Appearance
Level 961 is an enormous stretch of perfectly manicured grass, with very thick fog. The level is exactly 1,000 square miles. There are small copses of pine trees distributed randomly throughout the level. The official boundaries of it are contained within a wooden fence. Past that fence, there appears to be nothing but fog. If you try to cross the fence, you will come up to an unseen barrier. There are wells full of Almond Water spread evenly (about a square mile between each) throughout the level. A wooden bucket is available at each well to retrieve Almond Water. The wells are said to give off a sense of nostalgia.
Properties
The temperature of this level is around 55° Fahrenheit, or 13° Celsius. Level 961 does not have a day/night cycle. The time seems to be somewhere around dusk. As you explore the level, you may begin to hear whispering coming from beside you. However, when you turn to look, there will be nobody there. The whispering is spoken with a clear voice, but it is in an unknown language. The voice seems familiar, but it is impossible to place. No two humans hear the same voice, although this is not fully confirmed yet, because so few have visited this level.As you reach the edges of this level, you will begin to encounter dark, humanoid beings with few distinguishing features. It is unknown what these entities are. They only speak to those capable of hearing. Nobody has spoken to one yet, and because of this, it has not yet been distinguished whether these are hallucinations. The only known fact regarding these mysterious creatures is that they will not approach you, but you can approach them.
There are no known colonies or outposts on this level.
