Level 797 is the 798th Level of the Backrooms. It is a long forest path that features rock formations with caves and holes that can be entered, often leading to other levels. Information on this level is scarce, given that it has been discovered recently.

Level 797 resembles a rocky mountain path with plenty of vegetation. As mentioned before, there are several rocks around the path, some of which feature holes that can take wanderers to other levels. The forest around the path is dense and remains undocumented. It should be avoided, as to prevent any adverse effects the vegetation may have.

Level 797 isn't infinite, but it is vast, stretching far beyond what the eye can see. Some wanderers have reported that the path seems to shift, though this has yet to be confirmed. Regardless, mapping the level has proven to be a difficult task, but a necessary one for creating a permanent base or outpost on this level.

There is a day and night cycle in this level, similar to that of the Frontrooms. The weather is always cloudy, sometimes with a little fog, wind or rain. Temperatures range from 14-20 degrees Celsius.

Addendum 15/04/2024
Along the main path, a few alternate paths can be found. Not much is known about them. The reports suggest they're usually found deep within the forest or by walking around the main path for a long period of time. These paths, which have been named "Sub-Paths", seem to move around the forest or disappear without a trace. These paths are reportedly very narrow, and rarely, overgrown, which makes access more difficult.

2024? This should not be here…

Addendum 11/01/2032

The Dam is fully operational and powers the various settlements of Level 797, also serving as water supply for irrigation. There are no entities present in the Dam, and it is currently under control of The #$%&#%…

The Dam:

A seemingly abandoned dam that can be accessed by walking along the main path. The entire facility is locked, surrounded by a metal fence, and remains unexplored. As such, it is currently unknown if the dam is operational, if there are any entities or objects present inside, and where the water comes from.

A temporal anomaly… I see. This won’t last long, I apologize for the inconvenience… Seems the Imperfect are up to something again…

The Forest Outpost:

A small, one floor white house, with two rooms, located approximately one kilometer away from the Dam. It has electricity, potable water and working home appliances, as well as a seemingly endless amount of supplies. Among the supplies found were:

• Various types of food, such as nuts, crackers, unbranded chips, and various vegetables.

• Water.

• First-aid equipment.

• Nails and screws.

• Post-it notes.

• Tools.

• Office supplies.

• Musical Instruments

• Drawing material.

The Forest Outpost currently serves as a resting spot for wanderers.

Addendum 2?/11/2031

This building houses Base Albireo, the Cygnus Order's second base.

The Bay:

The Bay is an unconfirmed location that is rumored to be at the end of the path. The M.E.G. is currently investigating this location. We apologize for the lack of information.

Addendum Ʀ/08/2033
A bay located at the end of the path. It's so… nice, here. You can hear the sea crashing into the rocks below, feel the wind blowing in your face… so… peaceful.

Again? Perhaps I adjusted the wrong gear… I can't afford for my work to fall apart.

No entities have been documented on this Level as of now.

Addendum 00/00/ERROR
There's nobody here… thank fuck. Time to make the jump back. I have to put an end to this. If anybody reads this… wish me luck. With this, I can change this desolate future. The Gears of Fate will turn again.

There are no known Bases, Communities or Outposts on this level, but due to its conditions, establishing one is possible. As such, there are various plans for the creation of bases on Level 797.

Addendum 27/06/2031
Base Albireo is the Cygnus Order's second largest base, housing an unknown number of members. It is located on the Forest Outpost.
The Cygnus Order will provide shelter and supplies to any wanderers.

Nuts and bolts! Why isn't it working? Did I miscalculate? Wrong cog? Too much pressure on the pistons? Where's that guilty gear… This should do the trick… I've had enough of this interference.

You're out of time…

One day we'll explore it all. Just you and me! We can draw maps, and camp, and tell stories around the campfire… like in the old times! I'll be waiting for you!

Ah. A forgotten future. Nothing I cannot fix.

Entrances:

Now is not the time… tick-tock, tick-tock…
