Description
Level 353 is a vast, yet empty concert hall. The lights have been dimmed, and no known sound seems to emit from this level, exception being that sound is made by humans and objects. The concert hall itself seems like a typical, movie-theater performance location that one would picture in their minds.
The concert hall is devoid of any entities or other known life-forms, except you, and The Ballerina. It has been reported that only one person may be present at a time, therefore, it is unknown if multiple people are distributed to multiple versions of this level.
This level has no purpose, except reducing a wanderer’s sanity, producing discomfort, paranoia, and fear. Almond water may help with these effects, and food is consumable in this area.
It’s just you.
The Ballerina
When one enters this level, The Ballerina on the stage will start dancing instantaneously, except that no music or sounds will accompany this action. Furthermore, The Ballerina will always look at you, no matter your current location. This can give a sense of discomfort, dread, and is especially heavy for those with scopophobia. However, The Ballerina will do no harm to you.
The Ballerina appears as one would imagine, a ballerina. It has a feminine figure, with blonde hair in a bun. However, the exception to this seemingly human facade, is the lack of facial features. The only thing that remains is white, glowing orbs in place of eyes.
”You don’t seem alone.”
It has been reported that The Ballerina is able to turn it’s head to a unlimited degree, having been said to rotate it’s head 360 degrees, upside down, and more. As result, it will always watch you.

Entities
•The Ballerina.
Colonies and Outposts
Attempts have been made to establish colonies and outposts. Unfortunately, it has been said that the traits of the level have made it difficult to remain in the level. As inevitably, when one stays too long, it will descend you to insanity.
