#"alterna

Welcome to Cryogenic Hopetown!

-The theme of this area is ‘hospital’. The sick and injured of Alterna came to this place for medical care-- in the worst cases, their bodies were frozen, in the hope that they might be revived in the future. A future that, ultimately, never came…

-There are lots of medical tools lying around: you can give Smallfry a checkup if you like. ^^ You don’t know much about Salmonid physiology, but he seems to be in good health.

-The outpatient garden is a great place to relax. It seems other animals have started living in Alterna too~

-In the hospital itself, you can find a biometric monitor to put on, and through it gain access to your ‘Wellness File’: a physiological/emotional observation record maintained by O.R.C.A. It will allow you to view Agent 3’s reactions to certain events and features of the environment– explore and interact with as much of Alterna as you can to fill the file~.

-In a lower collapsed floor of the hospital, you can still find some occupied cryogenic tanks. According to O.R.C.A., these people cannot be revived– energy imbalances as Alterna was destroyed disrupted their storage conditions, and at this point they have essentially been mummified. Still, the idea of waking them up and talking to them is interesting to think about.

-Wellness File ###: Elevated heart rate, elevated adrenaline levels detected Neurological signals indicate recognition and attention. Patient ‘Agent 3’ may be excited, surprised, or mildly disturbed.

-The hospital lobby contains a ‘crystal mirror’ that shows you your desires: happy scenes with trusted friends, playing on repeat. It’s a little embarrassing to watch, so you try not to hang around it.

If my inkling, O.R.C.A., and all Alterna itself mixed together, that's how I imagine it would look like 🤍

222 Alterna After going through the Crater, we arrived at a land called “Alterna”. It was once home to a fairly advanced civilization, though they no longer exist. In the center of the six sites, there appears to be a rocket launch pad.

223 The Memories of Alterna live on in the Relics A massive shelter that is the last thing built by humans who escaped from the rising sea levels. These survivors named the place “Alterna” to express their regrets for their past deeds and their wish to build another Earth, free from the boundaries of things like time and race. The islands floating in the waters of Alterna are decorated with monuments that resemble famous landmarks from around the world, as if to recreate the Earth as it once was. Despite its subterranean location, the sky is visible, but this is due to the liquid crystals applied to the walls of the cavern, which emit light to imitate the sky.
