Currently in my sandbox I will document old versions of nostAlgic. Starting with world maps of ver. 0.01. Please feel free to adapt from my sandbox into the actual nostAlgic wiki if you want. I will be slowly adding more world maps and other things such as soundtracks, changelogs, and explanations of removed effects. Thanks for checking this out!!

NostAlgic ver. 0.01 World Maps
Most world names are ones I came up with myself, as a lot of these are exclusive to this version. (Well, we have no record of ver. 0.02, so there's no way to tell yet if that is indeed the case...) But there are a couple that have stuck around all the way to the current version.
A's ver. 0.01 Nexus
Clock World
Crystal Rooms World
Footprints World
Jewelry Road
Juice Sea (Drained)
Planaria Crib

NostAlgic ver. 0.01 Removed World Features
Clock World
This world features bent clock hands, numbers and letters, pocket watches, and broken glass shards strewn about everywhere on a black void. There are also some humanoid clock and calendar NPCs that make sound effects when interacted with. No connections to other worlds or any collectibles can be found, other than the connection back to the nexus.
Crystal Rooms World
This cave-like world is a labyrinth of mostly empty rooms. In between two rooms on the wall when going directly left from the Nexus entrance, a mural of a smiling sinister-looking figure can be seen holding a lantern, with the moon above them. On another wall elsewhere in the map is a decorative clock. Going south one room from the Nexus entrance is a white hole in the wall that leads to Garden Chair World. Going two rooms east of that white hole is one room that has a pillow with a knife on it what when interacted with, gives the Box Cutter effect.
Footprints World
This dark, mysterious world seems a bit empty at first; seeming only containing a small portable radio that gives the Radio effect upon interaction directly north and a bit to the east. Two white monsters fused together and a white monolith with a face can also be found. However, stepping on certain invisible tiles throughout the map will make A freeze in place and cause footprints and handprints to rapidly appear all over the place. The monolith will also have its mouth wide open, although attempting to go inside it will display the message 「この先開発中です」, indicating the area beyond is under construction.
Jewelry Road
This peaceful world has a highway shaped like a crescent road in the middle of a windy valley. Going west a bit, then north reveals a machine of sorts with three round slots. A must find and interact with three colored gems throughout the map and bring them back to the machine to unlock the next area. Once this is done, A can visit an oasis shaped like a crescent moon. There is both a 1 in 11 chance and a 1 in 12 chance there will be a mermaid(?) sitting by the oasis. The RNG is rolled twice per room entry.
Planaria Crib
This world features a big background panorama full of pink and blue hearts. Salmon-colored mollusk eggs can be found dotting the map. Directly to the north, there is an upside-down V formation of Planarian flatworms. Passing through the formation makes more them appear all over the map. A small cottage can be found east of the formation, but it's locked. Another planarian flatworm can be seen following A. If A equips the Box Cutter effect around it, it will run away from them. Killing this flatworm will reveal the key it was holding, which can be used to unlock the aforementioned cottage.
Inside the cottage are two babies sleeping in their beds. Trigger warning: this event is pretty vile (murder, blood, gore imagery) Upon equipping the Box Cutter effect and killing both babies, hearing their cries and waiting for a while, A will hear the sound of someone frantically knocking on and trying to open the door. When hearing these knocking noises, attempting to leave will result in the door flying open and a big mess of blood spilling into the room before the screen cuts to black and A suddenly wakes up.
Waving Hands World
This world features many hands waving, with the waves revealing the panorama background underneath. There is also a hand that looks messed up and glitchy. There seem to be no other points of interest.
Minigame
A minigame exists on A's real world balcony. It can be played by interacting with the gap in the railing and hitting the first option on the first choice branch. To play a version that skips the opening dialogue, hit the second option on the second choice branch.
You control a very fast airplane. The object of the game is to destroy all the television sets by colliding with them while dodging the remote controls, as they are indestructible. You are given an A, B, C, or D rank based on how many TVs you are able to destroy (worth 1 point each) before time is up. You are also penalized by 1 point for colliding with a remote control.
