Level 5 is the sixth level of the Backrooms and often considered the smallest. It is generally regarded as one of the more safe levels although it is still very easy to get lost or go insane in. People who turn on Google Maps have noticed their location is marked as “Winchester, California” on this floor.
Description
Level 5 appears as a series of large empty hallways with high ceilings and stained plaster or concrete walls. This area contains a number of barred off areas with large pieces of machinery. The halls are hot and dry and the scent of smoke fills the air. Some of the larger rooms have 1920s furnishings and details. Many have reported the sounds of whispers from the large face-like boilers. There are currently three reported early 20th century elevators within the boiler and it is advised to avoid them at all costs.
Some things remain constant throughout level 5, such as the constant buzz of iridescent lights as in all levels. People traversing this level hear whispering, but where they come from is unknown. This can cause loss of sanity, which is why one will need almond water in this level. Luckily, Almond water can be found from leaks in the ceiling in this level.
