User blog:Rextomoa/Black zone



Black zones are mysterious, expansive places which possess a very eerie vibe when first entered. The first documentation of these “Black zones” appeared in June 6th, 2019 after multiple users on the ROBLOX forums started a thread regarding their venture into these Black zones. The criteria for an individual to end up in these Black zones is unknown, but using the current evidence we have gathered, it is known that users can end up in these expansive zones randomly at any given time. Most of the users caught in these zones were in games which either “had too many players or too few players”.

When first entered, the user itself acts as a light source, allowing easy navigation through the Black zone, despite anything within more than 20 studs being shrouded in Black Fog. There does not seem to be much, but certain users have come across the following:

-A blossom tree, except all the blossoms have turned black and are void of any feature.

-Debris from what can be seen as plane wreckage.

-Japanese text (made using actual parts rather than text decals), the only known texts found (thanks to the help of google translate) that have been found are: “The children fell once the green troops came” and “The red rays have finally collapsed”. One anonymous user speculates that this may refer to the Nagasaki & Hiroshima bombings, alongside the Troubles, which was a conflict in Northern Ireland from 1960-1995.

-Basic stone shrines with not too many depictable features.

-Tendril growth from the ground, appears static.

There seems to be nothing that would typically “chase” or terrorise the player which would be seen in a clićhe spooky place. The player is completely alone, with the only sound being the footsteps of said player. Users have tried finding the “end” of these Black zones but it was recently discovered that the zones are seemingly infinite. Some users have also mentioned of areas in which they took damage in gradually.

The creator of the Black zones is unknown as you can no longer access the Black zone again using the “recently played” tab, making it very difficult to trace the creator. Some have speculated this to be an Easter egg, whilst others theorise these to be the result of failed games. It’s been rather difficult to link the message of these places to the atomic bombings of WW2 Asides from the plane debris. The tendril growths are probably the most out-of-place feature in the Black zones, as they appear as organic textured and certainly do not link to anything, one user said it could be symbolic of Slender Man, a popular fictional Creepypasta but this was later disregarded.
