Level 977 is the 978th Level of the Backrooms. It was discovered by an anonymous explorer on 3/8/2018.
Description:
Level 977 is a highway located in the middle of nowhere. The highway has been estimated to be about 2,000 miles in length (no one has ever made it to the end) but there is a certain radius that isn’t recommended to leave. An anonymous explorer has created a guide to level 977 and it is crucial that you follow it.
As stated in the guide: “There are 3 so called ‘stages’ in level 977. Stage 3 being the most dangerous, and stage 1 being the safest.” The illustration on the right shows the radiuses of the stages (m for miles). You should never wander too far away from the road, as it is your only escape.
The Stages:
Stage 1 - minimal entity count (survival difficulty: class 1)
Entities:
- Death rats
- Veckiles
Stage 2 - medium entity count (survival difficulty: class 3)
Entities:
- Smilers
- Insanities
- Facelings
- Death rats
- Veckiles
Stage 3 - high entity count (survival difficulty: class 4)
Entities:
Similar entities to stage 2 except more hostile and larger amounts.
There have been sightings of large boxes filled with useful supplies like almond water in this stage.
Stage 3< - unknown
Only one anonymous explorer has documented what he saw past stage 3, most couldn’t even survive to get to that point. They wrote:
“I’ve finally managed to make it past stage 3, curiosity got the best of me. I’ve wandered over a mile away from the end of stage 3 and I can’t describe what I’m seeing. I am so terrified to the point that I’m hallucinating. These entities are making me go insane, please help me. I’m currently hiding near the side of the road, shaking from fear. I think this might be the end.”
The explorer hasn't been heard from since.
Veckiles:
There has been a new entity discovered in this level, the discoverer of this level named them “veckiles” (veh-kyles). They are entities that took the shape of a car, the color of the car determines their hostility level.
White, yellow:
- Passive
- Will stop if you're in the way
- Sometimes supplies are thrown out of the windows
- Seen in every stage
Red, green:
- Neutral
- Doesn't notice anything
- Will keep driving even if something is in the way
- Seen in every stage
Blue, purple:
- Hostile
- If it notices you, it will drive towards you and run you over
- Appears only in stage 2 and up
Veckiles come randomly and no one knows where they come from. Usually you see a veckile every 2-7 minutes. They drive at around 30 mph, however hostile veckiles drive at around 50 mph if they notice you. They sound exactly like a car and honk very loudly once they enter your 1 mile radius.
Colonies:
There is only 1 known colony in this level.
The Outsetters
- Over 30 people including doctors and engineers
- Passive and kind, will accept almost anyone
- Located near the arrival area in stage 1
- Set up tents in claimed land
- Sends out patrols for supplies
- Organized and reliable
Entrances And Exits:
Entrances
To enter this level you have to no clip through the road in either level 80 or level 11.
Exits
To exit this level you must be hit by a red veckile with its headlights on, which are more likely to appear in higher stages. Then you will be taken to The End.
