## Places and Biomes

#### The Office

The Office is possibly the first ever biome or place in Golden Light. The appearance is rather self-explanatory. The area consists of rectangular hallways with black and white tiled floors and yellow and orange striped walls. Desks with computers and lamps, potted floor plants, cabinets, chairs, and pillars appear in larger rooms while halls are mostly empty. It was then remade into the Meat Corridors.

## Mechanics

#### Blocking

In early builds of the game, you were able to block incoming attacks with your melee weapon, reducing the damage you take by 25%.

#### Crane Game

The crane game acted as a small shop where you could grab another item like ammo. Interacting with the crane would illicit the question "DO YOU WANT TO PEE IN MY POOPOO" where you can choose either "YES" or "NO." Whether this used gold or not is unknown.

#### Afflictions

* Antidote: Cleanses your blood of poison. Throw it to purify a room of toxins. (Replaced by panacea.)

## Items

#### Painkillers

The initial healing item in early builds of the game. Picking it up guaranteed that you could heal yourself on the spot. They were removed from the game in favor of randomized items.

#### Ammo Pack

Instead of gun-specific ammo packs, the earlier builds had general ammo packs. It is unknown if it gave ammo to all guns or just the current one you're holding.

#### Consumable Bottles

The earliest version of the consumables, they weren't random items, instead, they were bottles you drank. It is believed they had the same effects as regular consumables.

#### Lockpicks

Lockpicks were uncommon items with which you could open locked doors. The number of lockpicks in your possession was visible by a lockpick icon to the right of your stamina bar, opposite of your gold (which was previously on the left). Since you could just break the doors with a melee weapon if you couldn't find any Lockpicks, this idea was ultimately discarded and locked doors now require to be smashed open.

#### Other

Items with unknown effects.

* A Goofy Looking Doll

## Characters

#### Ikarus

Ikarus was a black humanoid figure with a crown and cow skull on his chest sitting next to the entrance to the Gut, always pulling a large lever up and down. He recognized that the Gut becomes increasingly dangerous the lower you go, and could send you back one floor upwards if you were feeling overwhelmed. He would require 10 gold for his service, however. He was apparently too confusing to use and not many people actually used him in general.

Ikarus was later changed into an enemy when the Eternal Field. His physical appearance was unchanged despite being made larger and more involved. He acted as a sort of timer mechanic, chasing down the player and immediately pulled them into the Gut upon catching them. Where he sent you specifically is currently unknown.

He was later removed from the game entirely.

## Monsters

#### Pantyhorse

Pantyhorses were early alpha monsters that are predecessors even to the Mimics. These odd creatures patrolled the halls of the Office in the Early Alpha stages. Once found, they would immediately chase the player and took a quarter of your health with one attack. Since stamina didn't work as it does now and enemies couldn't lose you as easily, running away from them was not a particularly good option. Pantyhorses were also able to take 1 shotgun blast without dying in some cases, which made them even tougher.

#### Dummy

Dubbed Dummy by fans, this enemy is another Early Alpha monster. Its head would move left and right. A small white cube would appear next to it and look as if to punch the player. It was later remade into the Pantyhorse.

#### Unseen Eye Taker

The Unseen Eye Taker was the boss of the Meatwoods before getting replaced by Maneater. As the name suggests, it was a more powerful variant of the Eye Taker and almost entirely invisible. It still had its name (Blind Killer) listed on an achievement on the Steam page despite being removed for awhile. It has been completely removed now.
