Indigo Park is the primary setting of the indie horror game of the same name. It was an American[1] amusement park founded by the late Isaac Indigo, presumably in the 1950s.[2] The park and its mascots had reached renowned status over the years, until an unknown incident occurred, leading to the park's closure and abandonment.
Overview
Indigo Park is the main setting of the following released chapters, set in an unspecified location in the United States[1]. Its intent was to provide high-quality rides and thrills, and entertainment to all who entered its gates, becoming one of the most famous and well-known amusement parks of its time.
In the years following its grand opening, many of their mascots became popular. Out of all the mascots created by Indigo Park, Rambley the Raccoon was the most popular and memorable mascot, with an interactive A.I. used to oversee the park later being created in his likeness.
History
Indigo Park was founded by Isaac Indigo, presumably sometime in the 1950s after the brand's beginning in the animation industry.[2] The park featured costumed actors dressed as their mascot characters for guests to interact with.[3]
At some point, the Indigo company began to experiment in cutting-edge fields of technology to improve its park, including artificial intelligence and bio-engineering. This led them to create an AI form of Rambley the Raccoon to aid guests and living animal representations of their other established characters[4] (such as Mollie Macaw, Finley the Sea Serpent, Lloyd The Lion and presumably Rambley as well) to replace its costumed actors.[3] While children were excited to play with the living mascots, parents seemed wary and regarded them as dangerous.[5] Behind the scenes, the living mascots were horribly mistreated by park staff, who regarded them with disdain and locked them in cages.[4][6] While the park was active, the living mascots were made to wear the costumes of their animated counterparts.[7] Recognizing the danger the living mascots posed to guests, Critter Cuffs were outfitted with measures to protect their wearers in the event of attacks, such as high-frequency deterrent alarms and the ability to resuscitate the wearer.
On November 20th, 2013, the cartoon series Mollie, Ahoy! premiered on the Indigo Channel,[8] for which a tie-in attraction featuring its characters was created in Oceanic Odyssey.[9]
On October 9th, 2015, an incident occurred at the park that led to it being evacuated of all guests and staff and closed down. This incident was later reported on in the news on October 22nd of the same year, but details of the incident were not made public, leaving it a mystery.[10] The park would remain abandoned for the next eight years.[11]
On October 7th, 2023,[12][13] urban explorer and former childhood park guest Ed visited the park to investigate what caused it to close down.[14]

Subtracting the length of time Rambley states has elapsed since the last guest visited from this date (2,920 days, 4 hours, 23 minutes, and 38 seconds) gives the date of the park closure: October 9, 2015.
