Level -880, also known as "Celsium Forest", is the 880th negative level of the Backrooms.
==Description==
Level -880 is a huge forest covered with snow. The first Area of Level -880 is a huge snow-covered forest with an area of approximately 10,000 km². After entering the level, the ambient temperature will be -12° Celsius, so it is worth stocking up on warm clothes. It is always midday at the level, the sun is not visible due to thick clouds. If you meet a wanderer who, for example, is not dressed in warm clothes when it’s cold or, on the contrary, wears them when it’s hot, then do not approach him and run in the opposite direction, as this could be a Skin-Stealer. But if this person is wearing a red checkered shirt then there is nothing to worry about.
In the very center of the forest there is a red hut on the shore of a lake, inside of which there are two shelves with Almond Water and Firesalt, one bed and an old non-working TV. Upon entering the hut, any recording device fails for some unknown reason. When leaving the room, the device will resume operation again. Although the hut is made of wood, it can withstand very strong gusts of wind and snow storms; often wanderers or explorers hid in it when they were overtaken by heavy snowfall.
The owner of the hut is a certain Forester, who occasionally goes into the forest for an indefinite period of time. If you enter the hut without his knowledge, upon return he will kill you and throw your corpse into the lake.
The main feature of this level is that every 20-35 minutes the ambient temperature changes sharply in the range from -50° to 65° Celsius. However, for unknown reasons, the snow does not melt when the temperature changes. According to some studies, this “snow” is frozen crystals of Almond Water, but drinking melted snow is not recommended because it can lead to food poisoning and, most likely, death. If you try to plunge into the snow to cool down during the heat, it will not help because the snow also changes the temperature and you will die faster this way. Also, the liquid in the river, even in extreme conditions, remains quite normal for being in it; this liquid is not suitable for drinking. The depth of the river has not yet been precisely determined, but according to rough estimates, its depth varies from 2 to 9 meters. 
There may still be caves at the level, the entrance to which is often blocked with snow, but it is not recommended to enter them without a light source, otherwise you may crash without noticing the cliff or something even worse. A cave can be a good shelter for a while, because temperature changes here don’t always reach here, but it’s a shelter for a while, since regularly every 18 hours a heavy snowfall begins to fall, which lasts for several hours, it can fill up the cave and you simply won’t be able to get out of it. Despite the fact that there is most often complete silence on the level, even when there is no wind, wind sounds will be heard on the level, the origin of which is precisely unknown.
Also safe places are:
*Forester's Hut
*Border between regions
== Ice Expanses==
Not much is known about this area of the level.
Ice Expanses is the second area of Level -880, it is a large ocean covered in ice and snow, the area is unspecified. Walking on ice is dangerous due to the fact that the ice in some places is very fragile; falling under the ice will result in frostbite and then death. There are no temperature changes here, and the lighting also changes from a cloudy sky to aqua blue. When entering this area of the level, the temperature becomes lower than the standard temperature of the first area, namely -22° Celsius.
Therefore, a long stay on the Ice Expanses can be life-threatening and it is worth staying in the forest or on the border of two zones. Also, in theory, you can remain living on the ice, although the problem is the lack of food or at least the feeling that at any moment you can't fall through the ice. One of the advantages of this place is that it never snows in this area, which can greatly facilitate movement.
==Entities==
Level -880 is almost devoid of entities, with the exception the occasional Skin-Stealers. According to rumors, one wanderer claimed to have seen the Smiler in a cave, although this information has not been conclusively confirmed since this person could be on the verge of losing his sanity. 
But the level has one entity exclusive to it: 
*The Forester is an entity that looks like a 42-year-old man, 6.3 ft tall, wearing a red checkered shirt, jeans, felt boots and a black hat. He is peacefully opposed to wanderers and attacks only in case of danger or theft of his property. Conflict can be avoided if you ask permission to take his things. The forester will speak to you in the language you know best. Most often he is in his hut. He has an easy-going character, which makes it easy to communicate with him. It is not open to trade. The Forester is immortal, he is not afraid of the harsh climatic features of the level, as well as any type of firearms and bladed weapons, even Firesalt is useless against him.
== Colonies and Outposts==
There is one group on the level calling themselves "Icy Humans". The group consists of 6 people, they are located on the border of the first and second areas. They are open to trade, but if you try to cheat them, they will kill you. Best item to exchange with them is the Almond Water.
So far, no other groups or colonies are known.
== Theory==
Sublevel theory
There is a theory that this level has a sublevel, which, according to one of the wanderers, is a forest with an approximate area of 1000 km² in which it is very hot. It almost always rains blood in this forest, but there is no confirmation that it is really blood. Instead of snow, there are pieces of flesh on the trees, and the ground is also covered with it. When you get to a level, you must immediately look for a way out, since due to very heavy rain you can hardly see anything, and the loss of sanity at this level occurs as quickly as possible. The forester turned into a creepy creature consisting of exposed flesh 6 meters high. He doesn’t remember how he got there. But wanderer got out after being in this hell for about 15 minutes. It is not known for sure whether this level actually exists or whether the wanderer has simply gone crazy.
==Entrances and Exits ==
=== Entrances=== 
*It is very rare that there may be a snowstorm in Level 4 windows. Open or break out this window and jump through it.
*Finding and entering the snow-covered hut on Level 11.
*Burying under the snow on Level 202.
=== Exits===
*Diving into the lake near the forester's hut, will take to Level 7.
*Finding a cave and entering it without a light source, there is a small chance to get to Level 8.
*Falling asleep in the Forester's hut with the window open, then when you wake up there will be a chance to get into the The Hub (The reliability of this method has not been fully proven).
