City, I have some questions I would like answered. Or perhaps the rulers of this playground would like a go?What are the conditions one enters and leaves under

There aren't really answers to most of your questions, just many theories.
The city brings us here and also sends as away. Outside of striking a deal with a deity to find a way back, which I can't recommend due to my own poor personal experience with it, there's really no way to control it. Time can flow faster, the same, or slower here than back on your homeworld. My research has shown that most people, no matter how long they've been in the city, tend to return to their world the same moment that they left. This isn't always the case, however.
It's been pretty much accepted that this place is some nexus situated in-between the worlds. The most popular theory is that we've been brought here to help stop the 'end of all the worlds' which is what that clock is always counting down to. Supposedly our emotions help fuel the city/reset the clock. Second most popular theory seems to be that we're just here for the deities/whoever's-in-charge/etc amusement.
Ah, I know quite a few people play the piano over at the Opera House?
Theories would be welcome as well. I don't particularly like being in such a strange, isolated place with no information.
Hmmm... nexus between the worlds... It sends people away? Have people come back with memories of this place?
A countdown to the end of the worlds... Is that what that ticking is? Interesting.. Is there any guess as to how much time is left? What sort of emotions fuel it?

I completely understand, but outside of the guides, people don't really seem interested in compiling information on this place. Perhaps because everything here seems so fickle? You've seen the various guides, right?
Yes, people come and go here all the time. Half the time when they return they have no memories of the place, are from a different time than before, or even seem like an entirely different version of themselves altogether. Sometimes when someone seems to have forgotten, bits and pieces of their memories will return to them over time.
And yes, the mechanism for the clock is underground beneath the carousel, but a forcefield prevents anyone from interacting with it directly. From the air the entire city looks like the face of a clock, with the twelve apartment buildings standing in for numbers.
One theory is that any strong emotion fuels the clock, another is that only negative emotions do it. I tend to believe the former. It's also theorized that the clock needs to be reset every year to stop the apocalypse. It's been

Yes, or from after their death as well, a point which seems rather popular, actually.
I suppose the forcefield may be for the best, the clock supposedly being connected to the end of the worlds and all and the people's tendency for dithering around with something like that here. I've heard that someone managed to mess around with the clock and carousel at some point, it went out of control, and someone higher up in charge had to come and fix it. But that was long before my time.
Unfortunately, I don't know of any organized investigations into the city at this point. My own research into finding ways out has pretty much hit a wall. The Doctors had been leading expeditions underground to take a gander at the clock mechanism somewhat recently though

Hmmm. A different time. So this place is capable of pulling people from any point in times of their life?
A forcefield? How peculiar.
This place... mmmm. Are there still investigations being held? I wouldn't mind lending a hand to the cause.
....Sacrifices? What kind of sacrifices?
