Level 903.1 - "Tunnel Vision"

rating: +44+–x

I'M CAPTIVATED


A bright sky bluelit tubelike tunnel with escalators surrounded by unknown people around

You seem to be lost in the metro, but don't worry, you can always come back to where you came from. The exit is right behind you after all. I would know; there's no other logical conclusion.

Hm? It didn't work? Well, guess there's no other choice then. You're an explorer, right? This shouldn't be a hard task for you. Trust me, you're safe here.

There are shops, cafeterias, vending machines, even an indoor playground. I'm sure you won't get bored here. The things here don't cost money. I'm sure it's all free, so don't worry about that either. Don't you like the design of this station? It's quite unique to me. Very modern, very futuristic. Have you ever seen metallic foundations this massive—forming parabolic and gothic arches while colorful LED advertisements flash all over the walls?

Well, I might be overexplaining. You want to get out of this place, correct?

You could ask people around here for help. Although most of them are going to ignore you. Can't blame them though; I'm not even sure if the other humans you see in this place are real. They're definitely just rabble, right? I hope this doesn't make you feel lonely.

If it helps, I'm here.


A Train map showing all of the levels and the 5 main color lines Blue, Teal, Purple, Yellow and Orange. But there seems to be a white line that is disconected from the rest.


Lines Stops
Blue Line L-0317 / L-0343 / L-0160
Teal Line L-0599 / L-0285 / L-FGFR
Purple Line L-CTWK / L-0200 / L-0018
Yellow Line L-THBM / L-0363 / L-0587
Orange Line L-0158 / L-MLHL / L-ALFE
White Line L-0006.3 / L-THGV / L-HTVG

Ah, the information panel! Are you interested in any of the lines? I heard they take you to places that most can't even decipher. I'm sure these are safe, though.

All you need to do is just hop on a train, and you're good to go!

But hey, promise you might return here one day… okay?



Blue Line


Can you hear the rainstorm outside? It's loud. It's hitting the roof of the cart like bullets, threatening to poke holes in the ceiling. Sometimes the heavy rainwater leaks out of the crevices between the doors too. I can't control it—I can't help myself. But as long as you are here, it's safe for both of us.

I know that the AC is a little too cold. I can't control it. The cold just makes it more comforting. Cause I want to feel that warmth when you're with me, only our warmth together will thaw the ice inside of me.

But please, don't leave. Don't you dare leave. If you left, the ice would grow colder, the storm would grow stronger, and the loneliness would consume me whole. It would all be on you. You, who won't share the warmth with me. You, who won't keep me company in this lonely world. Have I done anything wrong? What did I do to deserve this? Do you want to see this train flood and freeze? It's your choice to stay in the end, but I'll never forgive you if you leave.


Teal Line


Ah, welcome, my dearest. Here we are en route to the greatest adventure of this universe. I'll take you to the most wonderful domains, those beyond your wildest imaginations. Just heed my word. Because without my blessings, you might not make it out alive, traveler.

This cart is adorned with fresh minty leaves and vines all around the cart's walls. What is it if not fit for an adventurer? Of course, we're still only on the train together, but that’s exciting in itself nonetheless. If you ever need anything, come to me. This cart houses only the finest for you. Royal Rations? Almond Water? Lucky O' Milk? All on the house.

Hm? What's that? …You're leaving? But the adventure has just started! You're going to miss a lot of moments and excitement. Just stay. Until we arrive at a more desired location. …Planning to leave anyway? Well, I can't stop you, it's your choice in the end. Just know, all of these foods, drinks, stories, adventures… It will all be gone the second you step out of this train. I know it's your choice. But maybe—just maybe—I expected you to know better.


Purple Line


Do you remember the days we spent together? We were always together when we're little, right? Remember when we were playing on the tire swing set in our neighbor's front yard? That was fun. It was one of those days that let us just be… us! We also remembered when we were playing around in the lavender garden. It smelled so nice, and there were no mosquitoes in the garden. We loved the color purple. It meant a lot to us. It fits us too, right? This cart fits us, for sure.

