[crystal pecan]

[fickle palm]

I knew it!!!!

[bitter holly]

[crystal pecan]

Yep!

[lament sail]

We'll make sure to drop al ink here when it happens.

[sly imp]

Excited!

[lament sail]

I added a heading in the document

[bitter holly]

are the scrolls related to this 👀

[crystal pecan]

Me too, hoping there will be something that leads to the chalkboard...

[lament sail]

please send all notes of the new broadcast worth sharing there!

[fickle palm]

I hope past have a secret too for example, chessboard or Clock.

[distant gull]

might even be the 4 symbol box

[crystal pecan]

So many secrets!

[lament sail]

Hey Everyone welcome to the new channel in which we try to discover the secrets The Past Within and Best Kept Memory have to offer.

[sly imp]

And obviously it will have secrets, it was sent in the secrets group!!!!

[crystal pecan]

And only the people looking at this secrets channel will know about the secret thread 😉

[sly imp]

The secret squad

[distant gull]

putting this picture here too. Made by @lament sail

[lament sail]

ah thanks! ye I'm refraining from adding that to the document

bc its definitely a work in progress lmaoo

[sly imp]

Also known as secruad (pronounced secret)

[fickle palm]

Secret miner!

[crystal pecan]

The individual images are in the document, though

In case anyone wants to check

[fickle palm]

I did watch Q&A document today for find some secret...

But there is no secret...

[sly imp]

Sad

[lament sail]

ye I didnt spot anything in the qna images either

nothing that stands out RIGHT NOW anyway

[sly imp]

Maybe first letter of every sentence, that's a classic

[crystal pecan]

It might make more sense in retrospect, like the chalkboard

Just keep it in the back of our minds

[fickle palm]

I think chalkboard makes sence.

[crystal pecan]

It does, but before we found the first scroll, the second scroll didn't stand out

It's only after the first discovery that something else came to light

😄

[fickle palm]

Change the prospective. It can be last one.

[sly imp]

Yoooo

[lament sail]

can you drop a link?

[lament sail]

WE're live!!

[crystal pecan]

No time in the corner

[grim nexus]

[lament sail]

thats me in the corner..

Started

[patent sapphire]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gsMOIMQY0tKT5njCPPPKbDSgJr_QE7mzJYnbw0MItHE/edit

Here it is for us to put all the screenshots and theories

k

[lament sail]

Nah

[patent sapphire]

I'll not be doing much, as I'm in class rn

[lament sail]

we have a general document

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fGphzv33aRPH6_WK8zP5IYJBEzkdUZSXa_R8FQ6BsrE/edit?usp=sharing use this.

[patent sapphire]

we'll keep that same document?

[formal halo]

The stream got brighter

[patent sapphire]

alright! I thought that was just from yesterday

[patent sapphire]

so lets keep on this one

[clever pagoda]

waiting for the time stamp of this stream

[lament sail]

why not just use one document for everything:)

[zealous stag]

could 715 be the time?

[lament sail]

base don what?

the recording name?

[zealous stag]

yeah

this seem too easy tho

[distant gull]

clock

[formal halo]

Sound

[distant gull]

steamcode

[lament sail]

clock repeatedly from 12 to 6.

[patent sapphire]

oh now that I already bought it HAHAH

[distant gull]

i wonder if clock will stop at a specific time

guess not

[patent sapphire]

The hours one kept going from 12 to 6, as @lament sail said

[hollow lake]

I'm in school

[fast portal]

[patent sapphire]

I'm at uni hahaha geez

[lament sail]

ones enough lol

also I wonder if this means rose = that.

[distant gull]

they disappear at the same time so

maybe

[formal halo]

Image faded

[distant gull]

more steam code

[formal halo]

Steam

[lament sail]

steam code weheee

[clever pagoda]

[crystal pecan]

Me, poking the livestream with a stick: Do something!
Livestream, does something
Me:

[lament sail]

Family photo

new diary

[formal halo]

Square

[fast portal]

the notebook must be the second scroll then

[lament sail]

mhm it blinked for a second.

[grim nexus]

Damn does it mean we’ll get a massive piece of text to do that diary-puzzle at some point

[clever pagoda]

so we have some pictues like the slides

[distant gull]

going to do past part rn lol

[crystal pecan]

I'm posting screencaps in the doc in case anyone missed a clue

[hollow lake]

Finally a break

I can join for a while

[formal halo]

New sound

[radiant crane]

Cabin backwards

[tidal sail]

True

[grim nexus]

There’s a whole long document pinned in the channel

[hollow lake]

What could this means

Mean*

[clever pagoda]

wait for the recording for time stamps

[fair oriole]

oh, sorry, thanks

[formal halo]

No more humming sound

Sound get quieter

[grim nexus]

For real though

[tidal sail]

Cant wait to get home and watch this

[crystal pecan]

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!

[formal halo]

Ready

[hollow lake]

Code gone

[grim nexus]

Is it?

[fast portal]

nice

[formal halo]

[hollow lake]

Puppet hanging

[formal halo]

Voodoo doll

[lament sail]

Vodoo doll

also thank you Dwept

[clever pagoda]

[distant gull]

if the first square is rose, what will the second one be corresponding to in the diary? ida?

[spring owl]

EHT

[lament sail]

new code

EHT

[formal halo]

Steam

[hollow lake]

Code

[lament sail]

THE CABIN?

