Features

The Sands of Self is an expansive desert featuring strange purple pillars and even stranger NPCs that bear a resemblance to Urotsuki, albeit, deformed in odd ways.

Southwest from the entrance is a snail Urotsuki next to a door that brings you to Burial Depths A. If you immediately use the door again, it will take you to Blue Apartments, or back to this world if you use the door once more. If you leave the small area that the door is in, you will need to slide back up to it with the Penguin effect.

Most NPCs do not move aside from two that constantly follow the player around at a slow pace. One is a larger and wider Urotsuki with a flattened head, and the other is a more normal looking Urotsuki with subtly odd proportions.

The larger Urotsuki will react to the Twintails effect, making her blush slightly. She also responds to the Crossing effect, making her stop chasing you for as long as the effect is active. The smaller one with odd proportions will only react to the Chainsaw effect, which makes her melt and turn into one of the many crystalline pillars found in the area.

A mask can be obtained here - Heading directly up from the Pillar Ark entrance past the giant Urotsuki and the Snail will lead to one laying on the ground pulling its own mouth open, tongue rolling out. Interacting with it to try and crawl in will instead grant you the Sludge mask, turning Urotsuki into some sort of melted slime creature. Also there is a red cabinet with a four-pane window, which allows you to store and retrieve masks across multiple dream sessions. Each takes up one of four slots, and you can shuffle the storage order by rolling the Dice effect (You will always take out whichever one was put it last otherwise). Said cabinet can be found in many other worlds made by Bean, and storage is shared between each.

To the right of the Sludge mask Urotsuki is an Urotsuki with almost perfect proportions, trapped inside a large crystal, interacting with it takes you the Depths of Self. North of this crystal is a normal bench, and a giant vending machine-shaped Urotsuki. Making a purchase will always grant you an ice cream popsicle shaped like Urotsuki's head - with gumball eyes! Once again, further north, is a very tiny Urotsuki flanked by small crystals. Chainsawing it results in multiple loud, horrendous noises being played, including a painfully long sample of a baby crying. Urotsuki will be trapped in a small garden shaped like her own head, and cannot escape without waking up or using the Eyeball Bomb. Doing so will not cancel the baby crying noise.

Depths of Self

The Depths of Self are an underwater cave featuring more strange purple pillars and even more deformed versions of Urotsuki. Among them is a vaguely Teleport Rune-shaped Urotsuki that serves as a connection to Underground Runological Warehouse. Wandering around the area is an NPC that strongly resembles Urotsuki but with tanned skin, wearing a purple sleeveless dress and blue sandals, and carrying a drink in her hand. At the other end of the cave is a flashing silhouette that will transport Urotsuki to the Rune Dunes.

Trivia

The tree-shaped Urotsuki originates from an unused chipset in the games files.
The Chicken mask was previously found in this area. It was moved to Chicken World in version 0.126e.
