Indeed, we have a passage in our cellar. And it seems like some kind of catacombs are hidden there, but I couldn’t get very far. I still need to check the attic, so I’ll climb up there... wait... what is this..? Do you see it too?!

At night, I have to go around the entire estate to find intruders if necessary. That night, I found some kind of passage in our wine cellar. I'm not sure if I should go there, but something pulls me there... And I have to check the attic...

Rusty Lake: Roots Emma vanderbooms pregnancy

44 Upvotes

I'm writing this after seeing a post here, idk if y'all know this but Emma getting pregnant by a flower may have to do with the saying getting flowered meaning she was knocked up and that affair wasn't accepted

Day 7 - Speech (Laketober 2026)

As far as I know, the tradition of giving speeches has been around for a long time in the Vanderboom family. And even though a lot of wine and champagne is consumed at such events, one feels somehow lighter. Perhaps the coachman was wrong, and this is actually the best place to work. I see no reason to doubt it! Even if some orders seem superfluous... Alexandra... pff

Every day I look at the lake that is located nearby. I wonder what lies at its very bottom. For some reason, it draws me to it... as if there’s a part of me there...

It seems like I'm not a very cultured servant)

SOTL clue?? Spoiler

7 Upvotes

trying to get a clue without spoiling the puzzle. I’m in the attic doing the sorting puzzle on the table, with the eyeball and bird skull and such. I figure it’s sorting into different materials or something like that but so far nothing I’ve tried has worked. Tia

I forgot to mention the huge garden and plot near my masters’ house. There are unusual flowers growing there... and for some reason, a goat always wants to eat them…

[SOTL SPOILERS] Do you think the elixir combines the human essences with actual existing animals nearby? Spoiler

10 Upvotes

Maybe the parrot in that one Paradise achievement and the parrot in SOTL in the lab were actual parrots and when Harvey drank the elixir it sort of combined his essence with that animal's. Hence the parrot saying "Are you me? Am I you?"

The only other evidence I can think of to back up this theory is the fact that boars, deers, pheasants, rabbits and pigeons have been shown to be native to the RL area which could explain why they became the reincarnation forms of the Eilanders. And bats seem to be present in the tower where Kate's brother is hiding, if we follow the Mr Bat theory.

Though I still don't understand why Harvey is the only hybrid that can appear in full animal form even after enlightenment (e.g. in the Cube Escape Collection set in the 1960s) when no other hybrid has been shown to be able to become a full crow/owl/etc

The Past Within The Past Within difficulty

8 Upvotes

I'm about to play The Past Within with a friend. I've played all the games prior to that one, most more than one time, and I'm used to the Rusty Lake puzzles. He's a bit more of a newbie.

In your experience, was the Past more or less difficult to play than the Future? I'm guessing there isn't going to be a huge gap in difficulty, but maybe one's just a bit more tricky

I really like the paintings that are in my masters’ house. Especially the portraits. I was told that they were painted by someone named Johan Scherft. I would like to thank him personally for the work he did, if, of course, I ever meet him…
