Vending Machine
	The same as above, except it is covered in ash.
	This vending machine is badly broken and also seems to be slightly rusted. It only sells empty cans which grant no hearts (of course, because they're empty) for 10夢.

The Scorched Wasteland (赤土, Akatsuchi, Red Earth) is an area accessible from Floating Stones World through the cactus-shaped stone.

Features

When entering, the Scorched Wasteland is a red-tinted area containing cacti singed black, possibly the bed of a dried-up sea. Despite the setting, several organisms remain alive and well here, including crabs, some sea urchins, and some small mites that run directly away from the player when touched. Directly to the west is a fenced-off area with a small cabin, which takes you to the Ash Settlement when entered.

If you attempt to make it rain with the Teru Teru Bouzu effect, the sky will turn dark and all of the cacti will turn into hands, reaching out towards the rain clouds.

North-west from the entrance is an NPC in a yellow cloak near a wire-fenced corridor. By chainsawing the cloaked figure and entering the corridor, you will be taken to a path scattered with pieces of broken ships. The crabs here walk in sync, and equipping the Penguin or Grave effects will cause the shadows of dolphin-like creatures to appear on the ground. Along this path is a rusted vending machine which sells broken, empty cans for 10夢 and several broken wooden objects on the ground; continuing west from here will take you to The Ark.

If you attempt to return to the Scorched Wasteland on later visits, the cloaked being's yellow cloak will be hiked on a pole in his honor. At this point you can no longer visit the Ark; if you try, you will instead find that a one-eyed seal is in its place. If you exit back into Floating Stones World and reenter, the cloaked figure will be revived and the Ark will return.

There is an alternate entrance here from Atlantis; if the screen is tinted red, a uniquely shaped piece of coral in the Trench area will serve as a one-way portal to this area. It leads to a cactus sitting in what appears to be the last of the water in the entire area.

The Ash Settlement

This is an area similar to the Barracks Settlement from Yume Nikki - dilapidated housing surrounded by wire fences with red, skeletal beings walking around. Two of the shacks will have open doors; one leads to a small room with a person aggressively sitting in front of the tv playing a video game. If you equip the Wolf, Telephone, or Trombone effects, the gamer will put on headphones, as these are the effects that make loud noises. In addition, they will stop playing if you use the Crossing effect.

The other shack has a plant in it that when interacted with will cause the area outside to turn grey as piles of grey snow fall over the scenery. The NPCs that were in the settlement area are now a dark grey instead of red, and the water that surrounded one of the cacti appears to have frozen. The yellow cloaked being now has a different design, and the wire fence path is filled with what appears to be shells and other hard parts of dead organisms

The Ark

The Ark is a huge black boat behind more wire fences, with a small bedroom containing a large window, a bed, and what appears to be a wardrobe. If you go to sleep, the screen will randomly fade to black and Urotsuki will wake up in the middle of a terrible storm, and you won't be able to leave the ark when you go outside. Sleeping in the bed once again, the world will now be colorful when you wake up and you can safely exit the ark onto a red wooden dock. After sleeping in the bed, it is not possible to return to the Scorched Wasteland without the Eyeball Bomb.

Traveling east will lead to a sectioned off platform viewing the new blue and gold background. Using the Rainbow effect here will make a rainbow appear. Sometimes, a whale-shaped plane will be flying past.

Going west, you will see another whale, and will ultimately end up at the colorized version of the penguin area. This area is shaped like a manta ray; you can see its eyes, its fins, and its tail. If you use the Fairy effect, the tail will scrunch up. At the north of the manta ray is a large staircase; although it is blocked off by construction signs, interacting with one will trigger a full-screen event, where the camera scrolls up the image of the stairs to reveal that it leads into a huge glowing object in the sky that resembles the sun.
