Map of the Expanded Corridors

Expanded Corridors is an area accessible from the gigantic cone in Fish Person Shoal.

Features

This area is a labyrinthine complex of tight, winding corridors, featuring multiple elements from other worlds by Takikomi. By the entrance is a bench, a construction sign, and an enclosed bunny from Blue Sanctuary. Continuing along the path leads to a trapped orb.

Continue east past the orb to find a few doorways, with one blocked by a red construction sign. The leftmost doorway leads to a sprawling corridor (see below). The middle one leads to a set of three open doorways, and from there, the unlockable connection to the Chaos Exhibition can be found by going all the way west and interacting with a blue cone. Ignoring the doorways and taking the eastern corridor leads to a dead end that houses a walking bowl of snowman soup. Interacting with it takes Urotsuki to Miso Soup Dungeon. After Expanded Corridors has been visited, the connection from Miso Soup Dungeon will be unlocked..

Head south at the orb and west at the fork in the path to find a sector of boxes. A box may be seen moving by itself. One of the boxes blocks the path, backing away if the Chainsaw effect is equipped. If attacked, it lets out a typical scream and drops 100夢. Following the southern path leads Urotsuki past a trapped chaser from the Candlelit Factory, then to branching paths. Taking the western path past the blue trees, the TV, and some boxes leads to a familiar blue cone in a shallow pool of water. Behind it, small paintings of what appear to be the Twin Mountains line the back wall. Interacting with the cone leads to the Chaos Exhibition and unlocks the connection between these areas.

Go south from the orb and east at the fork instead to find a corridor that snakes past a cone blocking a smeared bloodstain. A sign on the wall lies at the end. Walking up to it changes the path behind Urotsuki. This leads to another set of paths. The northern path ends at a single doorway to Tiled Abolition. Inside is a large and mysterious pale thing. Urotsuki will refuse to go any further. Attempting to go down cuts the screen to black with static noise, then places Urotsuki outside of the room. Heading back, the southern path loops around to a set of three open doorways.

At the three open doorways, the leftmost doorway leads to a cone that can be pushed to access the box sector. The second doorway contains a short maze, ending at a small pond and a construction sign. The third doorway connects to the path east of the orb, near the connection to Miso Soup Dungeon.

Continuing west past the three open doorways brings Urotsuki to an unwalled bridge across a void. Above the void is strange blue graffiti, like the one seen in Party Playground. Past here are branching paths. The northern path goes back to the box sector. The southern path ends at a corner with multiple vending machines. The western path leads to the Chaos Exhibition.

After entering the sprawling corridor, Urotsuki will come across a harmless chaser from Flamelit Wasteland, stuck and set ablaze. This corridor features a tiny doorway, which can be entered using the Fairy, Child, Grave (while active), or Dice effect. Inside is a small room with a ledge, splattered with bloodstains. Urotsuki may jump down at her own risk, since it leads to an inescapable, seemingly infinite pit. Navigating through the pillars eventually leads Urotsuki to a warp point, which wakes her up. However, past the small doorway is a box below a smeared bloodstain and a path to the east that ends at a small pond. South of the bloodstain is an unwalled web of narrow walkways over nothingness. On the other side is an object blocked by a construction sign to the west and a peculiar cat-like monitor to the east. Interacting with the cat plays a beep, softens the music, and swaps the screen's appearance to a CRT monitor depicting Urotsuki and the cat in the Somber Establishment. Doing any action exits the screen.

Trivia

The mysterious thing in Tiled Abolition is reminiscent of the Yellow Polygon in Somber Establishment and the weird room in Fish Person Shoal's deeper Shoal Caverns. The large lake in Blue Sanctuary conceals a similar area.
- The appearance of Tiled Abolition was altered in version 0.123a patch 3. It was slightly altered in version 0.123c.
