Level 16

'I talked to the group and we came up with a few explanations. This entry is just our theory as to why Level 16 works like this. More evidence needs to be gathered before we can confirm our theory. We're marking it as Undetermined for the time being.' Level 16 is the 17th Level of the Backrooms. This Level has a rapidly changing terrain, altering itself at unknown intervals. Studying this Level is difficult as its properties change with every environmental shift.

Description
Level 16 in its current state is an arctic climate similar to those within standard reality. One notable difference is the ice covering the surrounding area has a noticeable luminous surface with high reflectivity.

The Level also has a day-night cycle with a length of approximately 13 hours to complete a full cycle. Temperatures within this Level vary from 10°C/50°F to 6°C/43°F depending on the time of day.

Entities are sparse but can be observed in this Level. Large populations of Light Guides have been seen within this space. This is a peculiar observation as these entities are quite rare, and never found in groups. Further insights into this phenomenon are unlikely, as the Level is soon to alter its topography. The Level used to be a rainforest-like ecosystem with persistent fog."...The Level Key changed when the Level did. We've been here several times, it just looks completely different, so we never noticed."

Colonies and Outposts
Human life within this Level is unsustainable due to the unstable nature of this Level. No long-term bases can form within Level 16 for this reason. 'Don't stay here when the environment shifts. Glaciers jutted out of the ground, soaring high into the sky. Rivers suddenly began to gush out of boulders. The landscape began to freeze over, causing the air to chill. Small orbs began to surround us, almost as a warning. If you aren't careful, you can become encased within the changing terrain.' 'I made it out with only frostbite and a few scrapes. Others weren't so lucky.'

Entrances
Finding and touching an orange gallium patch in Level 75 will bring you here. There have been several other supposed entrances, but this is the only confirmed one as of the time of writing.

Exits
The location of the exit is different with each alteration, but the destination is constant. In the Level's current state, finding and standing on a sheet of ice covered in sand will lead you to Level 46."Wish we knew that before entering. Walked into a rainforest, walked out of a tundra."
