Description

• Level 1, ''The Habitable Zone'' is the 2nd Level in the Backrooms. It features a long, endless complex similar to a typical car park or warehouse. The Level also features wet floors, exposed wires, staircases, randomly segmented hallways, crude paintings, corrugated iron and most notably, a low-hanging fog, with no source pointing to it. Puddles of water may form in places that seem impossible, but no definitive reason has been found. The Level has been known to have flicking lights that that fail at random intervals at any given time. Entities are known to attack un-suspecting wanderers during this period. So, a flashlight or any light source could be useful on the Level. Hallways on the Level appear randomly, with no specific order or shape, these hallway always have two ends (which are about 10m long) with false door on both ends and featuring random objects on the floor including pieces of clothing, strands of human hair, random notes in any language and crude painting which look enticing to any viewer.

• Underneath the floors, faint vibrations can occasionally be felt, as if something massive is shifting far below. Cracks in the walls and ceilings often seep an unidentifiable black substance that seems to evaporate when exposed to light. Some walls feature faint imprints resembling hand prints or claw marks, though their origins are unclear. In certain areas, there are odd temperature fluctuations, with sections of hallways suddenly feeling colder or warmer without any visible cause. The fog can sometimes form shapes that appear humanoid but dissipate when approached. Faint whispers have been reported in some hallways, though their source remains untraceable.Ceiling pipes, often corroded and leaking unknown fluids, hang precariously low in some regions, occasionally emitting hissing sounds or dripping onto the floor. These pipes sometimes feature markings that look like faded symbols or diagrams, written in an indecipherable language.Large, seemingly unmovable storage shelves and crates are scattered randomly, often blocking passageways. The contents of these crates, when accessible, range from mundane items like canned goods and tools to completely nonsensical objects such as broken toys, shattered mirrors, and unrecognizable mechanical components.Time behaves inconsistently on Level 1, with some wanderers reporting that hours feel like minutes or vice versa. Additionally, compasses and watches seem to malfunction, rendering traditional navigation tools useless. Far in the distance, wanderers have reported faint mechanical noises, like the hum of a generator or the grinding of gears, though approaching the source reveals nothing.
