The virtual reality effect of the game is that when players board a plane, they see a golden light, as if they've entered another dimension. Furthermore, the plane is surrounded by 3D hourglasses and pocket watches with their hands spinning in reverse, suggesting that all players are traveling back in time to the early 20th century.
After two minutes on the plane, all the players lined up to exit the plane. They arrived in the city at night. This city was Snowglow City, the city Ellen and Flint had previously played in a mobile game. Ellen deliberately chose Snowglow City as the setting for the virtual reality game because of the many fond memories she and Flint had shared in this snowy city.
Both in the game world and in real life, the city is constantly snowing. Although the snowfall is artificial, the players perceive it as real. Ellen opens her palm, allowing snowflakes to fall onto it.
