Outside World: Difference between revisions
(Isami isn't really a 100% official character, since ZUN seems to have only created her profile... She's somewhat same as Seihou characters. Plus, who knows where she lives...) |

The Outside World (also called the Human World, Real World or Our World) is the non-fictional world of fact and reality we all live in. Nobody in this world knows the existence of Gensokyo as the Hakurei Border keeps it all sealed away from our world. No Youkai live in the outside world.
Geography and People
People from the outside world can sometimes get lost while wandering around. This can lead to them entering Gensokyo without knowing it, where they will be eaten by Youkai, should they fail to find the Human Village or the Hakurei Shrine. If they find the Human Village, they'll be escorted safely to the Hakurei Shrine and be able to return to their world once again. They'll just think they entered a mysterious place and usually think it was just an illusion, then later forget about it. If outsiders refuse to return back to their world, they're forced to take up residence in the Human Village, however, they rarely choose to stay.
Our world is confusing for the residents of Gensokyo, and even Akyuu doesn't fully understand it. When an object is forgotten about and/or not seen by humans for a very long time, it gets transported to Gensokyo. Rinnosuke tends to find objects from our world as they sometimes fall near the Kourindou.
Maribel and Renko are currently the only named official characters known to live in the outside world today, in Kyoto, Japan. Isami Asama, Tatsumi Hakkaisan, Rumi Arie and Amakasu Barley Tenji, who are known to be at the Twilight Bar Room, which is the setting of Uwabami Breakers, are also somewhere in the outside world where only drunkards live, in Japan. Their exact location is unknown. Layla Prismriver formerly lived in a mansion that is now called the Poltergeist Mansion which was located in the outside world, but was transported into Gensokyo by the invocation of an unknown ritual. She may now be deceased.
Some residences and locations in Gensokyo used to belong to our world. Examples include:
- The Moriya Shrine, moved from Lake Suwa to Gensokyo in order to gather more faith. It moved with Sanae Kochiya, Kanako Yasaka and Suwako Moriya;
- The Scarlet Devil Mansion, an European mansion that was moved to Gensokyo simply because it was forgotten. It moved with Remilia Scarlet and Flandre Scarlet;
- The Poltergeist Mansion, transported into Gensokyo by the invocation of an unknown ritual. It moved with the Prismriver Sisters;
- The Probability Space Hypervessel, implied to have stayed in Gensokyo the second time around. It carried Chiyuri Kitashirakawa and Yumemi Okazaki.
The "Outside World" in Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream
The profiles of Chiyuri Kitashirakawa and Yumemi Okazaki appear to conflict with our version of the "outside world". In the world they come from, a grand unified theory has been completed, and it is normal to graduate college at the age of 11 and graduate school at 13. It is possible that they, along with the Probability Space Hypervessel, come from some separate world. On the other hand, it's stated in Magical Astronomy (which takes place in the near future of the outside world) that gravity has recently been unified with the other forces (IE, the grand unified theory has recently been completed).
The Moon
Located up hight in the sky. Residents of Gensokyo are able to see the Moon every night. See this article for more information.
The Twilight Bar Room
The Twilight Bar Room is a place where only drunkards live. It is unclear where it is located. See this article for more information.
"Seihou World"
This is the primary setting of the Seihou Project games, along with Samidare. It is set in the future, but it may not be in the outside world, but some separated world. See this article for more information.
