Level 6.3

Level 6.3 is a sublevel of Level 6.
Description
Level 6.3 takes on the appearance of a catwalk, primarily made of metal, in a perpetually rainy environment. The catwalk also seems to have metal handrails that extend with the catwalk’s direction and position. It stretches infinitely, though occasionally twists and turns would make their way into the level’s pathway as well. Street lamps appear on the side of the footway, oftentimes flickering due to the rainy environment. Similarly to its parent level, Level 6, this level is also incredibly dark. However, the street lights serve themselves as a light source, unlike its parent level, which is completely dark.
Gravity on Level 6.3 is roughly 33% of that on Earth, which translates to a gravity acceleration of roughly 10.61 ft/s (3.234 m/s). This would also mean that its gravity is lower than that of Mercury, a small rocky planet in the Solar System. This would pose several hazards for the wanderer exploring Level 6.3, as low gravity can cause changes to a human’s vascular system. This would ultimately cause circulatory problems.
Level 6.3 is known to not have a day-and-night cycle, inevitably making it "stuck in time." Despite this, the level still has Euclidean physics instead of everything else being stopped. This anomaly, nicknamed the "Mechanical Anomaly," is also the most famous anomaly of the sublevel. However, the level has many other anomalous properties that aren’t just this. Moreover, these anomalies have their own section in the document.
Theories suggest that the mechanical anomaly is caused by a time dilation, where one Earth year is approximately one second in Level 6.3 time. However, since nobody has bothered to actually test this theory, it remains unconfirmed and potentially infeasible. Other theories (and potentially more accurate ones) say that the level does not have a sun or moon, explaining the cold temperature of roughly 39°F (3.88°C). Because of this, the level does not have a day and night cycle and is stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Level 6.3 is known to also be unstable because of the low gravity. Since the level is unstable, it is thought that it is going to collapse in the near future, as it is extremely easy to noclip here from Level 6 if certain conditions are met. Estimates range from 1,000 to 3,200 years, which, although it seems like a really long time, is barely anything compared to the backrooms’ lifetime. However, a level’s collapse is hard to measure, so estimates can be wildly different (as shown earlier).
Entities Effects
Despite the fact that no known entities live here, the level poses several threats and repercussions. The majority of these are produced by the dark nature and low gravity, however they should be noted. Anyone who stays in Level 6.3 for an extended amount of time may face the following effects:
*Harmful changes to the wanderer’s cardiovascular system;
*Altered sleep cycles, eventually leading to possible insanity in the future;
*Depression due to the isolated nature of Level 6.3;
*Hallucinations and anxiety as well as possible other related tendencies.
This does not apply to all wanderers that visit the level, but are oftentimes present in wanderers after exiting.
Discovery
Level 6.3 was presumably discovered on August 11th, 1979, by a wanderer named E. Nurzhanov. Despite this being most likely, other conflicting resources claim that it was discovered in 1981 by S. Bērzīts, a Latvian wanderer who took the first footage of the level. However, neither of these resources is accepted nor denied, making it unclear when exactly they were discovered. Both wanderers are claimed to have entered here via Level 6.3’s parent level, Level 6.
Until 1984, the level was not given an official name by the database. Nomads typically gave it the nickname "Darkened Catwalk," which eventually became its nickname. Other sources would call it "Level 6B" or "Level 66This was before the current Level 66 was discovered.," until it was designated "Level 6.3" in 1984.
Recovered Note
Darkened Footway
I always knew that the fear of the dark was always apparent when it came to places, but this makes me scared. I’m not comfortable with such low gravity and the rain. The fact that there’s no color and it's very dark makes it even worse. I want to escape, but I don’t know how yet. I’m praying, and I don’t usually do that.
”1982” is written on the back of the note.
Entrances & Exits
Certain areas in Level 6It’s not known where exactly these areas are due the immense darkness. However, it is known that not all areas can be under these certain conditions. can easily be noclipped through to enter here. Alternatively, doing the same method in Level 6.5 can also bring you here. Unfortunately, no other entrances have been recorded.
In order to actually exit Level 6.3, you need to perform Meditative Noclipping. This is because no other methods have been discovered, but this method strangely does.
