I lived on the ground floor of an apartment building that was lousy with millipedes. As pests go, millipedes are easy mode. They're slow, they're terrible climbers, and they crumble instead of squish. There's a smell, but it's not even that bad.

Occasionally there'd be a cockroach.

Then I moved to the second floor, and there were almost no millipedes, but more cockroaches. Also flying cockroaches.

It was like a video game. You've got your easy level 1 bugs with the occasional level 2 bug mixed in, then once you get to actual level 2, some of the level 2 bugs can fly.

Still not as bad as the third floor. The third floor was bats.

I wanna know what’s in the boss level on the rooftop.

Keep going and it’s a really lopsided asymmetrical open world horror game.
