^{[Story 1]} ^{[Story 2]}

Agent 8 has been unexpectedly transported to the Order Sector, a mysterious world that is built out of its own unique rules.^{[Story 3]} Agent 8 wakes up to find what appears to be Inkopolis Square, suddenly drained of color and uninhabited.^{[Story 1]} They are challenged to ascend the Spire of Order, a tower that changes floor structure each time it's entered, which has mysteriously replaced Deca Tower, as "something wants to make the entire world orderly".^{[Story 2]} Pearl, having been transformed into^{[Story 3]} a drone called the Pearl Drone, accompanies Agent 8 and assists them in combat.

Acht, also known as Dedf1sh, has "wandered into" the Order Sector,^{[Story 3]} and appears to travel between Floors alongside Agent 8 inside an elevator within the Spire of Order.

After reaching the Spire's Control Room, Agent 8 encounters Marina, who has been mind-controlled through a Controller VM and wired into a large tentacle blob as Marina Agitando. Agent 8 destroys the tentacle blob, freeing Marina, before Agent 8 and Pearl are confronted by a being calling itself Order. They are booted out of the Spire after it declares its goal to establish a world of pure order. When they end up back in the Order Sector, Order fully reconfigures the Spire, and Marina reveals that the Sector is in fact part of a prototype virtual reality system she designed called the Project Memverse, which was originally intended to reverse the sanitizing process. After Order seized control of the Memverse, it began forcibly connecting people to the system by grayscaling them to begin building a world of perfect order where independent thought does not exist. By grayscaling its victims, it will eventually be able to impose its ideal world upon reality.

Agent 8 re-enters the Spire, albeit with Marina supporting them from the elevator while providing them with Marina's Hacks. While they ascend the Spire accompanied by Off the Hook and Acht, they encounter tons of hostile Jelletons, at least 30 Floors, and at least two bosses as they ascend back up to the Control Room, where they confront Order. Marina tries to explain to Order why its idea of a perfect world is dysfunctional, however Order malfunctions over the concept of its creator denying it, before it decides that Agent 8 must be destroyed and enters a grate in the floor, and reappears as the Magistrate of Order, Overlorder. Agent 8 battles the Overlorder in 3 phases while playing New World Order, but it survives, and activates a program that activates a mass grayscaling, knocking out Agent 8.

The player "brings back the beat" in a small rhythm minigame, and wakes up Agent 8. Marina and Acht, in an act of resistance to Overlorder, start playing Spectrum Obligato ~ Ebb & Flow (Out of Order). Pearl declares that the "show don't stop" and lets out an immensely powerful "Booyah!" that destroys the Control Room. Agent 8 throws themselves into a battle against the Overlorder but they find out that Overlorder emptied their Palette and shoved their Color chips inside some Portals. They destroy the Portals, grab the chips, and destroy Overlorder's barrier, before Pearl activates a Color Wail using the chips and overloads the Overlorder, causing it to malfunction and as a result of color overload and implode.

After the destruction of the Overlorder, a tiny octopus form of a heavily damaged and restricted Order named Smollusk appears and gets upset that Agent 8 "wuined^[sic] [it's] perfect world of order." Pearl and Marina jokingly declare that "there's not much to worry about here," and leave with Agent 8 and Acht on an elevator that appears in the middle of the Control Room, as the credits roll.

After the defeat of the Overlorder, Agent 8 returns back to the Memverse, where Off the Hook greets them and Marina explains that Agent 8's work is not done yet. She explains that the Palettes are the souls of the inkfish that were grayscaled and that Agent 8 must set them free. To set a Palette's soul free, Agent 8 need to re-ascend the Spire and reach the now destroyed Control Room for the Palette to be manually reconfigured, which Agent 8 has to do with all the Palettes to set every soul free. Smollusk is not on board with Marina's plan to free the souls, and actively tries to prevent Agent 8 from reaching the Control Room and reconfiguring the Palettes. Every time Agent 8 gets to the top of the Spire, Smollusk transforms into Overlorder to try and stop Agent 8 as the final boss of the run. Agent 8 scales the Spire and defeats Smollusk ten more times to free the souls, obtaining every rewards in the lockers including all Marina's Dev Diary entries, until they receive their own Palette. Meanwhile, they meet Cipher, a lucifer shrimp that runs a stall located in the Order Sector called Cipher's Siftings^{[Story 4]}.

Once they've obtained their own Palette, Agent 8 re-ascends the Spire and defeats Smollusk for the last time to reconfigure it. Agent 8's Palette has the special properties of being able to skip floors using Membux (with the exception of boss floors), while the number of active hacks decreases the maximum number of chips in their Palette. During the last ride up the Spire, Agent 8 also receives three additional entries for Marina's Dev Diary, which are letters from Acht to Marina.

Although Eight reconfigured all the Palettes, they can still scale to the Spire to "pway"^[sic] with Smollusk again with no limits.

“	This is the Memverse. It's a prototype VR... that is, a virtual reality that I made.	”
— Marina explaining the Memverse

The Memverse is a virtual world as a part of Project Memverse, created by Marina since the Chaos vs. Order splatfest ended, it features an uncolored version of Inkadia and it serves as the mission hub for Side Order.

It contains the Order Sector^{[Memverse 1]}, a mysterious colorless world resembling Inkopolis Square, inhabited by various sea creatures^{[Memverse 2]} and governed by its own set of rules^{[Memverse 3]}.

Description

Based on what we can see of it through the Order Sector, the Memverse resembles an off-white version of Inkadia, drained of color and covered in bleached coral. It is part of Project Memverse, having the purpose of restoring the memory and thoughts of Sanitized Octarians. It is the primary setting of Side Order in Splatoon 3 — specifically the Order Sector and the Spire of Order. In the 11th entry of Marina's Dev Diaries, she finally names the temporarily-titled Project Memverse "★Dramatic Days in Orderland★". In the same entry she realizes that cucumber phones, which she was planning to use as entrypoints into the virtual reality, have a security flaw that could be exploited to pull anyone inside against their will — which is exactly what Order ends up doing.

Gameplay

After completing the tutorial of Side Order, Marina, saved by Agent 8, Acht, and Pearl, starts discussing the issues of the Project Memverse.

She explains that it is her prototype virtual reality containg the Memverse, and the only thing that is "real" in it is their minds. Marina also reveals that the fuzzy cloud they encountered when rescuing her was Order, which took control of her and hijacked the entire project.

Its ultimate goal is to create a colorless and changeless world of order, and forcibly connect as many people to it as possible. To keep pulling people into it, Order uses a process called "Grayscaling" to neutralize the will of everyone trapped in the virtual world. Anyone who goes through Grayscaling will also slowly start to lose their free will in reality as well, losing the world they had been living in.

Credits

After clearing the 30th floor of the Spire of Order for the first time, Agent 8, Off the Hook, and Acht ascend in a glass elevator, where the credits roll. During the credits, the Memverse is viewable from the sky, and Inkopolis Tower can be seen on the right side of Eight.

The credits can be viewed again in the Foyer of the Spire of Order by inspecting a glass box to the right of the elevator containing a rainbow Killer Wail speaker, also used to replay the final phase of the final boss battle and recall the first time in Inkopolis Square (after the 7.1.0 version) using the same speaker.

Trivia

The Memverse's completely white appearance, including the Order Sector, is a deliberate reference to coral bleaching in the real world.

Etymology

Mem comes from memory, like in Mem cakes; verse comes from universe — or possibly metaverse or Miiverse, both of which also come from universe.
