Arid Flats



Arid Flats is the second world in The End is Nigh. It is presumably a desert, populated by Kuko Jrs and Toasts, with dead trees, some light wind and heat waves. Some of the lower secret areas are flooded. The future equivalent of this world is Gloom, the world before is The End and the world after is Overflow. The theme for Arid Flats is a remix of Antonin Dvorak's New World Symphony.
