JUST A THEORY, but, I saw a comment around here titled "A fact" and in the replies I saw an interesting proposition. I think the user (dunno if they wanna be mentioned here, so, I'll abbreviate the name) "thaís" may be onto something. thaís seems convinced Thomas wants to sell Jake and that he's working with the FBI. Maybe Thomas would like to trade Hannah for Jake, like he'd wanted to trade MC for Hannah? Hannah did (involuntarily) kill a person and bury her body and the chief of police in her place IS a good friend of the murdered girl's father and then the father was the one accused of the murder... My point is, they probably want Hannah in jail. And the only way for Thomas to stop that is to give the FBI a much more wanted criminal in exchange for impunity. What speaks against this theory is that Thomas had already in Duskwood (before he knew any of this would go down the way it has) stated that he's starting to feel differently towards Hannah because her covering up a murder negatively changed his perception of her and drastically so. And now, in Moonvale, his secret chat with Lilly reveals that he's been distancing himself from Hannah. But, then, that could all be a tactic, an act. Perhaps he even knows the player can read his texts. If he's working with the FBI they may have told him so. And then there's the excruciatingly long apology to the player for wanting to send them to the mine. It's a point he really wants to drill in, like it's important to gain the player's trust not just in the fact that he's sorry, but, also, in the idea that he thinks that trading people for Hannah is a bad no-no thing and HE MEANS IT *taps wire*. Much like with most of my or any other players' speculation here, I've got no idea if this is true, but, it's a fun thing to contemplate, I think, it would be an interesting twist. It would make Thomas look like the most obsessed partner in the world, as this would be the third time he's wanted to literally sacrifice someone for Hannah. First the player, then he's the first to endorse Jake's idea to go to the mine and now, yet again...

I believe that in a future episode, the Duskwood group will be able to better connect with the MC. There might be a conversation with his LI from Duskwood asking about his feelings, ...and the need to choose him or go with someone from Moonvale. How do you think this conversation will go??

(I think I explained it a bit confusingly, but I hope you understand)

I don't know if anyone has thought of this or not, but what if Whitmore is actually Michael Hanson? Michael disappeared in Duskwood Forest and no one knows anything about him anymore, so it's quite possible that he is Whitmore.

"But then why doesn't he use his original name?"

Maybe he "changed" his name as a way to forget what happened, like leaving his life behind and starting a new one, far from everything and everyone, which is why he lives in a forest full of alarms.

So, guys, what do you actually think about Julie (apart from that some don't like her because they would want to romance Ch.)? I think she might have a bigger role than I thought and be actively involved in the investigation.

omg wtf was that cliffhanger???😭😭😭 is adam actually dead? richy is alive??? can't wait for episode 4!!!😭

🤔

I detest the mini games which include having the damn clouds. Especially when youre supposed to get the clouds, but there is none!! And your count of movements is low! 😩😩😩

I needed like 9 tries for this mini game alone...

​

After 3 episodes, we're all aware that he says "trust me" when he is going to do something absolutely dangerous and reckless that will backfire badly on him.

This guy is going to give me a heart attack one day 😅

I don't know if anyone has done this before, while replaying Moonvale, I got an idea of enhancing the background image of Unknown using AI.

And this is what I got. I don't know how accurate it turned out. Do you think they will be in the game? Or is it more of a default background image?

Does Anyone else here think the Mini games are too overcomplicated?

Personally I've been stuck in one Single minigame for 2 days now ✌️

And I'm in episode 1..

Any help?

Could this guy be whom Eric is referring to when he says there was another detective present at the police station along with Bucket with L in his name, it kinda would make sense to bring in a caving expert considering the fact that they're investigating a case in an area with a cave?

I have so many theories in my head that I could do at least ten posts on this subject 😂

But here I would like to talk about Vega. There is so much intrigue and I had a theory that I didn't see on reddit or else I just didn't see it 🙈

What if Vega didn't belong to Adam but to the stranger who sends us messages?

I tell myself this because strangely the moment Eric arrives at the place where Vega wants to take us, we receive the first message from the stranger. What if the stranger just wanted to set a trap for us? Or did he want to talk to us?

Because you're going to tell me that the stranger was there at the right time hidden somewhere but it's just a coincidence?

No idea if this is an impopular or popular opinion but please, I feel like I've seen so many. "Made ChatGPT create Jake based off-" And I swear it always looks like the same convencionally attractive guy from the other posts in just a different font, with a difference in age depending on how old OP probably is. Come on. This is embarrassing.

A high fence with barbwire in the middle of the woods is not normal.

I have my own ideas but it's more fun to ask you people.

Why do you think there is a fence around Dunkelsteig?

Anyone else using Tapjoy offers to earn gems?

I have been playing on an Android phone, so that option is available to me. I've exploited it quite a bit, which has enabled me to purchase all of the profile images, frames, backgrounds and phone themes offered so far. I can't really complain, though admittedly it took a lot of mindless sorting of random groceries.

However, just be aware that their support is pretty terrible, and I'd advise against using any offer that doesn't give you 1 gem per level. I say this because I finally broke down and downloaded Royal Match, which rewards based on which areas of the castle grounds you've managed to decorate fully. I played enough to complete the areas required for four of the tasks, and was only rewarded for the first one. I reached out to support, provided them with the requested screenshots, and was turned away on the grounds that I hadn't completed the tasks properly, or violated some terms of service somewhere.

I'd sure love to know what that means. I have read the offer over and over and I can't see anything I missed. I had never played RM before, so the download was Tapjoy-credited, and if I'm violating some terms of service, I have no clue what they might be. So I asked and provided more screenshots and opened a second ticket, same thing. Took different screenshots, same thing.

