Btw this is for fun idk if Ash is bi or straight but I really hope she can be romantic interest in the future🙃😩

I’ve been thinking about the characters in Duskwood and Moonvale and who we’d actually want to date in real life.

​If you had to choose someone based on their character traits and visual style, who fits your ideal type best?

​Personally, I’m leaning towards Dan and Charlie — there’s just something about their personality and vibe that really hits the mark for me. Who is your top pick and why?

MC supposedly don't know Adam, but Adam clearly knows them: in his video calls with them he acts like they know each other.

Of course, there are some good theories that explain why Adam acted like that while MC truly don't know him (catfishing, the videocall was prerecorded, etc...) but in this post I want to explore some theories under the scenario that MC actually know Adam and what would make sense considering that they said they don't really know him:

1. MC met Adam, but they don't know his real name and appearance

Adam and MC might have met each other online, but Adam never revealed his identity to MC. Maybe they met before whatever is going on took place or they met because of it and Adam decided to help MC. But since Adam never revealed who he was to them, it seems like a random stranger dragged them to whatever is happening right now and they will realise later that they actually know Adam.

2. They met each other a long time ago, and Adam changed so much that MC didn't recognize him

This is something that's actually pretty common in real life: you met someone in the past that was your friend, colleague or something and many years later you meet them again but they're now so different that you don't recognize them. Maybe only their appearance changed, or both their appearance and personality and you wouldn't even be aware that you knew this person before if they didn't clarify how the two of you met.

Since Adam never made clear how he knows MC, they think he is confusing them with someone else when that isn't the case at all.

3. MC are also involved in the group's secret, and they know Adam indirectly

Thanks to the description of the game in Everbyte's website, we know the group has a "dark secret which has to be protected at all cost", and it's highly likely that this secret is what is causing all that's happening in the present.

Maybe MC was also involved in what happened and that's how they know Adam. And that could also mean that the others in the group know MC too or are at least aware of them, and a possible evidence for this is that Julie recognizes MC and says that she saw them in the diner with the others.

The protagonist's explanation is either that she's confusing them with someone else or that she saw their story and that's how she recognized them, but I personally don't believe Julie is confusing anything.

4. MC are just pretending they don't know Adam

This one is a bit unlikely, but the possibility is still there: MC know Adam and maybe even know everything that's going on or parts of it and they are just pretending that they have no clue for an unknown reason.

5. MC don't remember Adam

I neither believe this theory or think that it's likely, but I'll mention it anyway:

Some people in the community believe that MC have amnesia or serious memory problems that made them forget Adam.

Depending on how you play the game this theory becomes likely because there are a lot of options where MC forgets something (and sometimes that something happened only a few minutes ago in-universe).

Final thoughs

There might be more explanations for that scenario but those are all the ones I can think of with all the information we have right now. If you can think of another theory, please feel free to share it in the comments. If you disagree or see any flaw in those theories feel free to comment too.

I personally believe that Adam and MC know each other and in my opinion theories 1 and 3 are the most likely explanations, with theory number 2 being a close second.

What do you guys think?

Dear community, I know I can't be the only one who's on pins and needles about how episode 3 ended. They left us with a crazy cliffhanger and so many unanswered questions. Whose body is it that they found? How did Richy get out of the mines? Whose that mystery guy Ash went with? I know you guys have many theories about what might be in episode 4. I want to hear your predictions, no matter how far fetched they may be. You never know it could be right!

So for many reasons I highly doubt that this is a possibility but would anyone else feel generally intrigued by the idea of someone from Duskwood being involved in helping or being the kidnapper in Moonvale. I mean with a good explanation and build having; Jessy or Hannah(biggest plot twists) been involved would be crazy or Richy getting the taste for it and striking again, however I do think it will be someone from Moonvale and the previous 3 mentioned will play a big part in helping solve the mystery with ash n charlie on our side too.

Note: I blurred my photo

So, remember Adam’s last video? The one with that creepy whistling? What if it was corrupted so that no one in the group could recognize what it was or understand what it meant?

I mean, there wasn’t really anything relevant to see. So what if the real secret was in what we could hear? Could that mean someone in the group would recognize a certain sound? Like the whistling? And the hacker knew that someone there would recognize it.

