Warning

Any and All Entry into Level 360 is

Highly Unrecommended

The Arched Entrance of Level 360, possibly referring to certain parts of the Washington Cathedral.

Skylit section of Level 360, with its light source presumed to be overcast.

No Further Rescue Initiatives will be undertaken by the M.E.G. within the Level.

Level 360, also known as ~~The Arched Hallways~~1, presents itself primarily as a series of hallways, inspired mainly by parts of various arched structures from the Frontrooms. After further analysis, most photographs reported by the M.E.G. Expedition Team depict locations dating from the 1850s up to the 1950s, the most documented among them being structural parts referred to as the Entrance2, resembling constructs taken from what seems to be the Washington Cathedral. The name for this location has been chosen due to it being currently considered by the M.E.G. as the only point of Entrance into Level 360.

The hallways of Level 360 are constructed from various materials, including but not limited to marble, limestone, dark brick, and oxidized metal. Each segment appears to have been carved out or sectioned off from different structures, often with mismatched widths, ceiling heights, and color temperatures. Despite these inconsistencies, the material transitions appear seamlessly merged. Many sections are skylit, with arched glass ceilings resembling stained or clouded glasswork.

However, no light source is ever directly visible. The ambient lighting changes coloration slowly, from warm amber to dusky blue — always locked in sunset or overcast tones, with no consistent correlation to time or observable day-night cycles3. In some accounts, the same hallway would be bright on one pass and nearly unlit on the next, despite no actual displacement on the wanderer's part.

First Contact

The Level first came to attention through scattered reports by solo wanderers navigating the deeper sectors of Level 5. Individuals having descended flights of stairs in Level 5 and the Promethean Library reported having no-clipped into Level 360, after reaching a part with distinct archway patterns. Walking beneath rusted archways has also been reported as a probable entrance condition.

The first individual to be officially recorded exiting Level 360 was E. Halstow, who arrived at Outpost Housekeeping in a state of incoherent terror, muttering multilingual fragments and repeating:

“Not a place. Never was. It’s time. Time is dying. Le Temps Meurt ”4

His state continued to deteriorate over the span of the following hour, primarily considered as being a result of extreme physical and mental fatigue. He soon succumbed to heart failure. Autopsy revealed that the true nature of his condition was tied to severe neural degradation and tissue decay, among other factors comparable with advanced internal aging, despite being in his 30s, judging from his external appearance.

Early Mapping Attempts

Following Halstow's death, independent explorers and contracted M.E.G. affiliates attempted to enter and chart the Level, upon the request of the Outpost. Of the 11 known individuals, only three returned.

Two were catatonic or entirely nonverbal. The third, Elias Torem, a former renowned Level 11 cartographer, submitted a fragmented and partially burned field notebook. Notable entries include:

The arches remember where you were. Don't you remember them?
‎
Stairs go somewhere else if you think about falling.
‎
I turned right four times. I found a version of me who hadn't.

Torem died seventy-two hours later from foreign body airway obstruction. Prior to the fact, he began bandaging his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth with his own clothes before forcefully stuffing his airways, resulting in his death. During said period, he was constantly mumbling lines from his notebook and citing a single phrase at the end of each line: They told me. They've shown me. The Truth. Destiny itself.5

Recorded Anomalies

Further on, a few independent group expeditions were issued to prepare for an official M.E.G. personnel dispatch. All surviving accounts referenced non-Euclidean geometry6, psychic and supposed non-linear Time Effects. Commonly described phenomena include:

Impossible Architecture – Structures like Penrose Stairs: endless loops that always return Wanderers to their entry point, trapping them in place;
Spatial Shifts – Breaks in the loop where the architecture redirects Wanderers to distant, unfamiliar areas instead of back to the entrance;
Screams – Echoes from all directions, often in the Wanderer's own voice or that of someone close, described as "resonating through cracks in the timeline";
Whispers and Whimpers – Intimate voices revealing hidden fears or unknown memories, sometimes exposing deeply personal secrets never shared before;
Memory Loss – Sudden cognitive blanks with symptoms like nosebleeds; Wanderers know something happened but can’t recall what;

These effects intensify as one ventures deeper and further interacts with said, non-Euclidean spatial constructs.

M.E.G. Expedition: Team 36

A full expedition was commissioned shortly after—M.E.G Exploration Team 36, composed of six experienced field agents, including time distortion specialists and geometers. Equipped with numerous pieces of precision equipment, but most importantly, top-notch safety equipment, such as Locator Beacons, Linkage Wiring and an Advanced Transmitter, as well as resources for the Team to last 2 weeks.

Only a single member of Team 36 managed to survive long enough to report back:

Expedition Team Member K. Roslin was discovered crawling near a defunct elevator shaft on Level 5. He was found bloodied and delirious, with the blood on his forehead determined to be originating from self-inflicted damage. In this state, Roslin was only able to repeat fragments of what later became the first verified terminology surrounding the Sighting Events and the entities now dubbed Time Wraiths:

“They came after the Sighting. They don't kill you… they correct Time, and you along with it.”
“Half the team was gone after a single Scream. The others walked into themselves and never came out.”

