## Description

Level 40 is a cluster of interconnected roads and highways. Thick fog permeates the level,
leaving explorers cold and damp as they wander. There is no day or night in Level 40, rather
it is perpetually trapped in darkness with the only source of light being streetlamps and the
various structures found around the level. The only confirmed entities are Smilers and unidentified tall, spider-like creatures that roam the roads. Various motor vehicles have been found on the level, the motors can go up to 100 mph, however they can only be used up for 1 hour before reaching the limit and breaking down. Due to gasoline rarely being present, a motor will most likely never be used again it is used, unless it gets filled up with gas. A gentle, chilly wind flows through the level, and wanderers have reported howling sounds as the wind passes through overpasses and structures. Level 40 is theorized to be infinite as few wanderers have encountered each other outside of the known outposts. The roads of this level are described as a bit wet, with the roads having a concrete smell.
A small amount of vegetation has been reported on Level 40. The plants found thus far have
been classified as poisonous by the M.E.G. as they induce vomiting and stomach pain on those
who have eaten them. They have a horrible taste like "feces" and as such it is recommended to avoid eating the plants entirely. While small plants are rather rare, trees are found fairly commonly throughout the level and are also reportedly inedible.
Active radio frequency signals permeate Level 40. When intercepted with a radio, these
signals produce white noise along with fuzzy-sounding talking that cannot be interpreted.
Wanderers have felt watched while moving down many roads, although some have reported a feeling of comfort. Further, those who reported feeling comforted admitted they were in one of the houses at the time. Most explorers have reported strong feelings of loneliness and isolation as they travel through Level 40. The majority of the level is unexplored as wanderers tend to follow the roads and only leave them to investigate buildings. Those who wander off the beaten path tend to vanish without a trace, it is assumed they got lost or fell prey to an entity. There are several types of structures found on this level with varying uses.

## Notable Structures

### Houses

Some structures on Level 40 resemble houses in The Frontrooms. Some of them are close
enough to appear like a small town, however, they remain vacant. These structures come in
many shapes and sizes and are fully furnished, complete with electricity. Driveways are present in front of most houses and the garage can sometimes contain a vehicle. Sometimes a wanderer may enter a house, and when they exit they will be in a different location than when they entered. They are usually the safest and most reliable way to take refuge on Level 40.
