Northern Retreat

The Northern Retreat is one of two settlements in the north fork of Glitchland. It contains the Glitchology Museum, three houses, and a man who looks like the Safari Zone warden that gives a hint for the Lost Woods, though you can only reach him by using ?????.

   I heard rumors about a very
   wise old man living deep
   in Northern Glitchland.

   If I ever found him, I would
   definitely ask him a lot of
   questions!

```

### Balding Guy

```
   With every day, I see more
   and more glitches in the
   wild.

   Corrupted tiles are randomly
   scattered around the map...

   I fear that one day, the
   corruption might even be
   TMZ4
   TMZ4
   TMZ4
   TMZ4
   TMZ4
   TMZ4

```

### Warden lookalike

```
   You found me? How did you
   know I was hiding?

   Please don't tell anyone I'm
   here, okay?

   In exchange, here's a hint to
   help you in your adventures.

   You know about Lost Woods?
   If you walk for at least
   100 steps and go south, you
   might find something cool!

## Houses

The Northern Retreat contains three houses.

### North-west house

This house contains a Blackbelt who mentions that no other fork of Glitchland has more than one town, unless you want to count Deliria.

   Northern Glitchland is very
   special, in that it has two
   towns.

   Each other district of
   Glitchland has one.

   Of course, the Western
   district has Deliria, but
   that doesn't qualify as a
   town for me.

```

### South-west house

This house contains a chef who will tell you how many maps you have visited so far.

```
   Hello! How much of the
   world do you think you've
   seen?

   Let me quickly have a look
   now...

   ... ... ... ...
   ... ... ... ...

   So, [username]...
   You have seen [number] unique
   places in this world.

   I will continue to keep
   track of your record.

   Come back whenever you want
   to see your progress!

```

### South-east house

This house contains a Hiker and his Clefairy, POOPBUTT. If your FUN Value is between 0x3D and 0x41, two more people will be in this house talking about a man who lives past the Path of Pointless.

Hiker:

```
   Giving nicknames to your
   Pokémon is very important.

   It promotes forming strong
   emotional bonds with the
   Pokémon you catch.

   That's why I give a name
   to every Pokémon I have!

```

And if the player's FUN Value is favorable:

```
   Oh, I have guests, too.
   You can join in!

```

Clefairy:

```
   It's a Clefairy!

   It also has a name tag.
   Its name is 'POOPBUTT'.

```

```
   I saw a guy walking in
   that pointless path in
   Western Glitchland.

   He's a strange person.
   It's as if you took all
   of the Internet's memes
   about introverts and stuck
   them all to one human being.

```

Woman:

```
   I feel sorry for the guy
   who lives in that abandoned
 cabin in Western Glitchland.

   All alone, away from the
   civilization.

   I bet if he had any friends,
   they wouldn't even bother to
   come so far to meet him.
   What a loser.

   I also heard him playing the
   GSC Lucky Channel theme
   every two months or so.
   I wonder what he's up to?
