The blurry chalkboard was seen again in the trailer, which dropped via both an article on Bloody Disgusting and an email, on May 28.

As you can see, there are a few differences but I think the solution is solid.

We didn’t really know what to do with it (and still don’t tbh). The words TORMENT (or TARMENT, lol) and ANGUISH have now appeared as ticket levels one and two. Logically, ANNIHILATION is the unnamed mysterious and terrifying level three.

I know some people wanted to discuss so go nuts.

Amazing work on figuring this out! Annihilation definitely seems fitting as the name for level 3.
