ㅤㅤLevel 367 is the 368th Level of the Backrooms.

Description

Level 367, otherwise known as Subterra, is a non-linear space resembling a large group of catacombs. Although the Level, previously known as the Medieval Mines, garners relative difference throughout its rooms, the impact of this effect is more apparent when one ventures deeper into the Level. The carvings on the walls suggest that Subterra has previously, and possibly presently, been inhabited by people of varying origin points.

Liminal space in Subterra is unfamiliar and perplexing. Although many expeditions in this Level have attempted to understand the aforementioned property very commonly present in the Backrooms, all have been in vain. This is due to the nature of the non-Euclidean geometry of Subterra, which allows one to return to their former location in ways that should not be possible. It is due to this that mapping Subterra is impossible; coordinate mapping would not work, as the catacombs are always changing and space is altered.

Subterra appears to be a vast space resembling a large group of catacombs. Upon initial discovery, the catacombs were compared to those of Paris; however, Subterra lacks the most influential trait of the Parisian catacombs, the skulls along the walls. Disassociation of the two could be furthered by the ambience of this Level; someone in Subterra may hear the dripping of water in the distance. The source of the sound is relatively unknown, as approaching it will cause it to disperse or get further away.

Subterra seems to have strange sculptures throughout it; some are of castles, some are of people. The origin of the majority of these sculptures is unknown, although it is presumed that they were sculpted by long-dead wanderers who either escaped the catacombs or died within them. Either way, by careful consideration, most researchers have agreed that the sculptures were sculpted ranging anywhere from three-hundred (300) to two-thousand and five-hundred (2,500) years ago, likely a mix of both. What the majority resemble is unknown, although many interpretations by scholars and historians of the Backrooms have been, and are in the process of, being created.

Although presently unconfirmed, several Major Explorer Group personnel persist that, very rarely, sewers can be found and entered in Subterra. A photograph was taken by one of these researchers, however it is yet to be confirmed if the photo actually existed in Level 367. Past tense applied due to the non-existence that now affects the sewer system photographed; the researcher states that he left the area to gather a few of his peers to observe the strange phenomena. When they returned, it was supposedly gone, adding to the odd, non-Euclidean geometry of Level 367.

The idea of the existence of widespread commune and congregation on Level 367 has died down immensely, primarily due to the impossibility of it. As has been shown previously, congregation on such inhospitable, non-Euclidean Levels seldom ends in success. It is due to this that the only Major Explorer Group personnel active in Subterra are small groups of researchers, with supplies lasting for up to two (2) weeks. Exit is necessary for research teams to survive, and it is not a rarity for them to go missing altogether. Nevertheless, the Major Explorer Group is persistent in its efforts to learn about the strange properties of Subterra. Although the matter has not yet reached the Impresarios, several members of the Editorial Council, the lower governing body of the Major Explorer Group, express interest in the claims of the XVI Research Team.

Some rumors have also spread about there being a “surface” to Subterra; however, these are likely baseless and not inspired by truth. “They probably exist to explain 367, a place in which the logic that we know does not apply,” one Major Explorer Group researcher says.

Although it follows a generally similar pattern, geography and design in Subterra oftentimes change; this is usually a slight change of biome and rock type / shape. Some of the ever-changing locations in Level 367 are made of smooth, seemingly man-made stone; others are made of sandstone, and some are a mix of both. Conclusively, material in Subterra varies massively, for an unknown reason.

Over all, Subterra is not fit for human settlement or congregation; as aforementioned, groups may often stay in the Level with short-term supplies, but they must be recalled. Even with this strategy, there is a chance of loss. Without supplies, a wanderer is very likely to perish; water is a scarcity, only being found very rarely dripping from the ceilings (dripping sound increases in dB due to there being two sounds; one of true, genuine water, and one of an anomalous property,) and food is nonexistent. With this knowledge, the longest a wanderer could survive is three weeks without any pre-packed supplies.

Subterra is likely inhabited by several entities; however, it's unlikely that any wanderer will come across one, similarly to Level 0. The non-Euclidean space is simply far too large for there to be such an encounter. Such an encounter, of course, is not impossible; simply very, very rare.