Roslin’s recovered field notes included several details about Level 360's architecture:
- Hallways rearranged while being watched.
- Arches shifted depth based on emotional state.
- They've had a Sighting of themselves in the distance, blurred out of shape.
- No reflections showed movement — they only stared back, silently.

After his return, Roslin was placed under observation. An attempted interview was recorded and is referenced further within the document as Log 360-K. Prior to his demise, he drew erratically, often sketching corridors with impossible curves, doorways within doorways (Probably referencing instances of impossible architecture within the Level), complex fractals, and repeated imagery of his own silhouette dissolving.

He took his own life four days later, after escaping surveillance. His final journal entry reads:

“The Wraiths aren’t what kill you. They just remind you of your own Destiny.”7

Sightings

After further correlation of statements from Expedition Member K. Roslin and multiple explorers beforehand, a certain pattern of events was confirmed and is now classified as Sightings:

Brief, often distant glimpses of themselves, or people they once were, walking through the arches or down distant stairways. The figure is always quiet. Always alone. Always Watching.

Initial M.E.G. records presumed these to be hallucinations or "echoes in time", as suggested by most accounts. However, repeated reports across unrelated survivors have confirmed the phenomenon is real and observable.
Roslin's report first connected Sightings to Time Wraith activity, stating that after a Sighting occurred, a Wraith would soon follow and remove the affected person from the timeline.

As of now, that observation is the leading theory on the disappearance of most of the members of M.E.G Expedition Team 36 and is considered to be by far the biggest threat within the Level.

Future Level-Related Initiatives

Due to the reported neural, physical, temporal, and spatial anomalies within the Level, any and all future Level-related initiatives have been disbanded, and any exploration of the Level or interactions with subjects coming out of the Level are highly unrecommended and are to be avoided entirely if possible.

Guide for Survival

If you happen to stumble upon the Entrance of the Level and subsequently enter Level 360, it is recommended to stay absolutely calm, not react to any external stimuli, and follow a straight path trying to find a way back, without ever exiting the Entrance area. Further on, any item us8

Recorded Entrances and Exits

Level 5 - "Terror Hotel"

Level 5.3 - "Promethean Library"

Other Entrances

Level 922 - "The Escherian Stairwell" (Unconfirmed)

It is theorised that some wanderers ended up in Level 360 after traveling through the infinite expanse of Level 922. Such a supposition arose after certain delirious wanderers mentioned "infinite, never-changing stairs" contrasting with the ever-changing nature of the Level, as described by themselves later on.

Other Exits

Level 95 **- "The Underneath" (Confirmed) (Hazardous?)**

The unfortunate confirmation of the said exit came to be through a report published by a small group of M.E.G Explorers: a lost Expedition 36 Member found dead in one of the protrusions inside a wall in Level 95. The subject's face was severely mutilated, making the identification particularly hard, but after further analysis, the subject was determined to be Expedition Member Andrew Bono. The processes of no-clipping from Level 360 into Level 95 still unknown, it remains unrecommended to search for a said no-clip zone if it implies exiting the aforementioned Entrance area.

[BEGIN LOG]

Dr. Barns:
Mr. Roslin, do you hear me?

K. Roslin:
Please, no, I saw too much… [sighs] I saw Time itself.

[Turns and stares blankly into the eyes of Dr. Norrin.]

Dr. Barns
[Approaches Roslin.]

Hey, everything is fine nobody is going to hurt you here. We just want to ask a few questions, and we will let you go.

K. Roslin
[Diverts his gaze onto Dr. Barns.]

[silent]

Dr. Norrin
God. What the hell could he have seen? What the hell even happened in there?

Dr. Barns
[To Roslin.]

First, a simple question: do you hear and understand me?

K. Roslin
I don't kno— Yes, I do.

Dr. Barns
Good. Dr. Norrin here is going to ask you a few more very simple questions. Take as much time as you need to respond to them.

Dr. Norrin
[Approaches Roslin.]

Right. What did you see?

K. Roslin
[Breaks down, hands on head.]

Dr. Barns
[To Dr. Norrin.]

Please refrain from asking direct questions. This can bring him to an edg—

K. Roslin
Wait.. I see.. [pause] Rooms shifting beyond my sight. Nonexistent corridors. Emptiness of the Void. Myself, staring back. Watching. Judging my Time in this world. Then- Ghast and- Death, My Death.

[Begins crying; breaks down again.]

Dr. Norrin
[Steps back.]

Dr. Barns
Calm down, everything is fine you just stepped into a gray area. Follow my voice and come back to us.

K. Roslin
[Breakdown intensifies.]

Dr. Barns
[sighs] Bring him away, Smith. This interview is done.

Rowan Smith
[Restrains Roslin and gets him out of the interrogation room.]

K. Roslin
Why?! Why Me? WHY?!—
