Level 886 is the 887th level of the backrooms.

Description
Level 886 resembles a dilapidated seminary surrounded by overgrown fauna consisting of chest high grass, giant hogweeds, Japanese knotweed amongst other species of Frontrooms plants although compared to their peers, these plants have been altered in size, being double to triple the size of their contemporary counterparts. Due to their boosted size, these plants are capable of blanketing over multiple paths that span out from the seminary making observing any location from the ground floor nearly impossible.
The building itself that many considered to be the main location of the level resembles closely to most 1950's brutalist designs, showing almost to no exquisite detailing, the outside of the building itself shows considerable damage with exposed concrete and rebar being visible and as for the interior, it also shares some considerable weather damage with mold growing on exposed concrete, the interior is also strewn with damaged furniture in vary degrees of degradation.
Interestingly despite the building's decrepit state, wanderers have claimed that the building somehow has working electricity which can allow one to rest and recharge any batteries for equipment or for those daring enough, set up an outpost.
The level's threats consist of entities that hide within the overgrown foliage, mainly skin stealers and hounds which makes traversal without adequate defence a risky and if not, fatal task, meaning that it's wise to bring a weapon that can keep any entity at a good distance.
Entities aren't the only threat however as another factor is at work making the level being considerably more dangerous. A phenomenon is observed within the level capable of leading any wanderer into an early demise, this phenomenon is known only by wanderers and colonists as the "Haze Maiden". The Haze Maiden appears to be a spectral entity vaguely resembling a monochromatic human figure measuring around 5ft and 6 inches in height and being able to mimic the voice of one family members. The Haze Maiden often appears whenever a wanderer is under psychological stress meaning that the entity's presence is somewhat irregular because of how the backrooms operate, all what's known about the Haze Maiden's capability is that it preys on the psychologically damaged with reports from multiple wanderers and even members of outposts based in the level documenting a loss of their party.
Another Phenomenon within the level has been noted by colonists, being a single photobook that when opened shows old photos of anyone who observes any one image, showing the observer as a child standing outside of the building as if they had been there before, regardless if they had any memory of the place beforehand or even knew about it in the first place.
Entities
As stated beforehand, level 886 is populated mostly with hounds and Skin-Stealers hiding within the overgrown fauna along with the Haze Maiden entity within the level.
Colonies and Outposts
Despite the Level's somewhat unusual phenomenons and entities. There is multiple, albeit small colonies that reside within the main building.
M.I.O.R.A.N Base - "The Shed"
- Population is around 60 members, being located on the ground floor of the seminary that they have fortified.
- Most members of the colony consist of RELI (Research Experimental Logistics Informants) while 25 members work as armed guards.
- Are willing to trade with wanderers, exchanging weapons and tools for medical supplies and food.
"The Groundskeepers"
- Population is relatively small with estimates of around 25 members.
- All members of the colony are armed with a mixture of weapons ranging from homemade pipeguns and crossbows to weapons that they've traded for, being a mixture of pistols and rifles.
- Sometimes works with the M.I.O.R.A.N agents with finding other ways to find exits in exchange for supplies.
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
- There is only one guaranteed way to access this level. Enter Level 11 and start walking 15 miles in any direction until one reaches a chapel, knock on the door 3 time before entering should allow you to access this level.
Exits
- Exiting this level is difficult but it can be achieved, walk out of the seminary from the east wing and keep on a straight path, it's advisable to keep moving until you clip into the ground, allowing one to access level 333.
