Overview
The World Map of Hethereau is a seamless open world divided into six named regions and roughly 2,966 marker points covering bosses, gathering nodes, chests, fast-travel anchors, and points of interest. The world is the primary play space for Neverness to Everness, supporting on-foot, vehicle, transit, and Esper-powered traversal between every region without loading screens.
Each of the six regions has its own atmospheric identity, anomaly density, and landmark POIs. Together they form the city of Hethereau and the surrounding coastal and outer-zone districts. The map opens fully at launch, with progress unlocked through Wertheimer Towers that reveal terrain and ReroRero Phone Booths that anchor the 114 fast-travel points distributed across the world.
Region List
The six named regions are listed below in order of marker density. Marker counts reflect the launch-window snapshot of the in-game database and shift with content rotations.
Region | Approx. Markers | Identity | Notable Landmarks |
|---|---|---|---|
828 | Modern downtown, financial heart of the city | Pink Paws Bank, Oia Avenue, Skyview Halls, Midas Tower | |
743 | Heritage commercial district hosting the Eibon Antique Shop | Eibon Antique Shop, antique alleys, courtyard markets | |
618 | Surreal carnival district, dreamlike art direction | Origami Market, Clement Academy, Raindrop Court, Wertheimer Tower | |
606 | Historic old town near the twin sea bridges, top of Hethereau's livability list | Green Wall Slope, Tamamochi Street, Hankaku Street | |
169 | Coastal escape, slower-paced district away from the city core | Beachfront promenade, lighthouse, ferry terminal | |
2 | Restricted outer-zone region with minimal coverage | Sparse marker density, niche progression access |
Map Marker Categories
Markers are organized into thirteen filterable categories on the in-game and community interactive maps. The category list below reflects the launch-window in-game database.

Player-Facing Map Layers
The in-game map UI groups the marker database into seven player-facing layers that map to the most common gameplay loops. These layers are filterable from the World Map menu and overlap with the data-side categories above.
Layer | What It Shows |
|---|---|
Five district-revealing vista towers; activating all five awards the Free Pass trophy. | |
114-node fast-travel network; the most numerous fast-travel anchor type. | |
Anomaly Zones | Open-world anomaly encounters that drop Esper Ability upgrade materials. |
214 lore collectibles tied to Sunyas. First reward at 12 stones. | |
Hidden gift packages distributed across Hethereau as a separate collectible system. | |
Side Quests | Open-world quest givers and event chains outside the main story. |
Daily and weekly anomaly investigations with story flavor and reward tracks. |
Fast Travel Network
The fast-travel network covers 114 named points across the six regions. Two anchor types feed the system: ReroRero Phone Booths (the most common urban fast-travel anchor) and Wertheimer Towers (vista points that also unfog the surrounding district map and restore HP). Players unlock each anchor by visiting the location once, after which it is available from the world map menu.
In addition to the dedicated fast-travel network, the city's Public Transit system supports rapid movement via buses and rail lines for narrative-flavored traversal between districts. Vehicles and Glider traversal cover gaps between fast-travel points without burning through anchor unlocks.
Open World Density
Marker density gives a rough sense of how much there is to explore in each region. New Herland District (828) and Miguel District (743) anchor the city's commercial and downtown experiences with several hundred markers each. Illusion Town (618) and Bridge Crossings (606) cover the dreamlike carnival district and the historic old town. Unheard Shores (169) is the smaller coastal getaway. Area M10 (2) is an outer-zone tag with minimal current coverage, reserved for restricted progression content.
Interactive Map Tools
Community-maintained interactive maps complement the in-game map. They support filter overlays, search by NPC name, and progress-checkbox tracking for completionist runs. The Interactive Map Guide walks through how to use these tools alongside the in-game world map.
