Level 87 : "Hallways of Time" (Trimmed; Open for Rewrite)

Level 87 is the 88th Level of the Backrooms. It was discovered in May of 2004 by an unknown wanderer.

Level 87 consists of hallways which are miles long, similar to Level 21. Each of these hallways has locked doors lining them, and every few miles it is possible to find a table. These will usually have a key on them and less often a bag of potato crisps or Almond Water. Specific types of keys can open specific types of locks. Although they seem to be random, there is a finite number of locks and keys and they are usually color, number, or letter coded. If you see a door with glitter on it, it's our party! =)

The strangest property of this Level is that time seems to be non-linear. Although it is uncommon, wanderers report seeing past or future versions of themselves for a short while before simply disappearing. Interacting with your past or future selves isn't too difficult but can be risky. If you do, it is possible to give your past or future selves items and things to survive. The way paradoxes solve themselves is by creating an infinite time loop that past versions of you are stuck in. Wanderers may see themselves anywhere from 5 minutes to a few years in the past or future. It is advised to be careful in these situations. These time anomalies will not occur all the time.

Be very wary of interacting with past or future selves because they may attempt to harm or kill you. If you end up creating a paradox, for example, killing your past self, the Gearmaker will intervene. What happens to you is unknown so do not attempt to do this.

Due to the nature of this Level, there are no known Bases, Outposts or Communities on this Level.

No known entities have been reported in this Level, and wanderers can seemingly never find other people.

Do:

• Keep looking for an escape.
• Keep opening doors.
• Keep looking for keys, food, and water.

Don't:

• Try to kill or harm your past or future self.
• Waste time.
• Try to interact with another wanderer if you see one. They are probably not human and this could lead to unforeseen consequences as it may be a past or future version of an entity.

Day 1

While traversing across [Data Missing], I accidentally no-clipped through a door and I ended up here. This Level seems very similar to Level 21, but there doesn't seem to be a way to open these doors.

Day 4

I have found an [Data Missing] key and I opened the door to it. Strangely enough, the key didn't work after that for the same door. These doors keep leading to longer hallways with more doors. I keep seeing [Data Missing] in the distance, but they vanish before I can interact with them. I am starting to get thirsty.

Day 5

I think I just interacted with myself. He handed me a bottle of Almond Water, then vanished without a word. This is all very confusing. I am growing desperate to leave this place.

Day 11

I have [Data Missing] not found any [Data Missing] while [Data Missing].

Day 3?

I just handed my past self a bottle of water. I am starting to understand that this Level allows me to interact with myself in the future and in the past.

Day 39

These hallways seem endless…

Day 5?

I can't take it anymore. This time thing is really messing with my memories.

Day 84

I have regained a bit of my sanity by, in a stroke of luck, finding three bottles of Almond Water yesterday. I had a pleasant [Data Missing] with my future self, but he said he was from [Data Missing] years in the future, so I will be here for a while.

Day 117

I am starting to think that there is no escape…

Day 48?

I talked to myself [Data Missing] days in the future and he said that I will lose this tablet tomorrow. This will be my final entry.

Entrances

You can sometimes enter this Level by no-clipping through a door on Level 21. Wanderers report entering a random house in Level 9 as an entrance, but this has not been confirmed.

Exits

Rarely, some doors will lead to other Levels. This is the only confirmed way to escape, although some have claimed to no-clip through a door to end up in Level 119.
