White Space is a 2.1 solo Easy Demon created and published by Xender Game and verified by Viprin. The level was released on January 11, 2022. The level features high-detailed art and effects primarily using white and blue colors. It has many references to the game Omori. The level's story follows a user who encounters an anomaly in "White Space" which takes them to a dimension created from their memories, revealing events that happened in their past. It is part of an ARG being organized by Xender Game.
History[]
On January 16, 2021, Xender Game showcased a layout preview of White Space for the 20,000 subscribers special.[1] Six days later, Xender released the first preview of the level, showing that the first part was nearly finished.[2] On January 31, 2021, Xender released the second preview, which showed the entire pre-drop and the beginning of the drop.[3] A third preview was shown on February 14, 2021, showing some progress on the level's drop. On March 21, 2021, Xender released what he called the final preview of White Space.[4]
On April 6, 2021, Xender announced the planned release date of White Space, which was April 30, 2021. A trailer was released on Xender Game's Twitter account on April 19, 2021.[5] However, on the planned release date of the level, Xender announced that he would delay it because of college work and making sure it did not feel rushed.[6] He released another trailer on May 17, 2021, with a hopeful release date of that month.[7]
A final trailer was released on June 28, 2021.[8] He was hopeful that the level would release that week.
On July 27, 2021, Xender announced the state of the level on Twitter.[9] He had started to lose motivation to finish the level due to experiences in the community and his personal life. He said that White Space was the hardest he had struggled with making a Geometry Dash level and that he does not consider it his masterpiece. On August 6, Xender released three previews of parts on Twitter.
On August 27, 2021, Viprin premiered the level on his YouTube channel. However, Xender decided to delay the level's release for bug-fixing as well as recreating some messy art, remastering, changing, and optimizing the level.[10]
On December 6, 2021, he revealed that he decided to remove some sensitive art from the level due to some unfortunate events that had recently happened in the community. Due to this, the level became buggy and near-unplayable. He planned to release Viprin's original verified version on the server, although he did not wish that level to be rated.[11]
Due to how difficult the level became to work on, Xender Game lost motivation to finish. On January 11, 2022, he decided to revert to a previous version as the level's development was taking too long. He released the level in this state, stating he did not want to work on it anymore. He created a Low Detail Mode two days later, along with adding the QR code leading to the @WhiteSp54899516 Twitter account above the level.[12]
Story[]
The full lore of White Space is unknown due to the existence of an unsolved augmented-reality game surrounding the level. The following section is currently in development. Currently, this Twitter account is confirmed to be part of the ARG.
January 2, 2017, Rosie her sister was excited about being in a Roadtrip because she is excited about being with Matt for their Ultimate Roadtrip which is supposed to be their happiest day of their life so she picked up her phone to remind Matt about the Roadtrip tommorow but Matt was there already in her place to surprise Rosie with Dad and Mom because all of them are gonna come too, all of them together got excited for it but they ended up delaying their trip to February 2 2017 so they can prepare things up.
February 3rd, That day supposed to be Matt's Happiest Day of his Life Because they are complete together, His mom, his dad, and his sister, But he did not realized that this is gonna be the moment that this would be the last time he would see his Family.
4:00 am that time, They are about to be on Home but What Matt did not realize is that They are about to get Hit by the Bus after passing by into the train station. He cannot focus and he is too tired to drive the car so they did ended up getting into a Car Accident, The Car Glasses Shattered into Pieces.
His Dad was Crushed to Death, His Mom was Penetrated, Her Sister Rosie suffered from Third Degree Burn, One person that only survived in the Accident was Matt the Brother.
All of them got sent into Hospital, Unfortunately, It was declared that Rosie was Dead on Arrival due to Third Degree Burn, His Dad due to being Crushed to death and Her Mom due to getting Penetrated while Matt is in a State of Coma, Matt who currently was in Coma at that time, was the only Survivor in the Deadly car accident. When Matt finally woke up from Coma, He was confused as he did not remembered almost anything, He picked up his Phone to talk to Rosie right away "Are you still there?" "Can you hear me" The Doctors declared to Matt that Rosie and his Family Relatives Passed away during his state of coma, He is denying what happened, hoping its just a Nightmare but When he realized it was the reality, He was losing control to himself, He was absolutely Destroyed, he knows its his Fault, He just wished that he was that careful that night.
He saw Rosie's Corpse, His mom and his dad and He hugged all of them tightly, Apologizing to them what happened repeatedly, That's when he finally developed his Guilt, creating a Nightmare that follows him everyday on his life, His Guilt eating him up, Representing the day he saw their Corpse.
