disorientingly
In dizzying fashion
In a manner that causes confusion about direction, position, or circumstances.
Something disorientingly familiar feels unsettlingly recognizable in an unexpected context.
A camera might pan disorientingly fast, or a building's layout might shift disorientingly between floors.
The hallway turned disorientingly back on itself.
