Animator vs. Animation: The Backrooms (discontinued)

Level 0: "The Lobby"

The high-pitched ringing continued. Green moved his fingers slightly as he woke up. Next, he moved his head, but instantly felt a throbbing headache. He must've hit his head a bit too hard, because it felt like an intense migraine that he's never had before. He slowly moved his hand over his head. "Ughhh, my head...", he groaned. He opened his eyes slowly, taking in the bright light. His blurry vision slowly turned clear as he looked around. The ringing was eventually replaced with buzzing. He saw two hallways on his left and right. Confused, he said, "Wh... Where am I?"
The endless yellow wallpaper. The loud buzzing lights. The eternal silence.
Green stood up and looked around.
This place... There was something about this place that he couldn't quite touch. And naturally, he felt creeped out about it. He couldn't describe what it was. He had some kind of... liminal feeling. "What is this feeling?", he asked himself. Something about this place, it felt strangely eerie.
He took a step, ready to roam the place to... Honestly, he didn't really know why he wanted to move, but this urge somehow made him. Like something was there, just waiting for him.
"Hello? Hello? Anyone? Anybody?", he shouted, but got no response. It was just the silence coming back again to fill the place after he blurted out his words. Was he... alone?
"Okay, calm down. Calm down. Deep breath.", he said to himself, slightly panicking. He hadn't been this isolated before. He was fine with him being alone in their house, but this made him feel a feeling of dread. Something was strange here.

"Hello? Anyone?", Green shouted, walking aimlessly through the place. "Red? Blue? Yellow? ...Second?" No response returned, just his voice echoing through the seemingly endless maze. With this, he could only determine one thing, that he was alone.

Isolated.

Lonely.

Walking down a dark hallway where there were no lights hanging from the ceiling, he felt a bit of uneasiness that sent shivers down his spine.
He heard a thump behind him, and turned his head in response. "H-Hello?", he shouted as words popped up in his mind, saying to himself, "I'm not alone." But curiosity still somehow took over him, so he walked over to where he heard the thump, only to find no one. Fear washed over him, and he began to grow cautious of his surroundings.

As he continued wandering around the place, a noise caught his attention. He faintly jolted in a bit of alarm, but he listened to the noise.
He could hardly make out the noise, but curiosity got the better of him.
Naturally, he changed directions and walked to the noise, wanting to figure out what it was. "H... Hello?"
Green turned to a corner where he thought the voice was, but saw no one. "Wh-... What the heck?" Suddenly hearing footsteps behind him, he turned his head around to see a creature with what appeared to be wires all over it and a head made of black megaphones running towards him. And with that, one word formed in his mind as fear washed over his entire body: run.
"Aah!" Without hesitation, he ran the opposite direction, running wherever the place or his gut told him to. The creature kept bumping into the walls as it chased after Green.

It didn't take long for him to arrive in a place where it seemed like doorways were all over the place, and he just kept running away wherever he seemed he could lose the creature.
The creature seemed like it was everywhere, Green didn't know where to go. And the sudden change in environment just confused him even more.

Finally, he ran through one doorway and got back to the maze of hallways. There's still a few seconds until the creature also goes through the same doorway, and he was about to make sure it wouldn't go to waste.
He went through one corner and hid, holding his breath as he heard the screeching roar of the creature passing through the hallway.
3... 2... 1...
He exhaled. Peeking out the corner, he checked to see if the two hallways to either side of him were clear. A few seconds of peeking led him to believe so, so he left his hiding spot and continued roaming the place.

This place... It's so big. Bigger than he imagined. There's so much turns to take, so much rooms to hide in. If there's one thing he knew, it's that he won't find an exit anytime soon.
He could only hope there is one to this place, because he can't live with a monster that terrifying and bloodthirsty.
