Features

Runic Ruins is an area made up of floating cubes, some of which move when stepped on in order to bring the player to other areas.

Upon arriving from Mountain Range, a vending machine is nearby as well as a ledge that can be used to sit. Continuing to the right and stepping on the first floating block, there are three options to proceed. Going down, there is a block that descends the player to a small section that has another vending machine and a construction sign. Going up and behind a block progresses the player further. Going more to the right and behind some blocks leads to a separate area, the Ice Path Puzzle.

Ice Path Puzzle

The Ice Path Puzzle is an area that functions very similarly to the slippery ground in Toy World, where once landing on the ice, the player will move in that direction without the ability to control themselves, until colliding with a wall, or stepping on a normal block. Further north of the area leads to a broken rectangular object that unlocks Menu Theme #66 upon interaction. The only way leave is to go back the same way, although the exit path will vary slightly compared to the initial path due to how it's designed.

After acquiring the Menu Theme and returning to the main area, the player will find that the area has changed in appearance in that it is snowing, some blocks are frozen, and the music has sped up slightly, giving it a more lively atmosphere. The change persists across different dream sessions. Note that the change only occurs if backtracking out of the Ice Path Puzzle to the main area after the Menu Theme is unlocked. It may be possible to permanently lock yourself out of seeing the change if waking up or using the Eyeball Bomb effect after unlocking it.

Further in the area are more passages and shifting blocks, ending with a one-way connection to Moonlight Lantern Forest.