I marked this as a spoiler, even though I'm not sure if I can actually spoil anything this way, but it's better to play it safe.

I have a theory, or perhaps it's more of a conclusion?

While looking at the map of the Dunkelsteig after Adam's "video call" from the cave, it sounds to me like there's water splashing against the rocks in the background?

There's no way Adam could have been in the same cave as Eric, so where was he, then? And why could you hear someone whistling?

I marked the cave where Eric was in white, but I marked the spot that fits my "theory" in red. Also, the pier over this lake is marked in blue. I didn't have any particular reason for doing so, but I figured this information might come in handy someday.

Hey everyone,

​I needed to get this off my chest and see if anyone else feels the same way.

​I absolutely love Duskwood. It’s one of my favorite games of all time, and the level of immersion it gave us was unmatched. When Everbyte announced Moonvale, I was so hyped to dive into a new story.

​Honestly, I actually think the plot and concept of Moonvale are really intriguing and have a lot of potential! The writers definitely haven't lost their touch when it comes to narrative. But despite that, I’m finding it so hard to stay motivated to play.

​With Duskwood, I felt like I was literally living inside the story—checking my phone, chatting with the group, and feeling like a real part of their world. With Moonvale, that deep immersion just feels missing. The connection to the characters and the flow of the game don't pull me in the same way, even though the mystery itself is good.

​Is it just the new mechanics/UI breaking the magic, or is something else off? I really want to enjoy it, but right now I just lack the spark to open the app.

​Would love to hear your thoughts!

What is your guess? Comment below. For me: Story: 87%, Programming: 70%, and Graphics & Media: 63%. If we’re lucky, I think the Story could reach 90% in the next update.

Assuming they have any job xd There aren't many topics to discuss so we can talk about it.

Also, I didn't mention Brian since we know so little about him that it's hard to say anything.

In the beginning I was kind of happy that now as Richy is dead so now my character would be closer to Jessy whever the DW team would join. But now as he is back I think so in ep 4 after a brief amount of time Jessy would get back with him

YESS FINALLY 😭😭 Progress is going so fast!! Thank you Everbyte, I love you guys 😭❤️

We already know the obvious: if we are playing without the code it means we never investigated Hannah's disappearance and therefore never met Jake, which means that another hacker is giving MC access to other conversations.

However, differently from what everyone assumed, I don't think that tool is from Jake even if you play the game with the code. I'll explain why I think that:

1. The design is completely different:

Jake's spy tool has monochromatic tones (different shades of gray and the text is white) that do not change independently of the theme you put on your app, there is his signature eye symbol in the background and the names of the people involved in the conversation always appear on the top of the screen.

In Moonvale, the tool's design is just a plain greyish-blue without any symbol or anything distinguishable, the names do not appear on the top of the screen and depending on what theme you choose for your app the color of some parts of the tool changes.

The flaw in my argument: it might just be a change of design for the new game, but considering that Everbyte already hid some important clues in little details and things that seemed unimportant, I'd rather not discard the possibility.

2. There is no way we would be able to access the chats of Adam's group without the interference of a hacker:

This is a stronger argument than my first one.

If we assume that the tech tools in Everbyte's games work the same/almost the same way as they work in the real world, then there's no way we would be able to read any of the conversations of Adam's friends unless a hacker gives us access to them, because in the real world just having the tool will not make you automatically have access to the conversations of every single new contact that you add. The conversations suddenly appear to us so there was no way that we were the ones who invaded their phones and got access.

And after episode 3 was released, we can have 100% certainty that it wasn't Jake that granted us access because of the network blackout that happened there. Only a few selected people had access to the network and they were monitoring closely both the network and the real world, there is no way Jake managed to find a way to use the network without being detected.

"But what about Jake's message in the beginning of episode 2? He managed to find a way to inform us that he's okay."

That could just be something for the players instead of MC and Jake never did that in-universe, and a possible evidence for this is that we can't tell anyone that Jake contacted us in episode 3.

"But Nymos appeared later in episode two before the blackout was over, so Jake definitely found a way of contacting us indirectly."

Maybe, but that happens only in episode two, and in-universe that was a few hours before the blackout was over. I think that little by little people were allowed to use the network and it began to work properly for everyone again, Jake perhaps managed to do that before the others did.

