Level 2040 “Shrouded in darkness”
level 2040 is the 2041st level of the backrooms.
Description
Appearance
Hallways
Level 2040 appears to be a series of grey and/or white brick hallways which lack light and any light sources. The hallways will be long under normal circumstances, usually extending more than 120 feet (36.5 meters). Sometimes, there will be a room branching off a hallway. Hallways also often feature random objects ranging from plastic bags to grandfather clocks.
Rooms
Rooms in the level will be basic, containing very few objects if any. however, In some parts of the level, classrooms or office rooms have been reported instead of the empty basic rooms. Rooms will also be cube shaped, and will be no smaller than 5x5x5 meters and no bigger than 23x23x23 meters.
Elevators
Only image of this level found
Elevators in this level will usually have a dark grey color, and usually appear in hallways distant from any room hallways. Once inside an elevator, you will find that all the numbers on the button will be nonsensical. Once you press a button, you will feel the sensation to be rising, only for the elevator to open back up and show the same environment as before.
Level effects
this level has many various effects on the mind. The few most common to occur to explorers include: nausea, loss of sanity, hopelessness, and paranoia. However, these effects will usually be cured with 3/4 or more cups of Almond Water. studies have also indicated that paranoia is more in effect in people in this level if they have abnormal amounts of nyctophobia (fear of the dark).
Levels anomalies and events
anomalies and events are commonly occurring things in level 2040, but anomalies are less common then events.
Events
Lights on event (occurs every 2 weeks)
during this event, lights will suddenly appear and turn on for about 5 hours. during this time, the level is downgraded to a class 1 and is one of the only times when the level is safe. when the 5 hours are up, glass breaking would be heard all around the level and the lights would disappear without warning.
fog event (occurs every 5 days)
during this event, the level is plunged into fog for an undetermined amount of time. One fog event lasted 39 days! and the shortest was 15 minutes. anyway, the fog event will cause the level to jump to a class 4, as visibility of entities is lower and the amount of entities will rise. After the fog event ends, the level will be damp for the 2 days following.
Code red event (occurs every 1.5 months)
during this event, a voice form an unsourced says “lava flood! This is not a drill! Go to the nearest exit in 60..59..58” and so on. once the counter reaches zero, supersonic speed lava will flood the lava leaving nothing alive. the level will then be “rebuilt” during a course of 3 hours (if you try to enter this level when it’s being rebuilt, you will end up in The Void instead.). Once the level is rebuilt, it will have a completely different layout.
Anomalies (anomalies can happen at any time, and don’t happen again)