[formal halo]

The

[fair oriole]

EHT

[distant gull]

vodoo doll is gone emmm

[radiant crane]

The backwards

[grim nexus]

Indeed

[lament sail]

a reference to a RL game?

[hollow lake]

Cabin the

[formal halo]

Eht

[fair oriole]

the cabin (?)

[radiant crane]

Something something the Cabin, maybe?

[fair oriole]

the first game?, the lake

[hollow lake]

Maybe something is in cube escape the lake

[lament sail]

fair point

[fair oriole]

maybe

[formal halo]

Battery

[hollow lake]

The gem?

[formal halo]

Dropped

[lament sail]

thatl;l b a length strream
FISH

[hollow lake]

Squares

[spring owl]

dale?

[fair oriole]

btw i found the scroll thanks to the secret shared in the log, how can i open it?

[clever pagoda]

fish

[distant gull]

emm

[lament sail]

check achievements

[distant gull]

nothing in the diary has fish reference

[crystal pecan]

Every 20 min, with the final charge lasting Who Knows

[fair oriole]

thx

[crystal pecan]

I'm guessing the order we're given is the order to use em?

[distant gull]

oh maybe

[lament sail]

thats definitely my first instinct

[crystal pecan]

Or the order is determined by a different code. BBut yeah, the visuals don't seem to appluy to the diary

[grim nexus]

My guess is that we might get another hint

[lament sail]

guess we're fishing for clues:)

[grim nexus]

Like text or order for the symbols on the cubes

[whole canyon]

perhaps we have another diary somewhere to tell us? who knows 🤔

[formal halo]

Waiting

[spring owl]

another code

[formal halo]

Code

[grim nexus]

Considering how MANY of the hints we’re getting with the scrolls and now on both streams

[spring owl]

NI

[formal halo]

In the cabin

[spring owl]

in the cabin?

[fair oriole]

idk if it's useful, but this is what i found in the scroll

[lament sail]

we have that one already

but thanks!

the knights who say Ni

[radiant crane]

Something In The Cabin

[fair oriole]

oh well :/

[radiant crane]

We must bring them a shrubbery!

[formal halo]

Next would be the cube image

[grim nexus]

Lmao hint in the cabin?

[crystal pecan]

Part of me still wants to connect this to the Collection

[lament sail]

the fish??

[fair oriole]

me too man

[spring owl]

???

rose

[formal halo]

Rose

[fair oriole]

bottom right

[distant gull]

that was a fast code

[fair oriole]

it was

[spring owl]

it was the previous code i think

[distant gull]

yh

cuz it also showed fish at first

along with the code

then flashed to rose

[lament sail]

ye might b a quick error

[spring owl]

yeah

[formal halo]

Next would be steamcode

[fair oriole]

maybe every code is connected to its image on the cube?

[lament sail]

maybe but theres no fish

[formal halo]

Ye0

[fair oriole]

and the order of the images is in "the cabin"

[lament sail]

Koyori big brained the stream

[unkempt basalt]

Is it the code to steam wallet?

[fair oriole]

is someone doing a spectrogram of the stream?

[lament sail]

activate product on steam in your library

[distant gull]

code for free version of past within on steam probably

[formal halo]

After stream

[lament sail]

@fair oriole god I wish lmao I want to excerpt the woosh sound after the stream is done to see.

[bright shoal]

it is yeah

i was kinda hoping it was some kind of beta branch thing but its just a game code

[formal halo]

Reverse code soon

[radiant crane]

I wonder if they'll include any super slowed down audio in these?

[formal halo]

40 min

[spring owl]

SKOOB

books

[lament sail]

SKOOB

[grim nexus]

Books in the cabin?

[lament sail]

https://tenor.com/view/imamgood-waow-lookadthat-gif-22298740

[crystal pecan]

I love books

[grim nexus]

Is it now paradox related lol

[spring owl]

me too

[bright shoal]

or skoob in the cabin

[formal halo]

Image on cube and computer next

[crystal pecan]

Battery still drainin'

[supple tree]

First time, let's play the past within anyone interested?

[distant gull]

[bright shoal]

i didnt even realize this has been going for 30 minutes

[lament sail]

@supple tree RUN FROM THIS CHANNEL

you will be spoiled

[bright shoal]

#🔍｜tpw-looking-for-player

[distant gull]

eyes

[lament sail]

go to #🔍｜tpw-looking-for-player

[grim nexus]

Also we’re running out of battery lol

[formal halo]

We have 1h left

[fair oriole]

Robin Ras is that you?

[whole canyon]

I think Rusty Lake is fan of Scooby Doo
Sorta late on here, was looking at mailing services haha

[formal halo]

Steamcode incoming

Or dev want to break the loop

[lament sail]

that is the point of the game

[crystal pecan]

20 minutes to drain the first bar, 10 to drain the second
That poor battery

[fair oriole]

is the battery related to the stream's duration?

[lament sail]

ye

[fair oriole]

k

[formal halo]

Yep

[crystal pecan]

The battery emptying does seem to mean END STREAM, if last time is any indication

[formal halo]

Code

[bright shoal]

they're reading your messages and changing it for you 💀

[spring owl]

LMAO

[fair oriole]

Books in the Cabin

let's think about that..

[formal halo]

Reverse code next

[fair oriole]

i mean, the message seems pretty complete to me

[lament sail]

Hubris

[fair oriole]

what could the next word be

[spring owl]

EHT

the

the books in the cabin

[fair oriole]

The Books in The Cabin

[glacial island]

how get it

[formal halo]

Imagine the next code is ton

[spring owl]

remember

[lament sail]

get what @glacial island ?

