The Hideout serves as an immersive replacement for traditional 2D menus, with players loading into this space upon launching the game. The environment is a grand, multi-level manor room with an opulent, gothic atmosphere, featuring a large fireplace, an extensive library, and towering windows that offer a view of [[The Cursed Apple]] at dusk. This polished main hall stands in contrast to the adjoining Atrium, which has a more raw, industrial design. | The Hideout serves as an immersive replacement for traditional 2D menus, with players loading into this space upon launching the game.
