Description

Press Start is a fully black room with nothing but a singular Arcade Machine. Upon being started up, the Arcade Machine will load a random unknown game that is not from the Frontrooms. It is usually an escape game, but sometimes it will be a game where you have to find and save someone or fight enemies. You will get 3 lives. If you win the game, the machine will disappear and you'll wake up in a level listed in the Exits.

It is to be noted that only 48% of people that completed the game were transported to Level 3999, and the rest were transported to another level. It's not advised to attempt to noclip into this level. Any mentions of this level will be edited by one of Entity 555 to make it seem safer, but this level is very mysterious and many things are still unknown about it, but hey! At least you're safe from dangerous entities!

Game Paused

It's alright! Go ahead and pause the game. Sit on the couch until you're ready to play again.

The "Game Paused" Room is a room within the level that you get teleported to when you pause the game. It takes the appearance of a regular waiting room, and there is a table with magazines and a bottle of Almond Water, however there is only one bottle and you cannot stay here forever. The supplies you bring to Press Start will be left in the main room of the level. Don't attempt to noclip them into this room because it's considered cheating.

There was once a confirmed rumor that noclipping into the couch would lead to the level you go to when you win, however Entity 555 quickly found out about this. Noclipping into the couch will now lead to the place that cheaters go to.

Colonies and Outposts

The Mari-bros

  • 20 members
  • Helps people beat the game
  • Banishes the cheaters if Entity 555 isn't present
  • Willing to trade Almond Water for electronics

Note: It is unknown how the Mari-bros made a Colony here because only one person should be able to be here at a time aside from Entity 555. It is suspected that they are also Entities, but this is unconfirmed.

Entrances and Exits

Entrances

  • Playing an arcade machine in Level 3999 and losing will probably transport you here. This will most likely happen if you're deemed evil.
  • Noclipping into any electronic screen will send you here.
  • Entering a door labeled "Storage" in The Server Room will send you here.
  • Playing games while driving in Level -92 will teleport you here.
  • If you were sent to Level -177 by Kill Streak Kim, a map will appear in your hands with directions to this level, but you might not make it.
  • Entering a door labeled "Arcade" in Level -93 will lead you here. This is highly recommended because of the dangerous properties Level -93 has.
  • Entering a door with an Arcade Machine Symbol on it in Level 0.6 will lead you here.
  • Finding a hidden arcade within The Barrier and starting it up will teleport you here.

Exits

  • If you beat the game, You Win!
  • Remember! If you lose all 3 lives, its Game Over!
  • No cheating~ Nobody likes a cheater! If you cheat, there's a punishment..
  • If you don't want to play, that's okay.. There should be an exit door here somewhere, but you'll end up in a dangerous place..
  • I swear to god, do NOT ask for the Gameshow to be added to here. WE WILL NOT DO IT!
  • Did I forget to mention about somewhere else you can go? It is a place for completionists you see, my game is more then just what you see on screen. Say, if you we're to complete every single achievement, challenge, beat my game 100%, I might be generous enough to take you to the space you miss.