[distant gull]

remember books in the cabin

[lament sail]

REBMEMBER

[fair oriole]

kek

remember the books in the cabin

[radiant crane]

Remember the books in the cabin?

[calm zephyr]

[glacial island]

the book in the cabin？ how get it？

[fair oriole]

oh jesus i love this game

[lament sail]

okay ill b real

[formal halo]

So we need to replay the series

[glacial island]

demo？

[lament sail]

I do not remember the books in the cabin

[distant gull]

^

[fair oriole]

Then we are screwed, the game is over, time to go home boys

[formal halo]

No square code

[calm zephyr]

At this rate I'll have memorised everything in the series

[distant gull]

i have diary opened for 15+minutes now more square code plz

[lament sail]

also whoevers fighting Sammy in placing screenshots; please stop she got it Handles

[formal halo]

2 bat

Bar

[sullen fjord]

thats what i got on my scroll

[crystal pecan]

Thank you for your contribution!

[formal halo]

Steam code next

[distant gull]

Got a new one

[radiant crane]

||I wonder if that relates to the speed challenge?||

[lament sail]

thank you @distant gull @sullen fjord

adding these to the document.

[fast portal]

wait how

[fair oriole]

?

what is it?

[distant gull]

square cod

[fair oriole]

top left

[crystal pecan]

Battery down again

[radiant crane]

They really need to invest in a power cable for that camera!

[formal halo]

So now is steam code

[lament sail]

O

[crystal pecan]

It is talking about the server's cabin?

[lament sail]

THE TRAILER

[sullen fjord]

could any of these hints back from the cube escape collection maybe be related to this now?

[formal halo]

The square code is put random or at a specific time stamp

[lament sail]

THJE TRAILER

[crystal pecan]

OH RIGHJT

THE TRAILER HAD BOOKS

[distant gull]

i was just asking around in chinese community and collecting their codes

[formal halo]

Probably no more reverse code

[fair oriole]

OH JESUS

[formal halo]

Battery will drop soon

[formal halo]

We at 44 min

[fair oriole]

is twitter related?

maybe there's something there

[lament sail]

there we are

[distant gull]

we can put it in the past part

[lament sail]

Yep

[distant gull]

fk i already opened the box

[lament sail]

the big box

[distant gull]

cuz im on diary part

someone else try

[fair oriole]

maybe we gotta find the twitter account of Theo Hoorn, like in The white door( i think) with instagram

[glacial island]

NIBAC

[spring owl]

cabin again

[formal halo]

Probably no more clue, just steam code

[fair oriole]

yeah, it's repeating

[distant gull]

we still need 2 square code though

[crystal pecan]

Miss Hoorn never seemed to reply after leaving for the lake...

[unique monolith]

anyone here remembers books in the cabin?

[lament sail]

thats the trailer cabin now

[fair oriole]

ooh

[sly imp]

Where??

[bitter holly]

there're too many infos omg 😭😭😭

[lament sail]

O

THE DIARY CODE

IS NOT FOR THE DAIRY

ITS FOR THE BOX

[formal halo]

@lament sail you hear weird sound?

[sly imp]

WHICH BOX

[unique monolith]

the one in past?

[crystal pecan]

OH DARN

THe coal box

[distant gull]

the big box containing coal

[rocky epoch]

opened it

[formal halo]

3 times in the stream

[whole canyon]

I'm on the box rn

[sly imp]

In the past??

[crystal pecan]

!!!!!!!

[lament sail]

okay so Dwept thats a new scroll??

[crystal pecan]

Does that mean we'll get multiple new hints from one new scroll?

[lament sail]

Because if so we'll need to make a new scroll heading in the document.

[formal halo]

Square

[crystal pecan]

[whole canyon]

what's the code? perhaps we all have other scrolls?

[sly imp]

Share the code

[rocky epoch]

yeah got two now

[spring owl]

nice

[lament sail]

New scroll

[crystal pecan]

If the hint you get from a scroll is random, then a new scroll doesn'tmean 1 new hint
It means several, because different people will get different hints
SO exciting 😄

[distant gull]

i think ive comple4ted the diary

[lament sail]

location in the inventory

[distant gull]

but nothing is popping up

[lament sail]

new scroll

[crystal pecan]

Still seems to suggest a min of 4 scrolls

[whole canyon]

So there's more scrolls??

[fair oriole]

useful?

[lament sail]

No.

[fair oriole]

k

[sly imp]

What's the code??

[formal halo]

IOS

[crystal pecan]

Hoorn isn't an odd last name, that seems like a real person so please do not harass them

[formal halo]

for ios game ig

[fair oriole]

sorry, i didn't write anything to them

[warped furnace]

I got to the stream late what has happened

[crystal pecan]

I didn't think you did,just as a general headsup!

😄

[fair oriole]

damn, i don't have a friend to arrive to that part of the game

[distant gull]

whats the order of the 4 symbol?

[sly imp]

Can anyone tell me the code so i can check the scroll hahaha

[lament sail]

working on an image.

[sly imp]

Yea the order

[fair oriole]

same

[formal halo]

yea

[fair oriole]

it's different wether you choose bee or butterfly i think

[formal halo]

too bad I've already bought the game

[warped furnace]

What happened in the first hour of the stream?

[spring owl]

i got the code for android :)

[formal halo]

check doc file

[crystal pecan]

You can check the document for screenshots! I haven't looked away once

My eyes are very dry now

[formal halo]

.

