Lore

  • The first area encountered during the game. The Far Shore as the name implies is a large shore around an ocean called the "Maelstrom", you can see this Ocean in the background during the Mobius boss fight. The Far shore seems to be the place where most of the humans decided to hang around, seen by the large number of NPC's you encounter there, most likely due to the fact that compared to the Orpheum it is relatively peaceful. The "sand" in the far shore is mostly people, just kinda reduced to sand by erosion, and the various "rocks" you see are sort of like a living stone. It shapes itself roughly into what nearby things are thinking about, which results in mostly skulls/bones. This is why far away rocks in combat are more abstract as they are in a more relaxed state because there isn't much nearby. The cactuses are a sort of feedback loop that stuck, someone was thinking about cactuses a long time ago which caused the rocks to become cactuses which caused people to see that and keep thinking about cactuses and now the process won't stop.
  • The water of The Maelstrom is said to be “goopy.” [1]The exact consistency of the water is variable, at the surface level it is similar to that of watered-down maple syrup but it gets thicker the deeper you go.[2]
