Soutarou's Room is where the player starts (and ends) the game. This room and its balcony are the only locations Soutarou can access outside of his dreams.
Author's Note: This article is still WIP as it misses info on the TA_BE_ mini-game, the balconies, the yawning, the Mental State variable mechanic, and the White Building event's second part. BGM and Images are also missing. They will all be added soon!!
Features
Soutarou's Room is a dreary living room situated in an apartment building where Soutarou resides. Soutarou refuses to leave his room through the door, and attempting to open it results in him shaking his head. However, if the player has collected all Effects, an Ending can be accessed by exiting the door.
There are various furnishings in the room, such as a table with a tissue box, a cup and a teabag on top, throw pillows, a night stand, a trash can, and a couch serving as the connection to the dream world. There is also a desk with a lamp and a rolling chair on the bottom right corner of the room. A Document can be found on the desk, which allows the player to save their progress.
Going to sleep will take the player to Soutarou's Dream Balcony.
When going to sleep there is a 1/365 chance -as long as the player hasn't acquired the Chains effect- that instead of being taken to the Dream Balcony, Soutarou will instead be taken to the Scarecrow Doll Void.
Alternatively, if the player has acquired the Chains effect, there is a 1/365 that the Suppressed Thoughts event will be triggered when going to sleep.
Soutarou's Dream Room
Soutarou's Dream Room is similar to the real world version with a few minor details being different. Notably, it is much tidier - the trash can is empty, the throw pillows are no longer to be seen on the floor and the table is empty. Aside from those, a device is now present on the night stand which may light up and start ringing randomly. Interacting with it while it's in that state will trigger the Hazy Memory event.
Here, the rolling chair can be equipped like an effect, by pressing the Z, Space or Enter key, letting Soutarou move around while seated, though he can not get off the chair until it is returned to the desk. Another disadvantage to using the chair as a speed effect is that the player is unable to enter some areas and interact with certain NPCs.
Sleeping in the couch here has a 1/10 chance of taking the player to the Dream In Dream.
Finally, the most noteable of all the differences is that the door to exit his room can now be opened, allowing the player to enter the Nexus and explore the dream world.
Scarecrow Doll Void
The Scarecrow Doll Void is a small dark area accessible from the couch in Soutarou's Room. As the name suggests, this area is empty save for the scarecrow dolls that surround Soutarou. The tiles in this area are not walkable, except for a few of them, so the player can only see a small part of it. However, there are no other points of interest as the rest of the map consists of the same dolls arranged in rows. The only way to exit this area is by using the Pattern effect or waking up.
Trivia
- The Scarecrow Doll Void area shares a tileset with Red Hand Labyrinth.