As was aforementioned, Subterra has several different rock types and geographic differences; three have been noted as major, whilst more are waiting for approval by the Editorial Board's Cluster I Council. They will be listed below. In order, the images on this page accurately reflect each type; the Rocky Range, the Smooth Range, and the Sand Range.

The largest documented room in the Rocky Range; this architectural gem serves an unknown purpose due to all attempts to rediscover it having failed. Some speculate that it serves as a tomb; whom is buried is entirely unknown, if that is its true service.

The Rocky Range is the location, or group thereof, within Subterra, that is considerably rocky; the geography of this range seems as if it were abandoned, at best. The zone’s temperatures have considerable difference from the Sandy Range, although little difference from the Smooth Range; an average of 21.6° Celsius, as opposed to the Sandy Range’s 31.2° Celsius. The Rocky Range, likely due to the rarity of the Smooth Range, is undoubtably the most traversed zone in Subterra. The majority of all sculptures and paintings can be found in this zone. Due to the ever-changing nature of Subterra, not much advice can be granted along the lines of travel. No colonies can be established within the Rocky Range, due to the lack of congregational ability. The largest of rooms in the Rocky Range are not very large, either. If the Rocky Range was not practically uninhabitable, it would be a rather peaceful location; it is, if one has the supplies they need to survive within it. As is a trend with all of Subterra, the Rocky Range is non-Euclidean and liminal.

This image of the Smooth Zone is a rather run-down part of it; the other image on this page is a wonderful example of that.

The Smooth Range is the location, or group thereof, within Subterra, that is considerably smooth; the geography of this range seems at the very least well-built, and oftentimes well maintained. The zone’s temperatures have considerable difference from the Sandy Range, yet little to no difference from the Rocky Range, with the Smooth Range’s average temperature being around 22.2° Celsius. The Smooth Range is undoubtably the rarest range in Level 367, only being found on very rare occurrences. It is likely the most hospitable of ranges; although food is still not present, this is the one zone which has had no entity reports, and is the brightest on average.  No feasible travel information can be granted due to non-Euclidean geometry and liminal spaces within Level 367; however, the Smooth Range seems to be least prone (in terms of speed) to these effects, allowing one to turn around several times and a location remaining the same. The largest of rooms within the Smooth Range tend to be tunnels; possibly sewage systems.

The Sand Range is the location, or group thereof, within Subterra, that is considerably sandy; the geography of this range does not seem well-made in of itself, yet instead seems to envelop rocks that are usually found within the Rocky Range. The zone’s temperatures are the hottest within all of Subterra; 31.2° Celsius. The range also happens to be the zone which has the most entity reports; six (6.) The second-rarest range, some wanderers will likely come across the Sand Range. The Sand Range is undoubtably the least hospitable of the three zones, with scorching temperatures, possible entities, and, just as the other two, a lack of feasible travel information. The Sand Range is most prone to the effects of liminality.

The blue sky's grace never occurred to me.

The glory of the daylight sky, blessing the entire world.

Such a simple occurrence that I grew so used to. That everyone grew used to.

That everyone took for granted.

And then came the night sky, just as gorgeous, as the Moon floated above.

But, this privilege, this grace, was taken from me.

I found myself there.

The never-ending space of horrifying beings, most of which were in my mind, and pure, raw, atrocious, horrible nothingness.

You know it as Level 0. I don't. I know it as a nightmare.


The daylight, the sun, in my life had faded. I was now on to the next phase.

The night. I was called for a greater purpose.

Eventually, I found my way there. The labyrinths of stone. I wandered for days, which soon turned into weeks.

And then, I saw the note;

It informed me of the glories of Her. The graceful, divine Mater Lunae.

It had already happened. But now, I truly knew.

And then, I stumbled into the passageway. It took me here. I found it, Gary

Here, I am free.

The rolling hills, the caverns that appeared as cracks in the perfect ground; the deep ocean, and the highest of mountains-

All greatness was present here. All that remained missing…

Was Her.
Thankfully, we wouldn't be waiting too long.
