Google Translate isn't a good translator

tawdry fulcrum
#

i haven't translated a whole text yet
sooooo i don't use an app

sly pelican
#

Well, I can speak English but speaking and writing are different.

#

General part of the language isn't always enough to write a story, you know.

#

I mean, I don't know much of the verbs.

tawdry fulcrum
#

i am better at writing than speaking ._.

vague imp
#

Dutch is better.

sly pelican
#

Dutch is better than..?

#

English?

tawdry fulcrum
#

Dutch is a funny language :D

#

somehow i can understand many of it xD

cold siren
#

Guys, I was just reading about the samsara wheel and in the theater game it makes really obvious that the game is about it (there are six paths on the samsara wheel and mr owl says exactly that)

tawdry fulcrum
#

whats a samsara wheel?

cold siren
#

Also, there's one path called naraka, where the person cleanses his karma... maybe thats what dale is going through! Because he cleanses the black cubes into white cubes, and its pretty obvious that the black cubes are negative karma

#

Maybe he's the one that killed the lady in the lake

tawdry fulcrum
#

i don't think he has killed the woman
he is the dedektiv in her case

cold siren
#

Samsara wheel is a buddhist belief that there are 6 paths in the afterlife

tawdry fulcrum
#

ah, ok

cold siren
#

He's the detective, but also he doesnt remember much

gritty arrow
#

But did Laura kill herself or was she murdered?

cold siren
#

So maybe he's dead too and the lake is the naraka path, where he is cleaning his karma to reincarnate

tawdry fulcrum
#

but iirc he forget his memories while he gets in the elevator

cold siren
#

I think laura was murdered, but I dont remember exactly

tawdry fulcrum
#

iirc she was stabed in the back

gritty arrow
#

I don't think they revealed it yet tho right?

tawdry fulcrum
#

we see her got stabed

cold siren
#

Yeah, but by who?

#

It doesnt show

gritty arrow
#

I remember in seasons, they imply the Laura takes a medicine called Prozac which is for depression so maybe she did kill herself? Or maybe it's a mix of both?

cold siren
#

But on theater you see her throat getting cut too

gritty arrow
#

I think it's all philosophical and less literal than that

cold siren
#

Just like you see on case 23

gritty arrow
#

Getting cut in the throats and stabbed in the back can be symbolic of things

cold siren
#

But she falls on the floor like on case 23

#

And the theater is "the theater of your mind"

gritty arrow
#

That could be a significant clue as to her mental struggles

tawdry fulcrum
#

but if she has murderd herself the investigations in her case wouldn't be that long as it is

gritty arrow
#

I think the reason it's long because it's a diffficult case in general

tawdry fulcrum
#

and Dale would have find clues leading hime to this curch

gritty arrow
#

The tv says "murder or suicide"

#

And the note in seasons say "I think I might do something terrible"

tawdry fulcrum
#

that is normal, if the case is unclear for a longer time

gritty arrow
#

Exactly. It's a hard case

tawdry fulcrum
#

yeah, but this note is in the time as Laura killed Harvey, the parrot

gritty arrow
#

For some reason I don't think she was referencing killing Harvey, I think that was a spontaneous desicion

#

Writing a note means planning and suicide includes planning

tawdry fulcrum
#

she had only a feeling

#

"I think I might"

#

and the outher notes also referenc spontane actions

gritty arrow
#

How?

#

"Can you boil havrveys eggs" that's planned

#

She's been thinking about it for a while

tawdry fulcrum
#

oh right, so nvm

vague imp
#

most of suicidal people dont think about their own suicide as "doing something terrible" so i think that was a reference to killing harvey or just a random thought

gritty arrow
#

I disagree with that

#

I was suicidal and I know many suicidal people because I was put in a psychiatric hospital

#

Many suicidal people view it as something terrible

vague imp
#

i was there too tho

#

depends on person i guess

gritty arrow
#

It depends on experience

tawdry fulcrum
#

so when yoi think it is terrible, why you want to to that?

vague imp
#

but people i knew thought about it as if its a way to make everyones lifes easier

gritty arrow
#

Because it's a symptom of psychiatric illness

#

We saw it as a symptom

tawdry fulcrum
#

yeah, but if you want to kill you, why do you think it is terrible?

vague imp
#

idk lmao i dont

gritty arrow
#

As I told you it's a symptom

vague imp
#

like yeah ill die, less of a burden to everyone

tawdry fulcrum
#

wanting to die is a symptom
but feeling terrible of doing it?

