Description

Level 553 is the 554th level of the Backrooms. Level 553 is a house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 garages, 1 kitchen and an unfinished backyard swimming pool. Due to the level containing/storing no furniture, the purposes of these rooms are not clear and vague. The house's structure is made from white Asparagha wood, and its base floor structure is finished with Suburban-style wood planks. The floors are mostly carpeted with crimson fur, and the living room has a A-shaped asbestos-covered roof, finished with a burned-out coal fireplace; with 1 hallway to the left leading to rooms, with a closet at the end of it. The kitchen is wallpapered with pink Art-Nouveau patterns, with a mini chandelier above the roof.

North of the kitchen is the presumably the 2nd living room, with a hazy white-bordered window. To the right of the 2nd living room is the staircase, which will lead to the basement. The basement is extremely hazardous with toxic asbestos and gas. A mask is highly recommended when venturing inside. The 'bedrooms' are painted with thin-oily substance like paint, including greens, blues, and whites. There is also an eel tank inside the basement, containing 3, long white eels whom appear to be immune to the toxic gases. A scoreful of burnt spoons can be found littered across the carpet, along a variety of other litter including soiled cotton swabs, pieces of wrapping paper and scorched bottles. As of now there is no explanation as to why there they are here. Scientists have identified the house to be built in the late 60s to the early 70s from carbon dating's of the wood structure.

Special Properties

The levels holds many special and unknown properties. Firstly, if one attempts to look outside the windows, their eyes will puff and redden, causing them to move away. This is probably a defensive mechanism in order to discourage the wanderer from looking outside of the house. However taking a photo in a distance approximately a meter away will show the outside. These defensive mechanisms also apply to outside doors, vents, pipes, and the garage door (excluding the backyard porch door); which when one attempts to break down them, they will suddenly become indestructible, and any attempts to flame them will cause the fire to extinguish immediately. The only definite way to access the outside is the backyard porch door, which will become unlocked during a sunset. In the backyard there will be a dirt-filled swimming pool, and an empty chicken barn on the corner of the fence. Attempting to jump over i.e. glance over the fence will result in the wanderer being teleported back to the porch.

Entities

On level 553 there are entities called "pipe-cleaners", Pipe cleaners seem to be similar to the Giant Gippsland earthworm. These entities are proven not hostile. Pipe cleaners have the special effect, in that they will secrete a red soil like substance from their mouth. This substance is poisonous, and should not be eaten. They mainly gather in herds in the basement, commonly lined on the pipes, which they secret their substance; hence the name.

There is also an entity titled "Them", stylized "THEM" are large pairs of floating brown-colored eyes of large proportions, and have no eyelid around them. Their retinas under sunlight will turn deep black, and under moonlight they will turn into a mixture of greenish-blue neon. They occasionally float around the house, but get more active in the afternoon. When attempting to contact them, they will dismiss you and continue to float, the same thing applies when one touches them.

Further notes

Some theories suggest that the Level is possibly a sub-level of Level 9, due to its only entrance being in Level 9 through a dirt path, theories also suggest that the level is a sort of joint entrance between Level 9 and Level 11. The level finally opens its doors at midnight, exiting through them will lead to to Level 11. The secrets of this level are wide, further research on this level has been conducting since 2011.
