## Description

The first known image of **Level 9**.

**Level 9**, also known as "Darkened Suburbs" is a seemingly endless suburban landscape, with the time of day being locked to midnight. This Level has the same darkness similar to that of Level 6 and Level -100, but not as dangerous. The houses in this level vary in design and size, although there are reports of spotting two houses near each other that are the same.

The houses of **Level 9** appear to be furnished and fairly new, containing items present in typical houses, such as sofas, televisions, beds, refrigerators vast yards containing a wide amount of vegetation. In rare circumstances, some houses have been observed to be entirely void of any of these features, completely barren. Most electronic devices located in the buildings are also nonfunctional, given the absence of a valid power source for the systems to operate. Another anomalous property of this level is that you can find two houses clipped inside of each other when travelling too far, which is physically impossible to happen in The Frontrooms.

The streets of **Level 9** are the most dangerous aspect of this level. The wet-unpainted asphalt roads take on the consistency of quicksand, but should prolonged contact be made with these roads, they will begin to rapidly solidify, suffocating the victim, as they become submerged in the substance. While the stone sidewalks lining the roads don't appear anomalous, one should steer clear of them for risk of slipping into the pavement. Travelling on any sidewalks or walkways that lead to an extensive grass field may result in the Wanderer entering Level 9.1, leaving the walkway to venture into the fields may bring one to Level 10. The streetlamps dotting the level are typically powered off, and inactive, though, some bizarrely flicker despite the absences of power.

**Level 9** hosts a variety of entities with Smilers, Skin-Stealers, Insanities, and Hounds being ever present on the level and the most widely seen and other entities such as Death Moths, clumps, Death Rats, and Lurkersdwelling on this level.

## Colonies and Outposts
