The Shadow Lady Estate is a mansion accessed through a northern path in Decrepit Village.

Features

Exterior

The estate's exterior.

From the Decrepit Village, Urotsuki arrives on a mossy brick road leading to the mansion. It's raining, though the thick fog is gone.

Upon arriving at the Estate's front yard past the open fence, you'll be met with its exterior, built from dark brick and lined with many windows. Much of the front is covered in ivy and vines.

Standing guard above two of the windows are two Shadow Bird gargoyles. Using effects that create loud noise, such as the Telephone or Drum effects, will cause them to stare at Urotsuki. Each time a noisy effect is used, there is a small chance they will jump down and chase Urotsuki, banishing her to the Attic of the estate if she is caught.

The front doors lead to the Interior of the mansion. The gargoyles will stare at Urotsuki as she enters.

Interior

This area begins with a large Victorian-Gothic foyer lit with sconces. Several Shadow Ladies can be seen walking around. Chainsawing any of the estate's residents will turn them insane. They will then send Urotsuki to the Attic if caught, much ike the gargoyles outside.

Several of the rooms in the estate have lit fire places. Using the Teru Teru Bozu effect anywhere in this area will extinguish them all.

Western side

To the west of the entrance is a sofa with a Shadow Lady on it. If Urotsuki sits on the couch and looks to the left, she will meet eyes with her.

The doors on the westernmost wall lead to the spacious Study. Here Shadow Ladies sit reading books at long tables. There are tall bookshelves and potted plants throughout, as well as a small sitting area with a lit fireplace.

The western wing also has a set of double doors leading to the Fainting Room. There is a small chance upon entering that a Shadow Lady will be resting on the couch and the fireplace lit. She will glare at you if you brandish the Chainsaw, but it is impossible to attack her.

South of the Fainting Room are two bedrooms. The one on the right has a cat named Tiger sitting on the bed who mewls when interacted with. Tiger does not react to any effects other than Crossing and Chainsaw. Attempting to chainsaw the cat will cause it to let out an angry meow, attracting the ire of a crazy Shadow Lady who will attack Urotsuki when she leaves the bedroom and wake her up.

Eastern wing

The doors on the eastern wall (to the player's right) lead to the Kitchen and Dining Room. The Kitchen has ornate wallpaper and cabinetry, as well as a sink that can be interacted with. To the south is a Dining Room. Here many guests sit quietly at a large dining table, but Urotsuki cannot join them, as only the chairs in the corner are interactible.

Also in the eastern wing is a set of double doors that leads to a sparsely furnished hallway with piano music playing. Continuing further left leads to the Piano Room, where the music is more audible. Here Urotsuki can sit on the fainting couch or interact with the barrier in the middle of the room, which causes the camera to pan over to a Shadow Lady playing the piano. Equipping the Chainsaw effect or using the Crossing effect will cause the piano-playing Shadow Lady to stop. The Chainsaw will make her angry until it is unequipped. Equipping the Child, Fairy, or Dice effects will allow you to go underneath the barriers to the left side of the room.

Below the set of double doors leading to the Piano Room are two bedrooms. The one on the left has a sleeping clone of Urotsuki curled up inside the closet, much like the Closet Madotsuki from Yume Nikki.

Southern wing

The southernmost set of double doors leads to a wide Living Room. The Shadow Ladies here send her to a unique trap location if chainsawed. Interacting with the closet on the top-right of this room leads to the Mannequin Maze.

Mannequin Maze

The Mannequin Maze.

The Mannequin Maze is a dark isometric area. Here Urotsuki must navigate around many wooden mannequins dressed as Shadow Ladies.

Points of interest along the path include a mannequin near the end of the first segment who stares at Urotsuki, a ghostly shadow lady with her back turned, a series of erratically placed windows, and a shadow lady on an isolated platform who refuses to look at Urotsuki.

At the very end of the maze is a construction sign next to an open closet. This closet leads to a Carpeted Room with blue- and purple-striped wallpaper, a flickering television, and giant plush toys. Several effects, when equipped, will make both dolls cover their eyes, namely Stretch, Grave, Chainsaw, and Marginal. The doorway at the north leads to a room with two faceless stuffed dinosaurs, one of which Urotsuki can sit on unless she is using the Bike. The dinosaur in the foreground appears to be clipping through the wall, though this is intentional, and cannot be sat on.

The final corridor leads to a flickering television blocked off by construction signs. As Urotsuki draws closer to it, the static noise it creates grows progressively louder.

Directions

The Nexus → Oil Puddle World → Digital Forest → Finger Candle World → Obsidian Plains → Originator Garden → Fluorescent Halls → Famished Scribbles Area → Solstice Forest → Bright Forest → The Second Nexus → Blooming Blue Lagoon → Decrepit Village → Shadow Lady Estate

After entering the Rainbow Ruins at least once:

Nexus → Urotsuki's Dream Apartments → Bright Forest → The Second Nexus → Blooming Blue Lagoon → Decrepit Village → Shadow Lady Estate

Trivia

The black and white cat in one of the bedrooms, Tiger, was added by the request of a player whose cat had passed away prior to this area's implementation.

