Wonderworld

**Wonderworld** is the main location in the game Balan Wonderworld. The titular character, Balan, invites Emma Cole and Leo Craig to Wonderworld's adventures in twelve different tales.

## Information

"'Everyone thinks hearts are individual islands, which is to be expected. The thing about islands, though- deeper down, they're all connected. It's what we call Wonderworld, this most happy land. What some scholars call the 'collective consciousness,' but who knows if any truly understand... Regardless, you cannot get here by car or train; only through my theatre, simple and plain.'" - Balan, II Transformation

According to the novel, Wonderworld could be compared to the collective consciousness. That's the closest anyone has gotten to explaining it in a comprehensible way. The only way to enter Wonderworld is through the Balan Theatre, which only appears to those whose hearts are unbalanced.

## Trivia

* After an inhabitant rebalances their heart and leaves Wonderworld, they do not recall their stay. Strangely, this is not the case for the game's 12 inhabitants, as well as Leo and Emma. They remember their visits in full, however some merely dismiss it as a dream. That is, until the inhabitants run into each other in the real world.
