The Backrooms span several levels. You travel between them by finding level entrances and exits, so search every area thoroughly rather than following one corridor forever. Knowing what each level offers helps you decide where to head next.
Level Rundown
- Level 0: Yellow wallpaper and damp carpet. This is your starting point. Scavenge it, then look for a way out.
- Level 1: Vast warehouses with concrete floors and supply crates. This is a good place to restock.
- Level 2: Dark maintenance tunnels full of pipes and high heat. Move through carefully, and remember that darkness is where Smilers hide.
- Level 3: Electrical stations with machinery and narrow corridors. Tight spaces make it easy to get cornered, so watch both ends of a hallway.
- Level 4: Quiet abandoned offices with scattered supplies. It is a calmer place to recover and search cubicles for food.
- Level 6.1: The snack bar level, with vending areas and safe food items. Head here when hunger and sanity are running low.
- Level 11: An endless city of concrete buildings and roadways. It is huge and open, so keep an eye on the sky for Deathmoths.
Travel Tips
1. Fill up on food before moving to a new level, because you can't be sure what you'll find first.
2. Mark your route with placed blocks so you can backtrack to a known exit.
3. Prioritize Level 1, Level 4 and Level 6.1 when you need supplies.
