Po-Boy Bayou

**Po-Boy Bayou** is the first level in Other Tower.

The level first takes place outside in a gloomy marsh with several graveyards. The second half of the level occurs in the closed Gave's Grave Grub restaurant, though it resembles a mansion more than a restaurant.

The titlecard depicts an unamused Peppino chest-deep in water. The body of a Corpse can also be seen to the right.