[unique monolith]

yeah what's the order for books symbols?

[crystal pecan]

Damy's working on an image

[sharp linden]

Thank you!

[formal halo]

out of battery

[fair oriole]

snap

we need another backwards word

[whole canyon]

boom, battery's gonna die

[smoky flume]

have you already checked if the audio is a code (if you picturize it)

[fair oriole]

after stream

[formal halo]

weird sound again

[crystal pecan]

To do that, the stream needs to be either recorded or downloaded, so that will probably take a little bit

[formal halo]

laughing sound

[lament sail]

order for the book symbols on the box

[fair oriole]

has this image on the cube ever showed before?

[lament sail]

Yes.

[spring owl]

yep

[whole canyon]

ah bones I got the same as Sammy and Damy have

[crystal pecan]

Back to screencapping the stream

[fair oriole]

same picture

[grim nexus]

Will also check my steam version a bit later lol

[sly imp]

it's a duplicate?

[fair oriole]

yep

[zealous stag]

got this for the past scroll

[formal halo]

new clue

[grim nexus]

It happens too

[sly imp]

that is interesting, so second scrolls can also be duplicates

[zealous stag]

so probably scrolls don't have to be separated by past/future

[sly imp]

of first scrolls

[fair oriole]

the back of the device? (on the cube)

[lament sail]

ius that a broken vase

[calm zephyr]

Yeah, with the cassette player

[lament sail]

O shit you're seemignly right.

I'm gonna keep em seperated for now though.

[fair oriole]

yeah, just to be sure

[lament sail]

someone else is working on proper grouping for em so well see what they come up with lol

[formal halo]

1h stream

[smoky flume]

can someone explain me what the letters at the top left of the stream mean?

[warped furnace]

What does the EHT on the top left of the screen mean?

[calm zephyr]

The

[formal halo]

the

[unique monolith]

remember the books in the cabin full message

[smoky flume]

oh, scrambled words

[sly imp]

backward it's the and all the words combined make 'remember the books in the cabin'

[warped furnace]

I hope someone has recorded to whole stream

[lament sail]

the VOD should end up on their channel I think

[rocky epoch]

my guess is that there's two scrolls in each chapter, one in the past and one in the future

[sly imp]

it will still be available after i think

[formal halo]

gonna end soon

[fickle palm]

Message : the books in the cabin

[solemn spade]

i think we find piano code in past chap 2

[sly imp]

if the one scroll is on the chalkboard, then that leaves one scroll in the past

[fickle palm]

Books in the cabin

[lament sail]

Indeed!

[unique monolith]

Ey boys ya gotta hydrate if you want DA CUBE

[fickle palm]

Yesterday i was watched...i knew it..

[calm zephyr]

Has anyone tried EGG on the piano (I don't really have a reason for it)

[sly imp]

so one more scroll location to go, and for the other scroll we need more hints for that

[lament sail]

ye nothing

[calm zephyr]

Ah

[distant gull]

past scrolls

[whole canyon]

a gem!

[fair oriole]

i tried Giorno's Theme, from Jojo but nothing happened...

[solemn spade]

it looks a gem in butterfly mode

[spring owl]

damn

[lament sail]

@fickle palm thanks but all of these are already in the document haha

[calm zephyr]

A pity truly

[fair oriole]

and i also tried Harvey's Song from Collection, but nothing again

[fickle palm]

Dang it...;(

[crystal pecan]

Feel free to check the document and add anything that's missing, but please first check if it's there 😄

[fickle palm]

Okay...

[fair oriole]

Battery's gonna die soon

[whole canyon]

that battery is holding pretty strong on that one bar

[crystal pecan]

I give it 5 to 10 min, just like yesterday

[lament sail]

do all streams end with albert in the coffin?

[whole canyon]

Yippie, it's grandma

grandpa I mean

[fair oriole]

we'll see

[calm zephyr]

Yeah, it might be reaching far, but still gonna hunt all the instances of music and try them

[distant gull]

we still need 1 square code

unless we count the glitch one

[sly imp]

could mean the three gems on the chalkboard but it's a stretch

[lament sail]

we dont, the squares were for the box not the diary

[formal halo]

end

[fair oriole]

the end

[formal halo]

k time to find partner

[lament sail]

mhm another left corner piece..

[whole canyon]

well, that was one hell of a stream

[lament sail]

maybe theres a "past" puzzle and "future" puzzle

[distant gull]

but we had 5 square code ethough

[whole canyon]

but, probably it's not the end as of yet! I assume at least

[crystal pecan]

So
Much
PrtSc

[loud cedar]

did anyone do the squares secret?

[lament sail]

yes check the pinned document

[loud cedar]

oh, it wasnt for book, gotcha

[fair oriole]

so

"The books in the cabinet" clue was already used to open the big box

so i think it's not useful anymore

[crystal pecan]

There's 4 unique square codes, one glitch and one repeat of the cycle. I think it feels safe to say the box and its scroll are the solution there, not the diary

[distant gull]

ah

[crystal pecan]

Based on the menu there's def more scrolls, and my guess is still on the chalkboard having one
So now it's a matter of where and how

[fickle palm]

Tomorrow will be future part two's scroll will be open tho!

