In VRChat, a wide variety of content is released day and night, from game worlds where you can play with friends to scenic worlds perfect for relaxing. In this series, we will pick out and introduce some of the most visually appealing worlds from the vast number of available worlds.
The world I’m introducing today is “Destrict 1 Impure Zore – Old Business District,” a world themed around a near-future Japan where supernatural phenomena exist.
“Destrict 1 Impure Zore – Old Business District” is a world belonging to the creative group “Shingisho Koan Taima Tokushi Rokka Yatagarasu” (Sixth Division of the Ministry of Divine Affairs’ Public Security and Demon Slayer Special Task Force), which is active in “VRChat”. The group creates videos, music, and 3D models based on the theme of a fictional police organization called “Yatagarasu,” and their official website features videos of their activities and the story unfolding within their world.
In this world, an event known as the “Great Catastrophe” occurred throughout Japan in 2038. It resulted in many deaths, and since then, supernatural crimes have surged. The department newly established to deal with this problem is “Yatagarasu.”
This world, “Destrict 1 Impure Zore – Old Business District,” is set in an area that was on the front lines when the “Great Catastrophe” occurred. It is one of several designated sealed-off areas in Tokyo, and no reconstruction has taken place, with the scars of the disaster still vividly visible in various places.
Upon entering the world, the first thing you notice are abandoned cars and scattered supply crates. The chaotic situation at the time is conveyed through these silent objects.
After walking a little further, you reach a major intersection. This area is even more dilapidated, with what appears to be a military vehicle abandoned in the middle of the intersection.
Furthermore, there are signs and graffiti scattered throughout the buildings and walls, presumably written by survivors or people who remained in the area, which further enhances the sense of “desolation.”
“Destrict 1 Impure Zore – Old Business District” is a world where you can leisurely explore a meticulously crafted ruined city. While there are elements scattered throughout that will spark your imagination, there are no direct horror elements such as “jump scares.” This is a welcome feature for those who are not fond of that genre.
Why not explore the aftermath of the “Great Calamity” in the “Destrict 1 Impure Zore – Old Business District”?
