Chapter 1, unofficially known as "The Beginning" is the core start to Apeirophobia. We begin at Level 0, which is a reference from the Backrooms Wikidot's level 0. Though do note that Apeirophobia has lore of its own, and it has nothing to do with the Backrooms wiki fandom or Wikidot. Chapter 1 makes its end at Level 16, the only level in Chapter 1 where we successfully terminate an entity. No, this isn't an entity. It's a sin of our past, that we repented. That's what the end of Level 16 represents. However Level 16 does seem a little too familiar now that I think about it. You may be wondering who I am, but don't worry, you'll find out soon. Now below here are buttons leading to each update and new release that Apeirophobia had to endure. There are many other entities and levels you will encounter, but know that your journey won't end soon. No, this is Chapter 1, we are just getting started now. But don't worry, as I, will be here. Good luck.
Are you... Excited?
