## Description

**Level 23** is liminal in nature, it is familiar, yet you can't help but feel alienated by it. **Level 23**'s structure is mainly composed of a neighborhood in a dark, cloudy sky, with dripping water from the heavens, there is no apparent eletricity functional in this point of the Level.

The neighborhood is calm, with a faint cold wind and a rainbow that can be often seen above houses, the grass has a faint smell of mud, and is soft on your feet. **Level 23** has the ability to give off a feeling of nostalgia, and remove all of your accumulated stress. Pitch black humanoids can be seen from the windows, they don't care you're here, they seem happy.

After going inside the room said humanoid was standing in, it seems like he dissapeared like a ghost, like he was never there to being with. You ignore it, thinking it was just your eyes playing tricks with you. After walking long enough, one will encounter a large Power line in the middle of the neightborhood. You follow its sole wire, going off into the distance, after walking for so long, you find yourself in a steppe near a lake, with giant power lines going in a sole direction off into the ever-present fog.

   There are no trees, no food, or any kind of life other than the grass and yourself, the weather is only getting worse, the winds are actually stronger than before, the sky has gotten darker, you can hear distant thunderclaps from the clouds, the dripping water has only gotten faster and there are more of them. Warm clothing is advised up to this point, Anonymous.

At the end of the power line's path, one will find a town, shrouded in a dark sky, with fences on its hills. The town is very similar to the previous neighborhood, except its much larger and has working eletricity. At this point of Level 23, exiting is fairly easy, one can go through a 2-Story building to enter the next Level.

   Within the town, there lies a small playground, where all adults feel like a child again, as if there was not a single thing to worry, do you ever realize how little it takes to make a child happy? That's the feeling of being here, though you cannot stay here forever, the rain only gets worse and worse, eventually becoming a thunderstorm, one of the violent ones, like the one you'd meet within Level 4 or Level 72, we in the Corporation are often astonished by the Levels connecting with eachother, each one being a gateway to another, impossible features being present within said Levels.

You hide in one of the houses, you see as it's structure is chaotic, stairs leading to nowhere, almost dream-like, doors in places where they shouldn't be, atleast, you feel cozy and warm, the TV works, lightbulbs are flickering, the smell of wood all over. You feel at home. You suddenly feel like being watched, you overstayed your welcome, you try getting up from the couch, but you hear footsteps, getting closer, and closer, you pretend to be asleep, you feel someone's warm breathing under your neck as you quiver in fear, after an entire minute, it walks away, you run away to the exit of the house, next thing you know. You're in a completely different place.

## Entrances

One of the entrances to this Level is from Level 22, going through a normal wooden door will lead one here.

Another one of the entrances are from Level 9, staying in a house that stands out from the others for too long will get you to **Level 23**.

## Exits

The only way out is the stay inside a house during a heavy thunderstorm in the town for an unspecified ammount of time, doing so will lead you to Level 24, with the house completely dissapearing behind you.
