The Violence District (also known as The City or Violence Street/Violence Road), is a coastal urban area within the dreamscape. It appears to be in perpetual nighttime, and is filled with evidence of criminal activity including corpses, bullet holes and graffiti. The city contains alleyways, docks, high-rises, streets, warehouses, and overpasses. This area may be seen as representative of a nightmare.

Many of the objects and events that can be encountered in this area have negative influence on the player's mood rating in chart if linked with or observed, scoring more often in the "downer" sections of the chart and causing more red links than other objects. The negative influence is most notable if the dream ends whilst still in the Violence District.

Speculation[]

Violence District may be inspired by a story from the Dream Journal LSD: Dream Emulator is based on called "A Violent Town, a Headless Man", a story which is accompanied by this image. Despite the cheery, colorful nature of the image, the story is about the man seen in the image suffering trauma of the head in which half is removed. In the story, he and his wife search for the criminal who caused this trauma. Nishikawa, the observer of this story, is surprised how the man is still alive as well as still functioning normally, even after a large portion of his head and brain are completely removed from the violent attack.

Other references to Violence District might include passages from the Text Dreams "I'm being spied on" and "The shop-keeper has got my back", which possibly reference similar criminal activity as to what happens within the District. The warehouses may have come from the "A Seaside Warehouse" journey entry, as well.

Trivia[]

  • The player can occasionally spawn on top of a building. When this happens, taking a step in any direction will either cause the player to fall to their death or to appear safely in an alley below. The outcome of the event is decided by the generations mechanic.
  • Occasionally, parts of the Violence District will stretch upwards after looking up at the Starship. This can happen even without looking up. On rare occasions, this can happen more than once.
  • The Violence District is one of the main locations connected to the Natural World via a tunnel.
  • The Violence District's sky never changes from dark blue. In the demo, the sky was red, but the color was changed during the development, presumably to achieve the more realistic feeling to the nighttime city.
  • The C variants of the Violence District's soundtracks are corrupted and do not play.
