worm room discussion thread

[Reon]

have you guys seen that crazy hidden room in wind town that feels off from everything else in the game? like, it doesn't feel like the devs actually put it in there. i read something on a forum that its actually a really complex rabbit hole that's just hundreds and hundreds of surreal worlds, and scenes that become less and less recognizable from the original game. i saw someone even say that they found a huge city that used realistic texture, along with a glitched npc that looked like it was animated in mocap. also, whats up with the D.E.R.M screen once you enter the secret room?

We talked about this for days on the discord when the worm room was first datamined, it's believed to be a reference to Rob Zombie's Dragula, Alex might have heard this song in college and internalized that he has to conquer the worm

I didn't have the opportunity to have access to that specific room but a friend of mine told me that he managed to trigger a strange glitch that might be related to that.
Do you recall where you can get the treasure for the pirate? If you bring a certain broken item in that spot, the texture of the wall will glitch into a crack.
It wasn't possible to go through it but he told me that there were some weird models beyond that.
The most recognizable one was something similar to the Golden Alpaca but It didn't look like the one we got that screams "Lemonade".
That version was more similar to the one from the prototype of the game that was made at the beginning of the last decade.
Maybe that is one of the hundreds of surreal worlds in that mysterious room after all.

Maybe it's a reference to Doctor Worm by They Might Be Giants
