A common starting point in Level 451. Photographer presumed lost.
Description
Level 451, similarly to Level 203, is a dimly lit building closely resembling that of a local supermarket. The ceiling tiles are made of a unique kind of asbestos which does not appear to affect the lungs. The walls are built from a mixture of concrete and steel, and the floor's compositional properties have not been identified. The fluorescent lights that frequently appear within Level 451 do not work, making the refrigerated food aisles the only source of light. Most foods contained within Level 451 are completely inedible, aside from a small shelf that appears at random (what Wanderers call "the Sanctuary").
A few records from Level 451 suggest that it is non-Euclidean in nature [See Journal Log #14], thus its exact area is unmeasurable. Many Wanderers coming from Level 451 have advised not to wander too far from your starting point, otherwise you'll quickly get lost.
Only one entity has been confirmed to reside in Level 451. When a Wanderer is transported to this level, an exact copy of themselves is manifested elsewhere in the level. Wanderers call these entities "Unwanderers".
Unwanderers
Unwanderers. as mentioned above, are copies of Wanderers who find their way into Level 451. Once an Unwanderer appears, it never disappears. Sometimes, Unwanderers have slight inaccuracies or differences from their counterpart. These can include height, limb length, or head size. These entities also possess a variety of supernatural abilities, such as:
- Duplication - Unwanderers can duplicate themselves at will, mainly to gain the trust of multiple people at once and/or terrify an unsuspecting Wanderer. After its intended use is fulfilled, a duplicate will simply disappear without a trace. Only three confirmed instances of duplication have been documented.
- Echoing - When an Unwanderer gains the trust of a Wanderer, it will begin to use phrases that would otherwise be mundane or uninteresting to a common Wanderer in a way that would make one break down in fear or terror. The effect stops after the victim is unresponsive or another Wanderer intervenes. The most common phrase this effect manifests under is "Did you bring the grocery list?". It is unknown at this time if the phrases used have anything to do with a Wanderer's personal experiences.
There is a popular theory which states that before Unwanderers become Unwanderers, they are free spirits roaming Level 451. They are very possessive, and do not want any being trespassing into their "land". However, they can not interact with their surroundings, due to not having any existent matter. This can explain why Unwanderers appear to be extremely aggressive towards Wanderers.
FINAL NOTE: If you find someone you suspect to be an Unwanderer, do not hesitate to run away or hide.
Colonies and Outposts
NOTICE: Due to the nature of Level 451, colonies and outposts are unable to be established.
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
- Sleeping in any Class 0 level for longer than 10 hours can transport you here.
- A popular theory claims that a small crawlspace within Level 20 can bring you to this level. However, this theory is almost completely unreliable as there is no way of knowing where this crawlspace might be.
- Other theories suggest an entrance to Level 451 may exist in The Frontrooms.
- One report says the land founded by the Vatican City contains an entrance.
- Another report says there is an entrance within one of the countries in Section 2 (known to Frontrooms residents as North America).
Exits
- A large door labeled "EMPLOYEES ONLY" can be found in random spots. It is connected to a wooden room, about 1.5 sq. meters in area. This room acts as an elevator that can take you to a random level, most commonly Level 0.
