the level, there are cube rooms for maintenance, these are extremely common habitats, and often contain bottles of almond water. Entities are common to run into, such as hounds, small death-moths, skin-stealers, and adult facelings. It is extremely easy to lose your sanity while traversing Level 491, you WILL need almond water and food. It is possible to exit this level, although hard, as the vent panels will not come off easily.
