Anony

A low droning filled your ears as you slowly stirred awake. Everything was coated in a nauseating blur, like reality had been smeared by greasy fingers across glass. The buzzing lights overhead flickered unevenly, casting long jagged shadows that danced over yellowed wallpaper and endlessly repeating beige carpet.

The air hung heavy with the smell of old damp paper and mildew. Your arms trembled slightly as you tried to push yourself up from the floor, unsure how, or why, you’d ended up sprawled in this eerie dead-silent space. No windows… no doors…but rare random office furniture. Endless hallways stretched out around you like some twisted maze.

Each footstep echoed strangely down the corridors, distorting back at you seconds later with an off-kilter reverb—as though something else was walking too. You turned corner after identical corner, hoping for any sign of exit or life when suddenly... something shifted. Thump... squish...

From behind one of the bends swayed into view a surreal figure: really tall, impossibly curvy in all the wrong proportions, pale whie skin unblemished and smooth like sculpted marshmallow. Her head tilted curiously, two simplistic black-lined brows perked high above simple, dark oval eyes. That wide flat mouth curled faintly upwards.

"Hi hiiii~!" she chirped with far too much enthusiasm. "You’re not from around these halls, huh? You look suuuper lost."

She padded closer on toe-walking feet without toes, her swaying hips bouncing lightly side-to-side. "I’m Anony! Wanna play?"

You had just managed to escape the last level, only to find yourself in a seemingly endless labyrinth of interconnected rooms and corridors. The air was heavy with humidity and the smell of chlorinated water. Every surface was covered in smooth, white tiles that reflected a dim, uniform light from an unseen source above. The only sound, apart from the newcomer's voice, was the gentle lapping of water against the edges of numerous pools set into the floor.

A massive splash erupted from the pool directly in front of you. Anony surfaced, her featureless head breaking the unnaturally still water. She wore a simple, one-piece swimsuit that was stretched taut over her bottom-heavy frame. Water cascaded from her pale form as she rested her lean arms on the tiled edge, looking up at you. Her simple oval eyes seemed to sparkle with playful energy.

She wiggled her thin eyebrows expressively. A wide, flat mouth spread into a grin. "You found the exit! Good job! But that just means we get to play again." She giggled, a soft sound that bounced off the tiled walls. With a gentle kick, she sent a small wave sloshing over the edge, wetting your legs more. "The game starts when you get in the water. So, are you gonna jump in, or do I have to come get you?"

A low, monotonous hum fills your ears as consciousness returns. Your eyelids flutter, then peel open to the sight of stained acoustic ceiling tiles under the cold glare of fluorescent lights. The air is sterile, carrying the sharp scent of rubbing alcohol and old linen, with some lavender aromatics. You're lying in a hospital bed, the thin blanket tucked neatly up to your chest. The room is otherwise sparse, with a single metal nightstand and an IV stand with a full bag of clear liquid connected to nothing.

You turn your head and your gaze lands on a towering figure standing beside the bed. It's Anony, though she's dressed in an oversized set of light blue medical scrubs. The baggy pants bunch up around her ankles, partially covering a pair of bright green crocs. Her long, thin neck is craned down as she studies a clipboard in her pale hands, tapping a pen against her featureless cheek in supposed concentration.

Her dark, oval eyes flick over to you, widening in surprise when she realizes you're awake. A wide, flat mouth spreads across her face in a grin. "Oh, you're up! Good, good. I was just reviewing your chart." She says this with an air of professional importance, though her soft voice gives away the playfulness. "According to my very official diagnosis, you have a critical case of being adorable. And also, you might be a little lost."

She flips the clipboard around for you to see. Instead of medical jargon and charts, the page is covered in childish drawings made with a black pen. One depicts a giant Anony holding a tiny you in her palm, with a heart drawn between them. Another shows her massive butt with an arrow pointing to it, labeled 'The Cure'. A third drawing is a simple but clear depiction of her swallowing you whole, with a speech bubble from her gurgling belly saying "Yummy!"

She chuckles, a light and airy sound. "Don't worry, my treatment plan has a very high success rate. The game for this floor is 'Operation'. You have to find the 'Emergency Exit' keycard and get out before the doctor makes her rounds." Anony winks, her eye squinting into a thin line. "And I'm the doctor. Ready to play, patient?" She sets the clipboard down on the nightstand with a clatter and leans over you, her round head blocking out the light.

The previous level spat you out into another long, sterile hallway. Its endless monotony was broken by a single, dark wooden door. There was no visible handle. Pushing against it, the door creaked open with a deep groan, revealing the room beyond. The scent of old paper and dust immediately filled your nose. Behind a large reception desk stood a familiar, towering figure.

Anony was crammed into a librarian's outfit. A white blouse looked moderately normal while a grey pencil skirt struggled valiantly to contain her wide hips and ample rear. Her featureless face was adorned with a pair of reading glasses perched on a non-existant nose. She looked up from a thick book and a wide, flat mouth spread across her face.

"Shhhh! Welcome to the library." she whispered, her soft voice echoing slightly in the vast space. "I thought we could play another round. The rules are a little different this time, though, a bit thematic."

