Oh No! Your buddy has fallen into a coma, and he only has 24 hours to live before his bootleg life support gives out! The only way to save him is to dive into his mind in an attempt to find his consciousness and wake him up!

Enchanted Blue: 

 Upon entering your friend's mind (his name's Eric, by the way), the first area you find is the part that represents creativity and childlike wonder, which takes the form of the city where you both grew up. His obsession with the ocean and marine life is immediately visible, as not only is the city partially flooded, but fish drift through the air around you as though it were water. The flooded city's water level steadily rises over time (likely a physical manifestation of your deadline), the effect of which is compounded by the city's constantly shifting layout.

 

BIG FISH: 

(TW: light profanity)

 This area represents Eric's ego, in both the psychological and colloquial meaning of the term. This is a much more abstract zone than the flooded city, but it contains more direct representations of Eric's sense of self, such as oversized statues of him. This area contains the manifestation of Eric's ego, which is eager to gloat about its many successes in the field of marine biology, but you're looking for the manifestation of Eric's consciousness (a totally different thing), so this is just another distraction. This manifestation doesn't even seem capable of processing the possibility of its own death.

      Lyrics:

(OK, SOMEONE BRING THE BEAT BACK...)

SMALL POND, I'M A BIG FISH

SEE ALL THIS WATER, I GOT DRIP

INVINCIBLE, YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS

WHEN IT GOES DOWN, I DON'T JUMP SHIP

(UH) CALL ME A SHARK 'CAUSE THIS FLOW NEVER STOPS

BIG FISH, I GOT ORCAS FOR OPPS

RISE LIKE A BUBBLE BUT I NEVER POP

DRIP OR DROWN, WE GON' FLOAT TO THE TOP

BE IT LAND, SEA, SKY, YEAH YOU KNOW I'M LOOKING FLY

I'M JUST CHILLING 'CAUSE YOU KNOW I'M THAT GUY

TOP OF THE WORLD, I DON'T EVEN GOTTA TRY

AND I KNOW I'M SO COOL THAT I'M NEVER GONNA-

NAH FUCK THAT, I'M NOT DONE YET

GOT TOO MUCH STILL UNSAID

THIS MY WORLD, YALL JUST LIVING IN IT

NOTHING SCARED ME IN A DAMN HOT MINUTE

I'M WINNING.

ICE COLD, I'M CHILLING.

I'M SWIMMING IN ALL THAT MONEY, POWER, SUCCESS, FUN

I CAN'T QUIT WHEN I'VE JUST BEGUN

OK

I Remember You / Going Home: 

 "Everything looks so small from down here." "Doesn't it?" "..." "Maybe if we make it back to the surface, all our problems will be as small and insignificant as they look from here, and we can go after them together, one by one." "You still owe me 17 dollars." "Damn."
