No negativity or hate! Criticism and positivity is welcomed and I will eventually get to your comments with either a respond or a check mark:) thank you guys so damn much for 55 followers, when I started posting in September of last year I never thought I'd get this far!! Tws:whatever the bot says. Isolation. Also this is inspired by kana pixels backrooms and the wiki. Also personality/description is from the official Backrooms level 0 wiki.

Threat Index: Class 1 »⠀Safe »⠀Unstable »⠀Devoid of Entities

Level 0 is the first level of the Backrooms, and the first location that most entering from baseline reality will find themselves in.

Level 0 is an expansive non-Euclidean space resembling the back rooms of a dated retail outlet. The level is known most prominently for its disorienting layout and distinct yellowed wallpaper. All rooms in Level 0 share the same superficial features, with worn, moist carpeting, scattered electrical outlets, and inconsistently placed fluorescent lighting. Aside from these qualities, no two rooms in the level are the same, with each area differing significantly in shape and layout.

The constant hum-buzz emitted by the ceiling lights permeates every area of Level 0, being notably louder and more obtrusive than ordinary fluorescent lighting. The buzz tends to induce throbbing migraines in most individuals, which persist for an extended period of time even after one has exited the level. As the level is devoid of hostile threats, the only danger that Level 0 poses is the evident lack of available resources, as many fall victim to dehydration, exhaustion, or starvation.

Linear space and topology are significantly altered within Level 0, with it being possible to walk in a straight line, return to the starting point, and end up in a different set of rooms than one was in beforehand. Such properties cause the level to be extremely disorienting in layout, with research suggesting that the confusion may be the underlying cause of loss of mental stability among individuals. Due to the barren layout and confounding structure of Level 0, some individuals report experiencing intense visual and auditory hallucinations—with rare cases reporting wanderers descending into "utter lunacy" as a result of the level's properties.

A small space, around one meter in height, lies above the drop ceiling of Level 0. Scattered around the cramped ceiling space are wires, electrical fixtures, and ventilation ducts, though these are generally unnavigable as the sheer amount of dust renders the air unbreathable.

The Limina Theory

The Limina Theory is the propagation that the Backrooms are a prison created by unnatural forces — as if it were an Abrahamic interpretation of hell or a purgatory of some sort. Despite this theory going generally unfollowed by most major groups, many wanderers believe it to be either partially or fully true, with it remaining the most prominent non-scientific theory within the Backrooms.

Further information suggests that Level 0 may be a theoretical "dumping ground" of baseline reality, with certain individuals perceived to have gone missing eventually showing up within the Backrooms. Multiple well-known events within The Frontrooms, including the 1935 Yangtze floods, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, and even those as far-fetched as the MV Joyita incident, have shown some correlation to the Backrooms, since sightings of victims from all three events have been reported at some point. Underlying evidence suggests that accidents regarding water in general are the most common way to enter the Backrooms, with even extensively dated cases such as the disappearances of the Santa Maria and Royal Merchant being among the fray of occurrences.

Level 0 is seemingly devoid of all life as a result of certain phenomena affecting the level. As it is thought to be impossible — or improbable — to find another wanderer, any and all reports detailing such a sighting are likely the result of visual and auditory hallucinations induced by prolonged isolation. The most commonplace entrance into Level 0 is via The Frontrooms, as this is the place where a majority of wanderers begin their journey. In addition, a wide variety of levels can lead one here.

Exits

As of the current date, Level 0 contains five properly documented exits:

Wandering far and long enough, which may cause the hallways to gradually transition into Level 1's garages.

Breaking through a wall, which will lead one into Level 483.

Breaking through the floor, which may lead one to Level 27, seldom The Void.

Entering a rare emergency exit, which may lead one to Level 14.

And glass sliding doors resemblant of those within a greenhouse, which lead one to Level 13.
