Level 40

## Level 40: "Rockin' Roller Pizza"

### Description:

**Level 40** resembles a mid-to-late 1980s arcade with the various games and media you would expect in that time period. From the many signs placed around **Level 40**, it seems to be called "Rockin' Roller Pizza!". The level itself holds some intricate designs and patterns on the numerous surfaces such as a dark blue neon carpet flooring and concrete walls, both of which are covered in graphics of planets and stars, which resembles a flow with a few spaceships and spacemen.

Vending machines and other food dispensers are present within **Level 40** containing a selection of various snacks and other consumables. Although Almond Water hasn't been seen within the level. The quality of the food seems to be fairly fresh and safe to consume. However, such foods is covered in a dressing known as "General Starflare's Universal Sauce". The sauce itself has a lime green glow, and contains many shiny star-like specks. Current advertisements shown within **Level 40** from posters and TV commercials claim the sauce can imitate the taste of any food product, hence the name 'Universal'. This substance is undergoing research at the current moment due to the fact that countless people who have consumed it seem to believe that they are a space cadet in 'General Starflare's Space Core'. More info will be released soon. In the meantime, we advise not to create any attempts to try this special sauce. The many vending and arcade machines can hold a paper sign with "Out Of Order" written on them presumably in black sharpie.

Multiple TV stations are set up around **Level 40** which contain many commercials for various items that seem to be random and unbelievable. These commercials that have been recorded go as follows:

There were many more advertisements recorded, but most were either completely unintelligible, or corrupted beyond repair. There are also many other advertisements that are not recorded and can be seen in **Level 40** and various other levels.

The rest of the level includes many arcade machines with various games from the 80s era. All are functional and mostly playable. Some are popular games from the Frontrooms such as:

* Rampage
* Blasteroids
* Space Invaders
* Defender
* Robotron: 2084
* Joust
* Gauntlet II
* And many more.

An arcade machine that isn't present from the Frontrooms, but seen here is "General Starflare: Wild Space" which has game tasks and mechanics that resemble the Frontrooms game 'Pokémon' as you have to capture other lifeforms in a ring-like device that allows you to use them in battle against foes. Once far enough into the game, the surroundings don't seem to work, and eventually the user completely disappears instantly without a trace. It is advised to avoid this game at all costs. Numerous versions of arcade machines similar to this have been recorded, however, they have very little information.

Due to this, all studies on these anomalous games have been halted until further notice.

Multiple arcade cabinets are seemingly being used by a strange force referenced as 'Customers'. This force seems to be intelligent while playing the various arcade games, completing the tasks that the game are programmed with. Some were even able to cheat using different kinds of bugs and exploits. When a Wanderer tries to make contact with an arcade machine in use by the customers, the Wanderer will feel woozy before passing out for a few hours. Wanderers then reawaken within **Level 40** seemingly fine. It is not suggested to interact with the arcade machines that are in use. Some of these arcade machines are being used by Facelings that posses the 11 Effect. Interacting with them won't cause any harm but it is still not suggested. No other common entities seem to appear here.

Wi-Fi is absent in **Level 40** which makes sense for the era the level is contained in. On occasion, classic 80s pop music can be heard overhead with various popular songs. Sounds of human chatter and children playing the many arcade games can be heard throughout **Level 40** underneath the constant noise of arcade machines. The smell of low-quality pizza and flat soda constantly will fill the air while wandering throughout **Level 40**.

If venturing far enough you may reach a bowling alley. This bowling alley has the same aesthetic as the rest of **Level 40**. Tables of food can be found within this area, most containing the special sauce as mentioned previously. Some of the foods randomly disappear via the customers consuming the substances. The alleys themselves work as intended and can be played normally. The leaderboards of such games will show multiple users with random amounts of numbers and letters. Some flow off screen due to the names being very long.

Traveling further will bring one to either more parts of the arcade halls, or a small office-like hallway containing two bathrooms for male and female and an "Employees Only" section which is contained behind a wooden door. The bathrooms work as normal, and the wooden door can lead to Level 0 or a small break room. This room has sticky moist black carpet and the same blue walls as the rest of **Level 40** although it is missing the spac-like designs. The objects within this room are very scarce containing old IBM PCs on the top of a few desks, vending machines, and two tables with chairs. Another door containing the "Stockroom" can be found which will lead to a small pantry-like area filled with toys and food substances which are all in horrible condition. Currently it is believed that this room is a dead end.

Th furthest area is an exit hall with a revolving door. Entering this door will lead to either Level 9, Level 10 or Level 11 depending where you grew up in the Frontrooms. It is unknown if there are any more levels contained within this exit.

A small reception desk can be found when wandering **Level 40**. A tall and elongated humanoid entity is found there known as 'Pat'. This entity is safe and enjoys conversations with people. He wears a small baseball cap, and a light blue employee's buttoned-up shirt. Even though his speech is fairly slow, he is very intelligent. He has four arms and uses them to do multiple taks.

### Colonies and Outposts:

There is a few groups that live on **Level 40** as the level itself isn't much of a danger. However, be wary of some groups within this level. Here are the most notable ones.

#### B.N.T.G. Level 40 Resource Outpost:

* An Outpost created by The B.N.T.G. to harvest the arcade machine's mechanical parts.

* Usually gets raided by The Scramblers.

#### Scrambler Outpost:

* Their members in this specific Outpost seems to consist of five people.
* Very hostile, and will not hesitate to rob you.
* Usually use the arcade machine to create armor and weaponry.
* Can be bribed on rare occasions.

#### General Starflare's Space Cadets:
