The quiet rooms are a group of sub-locations in Submachine Universe.

Architecture

This location is based on four places seen in the main series games. The sub-locations can be accessed via layer doors, which are copies of the door to the second floor in Submachine 2: The Lighthouse. Three of the locations connect to the hub location, which is a defense system corridor from Submachine 6: The Edge.

Each location contains at least one security camera that has been blindfolded with a torn rag. Various scribbles of chalk adorn the walls of the locations, bearing short writings of an unidentified person.

Because each location is revisited it can be assumed that the player is visiting each location in a different time or layer than before, or perhaps both.

Armory section

This part resembles the armory from Submachine 8 and is the location with the karma portal. The portal has shattered one of the brown pipes near the ceiling, and a purple liquid like that of the broken pipe in the basement seeps out. The device previously activated in layers 2, 4, and 6 in Submachine 8 has rusted, and the top part has been bent out of shape.

The left portion of the armory is not accessible, but the top right room that was previously blocked off in Submachine 8 is now open. It contains a "Big Bertha" cannon like the one in the opposite side of this area. From here the player can access a defense system corridor via a layer door.

Defense system corridor

This location bears the typical architecture of a corridor from Submachine 6. Out of a line of seven rooms, the middle three contain layer doors to the rest of the locations. Flanking these three rooms are two rooms with chalk scribbles on the wall. The rightmost room has an un-blindfolded security camera.

The bent portal in this location.

The leftmost room contains a karma portal stand. A karma portal was once active here; however it seems that someone or something managed to manipulate the energy and "drag" it outside the stand's boundaries. The energy was then used to "open" a corner in the room by manipulating the matter in the back wall. A room behind this one was then accessed and converted into a den of sorts, containing one of the theories and a piece of chalk, among other things. The karma portal has remained distorted and frozen in space.

Second floor of the lighthouse

The second floor of the lighthouse is accessed from the defense corridor via the same door as found in Submachine 2, but now the door has layer-changing properties.

The second floor is mostly unchanged from Submachine 2. One security camera is present in each wing of the location, as well as a karma antenna. A drawing by WorldisQuiet5256 can be found next to the typewriter. The knob on the radio has been removed, the lightbulb has been taken from its case, and more scribbles can be found here.

Attic section

The attic section of this location is mostly the same as its Sub4 counterpart. All the Sub4 items have been removed, and the knob on the radio has been taken off. The ladder to the rooftop is missing, and a chalk scribble addresses this. The chalk scribbles show that the unnamed explorer had thoughts of "drawing" the ladder with chalk.

This can actually be done if the player first takes the piece of chalk to kim and uses the karma infusion machine there to infuse the chalk with karma. Then the chalk can be used to draw a solid ladder leading to the rooftop. The rooftop is made of green tiles and a karma portal to the observatory has destroyed the chimney.

Another theory can be found in this location. One security camera can be found in this area.

Trivia

• The coordinate letters "wiq" stand for WorldisQuiet5256, the author of the two theories found in this location.
• The former occupant of this area exhibits behavior similar to that of the Ratman from Portal. Similarities include the makeshift living quarters hidden behind the scenes, the tampering of security cameras, and the mad rambling messages scribbled on the walls.
• The karma portal and its stand, the layer door, and the blue energy lines of the security camera's power source are all reflected in the walls of the defense corridor, while the actual cameras and the distorted wall corner in the leftmost room are not. This has led to speculation about the special properties of the defense walls relating to karmic energy. However this may just be a graphical error as the chalk is also reflected in the walls.
• The theories in the location, as well as the books located in the den and WorldIsQuiet5256's username, are all references to the A Series of Unfortunate Events book series by Lemony Snicket. The recurring phrase "The World is Quiet Here" is one of the main mottos of the series.
• One of the theories in the area contains the phrase "Light Up the Darkness", a reference to a quote by Bob Marley.
• The equation seen on the 'Submachine Wisdom Gem 3rd Dimension' is know as the Alexander Polynomial equation. Which was once debated in the old Pastel Forum as to whether or not this was mention in Sub. 8 in the Toys and Knots Note.
