The Thumbtack World is an area accessible from Birch Forest after surviving the chaser subarea.
Features
This world is a black and grey void filled with thumbtacks and pushpins. It starts off as a linear teleport maze, where interacting with colored pushpins teleports you between them. At the end of the teleporting section is a large box containing a large variety of chasers. Navigating the box successfully allows you to access the other half of the world, a large void containing many blob chasers and a blue gate leading to the Beyond.
The chasers in the box include a Shadow ???, Shadow Bird, Shadow Gloop, Robot Guard, a chaser from the portrait area of Birch Forest, a squid-like chaser from Abyssal Garden, a chaser seen in Haniwa Hollow, and a chaser from Brutal Sewing Landscape.
The chasers can send you to isolated areas or wake you up. Yumebako's chasers function the same as in their respective areas. The other chasers have results similar to the chasers in Onyx Tile World and the Intestines Maze. The Shadow Bird will trap you on top of an isolated building on the Highway, and the Shadow Gloop will trap you in a different isolated section of the Highway. The Robot Guard and Shadow ??? will send you to an isolated section of Purple World. Interacting with the tube-like creature near the bottom will send you to an isolated section of Garden World. Interacting with the tube-like creature again will bring you to the main area of Purple World. Going north instead leads to two one-way connections through the fence: the end of the chain-link path to Blue Forest on the left, or a hole to an isolated section that looks like Blue Forest with a warp to The Hand Hub on the right.
If Variable #44 is above 200, a blue pushpin will appear east of the blue gate and northeast of the entrance from the chaser box. This will then lead to a white pushpin that takes you to a small black room with a red-haired girl. Interacting with her with the Child effect equipped will change the music and make the pin purple, which will then lead you to a narrow pathway lined with paintings of closed, bloody eyes.
Only if you have visited the president's room on Floor 6 in the Secret Society and interacted with the bow mentioned below, interacting with the pink dissolving heart painting at the end of the clearing has a 1/164 chance of leading to an isolated cliff section. Urotsuki will make one of her "I can't do that" noises and look away after interacting with it.
Exiting the clearing through gaps on the side will allow you to explore the void outside, where you can find a clearing with spider lily flowers, a blue crossing sign, and a bow in a puddle of blood. Interacting with the bow will make the screen flash white, unlock a door in the Beyond, and fulfill part of the unlock conditions for a secret portrait area in Graveyard of Repentance. Returning to the purple pushpin and interacting with it will place you south of the pushpin that leads to the girl.
Cliff
Successfully meeting the aforementioned 1/164 chance while interacting with the painting will place Urotsuki below a black frame in an area filled with birch trees and spider lilies. Heading north of the black frame reveals an unknown figure at the edge of a cliff overlooking what seems to be Teru Teru Bozu Pond. Interacting with it will trigger a cutscene that will wake Urotsuki up and unlock a special room in the Secret Society.

Unlock Conditions for Burgundy Flats Connection
- Read the book in Graveyard of Repentance's secret portrait area (the second page of the book is not required because it is unlocked by using the isolated Burgundy Flats connection).
- Your current Variable #44 value is over 200.
- You have the Child effect.
After these conditions have been met, you can interact with the blue pushpin, then equip the Child effect and interact with the pushpin that leads to the red-haired girl's room to instead be taken to two isolated sections of Burgundy Flats that you cannot return from.
