Level 7 is the 8th level of the Backrooms.

The first known image of Level 7.

Description

Level 7 is made up of two regions. The first is The House and is a series of flooded rooms that resemble various sections from standard residential houses seen in the Frontrooms. The water that fills these rooms usually has an extremely low visibility but can vary from area to area. Some rooms are offset vertically and horizontally, as if partially sunk, resulting in seemingly varying water levels but the doors are always accessible. Occasionally you may find a room raised above the water level, these can contain large amounts of supplies. Conversely, rooms may be entirely submerged, these spaces always lack a floor and diving down provides access to an extremely deep body of water designated as "The Abyss".

The Abyss

The Abyss is the ocean that The House section of Level 7 floats upon. It has a salinity similar to that of the Frontrooms and is home to various entities. Once an abject is fully immersed in the water of The Abyss, it is no longer under the influence of either gravity or buoyancy. There are also no natural water currents, these factors lead to objects floating completely still in whatever position they were left in.

There is no natural light in this level due to The House section covering the entire surface of the ocean, and no way to access the roof of The House. The water here drastically improves in visibility from the water in The House; with the aid of a sufficiently powerful light source, a wanderer can see approximately 55 meters in every direction. No discernible sea floor or bottom to The Abyss has yet been located, but multiple objects have been discovered floating in place, at seemingly random depths. Pressure (1 atm) and temperature (19°C) are constant everywhere in The Abyss, allowing wanderers to free-dive as deep as their oxygen supply will last.

To date, three M.E.G expeditions have been launched into The Abyss.

The first expedition

The first expedition was launched from M.E.G outpost 7-Ⅳ, and consisted of a single diver, Explorer James Alastor, callsign - "Lantern". Equipment and supplies: diving mask, wet-suit, rebreather, handheld dive light. 170m of rope was attached to a winch at one end and tied around Explorer Lantern's waist at the other

16:00- Equipment is double checked and personnel are re-briefed.

16:10- Expedition start, Explorer Lantern begins the dive.

16:22- Explorer Lantern finds and recovers a sealed glass bottle.

16:29- Explorer Lantern finds a partially rotted wooden chair.

16:31- Explorer Lantern discovers that his rope has been severed and enters a state of panic.

16:32- Explorer Lantern manages to find the other piece of rope, and begins making his way back to the outpost.

16:37- Explorer Lantern

You lose it all down there. Sense of direction, any inkling of up, down, or where you came from. The blackness envelops you, claims you as its own. The to call it dark would be an understatement, to call it an oppressive, uncanny, infinite sea of nothing, would be an understatement. It is a nigh herculean effort simply to force these words out of my brain and onto the paper. It is almost as if there is a clot of the same inky water lodged in my mind, spreading it's malignant tentacles throughout my body like a mental tumour. The expedition took twenty seven minutes. At least that's what they told me - it felt like and eternity, like always I'd existed in that unnerving void and anything else was just a blurry fever dream. I started out

The third and final expedition consisted of three M.E.G Explorers utilising a submarine vessel. Personnel were Explorer Robert Curfew, Explorer Lucy Dartling and Head Explorer Jason Whitehall.

Colonies and Outposts

Guide Outpost 05 (Former)

This research base previously owned by both B.A.S and T.T.G is now abandoned.

Pre-Abandonment:

  • Have 8 B.A.S scientist and 20 T.T.G Guards
  • Main purpose is to study the depth of the 'seafloor', search for exit and/or find The Thing On Level 7.
  • Set up a temporal camp near the only room.
  • After finding the 'seafloor' seemingly 'infinite' deep and eventually finding a more 'practical' exit, the team gets attacked by robe-wearing attackers (likely TPWG, see above) and retreated through the more 'practical' exit, ending up at level 4 with a sealed, water leaking fire-door.
  • Base abandoned.

Backroom Colonists

A research outpost owned by the group in question that is relatively big. It has currently 40 people guarding it and it has similar properties to The Floaters previous outpost. While it is pretty recreational, they have sea related equipment to do experiments on the ocean.

Outpost 207

  • Created by the outpost group
  • Relatively friendly
  • Open to trade
  • Base made of random furniture
  • 65 members

The Floaters

  • Had 23 people
  • Lived in a medium sized outpost with a makeshift swimming pool where they would swim for both fun and for exercise
  • Destroyed.
  • Rumored to have been taken by The Thing

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

Exits

  • A double door with a "No Exit" sign leads back to Level 4.
  • Venturing further out in the ocean of this level has a rare chance of transporting one to Level 7.2.
  • Entering deep into the ocean of this level may lead to the coast of Level 1045.
  • Interacting with a "yellow rubber ducky" may transport one to Level Fun =), although this is strongly unadvised.
