All areas

high

Astral Orrery

A mysterious installation floating high above Tenebrous Isle on the edge between worlds known and unknown. Its Spark Generator naturally reacts with Astral Ore buried in the valley below, holding the entire installation in sparkmagnetic equilibrium. Inhabited by a secretive order of Scholars whose research goals are unknown. Heliocentric, orrery-themed halls suggest cosmological/astronomical theming.

high

Bone Beach

A mining town that has grown around a gargantuan decomposing creature washed up on the shore. Inspired by the California Gold Rush era — in a world where Bones are the in-game currency, a beach laden with carcasses is like striking gold. Navigating it takes Mina inside the creature and back out again. Local miners resent her meddling, and viruses and other critters have set up camp inside the corpse.

high

Frozen Trainyard

Reached by traveling north by train, the Frozen Trainyard is a graveyard of overturned railcars filled with icy enemies and the ghosts of passengers who linger after a terrible accident. Theme combines industrial wreckage, snow/ice, and haunted-passenger spirits.

Nhigh

Nox's Bayou

A semi-settled poisonous swamp reached by paddling a boat outside of town. Inspired by the eerie waterways of Louisiana. Outsiders risk sinking into the bog and never surfacing again. Features uneven ground, noxious deep water, unfriendly flora and fauna, and reports of an enormous predator lurking in the area.

high

Ossex

The central hub city of Tenebrous Isle and its only major settlement. A layered Victorian-era town of merchants, side-quest NPCs, tin-can-kicking children, and crate-hauling workers under a perpetually overcast sky. Functions as the Nexus-like safe zone Mina returns to between dungeon runs.

high

Queensbury Crypt

A vast cemetery whose verdant rolling grounds and silent headstones once brought solace to mourners across the isle. Now monsters rise from their graves and terrorize the locals. Superstitious citizens blame an overfilled cemetery; others blame the Spark Generators' sudden malfunction unleashing a darkness on the land. Typically the first major dungeon players reach after the opening stretch.

Shigh

Septemburg

Farmland trapped in perpetual autumn, where crisp air and fallen leaves conceal tantalizing and terrifying secrets. Crops have taken on a life of their own and merged with forest wildlife into unusually aggressive monstrosities. Once-peaceful farmers have turned paranoid and violent — fighting off tourists and turning unsuspecting folk into scarecrows. Weather is discordant with howling winds and frequent lightning.

Uhigh

Underlab

Mina's personal base of operations within (or beneath) Ossex. Functions as the equipment/trinket management menu and serves as the respawn point. Players visit the Underlab to swap among the 60 trinkets in the game, equip and unequip passive abilities, and reset between expeditions.
