Game Chasers & Rose Wallpaper

She is incognito, hiding under her hood. She is walking through the streets. They keep following her. "They" -- all the characters she had never met before. They were all shapes and sizes. Some were in the backdrop. Some were in motion such as the man walking towards her while she approached the wooden door. She locked the door carefully while they desperately tried to push it open. It locked. She didn't feel as if she were in any danger. She wanted to move forward to her destination, but they kept following her. Why? 
She approached the open street with many people. There were old vinyl records in a crate. She saw her name. The girl next to her played the music on the old boombox and the people started dancing on the street. The policeman stopped the dancing. She saw a huge artist studio filled with paintings. The studio shop owner was an Asian woman - the mother of another artist she knew. 
She kept moving and now she enters an old theater. She walks into the dressing room. A thin old man recognizes her. He told her that he saw her earlier. She makes sure the hood she wore covered her identity. He was a kind man though and she did not fear him. 
She walked backstage only to find endless walls and doors covered with rose wallpaper. Each door she opened was a passageway to another hallway covered with the same wallpaper maze. She could hear the actors on stage performing Hamlet. When would the scene end and would the actors find her when they exit the stage?
Did these characters want her to reveal her true identity or were they chasing her because they wanted to stop her for  soon she would discover the truth? That the world she was in was all an illusion.
