“ | 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[1], a mysterious colorless world resembling Inkopolis Square, inhabited by various sea creatures[2] and governed by its own set of rules[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.
