Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visitors’ Joy: danger level 5–? | 41 | The park’s heart attempts to assimilate March 7th’s Six-Phased Ice. Its connections extend throughout the park, threatening to empower the monsters with an otherworldly force. |
| Hidden monster: Inukai, danger level 6 | 45 | After Inukai gathers the emotional organs, the visitors’ emotions and contaminated Six-Phased Ice merge into him. The resulting monster regenerates wounds and attacks with Six-Phased Ice. |
Layout and Attractions
- Exterior: Initially revealed beneath fog after the sky abruptly turns dark. Neon lights and operating rides contrast with the absence of ordinary visitors 5 6.
- Navigation: Maps are available at roadside newsstands. Despite its size, the park has straightforward routes and numerous signposts 8 13 15.
- Midnight appearance: Its other side is a decaying, living environment covered in fleshy growths and contaminated Six-Phased Ice 43 44.
| Location | Features and hazards |
|---|---|
| Entrance and ticket gates | Admission normally requires a ticket, and the automatic checker warns that unauthorized entry will trigger an alarm. Himeko destroys one checker and kicks open its barrier, leaving that entrance usable without inspection 5 9. |
| Rocking Ride | A noisy kiddie ride concealing a Paradise Wraith. Black mist emerges after Himeko smashes its head 6. |
| Wax Museum | Creates lifelike doubles from visitors’ memories, including their behavior and thought patterns. Its danger rating appears as a question mark; the hidden quest spans its first floor, second floor, and an unidentified location 10 40. |
| Darkroom | Contains the park’s heart, identified as the aggregate of the visitors’ joy. The heart disappears when the park changes sides at midnight 41 43. |
| Infirmary | Holds medicine, bandages, alcohol, painkillers, and emergency pills. Its hazards include the level-two Red-Nosed Doctor and a hostile patient 14 17 18. |
| Restaurant | The park’s only restaurant: a large, two-story building with perimeter food shops and central seating. Rated level one, it nevertheless contains threats reaching level three, including the Pig Trotter Rice King 19 32. |
| Haunted House | A level-three danger zone described as the most dangerous attraction on the park’s surface. Its toothed, mouth-shaped entrance leads into an interior larger than its exterior; visitors can occupy different versions of the same space 26 29. |
| Other rides and facilities | Roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, pirate ship, bumper cars, Spinning Teacups, and a convenience store. Duncan obtains a living pistol at the Spinning Teacups and uses the Ferris wheel’s dangers to kill another contestant 5 8 13 18. |
Exploration and Instance Rules
Access and Objectives
- Communication unlock: Arriving at the stop permits each contestant to speak with their three livestream commentators for ten minutes per day 5 8.
- Shared exploration: All contestants contribute to the same exploration percentage. Reaching 50% unlocks the route onward 8 13.
- Himeko’s mission: Raise exploration above 80% and obtain the stop’s hidden reward 5.
- Vehicle access: Contestants can leave the park to return to their vehicles and then re-enter, allowing multiple supply trips 24.
- Departure assessment: Leaving produces a grade and rewards. Weir’s initial B grade rises to A because he is the first contestant to depart, granting him 100 attribute points and unlocking point allocation 36.
- Next-stop deadline: The departing contestant must cover twenty kilometers within twenty-four hours; the timer begins upon leaving the park 36.

| 1% | 8 | Recorded after Himeko defeats the wraith in the Rocking Ride. |
| 7% | 13 | Displayed when Inukai begins exploring. |
| 47% | 31 32 | Remains unchanged after the group apparently clears the Haunted House, helping Weir identify that its real threat remains. |
| 67% | 35 | Recorded after Himeko destroys the Haunted House and reunites with her companions. |
| Maximum | 46 | Confirmed after the final monster is defeated and the park is restored. |
Contestant Combat
- Killing another contestant inside the park allows the victor to loot items and abilities and receive substantial rewards. Death inside also brings an additional punishment upon the victim’s country 8.