-After entering through the creaky front doors, the player is lead to a main hall within, where you may access the east wing, the west wing, or the southern area. Much of the decor and furnishing inside are heavily inspired by Victorian aesthetics with a very distinct Gothic flair. The halls here have many wall sconces, windows, and red curtains framing the walls, and every now and then you may see columns lining the halls. A few Shadow Ladies can be seen wandering around here; chainsawing any of the estate's residents will turn them insane and lock you in the Attic if they catch you, much like the gargoyles from the exterior.  In the far east, you can find a sofa with a Shadow Lady sitting upon it. If you sit with her, she will meet eyes with Urotsuki if she looks to the left.

+To the west of the entrance is a sofa with a Shadow Lady on it. If Urotsuki sits on the couch and looks to the left, she will meet eyes with her.
-The carpeted doorways in the east wing only lead to the '''Study,''' one of the largest rooms available in the estate. Here, you can see many of the residents sitting at tables, reading or not doing much at all. The Study itself is quite spacious and has a fireplace to sit and relax at, where a portrait of a Shadow Lady is hanging above. Many tall bookshelves and potted plants can also be found, here.
+The doors on the westernmost wall lead to the spacious '''Study'''. Here Shadow Ladies sit reading books at long tables. There are tall bookshelves and potted plants throughout, as well as a small sitting area with a lit fireplace.
-The west wing has two doorways leading to a tiled kitchen area and a dining room south from it. The kitchen itself has striped wallpaper different from the rest of the Estate, and has what one may expect from a kitchen including a stovetop, ornate cupboards and cabinets, and a sink that the player can interact with. The dining room in the south has many guests quietly sitting at the table with silverware and napkins, although the player cannot join them. The two spare dining chairs in the corner, however, can be sat on.
+The western wing also has a set of double doors leading to the '''Fainting Room'''. There is a small chance upon entering that a Shadow Lady will be resting on the couch and the fireplace lit. She will glare at you if you brandish the [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Chainsaw|Chainsaw]], but it is impossible to attack her.
-Just south of the initial entrance are two rooms that can be entered. The east set of doors lead to a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fainting_room fainting room], a private, antiquated room from Victorian homes that often contained fainting couches for women to lay on. Upon entering, there is a small chance you may find a Shadow Lady resting on the fainting couch with a lit fireplace, who will glare at you if you brandish the [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Chainsaw|Chainsaw]]; despite this, however, it is impossible to attack her. The west set of doors lead to a brief hallway with boxes and a bookshelf, where you may hear soft piano music playing. As you draw closer to the proceeding doorway, the music will grow louder. In the proceeding room, you can sit on the fainting couch near the exit, or interact with the middle barrier, which causes the camera to pan over to the Shadow Lady until the player moves.  Using the [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Chainsaw|Chainsaw]] or [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Crossing|Crossing]] effects will cause the piano-playing Shadow Lady to stop, while the former will make her angry until it is unequipped. Equipping the [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Child|Child]], [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Fairy/Yousei|Fairy]], or [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Dice|Dice]] effects will allow you to bypass the barriers. You can chainsaw the Shadow Lady, but doing so will once more trap you in the attic.
+South of the Fainting Room are two bedrooms. The one on the right has a cat named Tiger sitting on the bed who mewls when interacted with. Tiger does not react to any effects other than [[Yume 2kki:Effects#Crossing|Crossing]] and Chainsaw. Attempting to chainsaw the cat will cause it to let out an angry meow, attracting the ire of a crazy Shadow Lady who will attack Urotsuki when she leaves the bedroom and wake her up.
-South of the fainting room and the piano room are four bedrooms that can be entered, some of which are occupied. The level of decor in these bedrooms vary, and all of them have closets that can be opened. The second bedroom from the left has a black and white cat, named Tiger, sitting on the bed, who does not react to any effect other than Crossing, and mewls when interacted with. If you attempt to chainsaw the cat, it will let out an angry meow, attracting the ire of a hostile Shadow Lady who will catch and wake up the player should they exit the bedroom. The third bedroom's closet contains a clone of Urotsuki curled up inside, much like the [[Yume Nikki:Closet_Madotsuki|Closet Madotsuki]] from Yume Nikki.

-The long, southern hall leads the player into the heavily-carpeted '''living room''' where the player may sit on the couch in front of a cozy fireplace alongside bookshelves and chairs, in the company of several Shadow Ladies, who send the player to a unique trap location if chainsawed. A closet is located in the right alcove, which leads the player into the '''Mannequin Maze'''.

 [[File:Mannequins..png|The Mannequin Maze.|thumb]]
-The Mannequin Maze is a dark, winding labyrinth of wooden mannequins dressed in the same black hats and dresses donned by a typical Shadow Lady, set upon a series of brown, isometric paths. This area has a few interest points, including a mannequin near the end of the first segment who stares at the player, a curtained area with a ghostly shadow lady with her back turned alongside another mannequin, windows pasted erratically on one of the pathways, and a shadow lady on an isolated platform who refuses to look at the player.
