Description

Level ϕ, also spelt as Level Phi, consists of an expansive, flooded cave system. Level ϕ's water temperature can range from temperate to extremely cold, reaching temperatures at around -10°C (14°F). Despite reaching such low temperatures, the water in Level ϕ doesn't seem to freeze at all. A viscous, dark, indigo-colored liquid, known as Object 58, leaks out of various holes in Level ϕ. Rendering glitches can be found throughout this level, which could make some areas invisible. This effect also seems to affect entities. Large openings in the ceiling of Level ϕ lets in large amount of light, which seems to repel entities and neutralize the effects of Object 58. Overhangs can be found in these areas.

Wranglers^wd, Smilers, Insanities, Sark Crabs^wd, and Death Moths are known to reside in this level. Strands of Entity 19 are said to be in this level, but this is currently unconfirmed. This level is also known to contain it's own level-exclusive entity, known as Sporeoclams.
