Level 877

"Sparse Alleyway"
Level 877, predominantly known as "Sparse Alleyway," is a dense area composed of a sparsely spaced, angular labyrinthine passageway. It is surrounded by rusted metal doors hanging from the ceiling. Cantonese calligraphy appears atop some shuttered entrances, usually translating to things like "supermarket" or "restaurant". The floor is composed of tile-like stone designs, with grass growing on the linings of hard stone tiles. This level's walls are constructed of grey concrete, though the greenish-yellow light illuminating the level makes them appear colored. The dim lamps emitting this light are connected by thin, fragile wires that can pose risk of electrocution. 
There are resources in this area, though their state is often questionable. Wanderers may find stir-fried noodles and boba drinks on tables or seats. Typically, this food will appear half-eaten (by who or what is unclear). Beside the meals are little water bottles and empty bags. Rusted wrenches, crumpled plastic straws, and discarded papers with Teochew handwriting are among the items frequently discovered on the ground. In addition, one may come across Hokkien-language periodicals. There are also a few publications sprinkled throughout with writing in Hakka or Cantonese. 
Auditory anomalies are commonly present within Level 877. Alongside the monotone buzzing of the level's light fixtures, other noises can be heard; these sounds have occasionally been recognized as news reports, soap operas, dial tone noises, and opening or closing garage doors. Even if one stands completely still, the sources of noise seem to move around them, perpetually out of sight. These sounds, among other factors, result in the alleyways of the level posing a threat to one's sanity. Sanity deterioration symptoms within Level 877 come in many forms; phantom pains, hallucinations, anxiety, paranoia, and sudden fatigue are among the most common. 
While most of the metal doors and gates that make up the level's borders are permanently locked, there are exceptions. Occasionally, one may find an open door leading into a much more well lit area. The majority of these rooms are fancy restaurants with green tables and chairs. These rooms differ from the alleyways in that the ceiling possesses rectangular white lights and the floor is covered by a large gray rug. The walls are constructed of white stone, and pictures of complex patterns and traditional Chinese inscriptions are impressively hung around the eateries. The restaurants also contain functional bathrooms.
Rooms may vary in size, as the image shows a rare medium-sized eatery; cramped or small restaurants are more typical. These areas smell strongly of traditional Asian food, and are the only places in the level where fresh cuisine can be found. While ingredient storage in these rooms are empty and no employees are present, there are often one or more meals prepared at a table, steaming hot. 
I was hoping for a safer level. Don't get me wrong, it's not utterly deadly here since there's no entities, but the environment is getting to me. I'm constantly paranoid and it feels like someone is following me. The street food is the only source of relief here, a break from the utter desolation of the alleys and their haunting yellowish-green lights. 
I don't know who makes the food, but I'm grateful for them. Maybe it's the level itself; not out of the question considering everything I've seen here. I haven't had a home-cooked meal since I first entered the Lobby. It's not even close to the same type of food, but the freshness makes me tear up. 
The restaurants themselves can be easy to miss unless their doors are open. Stay alert for the smell of fresh food, and chances are you'll find one. 
Sincerely, 
James 
No entities are present within Level 877. 
=== Alley dwellers ===
* Constantly talk to themselves, proposing nonsense 
* Not open for trading
* Locations constantly changing within the bounds of the level
* Very unfriendly towards wanderers
Due to fresh food only appearing when out of sight and the average portion of said food being enough for only one person, a large-scale, stationary settlement within Level 877 is currently infeasible.

* Finding the corresponding level door's key in The Hub and unlocking it leads to this level.
* Noclipping through an East or Southeast Asian skyscraper in Level 72 leads one here.
* Eating a bowl of stir fried noodles in Level 6.1 may lead you to this level.
* Entering a dimly lit alley in Level 11 leads here.
* Noclipping through the walls of the restaurants leads to Level 909.
* Noclipping through the walls of the alleyway will lead you to The Void.
