How does the game world works?

Besides the world being 'random' it's have a certain patern, for example, on Purist gamemode on level 0 around every 3,000.000m (walking straight) you will find a safe spot (same layout as the start place) with a note, a few random items (Water, food) and a chance to get a rare item such Bedroll, Endless cake etc... after around 13,000.000m (or 3 safe spot) It's an guaranted exit


Purist:
Level 0: Safe spot around every 3,000.000m - Exit after 13,000.000m
Level 1: Safe spot around every 3,250.000~3,500.000m - Exit after 14,000.000m

Escape/Complete a level

The Backrooms: Found Footage contain three Achievements related to escape/complete a level. I'm using Escape/complete because there's two "exit" on this game.

The Exit are a special 'glitched' wall that you can't miss it, besides the game randomly generate the world, it has consistencies. for example, those wall planks will only appear when you are next to a safe place or next to a exit, the game will put planks on the walls behind you so you can't miss these safe place or the exit

How is the exit:

Like i said there's two types of exit. The first one is the one on the video that have the main menu music, when you pass through you will be awarded with a You Survive! message. the Second exit it's the same as the video but have a differente music and when you pass though you will automatic be on the next level, without going back to main menu.

I recommend doing this on Traditional game mode as it is shorter than Purist

The Lobby

Completed Level: 0

Level 0 (The Lobby) is the first level you have unlocked. You don't need to escape, just finding the exit you will unlock this achievement.

Habitable Zone

Completed Level: 1

The Habitable is the second level and you unlock by completing The Lobby, you don't need to escape, just finding the exit you will unlock this achievement.

Pipe Dreams

Completed Level: 2

The Pipe Dreams is the last level and you unlock by completing Habitable Zone, you don't need to escape, just finding the exit you will unlock this achievement.

Enemies

These are all the Achievements related to enemies, you will unlock/found them just by completing the game.

Smile

Encounter a Smiler (Hidden)

Smiler (or Smiley) is that enemy that have a creapy Smile, you will found him for the first time on Level 0 (The Lobby)
Tip: When he appears he make a sound like the Predator and when he close to you he do an "Ahh" sound. Look at him will make him stop running, Run backwards while looking at him, after a while he will disappear

---

Kane

Encounter a Howler (Hidden)

Howler (or Bacteria) is that 'TV' Entity, you can only found him on Level 0 (The Lobby)
Tip: When he appears he make a unique "heavy" sound with tv static, very different from the Smiler, When you hear this sound you should stop running and walk calmly backwards, go back a little the way you came and then take another path. if he saw you, you can consider yourself dead! he is very fast and you will only be able to escape him using energy drink and finding a safe place.

---

Bad Transmission

Encounter a Shade (Hidden)

Shade is a enemy that looks like a smoke, you can found him for the first time on Level 1 (Habitable Zone)
Tip:He's make a "wind" sound, just go to another direction and you are good, if he see you just run from him and he will disappear after a while.

---

Woof

Encounter a Hound (Hidden)

Hound is a enemy that you can only find on Level 2 (Pipe Dreams)
Tip: He make a unique sound, when you hear him sound, he will be on your front, just go backwards and take another corridor. If he found you, just run lol.

Miscellaneous

These are Miscellaneos Achievements, they aren't related to nothing specific

Noclipped

Started your first run

Welcome to the Backrooms!

Your first death

---

Mirage

Encounter.. someone? (Hidden)

As you walk through the level you will find some shadows (In other words you will randomly get this achievement).

---

Stay and rest a while..

Rest in a sleeping bag

You can only do this achievement on Level 0 (The Lobby).

First you need to find a Bedroll, you find it randomly in the safe rooms, which are those rooms that have a table in the center with a tape player (and maybe a document)

With the Bedroll collected, now you need to be lucky enough to find the sleeping places, these places are in dark rooms and you know it spawned because there is a tape player nearby making noise

These locations are seems to spawn more often when you have less than 45 Sanity.

The Bedroll will stay on your inventory until you use it, so just don't worry about it.

Hallucinating/Sanity Achievements

These Achievements are related to low Sanity. When your sanity is below 32 you will start to hallucinate, when you are hallucinating the game will randomly generate a special room, you do NOT need to enter the room, just walking around with low Sanity will make the rooms appear and you will earn the achievement.

Testing on another account, just drinking water from the carpet makes almost all achievements drop

Level: 0/1

The Habitabl Lobby

As you walk through the level you will randomly find a red paper floating between the rooms, You will get the achievement as soon as the paper appears, you don't need to read it.

Rank/Level (Player XP)

These achievements are related to your Rank/Level, they are time consuming since your XP is based on how much you travelled on plus an extra xp for finding the exit (Surviving)

Eg: If you have travelled 250.539m you will get around 2 xp, If you travelled around 1,079.552 you will get 10 xp

Level 0: A good Run surviving (Find the exit) is Around 40 minutes with 13,130.351m on Purist/Level 0 you will get around 230 xp+
Level 1: 14,600.000m (44:17 minutes) is 430+ xp

Each level you increase your status by a few numbers (eg: Level 1 you have 105 Hunger, Level 2 you have 110 Hunger, Level 3 you have 115 Hunger etc...)

You can find your Rank/Level on the right of save screen or at the bottom on main menu.
