Village

The village of Béléou, which is found inside the region with the same name, is a typical Provençal hilltop village. According to the map, it is divided in 3 districts: the entrance of the village, the north of the village (or village heights), and the south of the village. These three areas are further divided in other sub-areas (which are, in turn, divided into other sub-areas at times), that will be presented below.

### Entrance of the village

The entrance of the village is divided as such:

* Entrance of the village
	+ Oliver's house for rent
* Abandoned village
* Alley (accessible through the South of the village)

#### Entrance of the village

   This is the first area that one encounters when entering the village of Béléou, and it is also the first zone that Emma sees at the beginning of the game. This entrance sets the tone for the whole village, with stone paths and houses, archways and a very rustic feel to it all. We can see a waterfall, and a bridge that crosses it. This bridge leads to the abandoned village, which is the old town where no one lives anymore. In this area, we can also find Oliver's house for rent, which is only available during Chapter 4: Young Woman Seeks Apartment (check the specific wiki page to know which choices lead to this chapter). At the west of the area, we see a big archway leading to the Main Street.

It connects directly with the country (outskirts), the abandoned village (entrance of the village), and the Main Street (south of the village)

##### Oliver's house for rent

It is accessible through the entrance of the village. Its door is next to the waterfall and the bus stop that we see at the beginning of the game. It is very well positioned if the player chooses to play the vanilla game, as fast traveling to the horse ranch will not take as long as with the other apartments that are available for rent.

It is a modern apartment with a red and white theme. It could be considered a loft because there are no walls separating the different spaces, except for the bathroom. As we enter, we see a red and white sofa with red spiral designs on the sides, and a chair with the same pattern. There is a coffee table in front of that sofa, with a basket and some decorative apples on top. There, the player can also find the alarm clock, which is useful to start the day earlier or later. The kitchen is small and simple, and it follows this industrial and modern design. A wooden staircase goes to the top floor, where the bed is.

This is the only one of the three apartments that has a visible bathroom. It follows the same red and white design and it doesn't appear to have a door, even if it has a wall separating the toilet and bathtub from the living room. This wall, however, does not fully close. The bathroom is equipped with a toilet, a big triangular bathtub in the corner, a toilet, and two drawers with clean towels and a decorative plant. There are also some shelves with plants and other decorative vases.

#### Abandoned village

The abandoned village represents the old town of Béléou and it is accessible through the entrance of the village. It is a very old and dirty area, with broken windows and structural flaws. It may have been the very first settlement of Béléou, or maybe the remains of a past expansion of the village. Either way, this zone is now completely abandoned and disregarded, and the only inhabitants of it are stray cats and Hugo. It is divided in three parts, the entrance, the middle, and the end, in which the camera angles keep changing.

    In the entrance area, the camera faces the entrance and the dark alleyway leading to the middle part. It is very dark, with barely any sunlight coming through, and there is a cat in the foreground, staring at the entrance.

    In the middle area, the camera angle changes completely to an overhead shot, and the scenery remains a very dark and unsettling area with low light, and disregarded houses and streets.

    The end of the abandoned area features a small archway with police tape on it, and a sign that reads "DANGER". Depending on the player's choices, this area might become accessible in later stages of the game.

#### Alley

The alley is categorized as belonging to the "Entrance of the village” area, although it is accessible through the main street (South of the village). It is a very idyllic area, full of lavender and other beautiful flowers and bushes. The sun rays come through the branches of the tree, creating a gorgeous scenery of lights and shadows. There is a fountain and some houses that are not accessible. This particular area's only purpose is to collect the Mayor figurine from the bench (see the Collectibles page for more information).

### South of the village

The sound of the village is divided as such:

* Main street
	+ Hilda's house
	+ Hilda's shop
* Town Hall square
	+ Chloe's house
* Church square
	+ Chloe's house for rent
	+ Church

#### Main Street

The Main Street is accessible through the entrance of the village, and the Town Hall Square. Similarly to the abandoned village, this area also has camera changes that divide the spaces.

Coming from the entrance of the village, the first image of the Main Street that we see is of a beautiful archway that leads into the area, followed by a house with two terraces. On one of the terraces, there is a woman who constantly sweeps the floor. In the game files, this woman's name is Blanche, and it seems as though she could be interacted with in early stages of development, but it is not possible anymore. In the west of the area, we see very shallow stairs that lead to the alley. The style of the houses remains medieval and rustic, with stone floors and walls, wooden beams, and tile roofs.

In the east of the area, we can find Hilda's house, which is a big wooden door with two mail boxes nailed to the wall next to it.

When entering the Main Street through the entrance of the village area, the camera will change close to some stairs that can be seen in front of a wooden bench. The camera will then face the stairs as long as Emma remains in front of them, but it will change again if she walks away from them. These stairs lead up to the higher part of the Main Street, the one that leads to Hilda's shop.

##### Hilda's house

The first room we find when entering Hilda's house is the kitchen, with direct sunlight coming in. It is very crowded with different jars of marmalade, bottles of milk, and other conserve jars. On top of the stove there is a kitchen hood with a picture of Hilda on it. A small archway connects this room to the next, which is the living room.

The furniture in this house is very old-fashioned, with dark wooden tables and bookcases made out of untreated wood. This room is covered with crooked pictures that are hanging on the walls. Some of them show a young, beautiful woman, which could be young Hilda. Others show Hilda with Father Louis, with whom she seems to have a good friendship. There are other pictures that are not that clear, but they are most probably pictures of Hilda's daughter, and ex-husbands.

In the middle of the room, there is a table with a checkered cover, where Hilda spends a lot of time alone or with her friend Luigi.
