》Strictly Uninhabitable
》Constant Environmental Threats
Level -344 is the 344th negative level of the backrooms.
==Description==
A sample from the constant blizzard in the level.
Level -344 resembles an abandoned city overwhelmed by snow. The city is mostly composed of houses that almost look the same. Some houses have more "modern" designs, while others have a more "classical" look. Some shops can also be found in the city, and although they lack food or water, you can still find mugs, knives, forks, spoons, plates, and other things one would normally find in typical suburban stores or restaurants. The city has some points of interest, those being The Factory, The Frozen Caves, and The Outside.
The weather at Level -344 is the most dangerous part. The level gets unimaginably cold during the night, and the warmest the level has been recorded to be was 13 ° C (55°F), and it normally is -34° C (29.2 °F) in the level. The weather is not the only threat at this level. The snow in the level has been discovered to contain asbestos, meaning that staying too long in the level can cause lung problems.
Level -344 is mostly engulfed in dense fog, making it hard to see things in the distance. There are also some wanderers who claim not to have seen fog in the level. Although these claims are currently unproven, there are some supposed images of Level -344 without any fog. Any attempt to get video evidence of Level -344 without fog has failed. The level also has no day and night cycle and always stays at dawn.
===The Factory===
The Factory, or as it is alternatively called, The Factories resembles a series of abandoned factories from an unidentified time period, with a total of five factories that can be found throughout the city. They have a label that reads a misspelling of the word FACTORY in the font Georgia, which is also bolded and written in Russian.
The Factories are mostly frozen and consumed by snow, with some areas being relatively warm compared to the level's average temperature. Skeletons can be found throughout these factories. The skeletons possess worker clothes and a worker ID. There are also various files found on the ground or on shelves.
The files found in The Factories contain papers with handwritten gibberish, which is speculated to be a long-forgotten, unknown language. Some appear to be taken from a diary, while others appear to have been printed, and their conditions are dubious. While some look normal, others are almost completely torn apart, and there are some that appear to have burn marks.
The Factories are known for their plentiful amounts of food, which are easily found and anomalously appear every day; however, they can sometimes get you sick because most of the food has passed the expiration date and is in bad shape. If you ever plan to go to The Factory for food, it's recommended to check the expiration date or the food as a whole before consuming it or taking it with you. Other things like almond water and weapons may appear, but they are mostly of low quality, like the food.
===The Frozen Caves===
The Frozen Caves resemble weird cave formations connected by claustrophobic corridors, all made out of strong, resistant, and smooth ice. 
In The Frozen Caves, it's possible to sometimes find ores. All of the ores that appear in Level -344 also exist in The Frontrooms.
Some wanderers reported finding a mysterious, dark scarlet-colored liquid, rumored to contain blood, sometimes fused to the walls and other times in liquid form.
The Frozen Caves, while they mostly don't possess snow, still pose dangers. Stalagmites can be found on the roof of the cave. The stalagmites in this area can easily fall and cause noises over 80 decibels, so if you hear one starting to crack, move out of the way and cover your ears.
===The Outside===
The Outside resembles a forest covered in snow divided into two major areas that surround the city. It's recommended for wanderers to avoid this area.
The Outside has more snow than the city. The snow in The Outside is a bit different from the snow in the city. While it still contains asbestos, it is a bit quicksand-like in the sense that it will start to pull anyone who steps on it to the bottom. However, unlike quicksand, it is an actual threat due to its ability to completely sink humans.
Theories suggest that falling to the bottom of the snow will take one to another area, however, this is unconfirmed and attempts to prove this theory correct have resulted in death or the near death of the person trying it.
The other area in The Outside is known by the name The Otherside. It's reached by getting to the end of The Outside.
The Otherside resembles a frozen ocean that surrounds The Outside and is supposedly infinite. In The Otherside, there is no more snow and no more of the fog. It is the only confirmed area to not have any fog.
The Otherside is one of the areas with the least known information in Level -344. It is also a very dangerous area due to the ice being heavily unstable. Beneath the ice is water which has been found to be -172° C (-277.6 F). It's basically a death sentence to fall into the water of The Otherside.
==Entities==
No life outside of microscopic life exists in this level.

Due to the nature of this level, creating an colony or an outpost is impossible.

*There is a small chance that you will find an abandoned house in Level 941. Enter this house and it will lead to a random house in the city.
*Noclipping through a blockage of snow in the Halls of Hounds in Level -560 will send one to the city.
**Noclipping through an ice blockage on Level 38.1 will send one to the city.
===Exits===
* There is a slim chance that falling through the ice at The Otherside will lead to Level 7.
*Falling into a rare crevice will lead to Level 202.1.
