Profile[]
The dungeon used to be the city of Shinjuku, but it was left in a desolate and ruined state by the apocalyptic war that destroyed civilization in the World Before. The main body of the dungeon is an abandoned modern-day building covered by vegetation, and similarly deserted modern-day buildings can be seen by the skyline. There are various objects such as modern-day calendars, CDs and a firearm dubbed a "mysterious iron slab" scattered around the dungeon, each of which can be interacted to trigger a conversation. It connects to an underground temple where the mustari priestess is supposed to sacrifice herself to the Dragon God Eht to appease it. In actuality, the mustari were unknowingly being taken advantage of by Homo Margo, who was controlling the dragon to demand sacrifices from them.

Trivia[]
- The Japanese name of the dungeon is a homophone on "Shinjuku" where the pronunciation is the same, but the kanji is written differently.
- The dungeon's post-apocalyptic theme, entire layout, area names and unique items are a direct reference and homage to Etrian Odysseys 5th stratum, Lost Shinjuku. The dungeon even uses the same music, albeit arranged to fit Metaphor's soundtrack, and a lot of the items have the same name as the ones found in Etrian Odyssey.
