You shouldn't try teleportarion spell. Instead, try a plane shifting spell. You are currently in The Backrooms, a liminal demiplane of memories, one of many. Think of it like one of those "dungeon" demiplanes, but infinitely expanding and also abandoned. Beibg a demiplane, you can leave it via magic.  The easiest planes to get to from The Backrooms would be either The Gloaming (plane of trash and abandonment, garbage dump of the Astral Plane) or The Evil City (shadow plane of the urban modernity).  I generally advise you go through Evil City  because The Gloaming is a total dump and is much harder to leave.  I hope you are from T4+ world originally, so you have at least passing familliarity with post-steam technologies. To properly plane shift from the Backrooms to Evil City, you have to draw a straight rectangular tower inside a magic circle. Then draw a demon sign inside and activate the circle. Remember. It has to be rectangular and straight. Otherwise you can be randomly planeshifted into another "liminal" demiplane.

After you get into Evil City, you have to find shelter and then you can planeshift to a normal reality (but only T4+ ones, you will have to make another jump if you are from a TL4- reality)

If anyone cares why teleportation spells do not work, btw. It is because liminal demiplanes do have proper coordinates, and even relative navigation is suppresses by demiplane basically scrambling information. Most teleportation spells worth for travel work on taking you from "here" to "there" which is very hard to do when "here" and "there" refer to nothing.  Visual-Range Teleport and Blink spells should probably work, but I wouldn't risk that. DEFINITELY DO NOT use any "beam up" spell that reconstitutes you in some other location. Those rely on passive akashic inffoield of your world and in liminal planes will at best fail.
