Level Upsilon

Level Υ:
"The Cloudscape"
Level Υ, otherwise referred to as Level Upsilon or "The Cloudscape" is an enigmatic level of The Backrooms. 
==Description==
Level Υ is a sprawling city complex, composed of skyscrapers and apartment buildings, situated above a thick layer of clouds. These clouds are dense and unable to fall through, meaning they can be walked on with ease. The skyscrapers are constructed primarily of glass and concrete, which, for unknown reasons, is unable to be broken or damaged in any way. The level has a consistent architectural style throughout, resembling modern urban skyscrapers. These skyscrapers all follow the same design and layout styles of one another. The taller towers are composed of a tall structure, gradually getting smaller until ending in a point, and/or flat roof. 
Many buildings have "basements" that stretch below the cloud level. These basements are composed of the same architectural design and layout of other skyscrapers; however, they are usually dim-lit and have malfunctioning electricity. These basements have glass panel windows that reveal a dense layer of clouds stretching downward for an indeterminable length, almost as if the clouds were a landscape. The clouds are capable of "raining." The clouds, when humid enough, will secrete a 2-3 foot layer of lukewarm Almond Water. This Almond Water is safe to drink, and can be bathed in. The water typically stays above the surface for 6 hours before slowly draining back into the cloud landscape below.
Level Υ has a day/night cycle, taking place over six hours. Day is typically warm, at around 70-80°F (21-26ΖC). Day is commonly when the level "rains," giving the level a resort-esque aesthetic. During the night, the temperature and climate is typically cooler, at around 40-50°F (4-10°F) on average. Unlike what many people perceive night to be, the night-time in this level is not dark. The sky takes on a pinkish-orange tint, and the clouds become less dense, allowing for "swimming" inside of the cloud layer. 
Objects commonly materialize into existence in Level Υ. These objects include Almond Water, Moth Jelly, and even Level Keys. Much like the generation of Almond Water, these objects seem to simply appear whenever a wanderer is not looking at a certain location. The level has reduced gravity, akin to that of Frontrooms planet Mars. This allows people and objects to somewhat float around, allowing for easy travel around the level. 
Upon further inspection, the level seems to be a "planet" in nature. The planet has an orbit and a day/night cycle; however, a strange enigmatic property gives the level a false rotation. The planet on the level is reported to only rotate around 270° before turning back around. This causes the strange night lighting, as the sun never fully sets on the level. The level also reportedly has a moon that rotates rapidly around the level. 
==Floating Islands==
Though many skyscrapers in the level are situated above the clouds themselves, some buildings are located on dense, floating cities. These cities move around the level, and are populated by communities. There are three documented floating cities on the level inhabited by wanderers. These islands are identical in shape and size, only being differentiated through the different buildings. There is also a fourth, uninhabitable jungle island.
The four islands are listed below.
===Base Stratosphere===
The first island is known as M.E.G Base Stratosphere. The island is predominantly inhabited by M.E.G members and is open for trade. Base Stratosphere is composed of primarily skyscrapers and research buildings, and is used to research more about Level Υ. Base Stratosphere has around 540 members and is open to accept new members.
===Party Crashers Epsilon Outpost===
The second island is known as the Party Crashers Epsilon Outpost. The island is a private island inhabited by the Party Crashers and is not open for trade. This island is composed of primarily fortifications and barracks, and is used for eliminating Sanguine Festivus victims on the other inhabited islands. Due to high secrecy, not much information is known.
===Backrooms Apartment Island===
The third island is known as The Apartments. This island is a public sanctuary inhabited by thousands of different wanderers throughout the Backrooms. The Apartments are composed of mainly apartment buildings, with a few skyscrapers scattered throughout. The island is open for trade and new members, allowing hospitality for any wanderers. The Apartments are inhabited by 2453 members.
The Apartments follow regular Frontrooms laws such as homicide and theft. They have their own jail, parliament, and function as a regular society. According to their self-proclaimed laws, objects such as Cloud in a Bottle (more on that later) and Liquid Pain are banned.
===Jungle Island===
The fourth island is known as The Jungle. This island is home to jungle trees and many abandoned buildings. The Jungle, despite being located in a completely safe level, is dangerous. The Jungle possesses several species of sharp, sentient vines that will attack wanderers on sight. Due to this, it has been proven that this island is uninhabitable.
==Object Υ: Cloud in a Jar==
Object Epsilon, also known as "Cloud in a Bottle" is an object that can be found commonly throughout Level Υ. The Cloud in a Bottle can be found throughout the level, primarily in cabinets and drawers. The object is found sealed in an indestructible glass jar, topped with a cap or cork. Object Epsilon has a few enigmatic properties. When the "cloud" inside the jar is inhaled, it gives any wanderers or entities around the wanderer a lower gravity, akin to the gravity on Level Υ. 
In many areas with low gravity, the gravity amplifies itself when the cloud is inhaled, allowing wanderers to "fly" around the level. The object also has an interesting property in which wanderers will feel a prolonged sense of happiness. Individuals often feel energetic, similar to a large dose of sugar. 
However, when the effects of the Cloud in a Bottle wear off, wanderers will feel several negative effects to counteract the positive effects of the object. These effects include but are not limited to:
*Severe anxiety
*Depression
*Shortness of breath
*Weakness
And other minor effects, most notably severe tiredness. The effects of the Cloud in a Bottle last around 6 hours. The effects seem to be weaker in the last few hours of the effect, and many wanderers report being tired before the effects fully wear off. The after-effects of the Cloud in a Bottle reportedly last around 12 hours.
==Entrances and Exits==
=== Entrances ===
The only entrance to Level Υ is by finding a door in Level 4 marked "Υ." Going through the door leads to Level Υ. 
=== Exits ===
The only exit to Level Υ is by entering an abandoned building on the Jungle Island. Doing so will transport one to Level Z.