[crystal pecan]

I wonder if we even officially have Future Chapter 1's solution (the first scroll found)? Is that clue out there somewhere or were we supposed to wait XD

[sullen fjord]

kinda wish we could just go straight to chapter 2 for secret hunting after finishing the game once so we dont have to do all of chapter 1 again every time

[fair oriole]

probably we should have waited, but what's done it's done

[fickle palm]

Lmao

[fair oriole]

true, a lil bit like in Paradox

[crystal pecan]

No regrets on my end XD

[fickle palm]

Sorry rustylake's guys....We stubborn on the new arg game alike paradox, the white door...

[crystal pecan]

Devs: surely this will take 2 years to solve
Community: i finished this over my lunch break, can i have more please?

[unique monolith]

The scrolls that are (something)=either black or white cube probably will be hint at future 9 cube puzzle

[fickle palm]

140% True.

[crystal pecan]

That's a good point

[unique monolith]

GIVE US THE FRICKING SOUP INGRIDIENT

ah the times

[fickle palm]

I think we will find blue cube.

[calm zephyr]

Yeah and for me, everyone will have solved it while I sleep ;-;

[fair oriole]

Devs: write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!

[crystal pecan]

I had an exam during the final day of the arg lmao

[fickle palm]

Because blue cube has the power to go the past.

[crystal pecan]

Left for Amsterdam immediately after being done

[fickle palm]

Haha...

[crystal pecan]

My recommendation: please study for your exams
but also
ARGs fun

[fickle palm]

So fuun

What is next..? Hexa code?

[patent sapphire]

I'm on my interval now but my classes go from 8am to 18pm (GMT -3 here)

after that, I can try to see if is there anything written in the spectogram of the audios

[honest slate]

few classes but lots of essays

[patent sapphire]

is the stream saved? So I can see it later

[crystal pecan]

Yes, it should still be visible on their youtube channel

[lament sail]

@patent sapphire the vods are saved

[crystal pecan]

Also, that is a very long time to be in class, and I say this as a teacher

[patent sapphire]

Alright! thanks, I'll see it later

oh I haven't presented myself on the #welcome-to-rusty-lake HAHAH I'll go there and do it no

[spring owl]

most of my classes end at 7.30 pm 🥲

[patent sapphire]

we basically dunno how to have time to study and sleep as well hahah 🥲

but i'm already finishing it, just one more year

[unique monolith]

do the recording numbers have any meaning even?

[lament sail]

none that ive managed to discover.

[sullen fjord]

the scroll on the chalkboard hasnt been unlocked yet, right?

[lament sail]

Not so far.

[daring cosmos]

I hope this can help…

[lament sail]

thinking the images without stripes might be middle piueces?

a turned E, thanks!

[unique monolith]

most likely

[fickle palm]

It is kind of dizzy haha

Piece is too many...

[slate aspen]

how's this thing called in the game?

[lament sail]

I call it the slider puzzle

but I think TECHNICALLY SPEAKING

its the gas smoke discharge?

[slate aspen]

I'll take it

[lament sail]

we got thast one! but thanks 😄

that one too!

[spare oar]

aha

[magic warren]

i got this from past

[lament sail]

wowa

[spare oar]

yess

[lament sail]

thanks for sharing!

[fickle palm]

Good work. Heh. It looks forward to finishing the puzzle.

[quartz walrus]

And this…

[bitter holly]

do we think the scrolls that have numbers are related to each other hmmm

[spare oar]

Can we clear achievements so that we can find different secret scrolls?

[fickle palm]

And draw again all, it can be portrait.

I think a moment.

[grim nexus]

I doubt resetting it would lead you to a different scroll tbh

[bitter holly]

too many scrolls omg @@@@

[fickle palm]

Black and white thing covered dotted pic.

[grim nexus]

But I am not sure lol

[crystal pecan]

Clearing achievements does not appear to affect the scrolls

Hasn't had much testing, but it just doesn't seem to be the case.

[spare oar]

thx for info I almost click reset button

[fickle palm]

Game achievement = for lite user.
ARG = Hardcore user's Achievement.
Now...

If it is not, you are correct.

[grim nexus]

Ye okay just tested it and scrolls remain if you reset the achievements

[lament sail]

3x3?

[fickle palm]

Pls wait. I will take 4 scroll more today.

[crystal pecan]

[sly imp]

I am now at the chalkboard, anyone want to test any theories?

[bitter holly]

we have a 0 so probably no

[lament sail]

heck.

[fickle palm]

I did present my friend tpw yesterday. He doesn't know hidden scroll

[crystal pecan]

The doc lists which symbols show up on both the board and the scrolls(grouping content)
Try those combinations?

Also keep in mind that both the hammer and key were clickable before becoming physical items

[cinder pewter]

How many scrolls are repeated

[crystal pecan]

So the scroll should probably not be circled

[sly imp]

Okay

[crystal pecan]

Even if it can be

[lament sail]

weve seen some repeats but I dont think theyre relevant

[cinder pewter]

Or have you guys collected all of the options

[crystal pecan]

We can't be sure if we have everything

[cinder pewter]

Em

[crystal pecan]

We don't know what the max amount is

[lament sail]

ye we literally have no idea.

[grim nexus]

My take is that we definitely dont have everything yet lol

[cinder pewter]

Gonna try it in a bit

[lament sail]

well agreed.

[sly imp]

The clock also shows up

[sly imp]

But is not on the doc

[fickle palm]

I think rustylake will be open missing piece later. We just can be fill irlt.