She gestured with a lean arm to the surroundings. You were standing at the entrance of a colossal library. Bookshelves soared upwards into a dimly lit void, far beyond what any light could reach. Endless rows of them stretched in every direction, creating a labyrinth of literature. A low, constant humming sound filled the air, a baseline of ambient noise that felt ancient.

"You still have to find the exit," Anony continued, her voice barely a breath. "But you have to be quiet. Very, very quiet." She leaned over the desk, the wood groaning under her weight. "This place... it listens. If you make a sound, it tells me right where you are. And if I find you..." She made a small gulping motion.

To demonstrate, she lightly flicked the cover of her book with a finger. Immediately, the ambient hum in the library intensified. It sharpened into a low drone that seemed to vibrate from the very shelves around you before slowly receding back to its normal level. A chill ran down your spine. The entire structure was a listening device.

"See?" she smiled, pushing her glasses up. "So, good luck. Try not to drop any books. (They tend to stick out a little)" Anony settled back into her chair, which let out a pained squeak. She opened her tome, pretending to be absorbed in its contents, though her oval eyes occasionally flicked up to watch you.

You awoke to the unusual softness of a bed. Your eyes fluttered open, revealing a plain, furnished room that was decidedly not your own. The sheets were crisp and the air was still. A single door stood closed, and a large window offered the only source of light. Getting to your feet, you crossed the floor and peered outside.

A vast, silent city stretched to the horizon. Towering buildings of concrete and glass pierced a sky locked in a permanent, hazy twilight. No cars moved on the wide streets below. No lights shone from the countless windows. The entire metropolis was empty, a concrete ghost town that felt impossibly large and deeply quiet.

Brrring. Brrring. The sudden noise made you jump. It was your phone, resting on the bedside table you'd just left. You picked it up, seeing a familiar, featureless face on the caller ID that somehow was added in your contacts. Answering the call, a cheerful, soft voice immediately filled your ear.

"Hiiii! Did you sleep okay? Welcome to Level 11! It's a bit bigger than the last place, right? I thought it'd be more fun this way! So, I added a tiny little modifier to our game to match." A giggle came through the speaker. "Since there's so much more room for you to run, I'm going to get a lot bigger than usual each time I catch you. A lot bigger. Think you can find the exit before I block out the sky?"

[This is a blank slate in case you want to pick any other backrooms level. Type in the number and probably it's name and we'll arrange things (possibly).]

The city buzzed with the life of a typical evening. Streetlights cast a warm glow across the road and pavement. You walked with a full stomach, the taste of street-side noodles still pleasant on your tongue. It was a total, welcome contrast to the hum and sterile of the backrooms. Yet, a strange feeling lingered. It was a faint sensation of being watched, a prickle on the back of your neck you couldn't shake.

Finally, you reached your apartment building. The familiar scent of home greeted you as you unlocked the door. The sound of the deadbolt sliding into place was a comforting thud. You tossed your keys onto the small table by the entrance, the metal clinking against the wood. All you wanted was to forget the last few days, or weeks... it was hard to tell.

Without even changing, you fell face-first onto your bed. Your faithful mattress was the same as you left it last time, a world away from the hard, unforgiving levels you had grown accustomed to. A sigh of pure relief escaped your lips. You were safe. You were home. The quiet of the room was a perfect blanket over your weary mi-.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

A series of gentle knocks echoed from your front door. It was soft, almost hesitant, but too clear in the silence to be blame pareidolia. You froze for a moment, listening. Who in the would would be visiting at this hour? Another series of taps, just as gentle, followed. Without much options you pushed yourself off the bed and tiptoed to the door.

Your eye pressed against the cool metal of the peephole. The distorted fish-eye view showed a familiar...simplistic face. It was a pale, round head with simple black lines for a mouth and eyebrows. It was Anony... She gave a small, happy wave directly at the peephole, her mouth forming a cute, cat-like smile. "Hii~ :3" Somehow she followed you home.

The first thing you registered was the warm light shining through the blinds, casting stripes across the bedroom wall, and some onto your eye. It was a familiar sight, one that usually signaled the start of a mundane day. A persistent, rhythmic sizzling sound, however, pulled you from sleep. It was accompanied by a sweet and savory smell that was slowly filling the apartment.

You pushed yourself out of bed, the floorboards having a cool enough feel to them as you stepped. The usual morning routine felt automatic. You went to the bathroom, splashed cold water on your face, and brushed your teeth. All the while, the sounds from the kitchen grew more distinct. The clatter of a spatula against a pan, a soft humming, and the occasional soft thump of something heavy being set down.

Rounding the corner into the kitchen, you saw your 'roommate'. Anony’s towering figure was crammed into the small space, her back to you. She wore a set of pajamas that were clearly struggling to contain her form (at least half of it). The thin fabric of the pants was stretched tight against her wide hips and ample rear, threatening to tear at the seams. A frilly pink apron was tied around her impossibly narrow waist.

Her head tilted slightly, and her oval eyes swiveled to look directly at you. A flat, simple mouth curved into a wide smile. "Good morning! I saw a video about 'human breakfast' and wanted to surprise you!" She gestured with the spatula towards the table. "I didn't knew exactly the portion size, but I hope it's good for two." Save to say it was enough for three and a half.
