Other Side: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

In Obenseuer, a preview of the Other Side is seen during the intro, on the course of the game player acquires the OsRat device along an Black Amulet to enter the Other Side whenever they please and are near entities from that realm. Player may also enter an Other Side-like area when they clip through the map, falling into the void.

==Layers==

Other Side does not appear to be a singular plane, but rather a collection of transition states one can enter to a varying degree. People studying the Other Side, such as [[Father Tobias]], determined there are at least 5 layers of the Other Side.

===Layer 1: Black Noise===

The first layer into the Other Side, encountered mainly in INFRA.

The layer overlaps our world and is characterized by visible monochromatic light spectrum and a thick black fog. Certain entities can traverse this layer without otherwise be seen in our world.

In INFRA, Mark can enter the Black Noise on few occassions, while consuming a Special Coffee brewed by the [[Puzzle:Mulex_Copan_Coffee_Machine|MulEx CoPan coffee machine]], or when drinking a Green Mushroom Drink left at Iva's birthday part in [[Tenements|Turnip Hill]].

In Obenseuer game, there is no clear distiction between Black Noise and Red Noise, and the characteristics of what would be considered Black Noise appear to be localized within specific map areas.

===Layer 2: Red Noise===

The second layer into the Other Side, encountered only in Obenseuer game.

As with the Black Noise layer, the Red Noise also overlaps our world. In addition of retainly primarily a monochromatic visuals, certain sources of light and Green Mushrooms appear bright red to human eye. The most notable characteristic of the Red Noise is a presence of red particles filling the space.

From within the Red Noise it is possible to encounter the shadow figures of deceased peoples and communicate with them, as this appears to be the place people are trapped in after their death. People that are still alive in our world, appear as large bright glowing orbs in the Red Noise. In the layer it is also possible to occassionally find Red Things, another, yet smaller, glowing orb-like entities that can be collected and help reduce [[Fungal Disease]] when done so. Certain aspects of the Red Noise appear to be able to leak into our world, like an audible breathing of certain shadow figures, or the signals OsRat picks up.

In Obenseuer game, the Player can enter the Red Noise when the OsRat device detects a shadow figure or a Red Thing. Player also should be able to enter the Red Noise when their Fungal Disease progression is advanced and they have consumed large quantities of Green Mushrooms. Leaving the vicinity of the shadow figures or the Red Things will disconnect the Player from the Red Noise back to our world.

===Layer 3: Waste===

The third layer into the Other Side, possibly encountered in both games.

The main characteristic of the Waste layer is a presence of strong deadly ionizing radiation, matching what is encountered in the [[Wasteland]] and [[Under Map]]. In those two areas, the Other Side is no longer overlapping our world, instead it is its own physical space one can explore freely without changing position in our world. These locations however are still filled with various items originating from our world, such as phones, metro trains, helmets or street lamps.

===Layers 4 and 5===

Not much is known about these further layers, and they have not been documented by other characters.

It is possible the area encountered in [[Deeply Insane]] quest in Obenseuer game is located in either of those layers. The area is characterized by an unknown rock-like or flesh-like solid ground with an open sky. This is the area where the [[Red Rocks]] are found and possibly naturally originate from.
