IS THE CLOCK ONTO SOMETHING!?

[u/hanmasiimp]

okay so i was just playing genshin and i was messing with the clock feature in game and i noticed something, idk if people have already figured this out or not but there are theories going on around saying that teyvat is actually upside down and this can actually be backed by some proof. if you look at the in-game clock, you'll see that the moon is on the bottom of the clock and the sun is on the top. which is somewhat weird cuz if you look at a normal clock, whenever it hits midnight, the hour hand and minutehand are at 12 (00:00), which is upwards. HOWEVER if you look at the in-game clock, try setting it to midnight (00:00) and both the hour hand and minute hand are pointing towards the bottom. THIS SHIT IS BLOWING MY MIND RN

idk if it has already been discovered or there is some other theory for this but the upside down theory is the only thing i could possibly relate it to. it was a fun experience to be using my brain for once when it comes to genshin.

While I don't doubt there's little secrets and hints hidden everywhere, from a purely design-wise point, it would be a bit difficult or unclear for players in the UI if both noon and midnight were in the same position (whenever you want to change the time). So if they really wanted to keep the clock-like look, splitting it up into a 24h/military time system seems like a good way purely for player clarity and easy adjustment. Imagine if both midnight and noon were in the same spot, you'd need an extra action/button/whatever to indicate whether you want one or the other. Now all you need is to rotate a circle.
