Area5

Area5 is the fifth and last sub-system in Rez. It is compromised mainly of the color white and is themed after the evolution of planet Earth. It is unlocked by completing the prior sub-systems.

It reuses some viruses from previous sub-systems. It is the only sub-system to feature dialogue pop-ups from Eden. This sub-system does not feature any Password_Protectors. Instead, Network Openings are held by Gates of Truth. Area5 does not feature a true firewall at the end of the stage; rather, there is a boss rush, followed by a faux firewall that guards Eden.

Main stage
Swayzak navigates through a white space, with black vector squares.

Boss rush
Swayzak enters a red room. Eden displays a message: "Who are you?"

Swayzak enters a blue room. Eden sends another message: "Don't come any closer!"

Swayzak enters a purple room. Eden says: "Why?"

Swayzak enters a yellow room. Eden says: "Aren't you afraid?"

After Swayzak defeats all the bosses, Eden tells him, "Save me..." as he goes to restart her. As Swayzak destroys each faux firewall guarding Eden, Eden begins to see life as it truly is. Swayzak destroys the last firewall, revealing the true being at Eden's core, and she invites him to become cleansed and converted into a good program, represented by Swayzak and Eden merging and a butterfly flying out of Eden's hands.

Dialogue
The following is dialogue said by Eden to Swayzak as he travels through the sub-system.

Ages ago, life was born in the primitive sea. Young life forms constantly evolved in order to survive. Some prospered, some did not, all sorts of life ebbed and flowed like the tide. In the quiet rhythm of the mother sea, life grew, always seeking to survive and flourish. Soon life began the advance towards the land, opening new habitats. A great prosperity came, as life conquered even the highest mountains. Mass extinctions came wave after wave, but empty niches always quickly refilled, to once again prosper, grow and reproduce. Someday the next great emigration will occur, as we leave this existence looking for another. The journey will begin anew. I hold within me, all the memories that have passed. Who am I...
