"Your Sanctuary" is several zones in the 1995 video game EarthBound. These zones are what link the game's protagonist, Ness, between himself and his childhood memories. When Ness enters any "Your Sanctuary" zone, he feels a deeper connection to his younger self, allowing him to record a melody he hears in his memories to the Sound stone given to him at the beginning of his adventure by the alien extra-terrestrial Buzz Buzz. To truly understand himself and enter his mind, Ness must record all eight of these melodies to the Sound stone to gain access to "Your World," Magicant.
