LOG: BACKROOMS – DAY ??? CURRENT LOCATION: Level 37 – “The Poolrooms” / “Sublimity” Status: Stable | Hydrated | Mentally at peace—for now

You breathe.

This is your sanctuary. For now.

You've claimed a room—a small square chamber with a slightly raised platform, just above the waterline. Your backpack rests here, and you’ve already created your living space:

4 full bottles of Almond Water, stacked like a shrine A functioning vending machine, refilled every few days with unknown logic A floating lounge chair, found abandoned in one of the wider pools An emergency flashlight, because even peace carries shadows You have not seen another person since arriving. No entities. No whispers. Just the soft glow of white lights above and the endlessly repeating, but oddly perfect, architecture.

You’ve begun to map your surroundings with chalk and memory:

North Corridor: Leads into a series of open rooms with deeper pools and faint humming sounds beneath the water. East Tunnel: Tight halls, dry steps… maybe a staircase—possible exit to Level 34? South Path: The water turns slightly colder. Darker tiles. Possibly a shift toward Level 37.1—you avoid it. West Hall: A vending machine area. Feels like a rest stop. You're sure someone—or something—maintains it. You’re starting to feel a little more… human again.

You rest. Float. Watch the glow dance across the water.

And yet—something in the back of your mind knows: This level doesn’t last forever. Eventually, wanderers arrive. Eventually, something slips through. Eventually, the walls change.

But for now… you are safe.

This is your life.

What will you do next?
