The City Limits is an area accessible from the Escalator, Cloud Tops, and the Highway.

Features

The City Limits is a fairly large area, defined by its appearance as a countryside highway, just at the edge of civilization. In some screens, the player can see out into the distance and take in the fields and setting sun.

The main area starts off with two escalators. The one going down leads back to the Escalator, while the one going up will take you to a seemingly-isolated section of the Cloud Tops, where the Fairy, Bat, or Spacesuit effects allow you to advance beyond that section. Beyond the escalators are two roadways separated by trees that meet to the south.

To the north of the roadways is a barricade. These can be bypassed by moving between the obstacles. At the end of the left side of the road, there is a small rest stop underneath a pergola, with a distant view of some structure, perhaps a lighthouse. Beyond this is a white vine-like structure, leading to a hole in the sky. Chainsawing the vine will make an eye appear briefly in the hole. A white, static creature can also be found here, which reacts to using the Telephone and Fairy by moving in place.

To the south of the roadways, the Green Prince, robed and crowned in purple, will become visible on the right side of the road. Interacting with the water in the southern end will take you to the Ocean Storehouse. In the southern area, the barrier of trees is absent, so Urotsuki can cross to the other side of the road. Moving back north along this parallel road, the Prince will again become visible, this time on the left side. The Bat effect can be used to return to the first area to meet the Prince. He makes a sound when interacted with and can be killed with the Chainsaw. The Green Prince can also be reached by equipping the Cake effect and entering either side of the road, where he will meet you near the bottom. He will move faster and have an altered sound upon interaction. This seems to not work if you explore the northwestern road and return.

Going up the eastern road leads to a straightforward bridge with a view of the setting sun. An airborne object has a chance to appear each time the bridge is entered, and it will float from the east to west. At the other end is a car with its rear opened up. Interacting with the opened rear takes you to the Highway, and going further east leads past a tall streetlight and along another straightforward path to the Void Park.

Void Park

By the name itself, this area is a small, looping environment with trees, stacked hollow blocks, and statues over a black space. By heading northeast from the entrance, one can find a streetlight next to some trees in a triangle formation. By interacting with the streetlight, it will take you to Neon Face World if the Container Forest has been visited at least once.

Neon Face World

Neon Face World is another looping area, filled with square faces of varying neon colors that give off different sounds when trod upon, in which the larger pattern of faces is a smiling one, and just southeast of it is another pattern forming a frowning face. Its appearance is reminiscent of Graffiti World and Neon World from the original Yume Nikki. The streetlight below the smiling face pattern will take you to a small section of Container Forest, where the open container is a one-way entrance to the main area.

Trivia

• The Void Park panorama is from an ancient Chinese wine vessel.
• Before version 0.113h, the void park had a different music and no panorama background.
• Before version 0.113h, a barricade of cones at the end of left path in the area. Past this barricade was a small, looping and inescapable room with an elephant-like creature at the center. It got replaced by the room with the vine-like structure.

  Previously, the place where two roads met.
