Unfortunately, your page could not load. Please seek assistance.What exists, anyway? You're seeking knowledge I presume. You want meaning.
Perhaps the truth never reached you.
Unfortunately, this place cannot provide that. Neither can this database, your consciousness, nor your belief system. The Backrooms is infinite — your mind can only comprehend so much before it self-destructs. So there you remain — a speck of sand on the beach, tormented by the crashing waves. Your time in the Backrooms will be full of endless suffering, no matter how much you attempt to control your fate. The more you learn more about the Backrooms, the more your fragile mind falls apart. Perhaps your strong-willed mind was initially able to withstand the crashing waves of truth, but this won't last.
Eventually, the powerful waves will overwhelm you and win. It's only a matter of time before the waves finally wash you away and send you here, a metaphysical representation of Purgatory.
The Torment is a mysterious anomaly inside the Backrooms — while rumored to exist, it cannot be entered through conventional means… if at all. It is currently the focus of several investigations.
Description
The Backrooms are a prison, but what lies beyond this plane of reality is unknown, infinite, and unpredictable. One could feasibly escape the Backrooms, but the journey beyond, as of yet, is undocumented and undefined. Humans fear the unknown, and thus create theories in a futile attempt to explain it. Perhaps ignorance truly is bliss… because once the truth is known, it cannot be forgotten.
The first successful attempt at photographing the statue.
This is the basis of The Torment, a new world that — according to five witnesses — appeared in Level 0 without forewarning for several hours before vanishing. Witnesses described the area as monotone in color, with a strong feeling of dread enveloping anyone daring to approach it. The anomaly contained what appeared to be multiple graves arranged in perfect circles, all surrounding a deteriorated statue of an unknown hooded man in the center. The area appeared to be in complete darkness, surrounded by thick gray fog. During the encounter, the gray color of the area started bleeding into Level 0's yellow wallpaper, which gradually lost its saturation as the anomaly spread. Any objects, entities, or humans who came in contact with any surface affected by the monotone color quickly turned a gray color before dissolving into ash.
Previously, it was thought that the wanderers who suffered this fate tasted death. This was only partially correct — the M.E.G., through extensive research and attempts to contact the victims of The Torment, have concluded that although the physical body no longer exists, the soul still wanders freely. Their reasoning for this conclusion is confidential but will be listed in an addendum for anyone with proper credentials to view.
According to the M.E.G.'s researchers, the lost souls, unfortunately, have nowhere to go. They are stuck wandering The Torment and its endless arrays of graves, forced to relive their worst memories. Witnesses have heard screaming, crying, and muffled whispering from souls begging for their torture to cease.
Each gravestone's inscription contains a name, a short sentence, and two dates, presumed to be the date of birth and the date of death. The sentence appears to describe the named person's cause of death — however, no entities, objects, or levels are mentioned by name or number classification. Any attempted mention of either will be blanked out. For example, one of the gravestones allegedly reads:
Transformed into _______ after a sustained period without food.
The M.E.G. believes this refers to something undiscovered or unclassified.
There is currently no procedure to bring these souls back to their physical bodies. According to the M.E.G., these souls constantly beg for mercy, all complaining of "something invading their minds." However, as they lack a physical body, these souls also lack a mind, so the mechanisms by which this "something" can enter their mind is unknown. Researchers have also found it intriguing how these souls are still capable of thought and memory. However, being hollow shells of their past human selves, no soul has successfully remembered its own identity or appearance before death. How these souls continue to exist remains a mystery.
Entrances and Exits
Entrances
There is no confirmed method of entry. Any proposed way of entering The Torment is mere speculation.
Exits
None.
Addendum I
However, we can redirect you to Connor Dove, the lone survivor of the incident.
