__NOTOC__
The Monochromatic Abyss is an anomalous level of the Backrooms.
==Description==
The Monochromatic Abyss is a haunting and desolate urban landscape, resembling a ruined wasteland of a city. The entire level is consumed by a monochrome color palette, with buildings, streets, and structures covered in layers of gray and black. The remnants of once-grand architecture, seemingly from the mid 1940s, stands in eerie silence, its crumbling facades and broken windows reflecting a forgotten past. Several streets are strewn with motor vehicles, the majority of them lying on one side or partially embedded in the ground.
The cityscape of this level stretches as far as the eye can see, with destroyed townhouses that cast jagged shadows upon the desolate streets. The air is thick with an unsettling stillness, broken only by the distant sound of echoing footsteps and the occasional gust of wind that carries whispers of forgotten voices.
Within this level, the laws of reality seem to unravel, and the boundaries of space and time blur. Time becomes elusive, with minutes stretching into hours or collapsing into mere seconds, making it difficult to gauge the passage of time accurately.
Additionally, this level exhibits an eerie magnetic anomaly. Compasses and electronic devices are rendered unreliable, their readings fluctuating wildly. Communication equipment suffers from interference, causing distorted transmissions and difficulty in maintaining contact with the outside world.
Walking through the level feels like navigating a labyrinth of twisted, narrow alleyways. The streets are labyrinthine, bending and looping in unexpected ways, making it easy to lose one's sense of direction. Buildings lean precariously, their structures warped and unstable, creating a disorienting and precarious environment.
Additionally, the cityscape is adorned with cryptic graffiti, etched onto the walls of buildings and defaced monuments. These symbols and messages seem to be remnants of a forgotten language, their meanings lost in the infinite depths and thousands of years of history in the backrooms. As one ventures deeper into the level, the graffiti becomes slowly more and more intricate, as if hinting at a hidden narrative or purpose.
Amidst the ruins, there are occasional signs of life, albeit of an unsettling nature. Shadows may dance and flicker in the corners of one's vision, giving the impression of elusive figures lurking just out of sight. Whispers can be heard, whispers that seem to come from no particular direction, their words indistinguishable but laced with an otherworldly melancholy.
It is said that those who spend too much time in this level risk losing their grip on reality, their minds slowly succumbing to the maddening influences of the level. Some claim to have witnessed phantasmal apparitions, ghostly echoes of the city's past, replaying tragic events and moments of despair.
This level is a place of desolation and decay, a haunting testament to a forgotten era. It is a place where time appears to stands still, whilst leaping forward and backwards at the same time, reality begins to bend, and the whispers of the past echo through the silent streets.
Peculiarly, the level also seems to intensify the deterioration of sanity, accelerating its decline. This peculiar effect appears to be triggered by the prominent presence of black, white, and gray hues. 
==Entities==
The Monochromatic Abyss is infested with many entities, lurking within the shadows of the decaying cityscape. These entities manifest as shadowy figures, barely discernible in the perpetual twilight of the level. They are drawn to the lost and disoriented, their presence evoking a sense of unease and paranoia. Crossing paths with these entities can result in unsettling encounters or even direct confrontations, making survival within the level a constant challenge.
Some more notable entities include:
*Hounds
*Smilers
*Skin-Stealers
*Facelings
== Colonies and Outposts ==
Due to the nature of this level, establishing colonies and outposts is highly perilous and thus nearly impossible.
== Entrances and Exits ==
=== Entrances ===
*A party like no other.
*A light in the darkness of nothing.
=== Exits ===
*A staircase of infinity, hidden inside the depths of a building.
*A forever burning building.
