Worlds

Every door in the Corridor opens on one of 77 worlds. Each one bends a single rule (gravity, light, time, the locals' patience) and has its own land, creatures, dangers and rewards.

When a door swings open you glimpse which kind of world is behind it. The doors nearest your home door only lead to Calm worlds and worlds with Strange physics, so a first trip is survivable.

Worlds marked Guide have a full walkthrough; the rest show what the game tells you on arrival.

Calm

Beautiful, quiet, and not as safe as it looks.

BlockbusterGuideFriday night at the video store. Be kind, rewind. EdenGuidePerfect, peaceful, and very hard to remember leaving. Harvest HomeGuideA county of hedged fields and thatched roofs where the industrial revolution never happened. Everyone farms, the mill turns by water, and the year goes round. LanternfallGuideSmall floating islands over a sea of golden cloud, where every dusk the lanterns rise. The LibraryGuideShelves without end, a card for every door, and books that must come back. Mirror SeaGuideA sea one block deep that reflects a sky where the stars never set. MonsoonGuideIt never stops raining, and the water rises every day. Paper WorldGuideA gentle world folded from paper. Mind the fire, and mind the water. SkyreachGuideIslands in an endless sky, and winds that carry anyone willing to jump. The WanderlandsGuideGolden meadows where the houses walk on tall bird legs, graze in herds, and sometimes need mending.

Strange physics

Gravity, size and space play by other rules.

AntimatterGuideAnything you bring here and set down annihilates. DioramaGuideA valley built by hand, on a table, in a room. Somebody is still working on it. Giant's GardenGuideYou are a quarter of your size. Grass is a forest, and a beetle is a bull. Hollow EarthGuideThe inside of a world, with another land hanging overhead. LilliputGuideYou are three times your size. Mind where you step. Low TideGuideGravity at a third. Jumps carry ten blocks and the mobs float too. Patchwork GravityGuideEvery shard of earth in this sky keeps its own down. The Testing GroundsGuideAn underground facility, sealed for forty-one years, where a warm voice would like you to take a test. UpsideGuideThe ground hangs overhead from a bedrock sky, and everything you let go of falls up to it.

Hostile

The world itself wants you dead.

Breach CoastGuideA harbour behind a wall, and something in the sea. Listen for the siren. Clone FieldsGuideNothing here dies alone. Kill one, and two more get up. Fungal BloomGuideThe ground breathes spores. Fire clears a path; nothing else does. Glacial SilenceGuideEndless ice. Stand still and you freeze; make a sound and they come. The HiveGuideGiant ants rule the plains. Smell like one of them, or keep your distance. Isla ÁmbarGuideA dinosaur park eleven days from opening, the night after the power went out.

Ruin

Something ended here before you arrived.

The AshlandsGuideA volcanic winter. The air itself is the enemy; cover your face. Black MoonGuideTonight the moon fell in on itself, and a little town is falling up into it. Drowned EarthGuideThe seas rose a hundred blocks. Only the rooftops remember the cities. FathomGuideA brass city at the bottom of the sea. Its founder is gone; his signs still point the way.

CaravansGuideTowns ride on the backs of enormous walking beasts. ColdhearthGuideA people who never discovered fire, in a world where a flame in the open gutters out in seconds. Everybody's AcreGuideEvery yard of it is somebody's. The stake says whose, and what they want for it. Glass CityGuideTowers of glass on a white plain, kept by sentinels who remember every broken pane. The GridGuideThe computer won. Its programs built a city of light in the dark, and they still tell stories about the Users who made them. Then one arrives. Iron EmpireGuideAn empire of legionaries where honor decides your trades and an insult means a duel. Laguna SecaGuideThe real Laguna Seca, metre for metre, in golden hills on a summer afternoon that never ends. Sign up at the Race Office and race for the trophy.

Spire CityGuideA city of steel spires where everything has a price, even the way home. The TuningGuideA city where it is always night, and at midnight everyone falls asleep but you. WakefallGuideA city where everyone who dies wakes up in their own bed, and the only crime is breaking one.

Light

The sun, the dark and what lives in between.
