Eldritch Location / Webcomics

• Blood is Mine:
  • The library is an entity that is "smaller than a god, but bigger than a man". Being inside it messes with your senses (you don't need to have your eyes open to see, but you need them to hear). It looks like an infinite library full of books in incomprehensible languages, but you can only take books that are meant for you specifically, or you will incur the wrath of the librarians. The shelves have no walls, instead you can see stars and planets behind them.
  • The "error room" is located behind "a door that had to open somewhere, but had nowhere to go". It's a place that shouldn't be and it contains "things that never were, people that aren't, and events that didn't happen". Most people can't perceive the room, but Jane isn't most people. She sees it as a mirror version of the Zone Fifty bunker that has an alternate version of herself inside it.
  • Bunker X is a former Zone Fifty site, but the key to it was gained through a magic ritual that involved trading with interdimentional entities. It's a place where reality is thin and the rules of the universe don't work correctly. It is, essentially, a Bonus Dungeon with dangerous enemies inside and useful rewards at the end of each level.
  • The red is another dimension that can be used to manifest and manipulate biological material. It's infinite and time and space don't really exist in there.
• The Corpse in Coga Nito is a blue-tinted forest studded with random chunks of orange machinery, so named because neither the trees are alive nor the machinery functioning.
• In Demon Thesis, the four main characters attend a small liberal arts college in Canada, when a manipulative entity from another dimension begins altering reality. Only afterward do the main characters learn that their school was originally founded by an occultist who knew that the location was a place where our dimension was unusually close to and could interact with other dimensions. Said occultist intended the university to inform about the dangers of this and form a line of defense against threats, but over time the school transformed into a fairly normal university and most occult/supernatural elements have been discarded.
• Homestuck:
  • The Furthest Ring, a Place Beyond Time which is the home of the Horrorterrors, the Green Sun (a star with the mass of two universes, which breaks several laws of physics), and the afterlife (which exists as a series of Dream Bubbles). It is said that if one were to draw an accurate map of the place, the result would be a page completely and uniformly covered in black. Time and space behave in incomprehensible ways in the Furthest Ring, and both become less reliable the longer you stay (or the further you go). For example, when Dave and Rose try to fly out to the Green Sun, they end up arriving in the distant past.
  • Dream Bubbles themselves may count, as within them the conventional laws of time and space don't apply, as one can warp from memory to memory, effectively traveling forward and back in time and anywhere in space. Locations can even converge in such a way that they're a mis-match of memories of the various dreamers/dead people. For example, in one there was a mixture between Jade's island, Kanaya's home, a ruin Aradia was exploring, and some other elements.
• In The Inexplicable Adventures of Bob!, Jean briefly visits the hypderdimensional interior of an alien ship, explicitly described as having different physical laws, and Voluptua is skeptical that Jean will even survive the experience. She does, thankfully.^note "Egad" is her usual catchphrase. Hence, upon seeing something so utterly mind screwy here, her response is "'Egad' is not adequate..."
• Kill Six Billion Demons is set in Throne, a flying city in the center of the multiverse that's inhabited by bizarre, nightmarish angels and demons. It floats above and through the Void, an endless plain of ash between universes covered in disintegrating reflections of buildings and the fading souls of the dead.
• The forest in Lucid Spring transforms into this whenever Viktor and Pacem's hallucinations are seen. The world takes on a red tint, Viktor and Pacem have wounds they don't really have, and trees bleed.
• In Metroid: Third Derivative, Planet Nemesis as named by Samus. She identified it at the source of all Phazon with the core of the planet being pure Phazon while the atmosphere and various landmasses that float above it having heavy concentrations of Phazon. A ring of Phazon meteors circle the planet destined to be thrown into space and affect other planets. Lifeforms not resistant to Phazon will die quickly on Nemesis.
• Often Played for Laughs in Nedroid, including the Magma Zone and in this strip.
  Reginald: Autumn is especially beautiful here in the Nightmare Zone.
  Beartato: My heart is screaming with joy.
• Ravenfell in Overlord of Ravenfell is a sentient fortress made of black crystal, created through mysterious means. Beneath it is a magically shifting maze full of traps and monsters.
• Ruby Quest: Cold Storage. Much of the whole facility, really. Especially the brig, with that growing dark pit and half of its gravity reversed.
• Sluggy Freelance has plenty. The alternative dimensions vary from almost identical to the "normal" one to as bizarre as you like. One example: The Never is a hellish world where spirits become solid and living creatures become even more so than usual. Other Eldritch Locations can be found without even travelling between dimensions. Each dimension is surrounded by Timeless Space, where time is only carried by objects and creatures and will eventually run out for each of them, freezing it in place. The two Tomes of Eldritch Lore Book of E-Ville and Wayang Kulit each contain or give access into a different kind of symbolic nightmarish world that builds itself around the thoughts of an entering character.
• The Palm Tree Ghost's realm is turning out to be more and more this way in Our Little Adventure.
• Tales of the Questor has the Unseleighe castle of Princeling Dolan in Tir Na Nogh. Simply navigating the halls can make you arf your cookies.
• Unsounded: Juste, the headquarters of the Black Tongue Ancient Conspiracy, is an Invoked one — it's built in an Anti-Magic shell, isolated from the Background Magic Field that regulates the setting's reality, so the local mages can tinker with the basic parameters of reality at their whim.
• Zebra Girl: Sandra's house. It began to change when Sandra transformed into a demon, with shadows becoming darker and bigger, and decided to have a growth spurt on its own while Sandra was away.
