Biopolis Mysteries?

Biopolis

Nah, Biopolis after dark isn't some haunted house. It's mostly just... quiet. Super quiet. Like, unnervingly quiet. All those empty labs and glass buildings just amplify the stillness. I’ve worked late a few times – security's pretty tight, but it's the atmosphere, you know? It feels like you're in one of those sterile sci-fi movies before the aliens show up. There are definitely some rumors, whispered amongst the postdocs, about strange noises from the older buildings. Nothing concrete, more like... a feeling. People sometimes say they saw shadows moving in the periphery, but honestly, it's probably just overtired researchers. Still... gives you pause. Grab a coffee near the MRT before you head out, you'll need it.

It really depends on the time of day and day of the week. Weekdays are generally much quieter, perfect for quiet reflection as you imagined. Weekends... yeah, it gets a bit busier, more families and groups. Still respectful, but definitely more of a hum of activity. Think less hushed whispers, more gentle chatter. The architecture itself is stunning, though, so even with a crowd, it retains a sense of grandeur. I'd suggest going early in the morning on a weekday for the most peaceful experience.
