I’m going to wrap things up (for now) with a visit to Falln Amusements. FallnAngel Creations, purveyors of artwork, furniture, food, decorations… well, a lot of stuff, has a number of regions. As such, they were able to dedicate a surprising amount of space in their twisted little amusement park to pure fun.
That isn’t to say that they don’t try to sell you something at every turn. Just click on things. The Jack-in-the-boxes at the entrance are for sale. The broken “Terror Ride” is merely an excuse to walk through the (admittedly amusing) collection of torture devices, coffins and noses for sale.
But there’s also gobs of rides and amusements in every direction. The rickety-looking roller coaster (best experienced in mouselook mode) may take center stage, but a bit of wandering will turn up bumper cars, a skee-ball game, a carousel, a ship swing, and a scary-fast spinning swing ride. It’s a trip to Heave Central on that one.
Did I miss anything?
Oh, yes, the central lake has a submarine that you can take for a spin. There’s also a fishing spot on the shore.
I said that the amusement park is twisted, but it’s really just a matter of style. Everything looks rusted and rickety, but nothing is going to fall apart on your or do anything surprising (much to my disappointment). I half expected this ride to come crashing down around me, which would have been so cool.
A movie theater is used as a space for selling, among other things, artwork and prim food. Take a moment to say hello to the Eliza-like teller. Scintillating conversation there.
Up on a snowy peak you’ll find a cardboard box you can sit in and slide down the mountain. Amusing Calvin-and-Hobbes-esqe snowmen are worth the walk up the mountain (and they’re for sale, of course). A little Gypsy tent village turns out to be a venue for selling those same tents.
Jam-packed doesn’t begin to describe it. At every turn there’s something new to try out, which keeps you looking around an encountering more things to buy,. Giant trees? For sale. A field of mushrooms? For sale. Flaming pumpkins? For sale. It would feel like overkill if it weren’t for the fact that free carnival rides serve to balance things out. You can’t escape finding something for sale, but really, that’s the point.

Bonus:A noticed a lot of people in the region according to the map, but I didn’t encounter many during my exploration. Naturally I suspected bots, and went hunting for them. Instead I found a decidedly complex labyrinth 750 meters in the air. It seems that there’s at treasure hunt going on.

As I said, I’m wrapping up this series for now, but keep your eye open for new adventures under this same tag sometime in the future.
Wow – i can feel a group trip with my friends coming on