vague imp
#

there are different types of depression tho

gritty arrow
#

Lol we don't feel terrible but we agree that's it terrible

cold siren
#

Description of each cube on the cave game

tawdry fulcrum
#

but the note says "I think I might do something terrible" so she thing it ist terrible, too

night forge
#

I won't allow myself to go on here untill I have finished all the games.

cold siren
#

Its better

#

Because I was looking through the internet and found out that laura is the reincarnation of william, brother of aldous

tawdry fulcrum
#

why that?

cold siren
#

I dont know, the internet said that lol

#

Its on the wikia

#

But theres not much explanation

tawdry fulcrum
#

so a just theory....

cold siren
#

Its on the end of the cave game

#

When william dies, becoming a corrupted soul and then reincarnates as her

#

I will finish the game to tell you better

vague imp
#

It's also in roots, isn't it?

tawdry fulcrum
#

Cave ends with extracting Dales and Lauras memories in a golden cube

cold siren
#

I just saw what happens

#

It clearly showed william drinking the elixir, dying, becoming a corrupted soul, becoming a tree, and then becoming laura

#

Thats a fact

#

Also, mr crow is aldous

tawdry fulcrum
#

yes, the woman (a forgot her name) has a baby, but it was never said, that this is Laura

cold siren
#

Its on the cave as an animation

#

I will find a walkthrough of that part

tawdry fulcrum
cold siren
tawdry fulcrum
#

william isn't there

cold siren
#

Its on 2:55 mark

#

Duuude, watch it

tawdry fulcrum
#

oh this

#

sorry, i didn't remeber that part of the game

cold siren
#

I didnt too, but its weird as its a pretty big deal

tawdry fulcrum
#

but i wont interpret this as a recarnation. i think this show us, that out of williams familie (that's what the tree stands for) cames Laura

#

so the only thing that this part is showing us is, that Laura is a descandant of William

#

but the only one who knew yet are the developers...

cold siren
#

Yeah, but that she is a vanderboom we already knew, but why he became her right away instead of going through the whole tree

#

?

#

Also, reincarnation is one "stage" of every path on the samsara wheel

tawdry fulcrum
#

what? he first became a tree, than he became Laura

cold siren
#

And as they say on the games and on the real samsara wheel is that enlightment is the only way to break the cycle

#

Well, but if thats the case, that animation showed nothing realky

#

Really

#

Also, he becomes a corrupted soul before and so did she after

#

Meaning its the same soul, imo

tawdry fulcrum
#

that could be possible 🤔

sly pelican
#

The theory Dale killed Laura can be true. It makes sense to me.

cold siren
#

The reborn mind

tawdry fulcrum
#

hey @dim edge
can you deny or confirm one of those theorys? xD

cold siren
#

I think it cant be more obvious now 😂

tawdry fulcrum
#

oh, maybe you are right xD

sly pelican
#

They wouldn't talk anything about the game except the anouncments they already had.

cold siren
#

When they created this discord, they said they would make a few q&a sessions

sly pelican
#

Oh

tawdry fulcrum
#

maybe it is worth to try

cold siren
#

I think they will make before the next release

tawdry fulcrum
#

i mean, what negative should happen?

#

i hope so :D

placid tulip
#

She truly committed suicide I guess...

cold siren
#

But if thats true, why does dale, a detective, is going through all the story?

#

If you replay the cave, it makes more sense he murdered her than just an unfortunate guy

#

The cave and theater

rich yacht
#

Maybe it has something to do with Dale's past in Birthday, i mean mr owl helped him save his family

#

Rusty Lake, 1972

The Lake is changing my memories.

My past is not what it seems to be.

I will let the cubes guide me.

-Cube Escape Theatre

#

I am not sure what Dale's motive would be if he really killed her. In Season we know she died after visited the lake, and in lake we know that she was attacked by a corruoted soul

#

(there is one of my theory about the alternate ending in the Lake. The alternate ending is that we save Laura from the corrupted soul (which i think, the possible reason for her suicide) and that would result her to not commot suicide later in Season. But the way for us to be able to do so is playing Season first. What if the point of Season is sending us to the past (with the safe code) and saving Laura? Is it really Laura that we played in Season? I mean it could be Dale since we know in cave he is corrupted (wait a sec it also mean Dale could be kill her, aw this theory is self destruct itself lol)) hmm i have no idea what i was writing

sly pelican
#

Well, we aren't Laura in seasons, I guess. Do you remember when the time we opened the mirror of the grandfather clock, our shadow was an corrupted soul. So, I guess we play as an corrupted soul. In most of the stories about the time travelling, there can be things like "Detective searches for the murderer of the victim but he is the actual murderer". I also wonder about where did Dale go? I mean, he got the cube of future(Golden Cube) in the depths of the Lake. Maybe in the journey to the past, the golden cube helps him to go present. And his story becomes a time circle, repeats itself.