Whenever someone mention the name of one of their relatives, especially rosie, he just doesn't want hear their name because of how much of a nightmare it flashes back on his mind, He Tried to Hide the truth to anyone else. He is only alone. Matt doesn't know how to Move on at this point, He can't forget what happened that night, it was too traumatizing, He attempted to kill himself by overdosing himself with Painkillers. He doesn't want to feel anything anymore.
One day, He heard a Groundbreaking Feature that was shown in Public, The Virtual Reality Tech, A Groundbreaking tech that would save the world, Doctors recommended this to Matt because they do think that this would save Matt from his Depression and Guilt and finally would able to move on from everything but thats when they realized that this is gonna end up becoming Matt's Biggest Mistake.
One thing Matt did not realize is that VR would Change his Life from something that completely is outstanding, A world where everything is fine, A Place where everything is fine, A World named White Space. A Place where he stayed for a long time, ended up becoming his New Reality to the point that The Reality is always something he wished it was just a Nightmare that really is.
White Space is a Place where Matt stayed for the rest of his life wearing his VR Headset completely losing in touch of the Reality world, Its an easy way out for him, in the other side of White Space, There's Dark space which holds what ur darkest thoughts is, your fear, your darkest secrets, White Space is an Illusion formed to escape the reality of the real world.
In this world, He Stayed where life feels fine to him, In a world he wished was still the reality to him, In a world where he imagine that His family was Alive, He got attached on the Virtual Reality, To the point that He only just Relies on his Life inside the VR world but his doctors tells him not to, He needs to Wake up and finally facing the reality and move on but Matt never listened.
A lot of Years have Passed, He completely lost in touch with the reality, He stayed in White Space for as long as he can remember, Trying to Catch up the Train, exploring every path of his Virtual Life, but there's one place he is scared to face because of what it truly beholds, a place where every dark secret and dark memory stay somewhere too far called "Black Space" which consists of Three Paths Which has "Time-Space" and "Memory Capsule" bur one thing that truly stands out the most is "Dark Space" A Place Where Every Bad Memory, Trauma, And your Darkest Secrets holds in.
He finally realized what his Doctors was talking about "Never rely your life inside a VR World" The realization finally got him, To Face the Truth, To Face what Truly Happened, VR is a Drug to him.
He finally faced the truth and get away with the false hope he has been with for a lot of years. Trying to Remember what happened that day, Finally Realizing the Truth of what truly happened that night, He saw a Train going by, He remembered that they crushed near the Train Station, He Tried to Catch Up the Train fast as he could, seeing the Car about to Get Crushed by bus, He tried but he can't, He saw His Dad getting Crushed to Death, His Mom getting Penetrated, Her Sister Rosie getting burned in the Car, One person that only survived in the Accident and it was himself, He tried to Catch up the Train again to simulate what would happen if he can stop the train, but he can't do it, The train is too fast for him, to the point he finally gave up because even if he could catch up and stop them, He still saved nobody. After all, this is only the Virtual Reality where everything is just Virtual. He did not hesitate to try again, This is not the Reality he truly lives in.
When he let the Train go, He realized that The train represents the time, the time to move forward, even if it is too hard, even if u try to catch up the train, you are trying to stay in that same timeline you wish you we're in the past, you wish it didn't happen, you wish you saved the person because you cannot move on. Even if you caught the train, you saved nobody.
That's when Matt Finally decided to get out of the virtual reality he lives in and face the truth and the reality.
March 2 2037, its his Birthday, He is only just alone celebrating his Birthday, depressed, alone, about to drink the painkiller pills, but he saw one picture of his Family together, Celebrating his 13th Birthday on 2007, He can't believe how much time he wasted to finally get the life he deserved, He is already 38 years old, Trying to move on to everything, He picked up the phone he haven't checked for a lot of years now, every memories that contains his Family Relatives, He Read his old conversation with Rosie, Reading every conversation they had, Getting Teared up after remembering what Happened and Realizing that his Sister is Dead, Someone he wish he was celebrating with, Remembering their happy memories together with the Family. But he can't stay on that same path anymore, If he let the Train Go, He should let the old memories on and create a new memories, That's when he finally decided to move on and leave her one final message to her "I miss you, Ross, I am sorry, Goodbye" Finally saying his one last goodbye to Rosie and his Family.
