Scene-01.8 is a Ψ-Ranked Scene of the DevRooms, discovered on 17/10/1989.
Scene-01.8 appears to be the image seen in an autorefractor1 in the real world, usually presenting itself as a road stretching forward with an endless field of wheat on both sides and a floating balloon or a distorted house at the end of the road.
Layout and Effects
Scene-01.8 can be divided into two areas ─ the Road and the Field of Wheat. The road is thought to be endless, but some have claimed to have reached the end. Visually, the road appears to be straight, but it may not be. This effect is currently attributed to the mental hazards in the Scene. The Road may present multiple appearances, including but not limited to dirt roads, concrete highways, and trestle bridges.
The Field of Wheat is a collective term referring to the various landscapes that appear on both sides of the Road, its name derived from what most wanderers see, a field of green wheat. Much like the Road, the Field of Wheat can take on a variety of appearances such as seedling fields, a colorful sea of flowers2, or even an ocean.
The left side of the Road is extremely dangerous as all wanderers who have entered it have been reported missing, with the exception of one wanderer who was able to escape. Per this wanderer's report, they immediately lost their vision upon entering this area, and felt a strong gravitational force dragging them away from the Road. However, they returned to the Road thanks to their strong sense of direction.
Exploration of the area to the right of the Road has been proved feasible. However, it is not recommended for wanderers to explore too far, as they may fail to return to the Road and get lost in the Scene.
A specific object will appear at the end of the Road when wanderers enter the Scene, which has bright colors and is usually easy to recognize, such as a house or a balloon. However, this object is regarded as a texture in most cases, as its size does not change as one walks along the Road. Only in rare cases does it appear as a reachable material object.
The landscape perceived by wanderers in the Scene is similar to the image seen in an autorefractor, with the most obvious sign being the restricted vision ─ a narrow circular field of view. Moreover, the landscape of the Scene will gradually get distorted as wanderers walk further along the Road.
