The Town

There is many various welcome sign placed in all entrance to the town to welcome all visiter upon arrival. It is cursed place that most residents forced to leave because brutal executions and mysterious plague. Surrounded by hills and woods, lakes and nature, you must pass through trails and roads to reach it. Throughout series, it is feel as though expanding and growing bigger, even though many left. It is built along shore of Toluca Lake. Due to this lake, it is likely fog and mist is amplified. We cannot know if all fog is created because lake, but a name has been given to this town as 'fogworld' because of hard ability to see. If you think about it in psychological way, we can believe this 'fog' is create by dream state in subconscious mind.
