Level 9.3 "The Lost Apartments"
Description
An image of Level 9.3's outside fog. Photographer dead after.
Level 9.3 is a seemingly endless expanse of various old apartment buildings, each with different types of trees on their front lawn, such as palm trees, pine trees, etc. Most apartments look the same and have an identical interior of two bedrooms, two bathrooms with a kitchen and a living room.
The level is shrouded in a constant smog, making it impossible to see far out into the distance. Visibility is also reduced on this level due to the strange, asymmetrical day/night cycle of 3 hours of daylight followed by 9 hours of nighttime. Electricity within these apartments shuts on and off randomly, and due to the deteriorating state of the level, almost no supplies can be found here aside from some canned foods and bottles of almond water.
Many apartments on this level are covered in a viscous Black Grime. These apartments are referred to as "infected apartments", and will invariably have a sickly appearance and be completely trashed on the inside, with the carpets ripped up, TVs smashed, tables knocked over and splintered, and the walls covered in a thick layer of grime. These apartments are known to house terrifying entities known as Apartment Crawlers, who are believed by some to emerge from out of the black grime itself.
The number one reason that Level 9.3 is so undocumented is due to the “black grime disease.” If you are in Level 9.3 for too long (approx. 10 minutes), it will start feeling like something is tickling your spine up to the back of your neck. Then, you will start feeling a sort of pain in your skull and temples. If you are to exit the level during that time, you will feel fine after a couple minutes due to what is assumed the black grime not being connected to its “host Apartment Crawler” any more. But, if you stay after feeling the pain in your skull, it is possible that you will be lost forever. We have no clue what happened to the people who have disappeared in Level 9.3, but we assume they become either an Apartment Crawler or what is known as an Apartment Dweller, though that is unconfirmed
Entities
Many entities that are in Level 9.3 have been undocumented, but there are a few that have been spotted, such as
Apartment Crawlers, Apartment Dwellers, Smilers, and possible Skin Stealers, though not many people have seen them.
Colonies and Outposts
None/Unknown
It is currently impossible to stay longer than 10 minutes in Level 9.3 even with gas masks and other equipment.
Entrances and Exits
The Exit door saying to "CAUTION OPEN SLOWLY."
Entrances
- Doors marked with the sign “BIOHAZARD” or any other similar signs in a Level 9 house’s basement will lead here.
- Random run down apartments can be found in Level 10, and when entered transport you to here.
- There is a 50% chance that having a 0, 1 or 2 score in Level 592 will bring you here.
Exits
- Finding a stairwell in any apartment and climbing to the bottom will lead you to a door marked “CAUTION OPEN SLOWLY.” To exit the level, simply open the door very slowly, and you will find yourself in a random Level 9 basement. Do be cautious though, as opening the door too fast will lead to death by Apartment Dwellers. They will drag you into the door, and you will never be seen again.
- Entering an infected apartment and walking into a room with no furniture, when leaving the room, you will wake up in Level -9.3,
- Very little amounts of cars can be found, but entering one of them will make you wake up in Level 69.
