Young Town

Anodyne map SUBURB

Suburb full map

Young Town (or SUBURB in the files) is a monochromatic area.

Description[]

It contains friendly people, known as Suburbanites, and hostile black-colored shadow people, known as Killers. The killers cannot be harmed but can harm Young. They're ghosts, as hinted at by the Suburbanites' dialogue.

According to rock signs, Young Town was founded sometime in the 90s by Mayor Ying as part of a series of ongoing housing projects.

When Young first enters the town, he sees two Suburbanites walking about. When he tries to talk to them, he ends up stabbing them to death. However, once Young tries to initiate conversation again, they appear to be able to converse with Young. 

The residents inside the houses seem to be curious about the commotion going on outside (which may indicate that they are aware of the murder that has happened), and some dialogue reveals that there HAS been a murder going on (which would explain the Shadow People).  At one point, Young can walk in upon a man who has hanged himself, and Young can read a note that describes the man as "placing [himself] in danger no more." 

What makes this such a twisted story is that Young's Broom has been changed into a sword (which may not be noticeable at first), which means that he is implied to be the murderer of all of the Suburbanites. The stories that the rocks tell makes this more disturbing. One girl says that Young "look[s] quite familiar," too.

Young can stab other Suburbanites to death as well, though they don't seem to be affected by this, other than not being able to move from their spot of death. They will continue to talk as though they are describing what they were doing, before their death.

Carved Rocks[]

  • On his fifth visit, Mayor Ying grew frustrated at the lack of parking lots. This parking lot reflects Ying's frustration of the lack of parking lots. Ying would occasionally park in this parking lot on subsequent visits.
  • I remember the long sentences I used to write. Ha! Fragmented.
  • ---YOUNG TOWN--- Please beware of some of the citizens. They do not play well with others...tread carefully. Now, Young Town was founded sometime in the '90s by Mayor Ying as a part of a series of ongoing housing projects, the name chosen as a reflection of Ying's denial of possessing the name Ying, and assertion of possessing the name Young. We'll hope you enjoy your stay.
  • To the west are the legendary temples of the Seeing One. To the east is our wonderful Mayor Ying's apartment, which has been since closed off from visits to the public - trespassers beware.
