Level 1998: "Starlight Sanctuary"
Description
Level 1998 is a large, crowded floating city that presumably stretches for millions of miles. The city floats in an endless expanse of void that looks like the sky in The Frontrooms, and an extremely starry night when the level turns night. The level follows a 48-hour day-night cycle, and many wanderers claim that it is one of the most safest levels in the Backrooms. Every building is thoroughly furnished, and is isolated or connected on islands made up of purple, crystal like material. The islands are all connected with flat bridges.
Entities
Level 1998's unique entities are passive and very friendly. They would do nothing harmful to the wanderer they are encountering.
Voidlings
Voidlings are bright, starry figures that roam in buildings, and sometimes outside. They can speak every known language (including binary), and would occasionally sprinkle stars as a greeting to nearby wanderers. When this occurs, it may drastically decrease one's sanity level.
Apparitives
Found everywhere outdoors, apparitives are distinct entities that each resemble a different animal from The Frontrooms, in a ghostly but mortal form.
Starflies
Starflies are exceedingly rare, small and fast entities that appear in rooms of large buildings. Catching a Starfly will send you back to The Frontrooms.
Hostile Backrooms entities rarely appear on this level. Entities found here are Hounds, Facelings, Smilers, and Skinstealers. However, when the entity comes near a wanderer, three random things will suddenly happen to it - it will either fly off into the sky, explode, or even noclip through the ground and fall into the void.
Colonies and Outposts
