Description
[Photo of Level 854, the back of the photo has the word "Atlas" written on it.]
Level 854 is the 855th Level of the Backrooms. It resembles that of a home burnt to cinders, the walls blackened and the ceiling collapsed in some places. Each floor of the level contains active fires, and the air is thickly laden with smoke.
Upon entering this level, one will find themselves in their home in The Frontrooms. Their home appears precisely as they remember it before they left reality. Their most cherished loved one will greet them, attempting to comfort them and welcome them home. This is a deception, please refer to the next section for strategies regarding this dangerous situation.
Exploring this level is extremely dangerous, and it is highly advised wanderers exit the level as soon as possible. Fires burn counterclockwise around the level, traveling along the walls across the square floor plan. The fires only affect the wanderer, so is advised that one goes counterclockwise as well to avoid being burned. The level itself is small, approximately 200,000 square feet. It is three floors high, and the exit can be found at the bottom of the level. A wanderer can spawn on any floor, so it is recommended to look out a window to help orient oneself. The level is surrounded by a verdant forest, however due to the properties of the level the forest cant be reached. Those who have attempted to exit through a window report being looped into the attic, where there are intense fires and a small exit onto the third floor.

The Woman
A dangerous, anomalous entity referred to as "The Woman" inhabits Level 854. Its name comes from its appearance; a feminine figure with ghastly, burnt skin. The entity will wrap unwary wanderers in vivid hallucinations, attempting to trick them into staying long enough to die. The Woman will trap travelers using its illusions where they will quickly succumb to the polluted air or roving fires. The entity will call for you, parroting the loved one it is impersonating. It will say anything it can to fool its prey, specifically targeting those with a weak constitution or wanderers that were caught unaware.
There have been three reported methods of escape:
- Realize you are being manipulated and psychologically forcing the entity out of your mind.
- Misremember your home in such a way that the environment harms the entity posing as a loved one.
- Successfully attacking the entity during the illusion.
The entity itself is physically unable to fight. Once one has broken out of the dream, The Woman will immediately escape by no-clipping away from their victim. This will grant a reprieve so that wanderers may seek the front door and exit into the REDACTED.
Bases, Outposts and Communities
As a deadzone, explorers cannot survive due to the toxic air and rampant fires.