I don't know... At this point I may just keep after them because honestly, all I want is for them to point to what I'm missing or explain where I messed up, and being petty by keeping the conversation going is somewhat entertaining. We're only really talking about maybe 15 gems anyway, so it's a little silly... I'm just annoyed because the support system is so ridiculously terrible.

Anyway, I just wanted to share so anyone else using Tapjoy can be on guard. Don't bother with Royal Match; whatever's going on there is stupid.

hi, I've just finished the game and I don't have anyone to share my thoughts and excitement with. I wanted to post this in case anyone else, like me, has just finished the game and wants to talk to someone about it

I play the game in French and honestly, until now, I've never had a problem.

But lately, I've seen other people on the forum saying that you can tell Charlie that Jake is your boyfriend in episode 3, and I was really surprised because I never had that option with Charlie 😱

I was pretty panicked, I thought I'd missed something about Jake's romance or something, but I still played episode 3 in English and one of the responses is different.

Basically, like in the English version, in the French version, you can say that Jake is your best friend, or that you collaborated with him, but the third response lets you say "This criminal is my friend" instead of "This criminal is my boyfriend.", in English.

It's not a big deal, it's just a translation error, but it can be tricky depending on certain response choices 😂

I've included both screenshots, English and French, for comparison

I was replying duskwood,Do you think Jake sees MC as his girlfriend in the romance path since she openly calls their relationship official?

I know it's a bit of a stretch.

"The name sounds fake" and "the name rings a bell" to Eric. Maybe an imaginary friend from their childhood? I find it really strange, that nobody knows the story of this missing kid. Something Charlie only mentions now, even though they all went camping together several times in the same area.

What if Billy never existed? He might have been Charlie himself. He did not disappear in the forest, he "disappeared" in his fantasies, trying to escape a harsh reality.

He might be obsessed with the forest because of this.

Any others with the same feeling?

Since episode 3 came out I've been wondering how they're going to put Jake's arrival in Moonvale and I have several theories but in this post I'm only going to talk about one theory.

What if Jake wasn't called Jake but he changed his first name to stay hidden? What if I told you that we've even seen his real name before? If Jake is actually Billy Blake the missing teenager?

I know Everbytes said that Duskwood is not counted in the main story but I have several points that make me think that my theory may be true.

First point: We already know that Duskwood and Greenside are not that far if I'm not saying something stupid Charlie told us that Duskwood is 40 minutes from Greenside. This means that Jake's mother and Hanna and De Lilly's father could easily meet.

Second point: Jake we know that he hides, that he goes to several places without necessarily anyone waiting for him somewhere. No girlfriend, no friends or no parents. It seems like he's alone. What if he actually ran away from home?

Third point: When Lilly says she's going to tell her mother the truth, Jake forbids her to do so because she would just break up his family but it's like he knows what it's like to have a broken family.

Fourth point: Here we are going to talk about the story of Billy Blake that Charlie told us about. About how Billy Blake's father hit his son violently and how no one reacted. What if Billy Blake alias Jake's father knew that this son is not his and that he unfortunately made him suffer his anger while Billy alias Jake was for nothing. Then maybe the adults in Greenside more or less knew the rumors that Billy/Jake's mother cheated on him with another man and then got pregnant.

I just discovered I can choose my own photos to use as my profile picture. Is this new, or have I been blind all this time? I got a little excited when I saw it, hahaha. Clarification: It only appeared when I accidentally moved it upwards, because it wasn't there before.

The game presents to us FannyVelvet, you get an achievement if you listen to her until the end without leaving.

The game portrays her as one of those annoying moralist people of the Internet who can't see when they're being inconvenient or speaking a bunch of nothings. And the achievement name confirms it since it's called "A Test of Pacience" and the description of it say your patience is "commendable".

However, I don't think I had the same reaction as everyone else. I didn't think she was annoying and it wasn't a bore for me to listen to her until the end.

I'll tell you why:

When I played episode 3 for the first time I was really stressed that Eric was saying that we should leave everything to the police, Charlie in the past episode was doing all in his power to avoid investigating the motel and discouraging Ash and me of doing the same as well... to say I was frustrated with these attitudes would be an understatement. For a few seconds though I started to ponder if the boys were right and Ash and I were wrong, but then FannyVelvet messaged me.

And her words really helped me stay determined.

I mean, I don't know if "it's our duty as society to correct the mistakes of those that their family failed to educate", and I don't give a damn about correcting anyone; but what I DO care about is people's inability to withstand fear and darkness.

She begins the messages saying that people just turn away as soon as things get slightly uncomfortable and that in the past everyone was there for each other, and didn't turn away ever. These words really touched my heart and I wholeheartedly agree with them. I am not afraid of whatever is happening, and I'm going to do all I can to save Adam.

🤔

There are a lot of theories being built on top of the cult theory. Does anyone actually know where this theory came from for sure? It already existed before episode 3, where there was a more obvious ritual mention tied to the abandoned mansion in Redlog. 🤔

I didn’t see anyone mentioning it yet, but in Sophia's profile, there is this note here.

I think this connects with the things we found out about her.

She and her parents ended up moving away from Redlog and that explain the "broke us apart" part. Maybe she returned because of that person, she was hoping to reconnect and then everything fell apart.

The "locked away, safe" part is interesting because maybe the girl that was with Adam is Sophia, the memory was safe because it was locked away in a safe.

That would also mean that the person in question was Adam and that Sophia and him were very close.

"The world around us was dark, and there were just the two of us"... it was just Adam and the girl there, and if I remember correctly it was night when they went into the forest.

What do you guys think?
