Stage 2 is the third stage of The True Backrooms and the first stage which is single-player. It was added on June 18th, 2019.
Description[]
Stage 2 resembles a long, grey, claustrophobic and concrete maintenance tunnels with pipes and wires lining the walls. However the further you progress throughout the stage, the further you go through the stage it will become less detailed throughout the tunnels, until the stage will eventually just become a series of concrete box corridors. Throughout the stage, there are very few light sources, which seem to be in the form of cage lights. More entities will now roam around this stage and they can be stopped by shining a flashlight at them, there is a total of 3 entities and its best to have your long beam on while navigating through this stage.
The spawn on this stage has graffiti on the right side of the wall saying "THEY ARE UNPREDICTABLE Long Beam (A drawing of a Flashlight that is activated) STOPS "THEM"". The Player will also have a flashlight in their hand in this stage just like Stage 1.
Secrets[]
Numbers Station[]
The numbers station room can be found by walking to the end of the starting hallway, taking a right, and then a left. This room contains various machines, shelves, and a note. This room will grant the 'Numbers Station' badge upon entering, and a recording can be heard if you have the 'Golden Ace' badge.
Scarecrow[]
You can find this by going through a wall that looks darker than the other walls, this will lead you to a dead end hallway with another path on the left side which will lead to a room with a singular scarecrow. Upon going up to it The Player will start breathing uncomfortably, like The Player would when getting near an entity. The scarecrow can also chase away entites that happen to go into the room that the scarecrow is in.
Developer Console[]
Directly upon joining the stage, it reads:
Well, you've come this far but to no avail. You know you can't leave so why are you still trying? You'll just end right back where you started.
Entrances[]
Stage 1[]
Navigate down the collapsed stairs to the fire exit for Stage 1 to be teleported to Stage 2.
Stage 1.1[]
Navigate to a door inside of a room in Stage 1.1. Walk down the stairs and into the fire exit to be teleported to Stage 2.
The Waiting Place[]
Go through the door labeled "1+" in The Waiting Place and walk down the stairs. Head down the hallway with the number "2" to be teleported to Stage 2.
Exits[]
Exiting this stage awards three badges, depending on the amount of the time it took for the player to complete the stage:
- Stage 2 - Bronze - Complete the stage in Over 7 minutes.
- Stage 2 - Silver - Complete the stage between 4 minutes and 7 minutes.
- Stage 2 - Gold - Complete the stage in Under 4 minutes.
Stage 3[]
Navigate to a fire exit to enter Stage 3.
Nobody Is Around To Help[]
In Stage 2, navigate to a wall with the text written "WRONG WAY!" and a small red glow from the bottom corners. It is possible to walk through this wall. Walk down the stairs and exit through the bunker door to be teleported to Nobody Is Around To Help, This used to be just an easter egg with a solid wall and nothing behind it, most likely to trick the player into thinking they have escaped stage 2 before the renovations.

Trivia[]
- Early on, Kord_K planned to allow the player to swing the flashlight as a weapon, but there wouldn't have been any use for it and he felt like it didn't fit, so it was never added.
