Description[]
Level 402, otherwise known as Biota Beach, is a small beach of about 25 square kilometers in size (excluding the sea). The sea of Level 402 appears to be infinite, however it has been found to simply loop after a predetermined length, which differs for every wanderer. The level has a constant breeze which flows through, with the level sitting at a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius room temperature at night, however temperatures can rise to as high as 50 degrees Celsius during peak sunlight, causing dehydration and heat strokes.
Due to the biohazardous materials found within Level 402, it is not advised to enter unless absolutely necessary. Should wanderers stay for prolonged periods of time within this level, they will begin to experience symptoms similar to pneumonia, though will not actually develop the illness unless remaining in Level 402 for more than a week. The level has a typical day-night cycle, though there are only 20 hours in a day, which is split evenly between the morning and the night. Large tides may suddenly appear during the night, taking away most if not all of the beach. This event typically lasts for an hour, after which the tides will recede and return to normal. This could potentially be dangerous due to the effect of the seawater if ingested.
Opposite the beach is a dense forest roughly 10 square kilometers large, where entities such as Hounds, Smilers and Clumps reside. However, these entities are immune to the various hazards scattered around the level. These variants have been dubbed "Immunitoxi" variants. Immunotoxi-Hounds appear similar to their normal counterpart, but with the exception of emitting a dull white light from their limbs. Immunotoxi-Clumps have legs instead of hands, and Immunotoxi-Smilers are much more passive than their normal counterparts. The trees of the forest are able to be cut down for lumber. A unique property of the wood is that it hardens when soaked in Almond Water long enough. making it ideal for blunt weapons or walls for temporary shelter. Additionally, the Almond Water is still consumable afterwards as the wood does not pollute it. The forest ends abruptly with an indestructible thicket of trees blocks the path of the wanderers.
The Pier[]
The Pier is a long wooden walkway 50 meters in length at the center of the level that extends into the sea. It has various messages carved into the floorboards. These messages include nonsensical sentences, symbols of Greek letters, and several hearts, within them "S+K" is ingrained. The origins of these messages have so far not been discovered.
Biohazards[]
The sea of Level 402 contains various hazardous waste materials such as mercury, ricin, salmonella and E. coli. As such, it is not advised to ingest or even come into contact with the ocean. Along the beach are various concrete structures which also possess biohazardous properties such as paint comprising of cerebrospinal fluid and dyes, which can cause diseases if contacted. However, these structures prove to be a boon to those in Level 402 during periods of harsh sunlight, as long as wanderers refrain from coming into contact with the walls.
Several white, plastic chairs can also be found within Level 402, which are coated in a glue-like substance. This substance has proven to be extremely effective, as most wanderers who sit on these chairs are unable to leave and are required to forsake articles of clothing or even skin to be free. It is unadvised to sit on any chairs present within the level, even if they do not match the description of the glue chairs.
Blood Tides are a rare event which occur within the level. During a Blood Tide event, the sea will be polluted with what seems to be human blood, which will stain clothing and skin if come in contact with. This version of the sea will enter wanderers' bloodstream through the pores of the skin, making it especially hazardous. Blood Tides typically last for a full day before dispersing.
Doortals[]
Doortals are rarely found within Level 402, though can prove to be useful for a quick escape. Doortals are anomalous door frames which lead into other levels. These doors are unable to be viewed from the other level and will seem as though wanderers simply walk in through the walls or even thin air. Doortals only last for roughly 5 hours before turning into sand and crumbling.
Should wanderers be midway through a Doortal when it disappears, it will force them out of Level 402 and into the level behind the Doortal. Doortals come in a variety of shapes and sizes, though they typically appear as a white, black or blue door with a golden knob. Occasionally, a red Doortal will appear. Do not enter these, as they always transport wanderers to The Hive without fail.
Entities[]
Apart from the entities living in the forest, only one other entity has been spotted.
Serena[]
Serena appears as a tan humanoid female with long sandy hair, a wet suit, a blue and black surfboard and a pair of sunglasses. She can typically be found surfing the occasional wave present within the level. She tends to avoid wanderers to "let them do their own thing", however interacts with wanderers she finds interesting. She has refused most interviews, however, has been seen interacting with some wanderers.
Serena seems to be immune to all the hazards present within Level 402, even being observed sitting on the white plastic chairs without issue. Inside of the level, Serena has been noted to possess several abilities, these being:
- Immunity to the numerous biohazards present,
- The power to manifest cans of soda at will,
- Knowledge of all life forms present within Level 402.
