Level PL-4 is the fourth Polish level of the Backrooms. It was discovered on April 13th, 1970.
Description:

Level PL-4 is a system of interconnected corridors and rooms made of concrete, varying in size. Most of the floors and walls are covered in identical tiles made of white marble, with a surface area of 20 cm². Most of the objects found on this level, similar to the walls and floors, show signs of damage. The exact causes of this remain unknown. The areas of Level PL-4 share a total surface area of 600,000 km².
The Bathrooms are a complex of several dozen adjacent rooms, covering an area of nearly 1 km². In them, one can find 93 toilets, 188 sinks, and 27 showers booths. Some sinks have running water, but most often it is cold. The same applies to the showers. None of the discovered toilets have a functioning flush, despite the water in the toilet bowl. In the Bathrooms, one can often encounter other wanderers, as they are one of the few landmarks in the area of the level. The Wells are rooms measuring 12 m² that occur in some places in Level PL-4. In the center of these rooms stand circular concrete wells covered with marble tiles, with a diameter of 2 meters. The individual wells vary in depth and the amount of water stored. In each Well room, there is a metal bucket and a rope corresponding to the well's depth. The water here is always clean and suitable for consumption, despite the pervasive dirt. This leads to these types of rooms being often sought out by wanderers. Unfortunately, they cannot be treated as an inexhaustible source of water, as the supply in the Wells is limited.

So far, no entities have been confirmed to exist in Level PL-4. However, from time to time, various travelers report stories to the Committee's employees, speaking of a constant feeling of being watched, movements of shadows noticed out of the corner of the eye, or difficult-to-describe sounds coming from an unknown source.1 Many also report experiencing debilitating headaches, frequent sensory disorientation, and an overall sense of dislocation, further amplified by irrational fear.
Bases, Outposts and Communities:
11th. Outpost of the Polish Discovery Committee
- It is located in a room 300 meters from the exit to Level PL-3, next to one of the Wells.
- Between 2 to 5 Committee employees are stationed there.
- Its tasks include providing protection to wanderers arriving from Level PL-3 and communication with the 23 th. Outpost.
4th. Outpost of the Polish Discovery Committee
- It is located near the Baths, between two of the Wells.
- Between 10 to 20 Committee employees are stationed there.
- Its main tasks include further exploration of Level PL-4, assisting wanderers, and managing the water supplies remaining in one of the wells.
- It is one of the first outposts of the Committee in the Backrooms.
- Its operation was resumed in 1990, after a nearly 20-year break.2
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
- Upon entering one of the caves on Level PL-2, you will be sent here.
- You can also access this level by no-clipping.
Exits
- If you fall asleep in this level, there is a chance you will wake up at Level PL-7.
- Going through the wooden hatch in the floor of one of the rooms will take you to Level PL-3.
- No-clipping through some of the walls will transport you to Level PL-5.
- Entering one of the booths will take you to the showers on Level PL-9.
Additional Documentation
The recording below was found in the archives of the 4th Outpost after its operation was resumed in April 1990. It is suspected that it was authored by one of the employees of the Polish-Soviet Interdimensional Cooperation Committee, the parent organization of the current Committee. According to official reports, the 4th Outpost was closed in mid-1972 after its team was found dead. After examining the wounds inflicted on the explorers, a single gunshot to the head at close range was determined to be the cause of death for all of them. One more body carring the same injuries, was found several hundred meters from the Outpost at the edge of the Bathrooms.
The report published below was prepared a few months after the resumption of the activities of the 4th. Outpost. The mentioned deficiencies in the documentation regarding the Level PL-4 could not be supplemented due to the almost complete wiping of the PRKWM archives before the conversion of the organization into the contemporary Committee.
