The point on the very extreme of the X or Z axis where world generation just absolutely goes to a mess and things stop generating correctly and it's possible for you to fall through solid blocks.

The wind blows on you, and you start walking slower and slower until you reach the invisible wall at the leftmost area of the Howling Cliffs.

It's not really Extra, but I love how in Dragon Age Inquisition, leaving the map gives you instant exhaustion. You can still move onwards, but it's agonizingly slow. The game essentially bores you into following the rules. Brilliant!

the best way a game has ever blocked you from going out of bounds is probably pong; instead of preventing you from accessing that, there just isn't an out of bounds part of the game

Obduction has a really neat mechanic for the "end" of the map. You're trapped in a dome, and when you reach the outer edge, you're warped to the exact opposite side - and this is the only way you can access certain areas of the map. They are counting on you trying to leave the play area to advance the game.

[@angelitabecerra]

This sounds intriguing 🤔

[@stephlrideout]

@@angelitabecerra I found the game a little frustrating because it doesn't have great a objective list (barely has one at all, actually), but the puzzles are good. If you're ok with not really knowing what you should be doing and having to figure it out, it's a really cool game.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

I remember in Spore, during the creature stage, if you tried to stray too far outside the map, either by swimming or gliding, a massive sea creature would just swallow you whole. Then there's Big Rigs, there, if you try to leave the map, you just drive forever in eternal limbo of the outside the map. Though inside the map was also kind of a limbo too. You're Winner! I still remember the AVGN's reaction to that! Hilarious.
