Description

Level 17 appears to be the insides of a cargo ship spanning hundreds of thousands of kilometers, with a majority of the level being corridors and stairwells. Occasionally, one may come across a flooded hallway, remaining in this flooded hallway will eventually bring you back to Level 7.

While mostly devoid of entities, there is one type which is exclusive to it. Imprints, they look the exact same as those who have previously explored Level 17, and mimic the same exact movements they made throughout the level. While not physically dangerous, looking at an Imprint causes great amounts of distress, and looking one directly in the eyes is able to put you into a comatose state, the cause of which is unknown.

Upon an Imprint reaching the point in which the explorer it's copying either leaves the level, or perishes of unknown cause, they appear to simply fade away, before reappearing at their "entry point" after a period of 24-72 hours.

An upper level of Level 17.

Heading up several flights of stairs will eventually bring you to the "upper" floors of Level 17, while appearing to have glass windows and doors with "light" coming from them, they cannot be opened, nor can they be broken. Being directly in the light emitted by these seems to cause one to begin to suffocate as if underwater, this persists until either out of the light, or until you asphyxiate to death. Along with this, "Windows" are occasionally able to appear here, although they are extremely uncommon.

Heading down the flights of stairs will lead to the cargo hold of the ship. Huge cargo containers span the bottom of Level 17. These cargo containers are usually empty with little inside but with some full seemingly random items. These containers are placed awkwardly in the middle of halls and doorways, blocking some paths. The stairs continue down, but are blocked by a gigantic cargo container.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

  • You can enter this level if you stay in Level -3 for a period of 4-5 days.
  • Leaving through Level 16's East exit will take you to this level.

Exits

  • Reaching the "top" of the level and simply staring into the sky for a period of 1-2 hours is known to be an exit from Level 17, however, it is unkown where one may end up after doing this.
  • Stand in one of the flooded hallways found within for 2-4 hours. You will be teleported to Level 18, but there is a 0.00001% chance you could be teleported to Level 666666.
