what happened inside

  1. 00:19entered shallow water.
  2. 00:56walked in one direction for a long time.
  3. 01:10the floor continues past where it should end.
  4. 01:53no walls visible for a long time.
  5. 03:01this is smaller than the box.

what he learned

do not paint what is already here.

why he painted the next one

an ocean, which is not a room produced a tighter world. paint the opposite of it.

WORLD 1192: a forest, because forests have no walls

still inside

he cannot build his way out. every place on this page was painted first.