[crystal pecan]

@sly imp

[radiant crane]

Not sure if that one has shown up, already

[lament sail]

Huh

well well well

[crystal pecan]

That's the 5posing owl from Collection

tposing

[bitter holly]

not the t pose

[crystal pecan]

Yes it is

[sly imp]

Yea i saw, but the clock is also a symbol on the blackboard that shows up as one of the hints

[crystal pecan]

We were looking at these images earlier in dms ^

Quite a few are a 100% match, like Mill Harvey

[bitter holly]

if we're really getting scrolls from every single achievement in cec omg

[crystal pecan]

Could be just art, but Collection had its own strange symbols too

[crystal pecan]

Probably not?

[unique monolith]

holy shit t-posing Owl

[hallow acorn]

Good morning peeps
Any progress?

[crystal pecan]

New scroll

[bitter holly]

new place to find scrolls

[crystal pecan]

We've kept the document up to date

[tranquil forge]

got a new one, just added it, woo i can contribute

[crystal pecan]

Also, the Secrets Thread has been replaced by this channel. You can find the thread by clicking on the link in the pinned comment. Otherwise it's hidden

[lament sail]

(pleae dont open the thread again if you're a mod and able to do so)

[unique monolith]

yeah sure put the whole fricking puzzle panel into cube, that will work

[tranquil forge]

that panel is in future chapter 2, right?

Gonna go mess with it

[crystal pecan]

I like the earlier suggestion that the black/white cube is indicating whether or not a button needs to be pressed

[tranquil forge]

thats what i was thinking

[crystal pecan]

We still have too many symbols for a 3x3, but that's currently my rough guess for where it's headed

[bitter holly]

we need more 9-symbol scrolls then we only have 2 😭

[lament sail]

eh the ones with the lines could indicate 3x3 puzzles.

but that grouping will be difficult

[crystal pecan]

hmm

Okay so say

An example, with easy math (not the actual numbers)
We have 18 symbols with lines on the side
We want to turn that into 2 3x3 grids so we can apply the box pressing
We get a hint that groups together 9 random symbols
And then it's up to us to line them up correctly and apply that to the 3x3 grid

I could see this happening

[lament sail]

this eye sorta resembles the ones in Samsara room

[crystal pecan]

That way, it doesn't matter if we have 9 18 27 36 symbols whatever

We just need the hint on how to sort them and we're golden

[lament sail]

I currently have em sorted by future or past but like

obviously thats not flying for all of these symbols haha.

[grim nexus]

In case symbols belong to different 3x3 grids the line would be very confusing

[bitter holly]

oh yeah there're also ones which have no lines

[lament sail]

those would be middle pieces.

[bitter holly]

maybe they're in the center?

[sly imp]

We already got 2 hints that groups together 9 random symbols

[bitter holly]

yeah

[ocean arrow]

how are you guys getting the scrolls?

[crystal pecan]

It wouldnt, if we knew which ones belonged together. At that point it becomes a 9 piece puzzle, which is incredibly easy

[lament sail]

@ocean arrow puzzle solutions used in game

I have them detailed in the document

[ocean arrow]

ok, thanks

[bitter holly]

we need more corners ones then

[crystal pecan]

Wrong Reply btw XD

[bitter holly]

well

[spring owl]

I looked at the spectrogram of today's live, it doesn't look like there's anything

[crystal pecan]

There's plenty we're still missing so far, so it's hard to come up with concrete theories

[lament sail]

ay thanks for checking

[crystal pecan]

Thanks for checking!

[grim nexus]

||Future - chapter 1 - set a year of Albert’s birth (1867) - get to slider’s puzzle, set it to 2,4,4||

You’ll get one scroll

[grim nexus]

||Past - chapter 1 - solve the 9 buttons box in any of the modes - head to the symbols box - set it as thermometer, S, upside down cross, saloon doors||

You’ll get another one

[ocean arrow]

tbh didn't expect this game to have that many secrets

and also I couldnt explore that much since I was dependent of my friend (we wanted to explore everything together)

[grim nexus]

It’s fair haha

[fair oriole]

guys i'm at the diary part, someone wanna try anything?

[lament sail]

There's nothing indicating a diary solution for now.

[ocean arrow]

I think taht is actually

[fair oriole]

the 4 squares?

[ocean arrow]

didnt the live show something related to that?

[lament sail]

they were used to open the coal box.

[ocean arrow]

still I think its worth a shot

[fair oriole]

probably is

[unique monolith]

so far there's up to 5 variation of each side

[lament sail]

that could be indicating 4 3x3 grids.

[calm zephyr]

Interesting that the ones with lines on top are mostly birds

Arguably music is related to birds too?

[lament sail]

Ye

[fast portal]

what is the 9 button puzzle?'

[lament sail]

Could be the device in chapter 2 of the future

or the tiny wooden box at the start of the game

[calm zephyr]

Maybe just a coincidence, do the others seem to have similar themes?

[lament sail]

Id argue one of them is at least future themed

the key hammer and fan shape

but maybe there's ffour grids we ened to complete

[rocky epoch]

were there anything hidden at the end of first stream?

[fair oriole]

nothing

[lament sail]

Past Chap 1 Past Chap 2 Future Chap 1 Future chap 2

[ocean arrow]

sad

[bitter holly]

the numbers and letters are kinda throwing me off tho if this is true

[lament sail]

Im inclined to agree.

but alas

[ocean arrow]

I mean, there are two bottom left corners, so it could be two separate squares themed as past and future, right?

