Description
Level -23 is described as a farmland with an infinite number of farms containing a variety of plants, most of which are wheat fields and almond grain. There is an almond water puddle that is clean and safe to consume. Level 23 contains some areas with abandoned houses and barns. These range in size from large to small. These structures appear to be composed of wood and lack windows and doors. These houses and barns may have some useful supplies such as almond water, foods, hammers, knives, pitchforks, farming tools, etc. Windmills and tractors can also be spotted in the area of these structures.
Random concrete structures, such as a concrete wall, cube, or box, might appear. It is unknown what the purpose of these things is. The paths of Level -23 randomly twist and curve, sometimes forming ineffective loops and curls. This feature of the Level makes Wanderers easily lose their sense of direction. It is advised to not follow the path. However, if you're lucky, you might come across some shops that appear to be a bakery, a restaurant, a normal shop, or a weapon shop. These stores are stocked with useful supplies and always have refills on a regular basis. It is recommended that you stay in these buildings because they are the best source of food and supplies at this level.
This level has no daylight cycle and only appears in the afternoons. There is no sun at this level, and the only light comes from the sky. You can only see a speck of cloud. Even though this level is in the sunshine, the temperature is low. The average temperature at this level is 20 °C (68 °F), however it can drop as low as 0 °C (32 °F). There is a liminal effect that is similar to Level -20, but it is not as strong. If you go deeper into this level, the effect will be amplified. Going further into this level is not suggested; you will notice that the structure will become more uncommon, the temperature will drop, and the level will become weird. The level appears to be dreamcore and weirdcore, according to a wanderer who traveled deep into it.
