Description
Level DIE takes appearence of an old massive residential building with an infinite amount of floors. The darkness of Level DIE which is similar to Level 6 and Level 9 took lots of territories of Level DIE due to the lights being broken or malfunctioned, although some floors' lights aren't broken or malfunctioned or even have light sources. In any apartments, you can also find various items, such as Almond Water and food.
In all floors, you can search elevators that are out of order but not all of them are out of order. According to wanderer, some of these elevators can lead to Level 3 or Level 4.
