Level 356

__NOTOC__
=Level 356: "Silent Flats"=
Level 356 is the 357th level of the Backrooms.
==Description==
Recorded ambience of Level 356.
Level 356, also referred to as "Silent Flats", is a massive, though not endless, arctic wasteland with repetitive old brick buildings scattered throughout the entire level, creating a familiar but strange feeling. In the confines of the flats, one may come across distressed or fractured furnishings reminiscent of the Soviet era. These pieces of furniture have the potential to house arachnid creatures similar to those found in The Frontrooms, some of which may be venomous, thereby requiring wanderers to always stay alert. One is able to discover Moth Jelly jars and Almond Water bottles in the kitchens. However, it is important to note that these resources are scarce and only appear in rare occasions.
Level 356 appears to be locked in a permanent winter, and the temperature range typically falls between -30 °C and -50 °C, making it one of the coldest levels in the Backrooms. The place is also shrouded in clouds, further adding to its eerie and desolate atmosphere. The area is prone to frequent snowstorms that can reduce visibility to almost nothing, making exploration even more treacherous. Some wanderers have reported seeing a large, white, unidentified entity that roams the level during blizzards. This being is described as a humanoid shape that moves through the snow, but its nature and existence remain unknown, this creature is colloquially referred to as "The Yeti". Wanderers must be well-equipped with appropriate clothing and gear to cope with the extreme weather conditions.
According to estimates, approximately 3 in every 20 buildings in Level 356 are infested by Death Moths, which poses a significant threat to wanderers exploring this level. The presence of these entities makes the edifices significantly more dangerous, especially during snowstorms when wanderers need to shelter quickly. There is always the risk of unknowingly entering an infested structure and suffering deadly consequences. Therefore, wanderers must exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough inspections before entering any building. 
The day in Level 356 lasts a mere 6 hours, while the night stretches for 8, forcing wanderers to sleep more frequently. Additionally, compasses fail to work, and the sun remains obscured by the clouds, making orientation difficult. In this level, the exits vary depending on the direction taken. However, wanderers can rely on the constant eastward wind to facilitate navigation.
