Level 0
The familiar yellow-room setting that serves as the first area in many versions of the Backrooms. It is often called “The Lobby.”
Context
Level 0 takes its look from the original Backrooms photograph and story. Yellow wallpaper, old carpet, and buzzing fluorescent lighting are common details.
The numbered level grew out of fan lore. Its layout, hazards, and exits depend on the version of the Backrooms a story is using.
Examples
- A character arrives in Level 0, walks through room after room, and realizes every corridor looks like one they already passed.
