'''Wysteria''' is a [[Update 2.0|2.0]] Auto level by TriAxis, published on 8 November 2015.

The level is a horror-themed short film based on the real-life [[Wikipedia:Albert Fish#Murder of Grace Budd|murder of Grace Budd]] by serial killer and cannibal [[Wikipedia:Albert Fish|Albert Fish]], known as the Werewolf of Wysteria. The story of Grace Budd was that Albert Fish discovered her when he had plans of murdering her brother, Edward Budd. Fish made up a story about having to attend his niece's birthday party. He tricked Grace's parents into letting Grace accompany him to the 'birthday party'; instead, Fish took her to an abandoned house known as 'Wisteria Cottage', then murdered and ate her.

==Description==
Wysteria begins with a simple horror-style introduction featuring clocks and a music box ticking in tune with the music. TriAxis revealed in the comments of a YouTube video that the symbolism refers to time, specifically the loss of time.

The following sector shows the lyrics in words, while accompanied by many individual artistic designs such as a swing set and a picture of the character 'Gracie', who is based on the real girl Grace Budd, who was murdered by Albert Fish, a 20th-century serial killer who raped, killed, then ate his victims at an abandoned house. The house was called 'Wisteria Cottage', hence the level's name, 'Wysteria'. It continues to a forest setting, presumably the 'Willows of Wysteria' as mentioned in the song. The forest symbolised being stuck. Following that is a continuation of the previous lyrics and art theme.

Then, as the song calms, a piano is shown, and keys are pressed in tune with the music; however, they do not match the song. After this relatively soft, creepy beginning, the final scene takes on a much more manic tone. The background turns blood red, and many images appear on the screen. The images include a depiction of Grace, hanged people, a very unsettling smiling face, and an ear with blood dripping out of it.
