A featureless white room. So featureless, in fact, that you can't even tell where the walls, floor, and ceiling end—they all blend seamlessly together under the uniform light, so the chamber looks more like a white void than a room. Sometimes, the only indication that it's ''not'' a void is the fact that the characters have something solid to stand on.

** And one toilet, and a pellet dispenser. And somewhere, presumably very far off, is an elevator that gets you out.
*** That toilet is their only water supply (so they wash up in it too), and the only non-stairs element besides the machine. It constantly flushes, but still.

* Played straight in ''Dr. Franklin's Island'' by Ann Halam. Semi, the main character, and Miranda, her friend, are able to communicate through radio when they are animals, but in a white-void-like space where they both appear in their human forms, where Miranda has a large black clamp on her leg, the same as the one she is wearing to stop her flying away as a bird.
