The Overgrown City is a deeply nested dream world reachable from the Industrial Maze.

Features

The Overgrown City resembles a town that has been abandoned and partially reclaimed by nature. It's devoid of life but for a few odd entities. For whatever reason, the Bat effect cannot be used in this area.

The entrance from the Industrial Maze is a manhole in what appears to have once been someone's back yard. A short path here leads to the Main Area.

Main Area

The main thrust of the map is extremely large, though it doesn't loop, and you'll run into traffic cones if you head too far east or west. Throughout the area are figures that vaguely resemble Steve "Leif" Kareha from Yume Nikki.

You'll encounter various rows of houses if you continue downwards:

The second row from the top has a doorway on the far western side that leads to a small looping white area. Within this area is another door that leads to a path in front of a strange entity. Continuing left will lead you to the Chaotic Buildings.

On the fourth row from the top there is a secret room accessible on the eastern side, through the pitch-black alleyway next to one of the lamp posts (marked by a steel-blue circle on the wiki map). This room has different music and contains a strange golden statue.

If you continue further south, you'll arrive on a long empty road, and the music will switch to an ominous piano riff. There is a black cat-like creature here that will follow you around if you have the Wolf effect on. Killing it has a 1/6 chance of giving you 500夢.

The road continues to the east and eventually turns north. There are small steps here you can descend to walk among the flowers growing in front of the overpass. A large orange creature can be found here and killed with the Chainsaw effect.

If you instead go over this overpass to the east, the road will diverge going north and south.

To the north, beyond a winding path through the abandoned buildings, is a massive creature with what appears to be a ball of scrap iron for a head and an enormous straitjacket. If we allow ourselves a moment of whimsy, perhaps this is what caused the disaster here in the first place.</whimsy> Approaching this entity unlocks Wallpaper #193.

The path south eventually goes off to the right. Heading this way will lead you to the Aquarium.

The Aquarium

The foliage-covered road to the aquarium winds towards the northeast, past a strange bird-like statue. The aquarium itself has an unassuming entrance and front room, but the back room holds beautiful, deep-blue tank with silhouettes of jellyfish floating by. The exit of the building is down the hallway in the middle of this room — but beware: once you walk down it, a cone will appear behind you and make it impossible to go back. Continuing down the steps leads to the Victorian Drains.
