**Level 7** is the 8th level of the Backrooms.

## Description

**Level 7** is unique in that it is a vast expanse of water that appears to stretch on endlessly.

Nobody thus far has fully explored **Level 7**, but what is currently known is that the first and potentially only "room" of **Level 7** is not flooded and has the usual fluorescent lighting. The room has a thin layer of water on the bottom, and is strangely skewed from the rest of the floor. Anomalously, the single door opens to show the surface of the water from a top-down perspective. The room is seemingly rotated horizontally, but gravity still works to keep one's feet on the floor in the first room. Upon entry, gravity switches to pulling one towards the water and is significantly stronger than regular gravity. The water has been reported to be very cold, and it is generally unadvised to enter it.

The floor of the ocean is made up of carpet hardened by a thick layer of tar above it. There are several skeletons, including several almost-humanoid figures and massive fish. Little else is known about the depths of the waters, aside from the endless expanse of tar and bones.

This level poses a significant barrier to future exploration of Level 8 and onward.

## Entities

**Level 7** is inhabitated by one entity living in the deeper areas of the level, which is the Thing on Level 7. Any previous living things within **Level 7** is theorized to had been wiped out by this single entity.

## Colonies and Outposts

### Guide Outpost 05 (Former)

This research base previously owned by both B.A.S and T.T.G is now abandoned.

#### Pre-Abandonment

* Have 8 B.A.S scientist and 20 T.T.G Guards;
* Main purpose is to study the depth of the 'seafloor', search for exit and/or find The Thing On Level 7;
* Set up a temporal camp near the only room;
* After finding the 'seafloor' seemingly 'infinite' deep and eventually finding a more 'practical' exit, the team gets attacked by robe-wearing attackers (likely TPWG, see above) and retreated through the more 'practical' exit, ending up at level 4 with a sealed, water leaking fire-door;
* Base abandoned.

### Backroom Colonists

A research outpost owned by the group in question that is relatively big. It has currently 40 people guarding it, and it has similar properties to The Floaters previous outpost. While it is pretty recreational, they have sea related equipment to do experiments on the ocean.

### Outpost 207

* Created by the outpost group;
* Relatively friendly;
* Open to trade;
* Base made of random furniture;
* 65 members.

### The Floaters

* Had 23 people;
* Lived in a medium sized outpost with a makeshift swimming pool where they would swim for both fun and for exercise;
* Destroyed;
* Rumored to have been taken by The Thing.

## Entrances and Exits

### Entrances

* Wandering far enough in Level 6;
* going through the crack in the pool in Level 151;
* Attempting to drown yourself in the bathtub in Level 598.

### Exits

* An underwater like a hole located somewhere in the carpeted ocean will lead to Level 8. This was discovered by u/Bart0nius and u/avolded;
* Swimming through the water for an unguaranteed distance may promptly transport one to Level 13;
* Certain locations under the water of the area may lead to Level 37.
