The parking lot of Level 372
Description
Level 372 may seem comfortable, safe even. If you don't stay for too long, that's the truth. But be sure not to stay too long, for you could face severe mental effects. The Lot is infinite, but its non-euclidean geometry can make it look as if you've walked much more or less than you actually have. However, the geometry here only affects your vision, not the physical distances.
The level resembles an infinite parking lot, and is only interrupted by a store after walking 17 miles. If you miss the store, it disappears from behind you and another won't show up until you walk another 170 miles. The lot itself is foggy with lights rarely littering the streets, and the only other life visible is the small but dead trees. The Lot is in a perpetual night state, and it is overcast constantly, but will never rain.
Level 372 has also been known to cause feelings of familiarity in wanderers, giving them deja vu, and looking different to every wanderer. The level appears to wanderers as a parking lot near a store they're familiar with from their childhood. For this reason, no two wanderers are able to exist in the same version of the level.
Bases, Outposts and Communities
There are no known bases, outposts or communities on this level due to the intense mental hazards.

- Paranoia
- Hallucinations
- Visual Flashes
17-Mile Store
The 17-Mile Store may seem familiar at first, but… something's wrong. You may see restaurants, serving familiar foods. However, these restaurants are odd. Typical restaurants in the 17-Mile Store may include McSmiler's, Wemdy's, or Bacteria King that sell typical items. These items may look familiar, however, they're made of entity meat because of a lack of Earth animals' meat in the Backrooms. The food in these restaurants are not served by a cashier, cook, or anything of the likes. They instead appear on the register counter, but caution! Taking more than 5 meals without paying will cause the floor to fall out from under you.
The store itself has many strange properties. Entering will instantly cause wanderers to have intense mental effects. However, it may be worth the risk for wanderers to enter the store because it has many supplies. Cases of Almond Water and Royal Rations can be found littered throughout the Store, and other foods may appear rarely.
Entrances And Exits
Entrances
There are only two known entrances to Level 372.
- The Lot can be accessed by walking far in the streets of Level 215.
- Wanderers can be transported into The Lot from Level 11 by jumping out of a window in an office building and no-clipping into its parking lot.
Exits
The only known exit for Level 372 is outside of the 17-Mile Store. Many stop signs can be found throughout the parking lot, however if you find an "EXIT" sign shaped as a triangle, you must no-clip into it to be sent out of the level. The exit sends wanderers to a random level, however the most common levels are Level 2, Level 665, and Level 903. If you take more than 5 meals at the store, you'll fall through the ground to the void. This exit is not recommended to be taken.