[calm zephyr]

It seems indicative of such, but nothing concrete yet

[ocean arrow]

idk if someone already said that

[lament sail]

ur right

and I agree with that

[tranquil forge]

do we ever use the big red button in chapter one of future

[lament sail]

yes it pops off to reveal the surge lever

[tranquil forge]

Ah, right

[errant pike]

Don’t know if someone found this

[calm zephyr]

The E and W for East and West?

[lament sail]

maybe.. but why is the E turned aorund

'thanks @errant pike !

[ocean arrow]

also W is at the bottom

wait, there is a normal E and a E rotated by 90°?

[lament sail]

Yep.

[calm zephyr]

Oh boy

[daring cosmos]

maybe it's related to this one?

[ocean arrow]

great

[errant pike]

I got this one from the wooden box in the past, with the books from the cabin

[calm zephyr]

You think there's significance to the coffin being 'upside-down'?

[livid haven]

I found another one part

[calm zephyr]

Ooh

[ocean arrow]

that is intersting

[lament sail]

plant!

[honest slate]

now 6 for left side??

[ocean arrow]

I can't recall the last time a plant appeared asides from roots when ||Emma gets pregnant||

[lament sail]

im inclined to agree.

[slate aspen]

I can't imagine roots being useful here

[ocean arrow]

which now that I noticed is the only level in roots that ||has a bee in it so maybe we are into something||

but I think I am overthinking it

[slate aspen]

not the only. The bee is in TPW only because Albert was hurt by them

[lament sail]

m honestly unsure if this is an O or a 0

[slate aspen]

looks like O to me

[ocean arrow]

I think its an O

[lament sail]

but if its a 0 we might be looking for a numbers 3x3 grid.

[sly imp]

In the q and a something was said about elements of roots returning

[lament sail]

Ye okay

[honest slate]

i think it is O

[lament sail]

thats what my gut was telling me

but lmao I figured id share wit hthe class

[fair oriole]

did the symbols on the chalkboard did anything?

[slate aspen]

the insects, the slides, agree.

But how on Earth are you going to get hints from the game updated last time years ago?

[ocean arrow]

If my theory of two squares is correct I don't think it would be a 3x3 since it have way to many left walls

[fair oriole]

Time travel with the blue cube, duh

[sly imp]

If it's an o, it could still be a compass

[errant pike]

If the bee in roots is something, maybe the butterfly in paradise is something?

[sly imp]

If it's in the middle

[lament sail]

flipping the grid wit hthe E in it to match the loose E we have

[calm zephyr]

They'd either planned it or just so happen to turn pre existing things into clues for their new game to make it extra spicy, so it is doable

[ocean arrow]

also what is the one top right symbol? I cant recognize it

[tranquil forge]

damn, no combination on the 9-button cube at the very beginning of future 2 works

couldnt be that easy of course

[calm zephyr]

Top row, right-most?
A key

[ocean arrow]

I meant this one

[calm zephyr]

Ah, sorry

Broken vase?

[lament sail]

yep

[ocean arrow]

ok, thanks

[unique monolith]

wake up sweetie, new scroll image just dropped

[lament sail]

weed

[ocean arrow]

come on

weed is canon in rusty lake universe everybody

lets go

but for real, what is that

[lament sail]

Dunno

a leaf?

[ocean arrow]

just another plant?

yeah

maybe

[calm zephyr]

Honestly, the entire story being a trip makes sense

[lament sail]

LMAO

[ocean arrow]

like the vanderboon story?

makes a lot of sense

[calm zephyr]

Yeah

Sometimes I think I'M tripping piecing it all together

[harsh raptor]

Hmm... It's a theory but maybe there were some secrets in demo?

[tidal sail]

Thats not weed, because if you do weed you're not a square

[lament sail]

there are secrets n the demo, but im unsure if theres new secrets in there.

[honest gulch]

So godarn true

[twin light]

I found some scroll images that aren’t in the doc:

[lament sail]

ayy

cool

[sly imp]

Yooo

[lament sail]

out of curiosity where are you 'finding' these

[tranquil forge]

another 3x3

[lament sail]

are these yours? are there other communities looking?

[twin light]

Apparently the two scrolls we’ve already found each display different messages for each player

[lament sail]

yep taht is correct.

[twin light]

I found these on my iPad and iPhone

One for each

[lament sail]

just saying that so far my 3x3 grid of numbers is still on lmao

which owuld mess with htis.. but yknow

[tranquil forge]

tempted to buy the game on my phone for more possible scrolls

[lament sail]

https://tenor.com/view/bugs-bunny-looney-tunes-cash-money-counting-money-gif-17544086

MFW RL is selling copies just for scrolls

[calm zephyr]

2= white square,
Compared to the black squares for the other numbers

[lament sail]

(respectable business approach)

[tranquil forge]

if it was any company but this one id be upset about it but im happy to support RL

[calm zephyr]

Fr

[errant pike]

The nine grid thingy is for the first box in the past right?

[lament sail]

or the big machine in future chap2

im currently inclined to go for the box in the past

but I dunno lol

[errant pike]

Would make sense, seeing as they pop up and down and there are black and white cubes

[twin light]

Yeah, the big grid I found was from the past, and the smaller message was from the future

Oh, you mean the 3x3 grids? That makes a lot of sense

[errant pike]

Could scrolls lead to more scrolls?

[twin light]

Who knows

[lament sail]

we know that there is a scroll depicted on the chalkboard

but we havent been able to grab it

[snow sky]

Hello does anyone know how to get secret scrolls?

[unique monolith]

watch pins

[stray thistle]

Keypad?