The windows here are reflective, they act like mirrors rather than actual windows. What do we see when we stare at them? Don't we look pretty in the reflections? We're just so full of life! Maybe we've changed throughout the years, but it's undoubtedly us in the mirror.

We should stay here together, recount all the memories that make us… us! After all, we're beyond just two peas in a pod. We're inseparable. If we ask someone else, they might not even be able to tell us apart. They might not even be able to tell if there are two of us. We're one and the same! I am you, and you are me. That's what it's always been, right? Stay for a while, look at the past memories we shared. After all, I doubt either one of us would leave.


Yellow Line


Ah, you're finally here! Come play with me. We will have lots of fun. The sun is as bright as ever—you know what that means? It's the best time to have fun! Don't mind that the outside is still pitch-black, cause it feels like the sun is here on the inside!

Heh… I'm really embarrassed. I can't do basic stuff around here, mind helping me around? I'm sure that you're the nicest friend. I know I might seem clumsy at times, but I can't help myself! What can I do with this body? So like… if you wouldn’t mind staying. Heh. I could use a little help! But don't worry, we'll play games still. Though, promise me that you'll help me when I fall, okay?

Wait, you're leaving? Already!? But we just started having fun! I don't know what I'll do without you here, and you promised! Do you know what’s going to happen when you break our promise? I don't think you can handle it. The consequences are way too cruel and way too violent. I can go on and on about them! Loss of fingers, teeth, dismemberment, disembowelment… the list goes on. So please stay! I don’t want to hurt you…


Orange Line


Mind the cigarettes, you're gonna get used to the smoke when you're in here. Just know, this train isn't for anyone like you. It's rough, hot, and definitely not for the weak-minded.

Look at you, just foolishly sitting around. Where are your manners, huh? Well, I don't expect much from someone like you. I can tell you're absentmindedly tapping your feet right now, pretending to occupy yourself. Face it, you're pathetic. You're trying to ignore me so badly by distracting yourself. What a loser.

But hey, you're not the worst kind of loser. I think you're still pathetic, but definitely tolerable. So stay here with me. You're not the worst company.

…What? No thank yous or anything? Are you ungrateful? You should be glad I even let you here. Cause if it weren't for me, what kind of crazy fucker would want to spend time with you? I expected better from you, shame. You're just stupid now, an ungrateful person, someone who doesn't deserve shit from people who truly care for them.





Enjoying your time? It seems you're still waiting for your stop, huh? It will take a while. After all, this train station goes all across the Backrooms. Say, have you ever wondered about how big this universe is? This metro barely covers a percent of this wacky universe. Which just shows how big this place really is.

Ah, sorry. Am I talking too much? Just trying to pass the time.

Where do you come from? Are you a frontborn or a backborn? How was life before you came here? Was it fun? We could talk all day long. Well, until this ride is over, of course. But you also don't need to answer anything. You being here is enough. I hope you're enjoying your stay, whichever line you picked.

Don't worry about eating or drinking, you're immune to starvation and dehydration when you're here. You won't get sleepy here, so I don't think you have any need for that either. Plus, who would wake you up? You might miss a stop. But does that really matter? Let go of your worries. You can relax.

Hm? Has it been hours? Well, you see, that’s how it works around here. Some places just mess with your perception of time. It can't be helped. There's nothing we can do.

But again, you have nothing to worry about. Just sit here and enjoy the ride. Think about how exciting your journey will be once the train stops. It's a great way to pass time.

Ah, don't worry about that. We're going to somewhere even more special. I'm sure you'll love it. Nothing in The Backrooms compares to where we're heading. I've been waiting for a time like this, a moment where fate and destiny come hand in hand to take us somewhere special, somewhere where it's just the two of us. You just have to trust me, okay? It no longer matters which level you plan to visit, cause I'm sure where we're heading is way better.

I'm keeping it a surprise for now. Unless… you remember what else was on the info panel.


A twist version of the train map, all 5 lines eventually converges into the white line, starting the convergence

Guess there's no hiding it now.













