Answered Prayers:Green World

Green World (previously called Macabre World) is one of the four main areas accessible from the Nexus.

Features

The Green World has a parallax background resembling a grey spiral that moves over a black floor. The bright green and eye-catching colours of some NPCs and floor tiles contrast with the spiral, making them stand out vibrantly. Ghostly wafts of mist float around alongside silently glitching grey NPCs. Patches of swaying white lilies also dot the landscape.

Right from the entrance, the use of the manji symbol is evident. Four pathways begin at the entrance and end at green, glitching NPCs called Blobmen. No NPCs in the Green World can be interacted with (or harmed by the Shovel prayer) except the Blobmen and a friendly Chimiko. If you enrage the wandering Chimiko by hitting her with the shovel, she will send you to the Playground.

The Green World seems to be constructed to aid the player. For instance, two arrows guide the player to the Nexus, and another arrow south-east of the entrance points to the brightly colored, morphing door to the Glitch World.

The Tall Geta prayer has been located in this world since version 0.03. These sandals are the speed effect of Answered Prayers and make Fluorette walk faster. There are two short-cuts to this prayer. One option is to follow the trail of green tiles south-west from the entrance. Another option is to go left from the entrance until Fluorette bumps into a Blobman surrounded by green tiles. The green tiles around the Blobman are similar to layout of the flowers around the sandals, hinting that they are nearby. Go down from there to find the tall geta.

Green Hallway

The Green Hallway is accessible through the green gate northeast of the entrance. The hallway is made out of bright green tiles and green drops that fall outside the path. This pathway leads to the Outlands.

Directions

Nexus > Green World - Enter the green door.
- Green Hallway - Enter the gate north-east to Nexus door.
  - Outlands - Go to the end of the hallway.
- Glitch World - Interact with the teleport node at the end of the long arrow south-east of the entrance.

Trivia

As of version 0.03, Macabre World has been renamed Green World in the game's files. NPCs and graphics were changed to green. The same is true for the Green Hallway.
The white lilies resemble the lilies in Sky Garden from Yume Nikki.
If interacted with, the Blobmen respond with a buzzing sound and morph into a sequence of signs that resemble the ones in Symbols Maze. This indicates they may be attempting to communicate with Fluorette.
Klau's inspiration to add the tall geta prayer was the movie Princess Mononoke.
Originally, Klau considered having the player find the tall geta sandals broken. This would require them to fix the sandals by paying a Chimiko in the city, providing a use for the money system.
Macabre World was a very different world compared to what Green World of today. Some of the differences in the Macabre World included:
- The soundtrack was different - instead of a gloomy tune, it played a menacing and somewhat nonsensical joining of telephone beeps and radio noises.
- The Blobmen stayed in a glitched form after being interacted with.
- Large pools of red liquid covered the area. Grey jellyfish were found in the red liquid pools, and a glitched blue one with eyes took you to Glitch World
- Blib from the Arrow Lane was there, was coloured red and followed you around if interacted with. If not interacted with, it would fly around in circles. It played a different sound effect and neither reacted to you equipping the Shovel nor activating the Phantom Prayer - which in this version made you invisible.
- There were three motionless Blips with muted colours. These Blips were surrounded by ice.
- Some gloopy black/red statues were present.
- Chimiko was not in this version.
- The hallway leading to the Outlands has a very different appearance now and actually looks more like a hallway.
