The Garden

The Garden of Vurrus (usually referred to as just 'the Garden') is the main setting of DashBored. It is located in a pocket dimension. The Garden is ruled by Vurrus, who takes people who "have lost their will to live, and float endlessly in their own self pity."

The Garden is held together by a substance known as "Corruption" or "the Pravum." It keeps the Garden stable, at the expense of mutating the inhabitants of the Garden.

## Locations

### M&J

Midori & Jack's Garage and Country Store. This is where the game begins, with Nicolas waking up in a house to the east. The store is the party's base of operations - Midori and Jack live here, and it contains the SAPU Memory Analysis Machine as well as an inter-dimensional aircraft.

This area also has a bar to the far east, which has a fighting ring in the back end.

### Ovok

Ovok is located to the northeast. It's a small town whose only notable buildings are an abandoned orphanage and an inn. The area of Undersyde is found underneath it.

The secret town Gourdmoore is located here on day two.

### Undersyde

Undersyde is an area that can be found directly underneath the town of Ovok, it can be presumed this is the reason why the town is named "Undersyde". You will be forced to enter Undersyde during your first encounter with Madame Lochhart.

Undersyde possesses traits of the stereotypical towns commonly found within movies and literature of the western genre, taking place in a desert-like environment surrounded by steep cliffs. The residents are portrayed in a very similar manner, possessing traits comparable to the settlers commonly found within the same genre of media.

Undersyde can only be exited through a cave that has been contaminated with harmful chemicals, which will lead you back to the town of Ovok. Upon exiting Undersyde, you cannot return.

### Gourdmoore

Gourdmore is a hidden area that can be found within the town of Ovok on the second day, presuming the player has fulfilled the requirement of obtaining the Pumpkin Key.

The residents consist of humanoids with traits comparable to the traits of a pumpkin, hence the name "Gourdmoore".

Among these residents, the player may encounter Eloise, a ghost who is seeking her Pumpkin Locket in hopes of finally passing on. Upon giving her this locket, she will realize that she cannot pass on, and will join the player's party.

Due to the fact that Nicolas is a human, most of the residents within Gourdmoore will be startled if you attempt to converse with them, proceeding to flee. If you disguise yourself using a Jack-O-Lantern, you will be able to converse with the residents without being of any disturbance.

### Roke

Roke is located to the southwest. It is a crime-infested city which contains the Roke Water Treatment Plant. Isaac's gang is based here, and they keep the frogs at bay in the sewers.

On the second day, the player discovers that a metro station that goes by the name of the Garden Metro has been constructed below Roke. Roke is one of the major stops on the Garden Metro.

### Coton

Coton is located within the southeast region of the garden. The town of Coton is located within a dead poisonous wasteland. Due to being contaminated by a toxic pollen that falls at all times, very few living creatures can reasonably survive within Coton for long periods of time. It is implied by Alex Asboth that the town wasn't always in this state of disarray.

There are very few residents within the town of Coton, with the population only consisting of the mayor, numerous goths, and a humanoid of an unidentifiable species, who reminds the player not to do drugs.

On the second day, the player discovers that a metro station that goes by the name of the Garden Metro has been constructed below Coton. Coton is one of the major stops on the Garden Metro.
