Trivia

  • A polarized light is a light source which light waves are filtered to a specific polarization.[2]
  • Many map nodes are connected like a sine wave[3]
  • Although Polarized Light is considered the most impactful Event in the game, it was also left drastically unfinished with 2/3rds of the story being left untold. This is largely due to the sudden Covid-19 outbreak in February, causing majority of the citizens in china to self quarantine themselves for their own safety. This resulted the event lasting for 2 weeks longer than usual totalling in almost 6 weeks, but also resulted in Chapter 5 being unfinished and rushed. The epilogue of Polarized Light will be continued in Chapter 13 as a result.
    • It'll be unlikely that the event will last this long when it reaches other servers.
