Answered Prayers:Shrine: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:20, 30 June 2022

Template:Infobox locations The Shrine is a small building where the player can save and enter the Nexus for exploration.

Features

The Shrine is a small Shinto shrine built on a Knoll. There are stairs and a torii gate leading up to its entrance. Inside the shrine is a well, where the game can be saved, and an altar, at which Fluorette can pray.

Real World Shrine

When Fluorette prays at the altar, her spirit floats out of her body, demonstrating that she never physically leaves the shrine. She is then taken to the spirit world version of the shrine. Fluorette does not want to leave the real world version of the shrine, and if the door is interacted with, she shakes her head and says Nuh-uh!

Spirit World Shrine

Once Fluorette enters the spirit world, it becomes possible to exit the door and visit Nexus. The lighting in this version of the shrine is brighter, and instead of the storm raging outside, one can hear the sounds of cicadas. Nothing happens when interacting with the altar in the spirit world. If the "9" key is pressed while in the spirit world, Fluorette breaks out of her trance and is taken back to the real world shrine.

Directions

Knoll (one way)
- Shrine - Enter the Shinto shrine at the end of the path.
  - Nexus - Pray at the altar and exit through the door.

Trivia

As of version 0.03, the well inside of the spirit world shrine is gone. In past versions, one could access Game Boy World or the Debug Room by interacting with it.
A Shinto shrine's purpose is to house gods, but it is unknown what is worshiped at this particular shrine. One possible clue is related to the torii gate, altar, and Nexus all featuring the Buddhist manji symbol. If all the Prayers are gathered, a shadowy figure called "Her" in the game files appears, and orders you to "Leave." A manji obscures her face, and thus it is possible "Her" is the god housed at the shrine.