He finally told truth to authorities what happened which on the other hand, he got into a jail for a long time for an Accident but it did not lose his spirit and it made him a better person, he finally was able to do the right thing and never commit the same mistake he did in the past, He is finally moving on and Accepting the Consequences and Let that Train move, He is finally ready to create New Memories and Fresh start for his Happy Life to build a Family he deserved.
In 2035, the company XenderTech announced the development of a project known as "White Space". The project's goal was to "create a technology that is able to implement the concept of neural extraction from substrates and create possible example of neural SIM," and "help us to achieve our goal of greatly improvement of future medical institutions,"
On July 23, 2036, XenderTech revealed that the project was entering the Test Beta phase. During this phase, the Jenova research team tested White Space for anomalies. A particular mind anomaly, known as "XIV", was discovered, which "directly interacts with user's [UNKNOWN] and their [UNKNOWN] to create a bonding." The team warned that if XIV was interrupted with memories other than that of the user, it would be lethal to the user of White Space. They were unsure of its origin.
At some point, another anomaly was discovered within White Space. Some users were taken to a pocket dimension created from the users' memories. The users were greeted by something like a "modern bullet train", which brought them to the Memory Tower, which shined a bright light in the middle of a peculiar city. The Jenova research team advised to not try to enter the tower or interact with XIV during this time.
The story of the level White Space follows a user, most likely named Matt judging by the text at the end. While going through White Space, he sees the bullet train and follows it. This event causes White Space to malfunction, and he is transported to the pocket dimension, representing his memories. He approaches Memory Tower, and upon entering, White Space reboots, causing his memories to unwind.
Theories
Judging by its name "XIV" (X-4) might be Laser Eye, a boss by Xender Game called "Boss 4". Xender hinted to a return of Laser Eye shortly after the completion of Ultra violence.
The text that appears in the beginning might be XIV trying to connect to the user.
Another piece information reports that "ELECTRO", which refers to "BOSS 3 Electro" by Xender Game, seems to have infect the program, causing White Space has been overridden.Gameplay[]
The level starts with a mini-cube part jumping onto various platforms. Then, the player changes to normal-size going at double-speed and must hit many orbs with the same general gameplay as the mini-cube. The player jumps onto a flat platform and transforms into a triple-speed ball. In the ball segment, the player must hit four platforms before the gravity portal, then hit a yellow orb and a pink orb. Switch gravity a few more times and then hit the pink orb. The gameplay continues in an enclosed fashion, ending with multiple orbs and holding them while in the blue gravity portals to finish this part. In the cube transition part, the player must jump, hit a yellow orb, jump again, hit three pink orbs before the ship part, and fly through the flying train to reach an auto section.
A few jumps with the cube lead the player to the drop. The player must jump and hit the pink orb before the ball segment. Next, they must hit the blue orb and hold a red orb while in a yellow gravity portal, then hit a dash orb and then hit a blue orb during the ball part. Afterward, the player must hit the yellow orb but avoid the two red orbs, then hit the two black orbs and a pink orb during the spider part. Next is a UFO part where the player must hit three times, hold near the yellow gravity portal before the ship part, and then fly towards before the ball transition. In the ball transition, the player must hit a blue orb and then click three times during the UFO part, the third click will be the red orb, but the player must time this click to avoid the four black orbs. Next is a cube part where the player must jump two times and hit the yellow orb. Finally, the player must avoid the obstacles during the wave part and enter the ball part with text that says "Last Memory".
Afterward, the player must jump, hit the pink orb, jump again, and hit a blue orb. Following this, the player must hit the red orb and hold a green dash orb. Then, the player must jump and hit the first notebook before flying toward the ship portal. Afterward, the player must hit the yellow orb and hold it before holding a dash orb. Next is a UFO part where the player must avoid some obstacles while clicking 12-13 times before doing a straight-fly part before an auto part.
There is a wave part at the final drop. The player must hit a black orb in the UFO part and then spam before the ball. Next, as the ball, the player must click three times and then hit the orbs of the following: (two blue orbs, two green orbs, a dash orb, and a red orb). Afterward, in the spider part, the player must hit the pink orb and then click five times. In the robot part, the player must hit the pink orb, jump before hitting the yellow orb and two green orbs, and then jump before hitting the red orb and the dash orb. The player must hit six orbs at the final cube part before the auto part.
After the car crash, the story of the end part says: "UP HERE, USER, DO NOT WORRY. THAT DAY, STAYS HERE, WAKE UP. Don't let your past stop where you are create more memories and keep this train moving."