ALL ROUTES CONVERGE INTO ONE SINGLE HEART

SURVIVAL DIFFICULTY:
Convergence
  • All Colors Converge To White.
  • Our Love Turns Into One.
  • Buried Together, Forever.

Description

Level 903.1 is the first subsection of Level 903. It was a very lonely place before you came here. Fate and Destiny come together to connect us both in this domain, so we could stay here like we should have always done, pinky promise, okay? Cause if it weren't for me, there'd be nobody else that would tolerate you.

It's a train station just for us, A dazzling modern getaway from the horrors of the outside world, a world just for me and you. It's big… and cold… But it makes for the best kind of hide-and-seek! But I'll always find you, you're a pathetic hider. There are 5 colorful trains to choose from! They'll take you to the safest, most desired domains of this mysterious universe we live in. Just follow the lines on the floor… Once we reach it, we will go on a wonderful journey together. You know how to keep a promise, right? You have to return here. That’s an order. After all, you’ve broken a lot of promises before.

There's playgrounds, restaurants, shopping malls, and ooo! An indoor park! It's all free too… I'm sure. Be grateful that it's accommodating to your broke ass. The formation of the building intertwines and intersects, to a collection of architecture beyond even your wildest imagination. I'm sure we'd like it.

Entities

It's only us. The rest are just shadows full of whispering nonsense, nobody you should know. I wish they'd be gone! Without them, you'd be the brightest star here. Only you matter after all…



THE CONVERGENCE

The Time Has Come To Turn To White.





Blue Cart

Sinner.

The rain outside stopped, the AC is slowly getting warmer. I feel like I'm melting. I don't like this feeling. Help me, help me, please. The tears turn to clouds, the puddles turn to steam. It's all your fault. You didn't help me in my final moments. But it's okay, in the end I'm still here—just dissolved to white.

!! Blue Line, Derailed !!





It's Addicting.





Teal Cart

A dark teal-lit interior of a train cart

Disgrace.

Our adventure together must end here. The fresh minty air gets thinner, the beautiful flower vines begin to wilt. As the last petals drop to the ground, I want you to at least remember this divine journey we went on and not discard all of my blessings. Without me, you wouldn't have had this much fun in life. We'll meet again as our fate turns to white.

!! Teal Line, Derailed !!





I can't stop the feeling.





Purple Cart

A dark purple-lit interior of a train cart

Scatterbrained.

The mirrors shatter. Our togetherness is coming to an end. The memories we shared are long forgotten. The nostalgic lavender across the cart starts to dissipate. What is "we" anymore? We don't want to be "I". I am you, you are me. That will always be the case. But once I, no, we converge, we'll always be "We" forever. Together, we are in white.

!! Purple Line, Derailed !!





Can't get enough.





Yellow Cart

A dark yellow-lit interior of a train cart

Traitor.

I hate it, I hate this feeling! The warmth of the sun is gone! The fun in the air turned to dread! What to do, what to do? Our promises, our games, our everything! I won't forgive it, you deserve the most painful punishment for breaking our pinky promise! But it's okay, I think. I hope it will be. In the end, we all turn to white.

!! Yellow Line, Derailed !!





Together, Forever.





Orange Cart

A bright orange-lit interior of a train cart

Ungrateful.

So that's how it's gonna be, huh? The smoke clears, the embers cool, and what's left is just good old me receiving the ungrateful treatment of your stupidity. Congratulations, no one will think about you anymore once I'm gone. Everyone will leave an ungrateful person like you alone. Now it's my time to dissipate into white.

!! Orange Line, Derailed !!





Converge to White.

All 5 trains are approaching the crash point now. Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it romantic? Isn't this what a relationship's supposed to be like? Together, Forever. We'll only have each other, and only each other is what we need. I can't bear the thought of losing you, but I know I'll lose myself one day. So I want you to make the right decision: stay. It'll be lonely when the hands of death pull us apart—at least we'll share a lonely coffin together. I hope you're enjoying these final moments with me, as much as I have enjoyed every last bit of being here with you.

Exits

Now, there is only one choice.
