Absalom Station
Absalom Station, the crown jewel of the Pact Worlds, stands as a beacon of civilization amidst the chaos of the galaxy. Yet, beneath its gleaming surface lies a web of intrigue, danger, and ancient secrets waiting to be uncovered.
As you navigate its bustling corridors and shadowy alleys, be prepared to confront the unknown. From clandestine dealings in the lower wards to encounters with enigmatic alien entities, Absalom Station is a place where every corner holds a story, and every shadow may conceal a threat.
The rumors from the alleys are true: the station is not only dangerous due to its tangible threats, but because of the so-called 'ghost levels.' In the context of the Backrooms, these levels are unstable, uncatalogued zones or areas trapped in time loops that defy conventional physical laws.
Here, we unravel the reality behind these legends:
What are they, really? Ghost levels often function as 'Null' zones or 'Temporal Manifestations' -spaces that exist intermittently, trapping travelers in loops or shape-shifting environments. Unlike stable levels, these can vanish entirely, leaving explorers stranded in the void.
The threat of the 'Unexplored': Many of these levels are considered 'Deadzones' or Difficulty Class 5, meaning the environment itself -often composed of mutated biological structures or crumbling architecture- is lethal.
Rumored Ghost Levels:
- Level 68 - 'Empty Void': Represents absolute nothingness, a spatial vacuum.
- Level 0.1 - 'The Danger Zone': An unstable sublevel where geometry shifts and entities like Skin-stealers and Smilers are constant.
- Level ∞ (Infinity): An enigmatic and highly unpredictable level that connects various liminal spaces.
Warning Signs: Rumors suggest that if lighting flickers unusually, hallways stretch infinitely, or ambient sound vanishes, you have likely entered one of these ghost levels.
In conclusion, ghost levels are not just stories to scare rookies; they are spatial anomalies that turn the dangerous station into a shifting, deadly trap.
