Description
One of the many hallways of Level 196
Level 196 may look appealing, but it is strongly not advised to stay in this level for long. Level 196 is a apartment complex that expands infinitely. There is an endless concentration of apartments that vary in size. Some are Studios, 1 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms. And they all feature all the amenities an apartment in The Frontrooms. Each apartment will have windows, although most of the windows only lead to a 20 story interior courtyard. Some will have windows that will appear to lead to the frontrooms with a view that appears to look out from Manhattan. But do not fall for it. As once you enter the trap, you will noclip through the land back to Level 0.
The levels decor seemingly changes every 20 years. Last time this level has changed decor was in 2014. How this level does this is unknown, but one wanderer reported wandering in 2014 and the lights suddenly turning off for approximately 10 seconds. The level then looks brand new once the lights turn back on.
The unlocked apartment rooms are completely safe, and it is advised to stay in them at all times. Food will refill every 24 hours. The supply in the fridge will be the same each time, almond water will come out of the faucets. Wandering has been proven to be dangerous, As the hallways are very unstable and are filled with hostile entities. Most commonly Hounds and Death Moths which infest this level. Clumps are extremely common in tighter hallways. It is ill advised to explore in poorly lit areas as Smilers will infest those sections. Lights will occasionally go out and exploring the hallways for too long Is likely to result in death, so it is recommended to remain in your apartment building. Although unfortunately apartments that are unlocked are sparse and rare. So you will have to wander in the hallways for hours on end before finding one.
There will occasionally be a gym, a fitness center, a lobby, a pool or a computer lab. But often these are traps. The gym will work like normal, but the doors behind you will lock trapping you in. Then the lights around you will shut down and Smilers will come out of the vent to kill you. The pool is filled with a substance that will result in you immediately getting vaporized alive. Public bathrooms can be found and are completely functional. The computer lab will have the same effect as the gym, except all the computers are nonfunctional. The lobbies also have nothing of value. Cafes can also be found attached to the lobbies, but they are completely empty. 20 floor Staircases appear, but each floor will look identical. Elevators will also appear, but they will also only lead to identical floors.
Offices appear but are always locked. Due to everything on this level being indestructible, it is impossible to enter an office
Hazards are also significant and can easily be found, occasionally the floor can collapse below for example, killing an unsuspecting wanderer. Electrical issues in the hallways are also common.
Communities
Due to the extreme danger of the hallways and the limited nature of the apartments. Colonies and outposts are impossible.
Entrances
You can only enter from Level 195 by coming in contact with a moldy wall.
Exits
The only exit is finding a key to the office. Which is proven to be extremely tedious and will require wandering for hours if not days. If you find a key, you enter one of the management offices. Then you will leave the management office, after this you will seamlessly be transported to Level 197 Finding a rainbow colored elevator will take you to Level Fun. Which is not recommended.
