Annotated map of the Birch Forest

The Birch Forest is an area accessible from Ornamental Plains.

Features

Birch Forest is an open, looping field populated by many tall birch trees. It's set against a black panorama with a scrolling green splatter. Heading away from the entrance, a pair of statues, the trees become more sparse. In some areas, the world appears completely devoid of trees save for some small patches.

Northeast of the entrance is a grey sign with a neutral expression, which leads to Sign World.

South of the entrance and slightly left, there's a standard red vending machine and bench. East from the vending machine is a pair of statues, and going through them leads to Oriental Lake. Heading slightly west of the vending machine, Urotsuki will encounter a patch of trees. Heading up into the center of them reveals a single birch tree with an apple. Interacting with it causes the apple to wobble, granting Urotsuki the Red Riding Hood effect if it has not been obtained.

South of the vending machine is an empty portrait. Interacting with it sends Urotsuki to a dark looping gallery with numerous chasers and paintings with unusual smiling faces, displayed in a grid pattern. The chasers are immune to Invisible and Crossing. Getting caught sends you to the Zalgo event in the Magnet Room, and thus works as a one-way connection.

In the eleventh column to the left of the initial starting position, a white portrait can be found. Successfully interacting with this portrait causes a cutscene to play, showing that the portrait in the main area of Birch Forest is now white. Shortly after the cutscene, the player is forced to wake up. Backtracking to the portrait in the main area of Birch Forest and interacting with it now brings the player to Thumbtack World. While the Glasses effect is equipped, the portrait reverts to an empty one, which will take you back to the chaser area.
