Description

The first image of Level 408.

Level 408 is a small American bathroom, seemingly built in the early 2000s. The faucets and shower are functional but only produce Almond Water, and only for a limited time of twenty-three seconds. Once this timer runs out, the faucets and shower can not be activated for the rest of the day. The temperature in the room is always a frigid 4° Celsius, and only cold water can be run from the faucets and the shower. Level 408 always has at least three different articles of clothing hanging on the coat hangers, normally jackets or coats, but this can vary by producing trousers, shirts and even occasionally hats and socks. These hangers reset every time the hangers do not have somebody looking at them, therefore one may just look away to reset the hangers. These hangers may only be reset three times a day.

Level 408 has one window to the right of the sink, and this window's scenery changes depending on the current time. The only difference between the time of day in Level 408 and the time in the Frontrooms is the fact that the time of day in Level 408 is reversed, meant to realign your sleep schedule to that of a nocturnal animal. It is unknown why.

Level 408's mirror is by far the strangest thing in the room, having multiple strange abilities.

  • Upon first glance, the mirror seems normal, but when one snaps their fingers, they fall unconscious. When they wake up, the mirror will have changed into a black slab, reflecting nothing but the people in the room.
  • Upon looking into the mirror, one will notice one significant thing; that their eyes are now a shade of red.
  • Several people have reported seeing Smilers, Frowners and occasionally Rabids behind them, These entities are not physically there, but a hallucination caused by Level 408.
  • There is one eyewitness report of someone being grabbed by a shadowy arm and dragged into the mirror. It is unclear whether or not this person survived the incident, or if this report is confirmed or not.
  • Upon snapping their fingers, the world around then will fade away, leaving only the mirror. If they focus on the mirror, and only on the mirror, it will suck them in, similar to that of a black hole. This will transport them into Level 408.1, also known as the Fractal Dimension.

Several other anomalies have been discovered about Level 408, but none of the following have been confirmed.

  • One report clearly states that a Death Rat nest can be found below the sink, specifically near the far right cabinet.
  • Another report states that after staying in Level 408 for over three days straight, the scenery through the window will change into a bleak void, with only black nothingness in sight. It is theorized that this is Level 408.1 breaking through into Level 408, though this has not been confirmed.

There are no colonies or outposts established in Level 408.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances:

  • Find and remove a ceiling tile from Level 4 and crawl through it. You will end up in a small ventilation shaft that will lead to a vent in the ceiling of Level 408. Open the vent and you will have arrived.
  • There is a small chance (0.48%) that any bathroom you encounter in any of the office buildings in Level 11 will lead to Level 408, but the door will disappear behind you.

Exits:

  • Get up to the vent in the ceiling and remove it. Begin to make your way through the ventilation shaft in the ceiling, and you will arrive at Level 4.
