## Description

**Level 8**, commonly referred to as the "Abandoned Mineshaft" is, like it’s nickname suggests, an expansive, yet narrow mineshaft that has been long abandoned. **Level 8** stretches, twists and turns in confusing pattern, which makes the level much more difficult to escape. **Level 8** is very damp, with an unidentified liquid gradually flooding the level, continuously pouring from holes in Level 7’s water.

**Level 8** is infamous for both the numerous spider-like entities that inhabit it, and it’s environment. The environment of **Level 8** tends to actively work against wanderers by blocking off their route with mine-carts or massive ravines, having stalagmites fall on wanderers, getting them stuck in a more claustrophobic portion of the level, leaving the wanderer to rot, or by flooding a cave, drowning wanderers. **Level 8** is also very dark; only a few light sources can be found throughout the ceiling of **Level 8**, though these too will go dark after a few minutes of exposure. It is highly recommended to bring a flashlight with you before exploring **Level 8**.

**Level 8** is known for it's proportionately large "bubbles" of air, which they use to float and breathe when water levels exceed them. These bubbles, however, do not have any other role in their life cycle: even the diminutive prey they eat, small worms distressingly similar to leeches, choose to stay outside of the water. This leads some to think that the spiders and their single prey used to be water-borne at some point. We believe due to rising water contamination both species have avoided staying submerged for long periods of time, and have instead adapted to remain entirely on dry land.

## Communities

Small, abandoned camps reside in ruins across the level.

**ASSET-8** is the 9th ASSET of the Backrooms.

## Description

**ASSET-8** seems to be an endless expanse of caverns and active mineshafts frequent. These mines are mining out minerals deep within the level, proving to be a profitable endeavour.

Despite the dangers, **ASSET-8** has been renovated in the 1940's to be a lively environment. Many people live within **ASSET-8**, and the ASSET seems to be an underground metropolis.

## Communities

Communities within **ASSET-8** are Bases 08-A and 08-B. Both are run by The Colonizers.

## Entrances and Exits

Entering **ASSET-8** can be done by entering a reinforced door within ASSET-7.

Exiting can be done by following the map to a wooden frame, which is a portal to ASSET-9.

This archive was written in early 1967, with the settlements being abandoned in 2004. The reason of the abandonment is due to the Infinity Explorers gaining power across the Backrooms.

## Entrances & Exits

### Entrances

Entering a reinforced door in Level 7 will take you here.

### Exits

After wandering around, you may find a steel door. Entering it will take you to Level 9.