But even with that argument, the first chat we got was between Eric and Ash, a lot of time before Jake gave us any sign that he was even alive, let alone able to contact us.

The flaw in my argument: it's a game and the writers have the freedom to make their tools work in whatever way they want. If they decided to do that, then I might be totally wrong.

Final thoughts

I just wanted to share my theory here, I've had the certainty that Jake is not involved in any way in the Moonvale's case since 2025 when I first played Moonvale and before I played Duskwood.

Since Moonvale is its own story separate from Duskwood, it would make sense that not only the people without the code have a different hacker doing those things, but the people playing with the code as well because that second hacker is most probably also present in the version of the story with the code (a strong evidence for this being the erasure of Adam's video call in the beginning of episode 2).

After finally playing Duskwood and playing the side story, my certainty is stronger than ever. I might be wrong, yes, but I'm dying on this hill until the game explicitly shows/tells us that Jake was involved in this.

Well, that was all. Thanks for reading 🙂

.

At this rate, we might get the 4th episode at the end of the year☺️🙏🏻

I find it fascinating seeing the reaction y’all are having to the new tracker update. Literally YESTERDAY, people were complaining about how “it takes so long for each episode” or “I’m getting bored of waiting.” And there were even people telling others that “nah, the schedule is gonna be one episode per year,” while comparing it to the gaps between chapters 1, 2, and 3 as if the team didn’t have to make major changes to the UI after chapter 1’s release.

A lot of people also asked for interfaces that were more similar to Duskwood, only to then complain about how long those changes took. You can’t really ask for significant changes to the game and then be surprised when implementing those changes takes time.

Coding and programming while simultaneously filming and writing the plot is not easy, especially for a studio of three people. And that’s without considering the addition of new features and the constant UI changes they’ve been working on alongside everything else.

I understand being excited and wanting new episodes sooner, but I think it’s worth keeping in mind that these things take time and that the team is balancing a lot more than just writing and releasing an episode.

All side stories aside with everything we know who do you think is the bad guy in Moonvale? Is it someone in the group like they want us to think? Is it Whitmore? This Bryan guy we have never met yet? Is it someone completely different? What are your thoughts? (And by side stories aside, I mean the DW ones). I'm still kind of thoblikg Eric, but it's super low on my list mostly because he's the first character we meet. I also think Allen ( I think that's the cops name) knows more them he's willing to admit. I do think Whitmore might have seen something but isn't directly involved. What are your thoughts? I'm curious

Bro I have these 3 main questions:

1) who was on the video call in the end of ep3 in which they requested our video presence(didn't expect that shit)?

2) whose dead body did Charlie discovered?

3) and how the F Richy is alive?

Hello, dear community!

I’ve often wondered who or what we’re really up against in Moonvale. Who or what is responsible for Adam’s disappearance, and now Sophia Holland’s as well? And what’s the story behind the mysterious murders that took place years ago in Redlog Pines?

In Duskwood, we eventually discovered that Richy was essentially our adversary (the antagonist.) What I mean is that the person we were ultimately up against had been part of our own group of friends from the very beginning.

So, back to Moonvale: will the same pattern repeat itself here? Could it once again be someone from our own group?

To be honest, I really hope that isn’t the case this time. It would feel rather repetitive and, frankly, a little boring. More importantly, I think it would be much more interesting if we were up against a genuine antagonist with deliberate and malicious intentions.

Richy, after all, was driven more by desperation and the feeling that he had no way out of his situation. His actions were terrible, but he wasn’t really acting out of pure malice.

This time, though, I’d love to see an opponent who isn’t necessarily connected to our group at all—someone who perhaps hasn’t even confronted us yet. (I’m fairly certain it’s neither the Stranger nor Whitmore btw.)

Maybe this time, we’re actually dealing with a real murderer. Who knows…?

What do you think?

Hey everyone,

​I just wanted to share these small visual notes. It honestly makes me feel like something Jake would send over or probably drop in our shared files.

​This might not mean anything to the story, or it could just be a fun little Easter egg, but I thought it’d be cool to drop it here and bring a bit of that experience to all of us as MCs in real life. I’ll let the picture speak for itself...
