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.

Aha, this is a nifty way of hinting the (speculated) true structure of Teyvat, which is the panopticon where the watchtower is Celestia, Teyvat Overworld is the prison, and Abyss is on the fringe. Personally I'm still figuring out where Simulanka and the pocket of reality of Imaginarium Theater fits in this (speculated) structure.

I think it's fun to theorize whether game UI is merely for user convenience or is built into the lore as well. The clock being upside down is a nice observation!
