Overgrowth Secret Sub-Level: Death Slides and Bacteria Origins

escapethebackrooms.fandom.com

Updated 2025-10-01

Overgrowth is a hidden sub-level that mirrors Level 0’s yellow offices but feels abandoned and hostile. Missing ceiling tiles, graffiti, bacterial deposits, and thin air can knock wanderers unconscious—community lore ties the space to where the Bacteria entity may have first appeared.

Opening the gates. Spawn inside a small structure with three locked gates. Enter the room to the right of the Death Slides; through the glass you see a Bone Thief pit. Pull the lever to unlock all gates.

Disarming slides. Find four unconscious wanderers, carry each to a different Death Slide, and send them down while avoiding roaming Bacteria—hide in wall niches when spotted. Each slide must be disarmed or the fan remains lethal; even a safe slide can dump you near the Bone Thief. After all four are neutralized, ride any slide to reach The Grassrooms.

Loot. Almond Water, Juice, Energy Bars, and Flashlights appear here. Expect multiple Bacteria, one Bone Thief, and harmless Explorers. Hub Mode lists this as an unknown Level 0 sub-level.
