Level 7

**"Eternal Tides"**

**SURVIVAL DIFFICULTY:** **CLASS 3 - VERY HOSTILE**

**>UNSAFE**

**>UNSECURE**

**>ONE SOLO ENTITY**

**Level 7** is the 8th level of the backrooms, and takes the form of an infinite sea.

## Description

**Level 7** appears to be an infinitely large ocean resembling that of one from the real world, although it does have plenty of anomalous properties. Once a wanderer enters the level, they will always find themselves inside of a wooden boat with a pair of paddles and a minimal amount of supplies like a few bottles of almond water and some torn rags. The primary "goal" of the level is to row the boat across the ocean until an exit is found. Below the frigid waters lies an endless and voidlike abyss below, with seemingly no bottom to it. Several anomalous properties are present on this level, with them being listed below.

* You may retain oxygen in your lungs for incredibly long periods of time, up to about 60-120 minutes at a time when your breath is held.
* The water is unnaturally cold, with it being kept at a not-so-cozy 0 degrees Fahrenheit. (-17.7778 degrees Celsius)
* The level does have a day and night cycle, however once the sun and moon are interestingly switched although the level is still illuminated, and the sun glows very dimly, just enough to make it's presence known in the sky.
* The depths of the ocean seem to be infinitely deep, with the furthest recorded depth being that of 500 miles, and yet still nothing was found.
* Almost all water pressure is seemingly nonexistent on this level, with it only starting to get minimally harsh at about 460 miles in.
* It is impossible to encounter any other human life on this level, some have speculated it is due to it's immense size, although some speculate that it is another anomalous property of the level.
* Despite the seemingly infinite depths, at about 600 miles out spires of an unknown orange rock can be seen sprouting out of the water forming small platforms, although these are very rare and spaced apart.

## Entities

### The Thing on Level 7/"Tiny"

There is only one known entity that lives on **Level 7**, known as "The Thing on Level 7", just "The Thing" or "Tiny". (Although it is anything but) It appears to be a pale, 5km long leviathan that lives around 100 miles down into the depths, although it has been known to travel near the surface in multiple instances. It has a large mouth with an underbite and tons of needle-like teeth on the inside of it. It has no visible eyes, although it is known to be able to see. Several fins line it's body that it uses for swimming. The lack of any other known life within the ocean has led many to speculate that it has killed off any other life left and feeds on unfortunate wanderers.

## Objects

No objects have ever been found on this level aside from the random objects found on the boats that wanderers end up in upon entrance with it only usually consisting of some Almond Water, random food scraps and in one instance a soggy Ex. Energy Bar.

## Bases and Outposts

There are no possible bases and outposts one can establish here.

## Entrances and Exits

### Entrances

* Within Level 6, all one must do is find a wooden door with ocean sounds coming from behind it and enter it.

### Exits

* There is only one known method of escape, with that being at about 800-1000 miles out a spire of rock with a cave on it can be found, entering the cave takes you to Level 8. A few other rock spires are present by it, including one with a human skeleton on it.
