The Bloodcurdling Nightmare, named after a brief note1?left by a wanderer who explored the level in early 2013, subjects wanderers to phantasms created in the mind. Visual and auditory hallucinations, ranging from mildly-disorienting to mind-shattering, are frequently described as psychological torture for those who dare to enter the level.

Initially considered a sub-level of?Level 57?before its reclassification as an enigmatic level after?the M.E.G.?discovered new information2,?The Bloodcurdling Nightmare?appears to be a continuation of Level 57's art exhibition. However, instead of showcasing paintings created by The Artist,?The Bloodcurdling Nightmare?seems to display abstract sculptures of supernatural origin.

Despite the sculptures' innocuous appearances, upon close contact with any of them, the entire gallery will begin to distort. The extent of distortion depends on the sculpture, but the majority of them will alter the level's appearance, whether by moving the walls, changing the color, or dissolving the art gallery illusion completely. Despite attempts to understand this phenomenon, the M.E.G. has not been able to determine whether close contact with the sculptures reveals the level's true reality or simply replaces the current illusion with another.

Researchers have theorized that?The Bloodcurdling Nightmare's art gallery fa?ade serves primarily to convince unsuspecting wanderers of its safety. Before the art gallery illusion collapses, wanderers within the exhibition report possessing an unusual fixation with the sculptures, as if the sculptures are beckoning humans to approach them. This compulsion is relatively strong—few wanderers will successfully resist the impulse to walk towards the sculptures.

While in sculptural ecstasy, wanderers can expect to hear incomprehensible whispers, a constant ringing in the ears, and the deafening sound of glass shattering. Affected wanderers will stand perfectly still, quietly chanting the word "consume" periodically. According to eyewitnesses, breaking wanderers out of the trance is difficult and hazardous. Common procedure is to push or pull the victim far enough away from the sculpture for the effects to disappear. However, many wanderers have unfortunately become victims themselves while performing rescue attempts.

Visual and auditory hallucinations will vary between wanderers, but those stuck in a trance will slowly approach the sculpture affecting them. When an endangered wanderer is approximately one foot away, the sculpture glows brightly, draining the victim's life force and temporarily blinding everyone currently looking at it. After that, the dead victim slumps to the floor, no-clipping through it and disappearing into an endless abyss.

M.E.G. Researchers Report #824 – Missing Painting

Released By:?Dr. Parksons
Published:?February 10, 2022
Subject:?Level 57.1's Classification

Although there is a clear visual similarity between Level 57 and Level 57.1, we have concluded that Level 57.1 can no longer be considered a sub-level of Level 57. This is because the painting used to access Level 57.1 simply doesn't exist. While this was a shock to many of us, we stand by our conclusion.

As many of us know, Level 57 can be exited by no-clipping into certain paintings on the gallery walls. The accepted method of entry into Level 57.1 was once no-clipping into a painting depicting a room with green walls and a glass sculpture in the center. This painting was located on the second floor of Level 57, next to the staircase. In fact, last week, we spoke with The Artist about this painting, and she replied, "I'm not proud of that one." When asked why, she refused to answer.

However, yesterday, when arrived at the second floor of Level 57 to access Level 57.1, the painting had mysteriously disappeared. When we asked The Artist about what happened to the painting, she "played dumb" and refused to acknowledge the painting's existence.

We soon discovered that this painting was not the only method of entry. We found a second method of entry… but not in Level 57. While searching for the painting, we stumbled across an entrance to Level 57.1 in?Level 321?below a storyboard desk. As a result, we no longer believe that this level is tied to Level 57. The painting in Level 57 was merely an illusion created by the glass sculptures. While we swear it was an entrance for a brief period of time, any mention of the painting's existence has mysteriously been wiped from our database. Not even the archived pages mention it anymore. It's like… its mere existence shattered.
