Level 53

Level 53 is the 54th normal level of the backrooms. Part of the Disparate Diamond cluster, studies have shown that Level 53 is indeed a distortion of reality - having been one part of the lush forests to the east of Gensokyo.
The characteristic that sets this level apart from others is that the "ceiling" of this level mirrors the level itself, and if you were to climb into midair, at the midpoint gravity would flip and you'd fall to the "ceiling". The "ceiling" then becomes the "floor", and vice versa. What should be noted is that this level is a "distorted clone", meaning other than the ceiling-floor dynamic, the level is an exact copy of it's frontroom equivalent - the "ceiling", "floor", and the forest it represents are identical in properties, which is why it has retained it's arable soil, hence why the level is habitable. Note that crops can grow and trees can bear fruit on both the ceiling and the floor.
=== Hazards ===
Despite it's habitable status, the level does have many dangers. One of the most significant dangers are the anomalous Purities, purities found outside of their common levels. Unlike levels that have a positive effect on sanity, and as such create purities, these purities are "primordial", which means they have been here since the level's creation, and as an extension of this they cannot leave the level or die. This means that any inhabited areas are ( / would have to be) situated away from their own colonies. Luckily for any prospective coloniser, purities tend not to stray more than 100 metres away from their homes. This is the only known level to have purities that live together and function as a society - but this does not take away their dangerous nature.
The second significant hazard of this level is the vertigo that can be experienced when travelling to the ceiling, which is common. Note that if you cross at an unsafe point, you also risk injury or even death when you hit the ceiling. This has been widely prevented by using ladders that stretch both ways, or using ways to break someone's fall.
