The Dark World is a dark, purple area with seemingly alive tentacles poking out of the ground. The field of view in the Dark World is very small, which can be attributed to the darkness of the area. The only light sources are from the Light Bulbs, which hang above plot-important items such as the Stump and Baron's bowl, and from a small circular area around Lore himself.

The Artifact seems to have some kind of control over The Dark World, as it uses these items to accuse and torment Lore throughout the journey. The first time the player enters this world is via an altered version of Lore's Room, after picking up The Artifact at Trial Between Worlds. Upon exiting Lore’s Room, the sound of a light bulb breaking can be heard and Lore ends up in the Dark World.
