我很确定你觉得自杀将会让你不在后室中继续受苦。但我要告诉你的是,很抱歉......事实并非如此。
生存难度: 未定

Level ε是那些自杀者的迷失灵魂的受刑之地。
一片废墟......
描述
Level ε看上去是一座被毁掉的,单色的小镇。 尽管这座小镇是不是真的单色并未被证实,因为一旦进入Level ε 就会让流浪者眼中的世界永远地变成黑白单色,就算他们离开了这里也是一样。要明白,任何人都不能把进入这层当成一个迅速逃离危险的方式——如果经过审判得出的结论是一个流浪者并没有足够的意愿去自杀,那么他就不会被送到这里。据说(原文Said,不知是拼写有误还是误删了某些部分)这样的流浪者们并不会在这一层里醒来,而是在什么也没有的虚空里保持死亡。
一旦来到这里,所有的建筑物就会直直地倒下,造出一条能看见的小径。哭声会一直从被毁掉的建筑物里传出来,但是请忽视它们。冒险前往小径外面的地方会把流浪者们困入建筑物的残骸中。
汝前了自生,今竟欲救人?
汝不能自救也。勿扰也。
沿着这条小径走五分钟总会把流浪者带到一个教堂,无论他走的多快。椅子在教堂里的两侧分别排成了三行,全部冲着教堂死气沉沉的中心处的一个讲台。来到这里的人可以看到讲台后面的门和窗户,尽管它们被锁上了。
在讲台处有一个温顺的笑魇。千万不要激怒那个笑魇,这点很重要,否则,它会立刻使你瘫痪,然后你的存在本身会消失(原文vanish from existence)。我们不知道你消失之后会去哪里,因为所有的受害人都再也没人见过了;然而,我们觉得他们应该是死了。
如果你偏离了教堂里应有的礼节,那么那个笑魇会生气——不要大动干戈,言其不实,或者做出其他挑战那个笑魇的权威的举动。摄影师在教堂内部的行为被严格的限制了,以及,那些椅子完全是为牧师而准备的。
在看着你10秒钟后,那个笑魇将会欢迎你并且问你为什么你会来到这里。
You should know exactly why you're here.
You committed suicide to free yourself from the pain.
We must reiterate that you must not lie to the Smiler. Although you still may be suicidal, the lack of information regarding the aftermath of the Smiler's paralysis leads us to believe your fate will be worse than death if you lie.
Tell the truth, and the Smiler will give you a knife, and order in an eerie voice:
Kill yourself.
You have two minutes. During this ordeal, you will not feel any pain from injuries you inflict upon yourself. However, you will feel your systems shutting down as your brain desperately tries to stay alive. Death is supposed to be painless, after all. We recommend sticking the knife inside your throat for the quickest death.
If you injure yourself in any way, you will be transported to Level 0, still permanently colorblind. Otherwise, the Smiler will inflict paralysis upon you and send you off to the unknown.
Exploration Log
M.E.G. Recruit Jasper, interviewed after his team was intercepted at Level 0.
We were ordered by the M.E.G. to commit suicide.
Several of my teammates objected to the idea, but I felt otherwise. I didn't want to be here anymore.
I'm at such a low point in my life. I've witnessed Wanderers transform into Insanities, losing every human aspect of them. Frankly, we're now stuck in a prison, and I see no way out other than death. The M.E.G. seemed to agree. I took one of my team members' pistols, aimed it at my head, and pulled the trigger. As I bled out, my final words were, "It's better this way."
Jared, Michael, and Abel followed my lead soon after. I heard screaming, a bit of ”Don't you fucking dare" before gunshots rang out. Death claimed me soon afterward… or so I thought.
We didn't expect to go to the afterlife. We were probably going to wake up back in the Backrooms again, according to the M.E.G. We were right, but the place we were sent to looked nothing like Level 0.
It was this weird, black-and-white monotone place. Debris everywhere and destroyed structures. There were four of us. We were trying to get in contact with the M.E.G. operatives on our radios, but all we heard was static when they tried to respond.
Structures started collapsing. Jared heard cries for help and instinctively ran into the debris to save what he thought was an elderly woman. It engulfed him. We stood there, frozen in place for what seemed like several hours.
After calming down, Michael worked up the courage to walk the path, making sure to step around the debris. We followed him; I accidentally stepped on the path's debris, but I wasn't devoured. Thank fuck for that.
Anyway, we're walking for a few minutes, and we stumble across a church. I didn't want to suffer Jared's fate, so I told Michael to go, but he was having second thoughts. We argued for a few minutes before Michael just stormed inside, all frustrated. I remember his final words:
"You two are just a bunch of fucking pussies! I'll show you there's nothing to worry about. You want to find an exit or not?"
Shaken, we nod our heads and follow him. There's a Smiler at the podium of the church, and Michael points his gun at it. The Smiler makes a slight hand movement, and Michael's neck twists backwards. Good lord, he's rendered comatose. He's unconscious, but still breathing. Then he just dissolves into ash seconds later. Fuck.
The Smiler talks. I didn't know it could do that. Neither did Abel. I remember the Smiler's words:
"Welcome, Wanderers. Tell me, what brings you to this holy land?"
So, we answer:
"Reverend, we committed suicide."
The Smiler asks us to come closer, and asks us to stretch out our hands. He put a small dagger in each of our hands.
"You know exactly what you have to do."
I looked down at the knife, and thrusted it into my chest with all my might. I lost consciousness immediately.
Now we're back in Level 0. You're interviewing me, the majority of us are dead or missing, and now this place has that weird fucking color. I seriously remember this place being yellow. What the fuck happened to it?
Operative: Jasper, this place is yellow.
Shit.