- Fighting other contestants is not a universal clearance requirement; the shared exploration threshold provides a route onward 8 17.
- WarGreymon reports that 130 contestants entered the park and that 41 had died from causes including combat, monsters, and traps 15.
- Inukai receives a separate mission to kill at least three contestants, offering Guardian Deity and skill draws, two train upgrades, and an upgrade for the Nine-Tailed Fox 13.

Fate of the Visitors
Himeko reconstructs what happened by connecting the visitor count, the Wax Museum’s figures, and the heart in the Darkroom. She supports her conclusion by matching a wax figure’s lipstick to the stain on an abandoned milk-tea straw 42.
- Bodies: Taken to the Wax Museum and turned into wax figures 42.
- Joy: Aggregated into the heart in the Darkroom 41 42.
- Other emotions: Separated and taken to the park’s opposite side. They appear as translucent people expressing emotions such as grief and anger 42 44.
- Emotional organs: Correcting the placement of anger, fear, grief, and worry causes the corresponding organs to disappear to the other side. Gathering all five organs allows the monster to be reborn 45.
History
March 7th’s Visit
Before Himeko’s arrival, March 7th visits the Haunted House and attacks staff who try to stop her taking photographs. According to Snake Man, she then runs toward the east gate. Six-Phased Ice fragments and a frozen, damaged section of the attraction remain behind 27 29 31.
Something within the park swallows a crystal containing March’s power and attempts to assimilate it. A route map later recovered by Himeko indicates that March has already traveled far beyond the park 34 41.
Himeko’s Exploration
Himeko reaches the park before the other contestants. Finding no attendant from whom to buy a ticket, she breaks through the entrance, earning an achievement and unlocking Imagenesis Arts. A recently abandoned milk tea leads her to recognize that the visitors disappeared suddenly rather than the park having long been deserted 5 6.
Her exploration brings together Taco, Washana, Weir, and Himechi Cat, whom she creates using a wax figure and Imagenesis. The group gathers medical supplies, food, water, upgrade cores, and modification modules from the park 12 17 24.
After escaping the Haunted House, Weir notices that its apparent clearance has not increased exploration progress. Himeko returns and destroys the attraction with a railgun, defeating its remaining threats. Washana and Weir subsequently leave, while Himeko and Taco return to the Wax Museum to investigate the hidden reward 32 34 35.
Midnight Transformation
After uncovering the visitors’ fate, Himeko warns the others to leave. Duncan and Taco depart, but Inukai remains in pursuit of the hidden quest’s rewards. At midnight, energy spreads from the heart, the heart vanishes, and the park’s other side surfaces 42 43.
Guided by a voice, Inukai rearranges the visitors’ emotions and gathers the monster’s organs. Their emotions flood into him, eroding his memories and allowing another consciousness to take control. Contaminated Six-Phased Ice becomes part of his body, producing a level-six hidden monster 45.
Defeat and Restoration
Himeko defeats the transformed Inukai with an Astral Express Trailblaze attack. The fleshy plants rot into sludge, the park’s two sides merge, and its time returns to alignment with the outside world at sunset. Damaged buildings—including the Haunted House and Restaurant—are restored 46.
Uniformed employees emerge from the Wax Museum and begin tending to the park. With exploration complete, Himeko leaves with Himechi Cat and Shut Up, then plants a Realm Anchor at the entrance before departing for the Mist District 46 47.
Permanent Astral Express Stop
- Permanent access: The hidden reward makes the park permanently open to Himeko, allowing her to return regardless of her current location 46.
- Onward travel: Leaving the park can take her toward a stop that is either unexplored or already being explored 46.
- Potential passengers: Special travelers may appear once the park resumes operations and may wish to accompany her 46.
- Realm Anchor: Installed at the entrance, the anchor contains Trailblaze power and enables travel between locations, even across the stars 47.