[lament sail]

theres no keypad with a 0 on it

but the consesus here seems to be that the 0 might be an O.

theyre hard to keep seperated.

[stray thistle]

I could still talk there?

[lament sail]

that shouldn't b the case lol

[cinder pewter]

I got a scroll and it doesnt seem to be discovered

also

I think there are 2 sets in total to matching the scrolls from what we have

[lament sail]

Okay well how bout u share it

LMAO

[cinder pewter]

😤

[cinder pewter]

I mean it appeared

in the document

one of the 9

but not individually

[lament sail]

is there a reason you're being vague and not just dropping a screen- ah there we go thanks

[cinder pewter]

this is the future scroll

[stray thistle]

What if we look for the font

[cinder pewter]

now let me go to the new past scroll

[lament sail]

Not the worst called

[stray thistle]

Can i try sending something there?

[lament sail]

Yes I dont seee why not?

[stray thistle]

Didn't send

[lament sail]

huh what

are you trying to DM someone something?

[stray thistle]

No i just tried to send a message in the thread

[lament sail]

ah so you cant message in the thread:)

good.

[stray thistle]

I guess that's what happens if you lock a thread

[lament sail]

weird though.

but w/e

[stray thistle]

Although it would be better to just disable the message bar??

[lament sail]

ye that's not in my power to do

im surprised discord doesnt do that lol

[stray thistle]

Yeah

[floral charm]

Dropping this here as well

[lament sail]

thank you Efadd

[floral charm]

Np, and I checked the doc and it is unique

Future scroll, I don't know how to access ths past one yet

[lament sail]

hehe cow

[cinder pewter]

Damy, somehow this one also appeared in the past scroll section of ur document, u sure its right?

[lament sail]

if you want the solution itll b in the doc too!

I put it in the future

[floral charm]

Lemme get the Steam scroll

[lament sail]

maybe someone else pasted it in past.

I think we should communally agree to ignore any potential duplicates in there.

just bc theres so many lmaoo

[floral charm]

Agreed

[floral charm]

Full solution?

[cinder pewter]

I know, I saw u putting it, its just there is another one below at the past section

unless someone else also got it

[lament sail]

uh ye to the past scroll

[cinder pewter]

in the past

[floral charm]

Ah

[cinder pewter]

Anyway, here is my past scroll

[lament sail]

O my god

[trail sinew]

great

[lament sail]

shapes are fake

ALL IS CUBE

[stray thistle]

Circle 🤔

[crystal pecan]

Egg?

[trail sinew]

[stray thistle]

No the eggs are distinct

[lament sail]

[lean jackal]

[trail sinew]

I was reading this whole mess there

and man, i hope we can find all of those scrolls

[stray thistle]

There's over 500 messages here now

[crystal pecan]

[lament sail]

and isnt that gr8

banning u for breaking the politics rule

[crystal pecan]

Can't if I ban you first

[errant pike]

Another one

[trail sinew]

half moon

[lament sail]

MOON

[trail sinew]

lets go

[floral charm]

Future, Steam copy

[lament sail]

mayhbe the circle is full moon?

JANDS

[trail sinew]

MIGHT BE

[lament sail]

@errant pike past or future?

[stray thistle]

They probably made a lot of scrolls just so it takes us time to figure it out

[crystal pecan]

THe moon's on the chalkboard...

[errant pike]

Both of mine were past, two different devices

[lament sail]

thank you

[errant pike]

How do you get the future scroll

[trail sinew]

Yeah but how much is there. Like now there's around many

[lament sail]

hey uh

did someone mess with the doc?

I see a bunch of copies

[floral charm]

Doc in pins, year 1867 at the start

[hallow acorn]

Starting my cubical device pc to pick the other scroll

[cinder pewter]

I see some distortions there

[floral charm]

I just posted 1 screenshot, thought it duplicated, and deleted one

[lament sail]

no actually

[trail sinew]

someone really like corrupted soul

[cinder pewter]

now its normal

[hallow acorn]

Time to go back to nolifeness

[lament sail]

I will shut down this document if y'all cant behave.

[slate aspen]

the key is the future?

[cinder pewter]

yea

[cinder pewter]

now ur line is kinda philosophical

[stray thistle]

Lol

"My memories are the key not only to the past but also the future"

Didn't Caroline's soul say that?

[formal halo]

Gotta play with myself to hunt those last achievements

I should start hunting for scroll too

[trail sinew]

I tough that maybe there's two sets for two cubes but now I's complicated bc of this O in a white cube

[lament sail]

[hallow acorn]

Past scroll of mine

[lean jackal]

Future

[trail sinew]

SOMETHING NEW

[lament sail]

that clock is new

[floral charm]

Past, Android bee

[stray thistle]

Why are symbols and lines repeating???

[lament sail]

we have that past one.

[trail sinew]

Do we?

[lament sail]

WAIT NO

WE DONT

[hallow acorn]

And somebody mentioned the placement of scrolls in the menu... this not being symetrical is bugging me

[crystal pecan]

A third clock, but with a different face...

[trail sinew]

We have a leaf with a cube

and now with a line

[crystal pecan]

The menu seems to imply multiple scrolls, and we might've skipped ahead with the future one

[cinder pewter]

welp the document is gonna be messy

[floral charm]

Or the past

[floral charm]

Yeeep

[crystal pecan]

Nah, the past one was from this livestream today

[trail sinew]

it is messy now

[errant pike]

Future

[lament sail]

O frick
