Chapter 18 - New Friends
Synopsis Having escaped the horrors of the bleak dream, our heroes find themselves at the other side of the dome, where the Green District extends beyond the shore onto the near islands. Asking around for Doc Brown, Koru is able to gain the trust of the Greens by rescuing one of their children. The kid is truly thrilled by the experience, and his excitement slowly spreads amongst the others.

This allows Bolzo and his gang to herd them off to safety, while pointing Koru in the direction of the central island, where Doc Brown is waiting. However, as our friends try setting over, the Bleak Spirit appears and forces them to take a detour.

Trivia Having the Red Gang show up at the harbor wasn’t initially planned, but turned out to be a natural fit and a great opportunity to expand on Bolzo’s character.
 * The developer name for this level is “Father and Son”, referring to the two central Green characters. Of all the important NPCs, they are the only ones that have no actual names, being referred to only as “Dad” and “Son” (or “Kid”).
 * During development, this level was the first that was thematically tied to Koru’s actions inspiring those around him. When we saw that it could work, we wove that into the plotlines for the other districts as well.
 * Though this was the prototypical one, different aspects of the father-son-relationship can be found in Red and Blue District as well.