#

Maybe he somehow killed Laura by the help of the Blue Cube and went back to the present with the golden cube.

feral iron
#

Wow,guys

#

We play as a Laura at seasons

#

You play as:women

sly pelican
#

But the thing that Laura used Prozac and Prozac makes people commit suicide. That also can be the mystery behind the death of her. Cause Laura and his boyfriend Bob knew that Laura was going to kill herself. Maybe her mind was twisted, she wasn't sure enough to kill herself and then, by the help of Mr. Owl and Mr. Crow, Dale or a corrupted soul killed her. But what does Laura's death do for Mr. Owl or Mr. Crow? Laura is a high consciousness owner mind, is the highest state of entity. Maybe her death will release a power which is equal to bring back William and his memories. The most important thing for Mr. Owl is the secret recipe of the elixir of Endless Life and Sudden Death.

#

When Laura killed herself, they looked at her memories if they could find a memory of William's.

#

Just as Desiderius Erasmus said: "Women, can't live with them, can't live without them."

placid tulip
#

I think differently...
I mean, it seems that the Woman's suicide was just a set up mysterious murder, which acted as a bait to lure Dale to Rusty Lake, to their reach, to their purpose... Which is why he ends up down the lake, and currently on the elevator rise upward to the hotel...
About Laura, I did think she had committed suicide. First, that was the superiors' plan from the start, when William died in 1859. Second, (have you guys player Rusty Lake: Roots yet?) the reincarnation created an entire new host for William's soul, yet the "host" turned out to be Laura, who has her own mind and soul. Two souls within one body, with the Prozac drugs kicked in, resulted in madness, suicide is the predictable consequence.
......

vague imp
#

"PROZAC MAKES PEOPLE COMMIT SUICIDE" DUUUUDE

#

this couldnt be any future from the truth

#

prozac is an anti-depressant drug, i use a similar one.
it doesnt make you commit suicide, it doesnt alter your mind and so on, it only helps you to live on

#

what can go downhill is withdrawal syndrom (when you suddenly stop taking your meds)

#

Maybe she did go into withdrawal i mean you know

#

we never saw her taking it ever.

#

yes, might be the case

#

...

#

i thought that was a pun at first.

#

I didnt even notice oml

#

Tbh personal opnion but i always thought Bob was the womans "killer" and no i dont mean he literally killed her.Maybe you know like he couldnt help her live through her depression and he blamed himself?Ik it sounds dumb af but maybe?

placid tulip
tawdry fulcrum
#

With the picture of someone with a knife in #🩸|general-chat ....
Isn't that a proof Laura didn't killed herself?

placid tulip
#

I have no idea
Logic doesn't apply in this universe.... 😂

rich yacht
#

Well remember in the end that the reflection in clock is a corrupted soul which is Laura herself

placid tulip
#

About the one outside the window, that can't be sure yet

rich yacht
#

Maybe the corrupted soul that appeared that look like trying to kill Laura are not a physical being, instead just a though, a thought of herself killing herself that haunt her

placid tulip
#

The one within the room and saw that black guy with the knife, yeah, indeed was Laura

tawdry fulcrum
#

Or maybe there are two corrupted souls...

placid tulip
#

😱

rich yacht
#

👻

placid tulip
#

dramatic music plays

rich yacht
#

Okay i got another theory

small shadow
#

So many theories 😄

rich yacht
#

So in Season we see Laura outside the house..

placid tulip
#

Always?

rich yacht
#

Who are we if Laura is outside....

tawdry fulcrum
#

We are Laura

#

We see her when we looked in the mirror

#

And also the timeline confirms it

rich yacht
#

There are... Two Laura?

vague imp
#

doubt it

placid tulip
rich yacht
#

Yeah i remmeber that mirror

vague imp
#

as someone said, i think those are thoughts which haunt her

tawdry fulcrum
#

I think it's the person who had killed her

rich yacht
#

But in very first Season, we saw Laura IS outside the house

tawdry fulcrum
#

It's not confirmed, that she killed herself

vague imp
#

sometimes people with major depression also have delusions

placid tulip
#

5?

vague imp
#

sorry that was my cat

placid tulip
#

Huh?!?

rich yacht
#

And there is one video on Cave when she stabbed herself

vague imp
#

i was typing and

tawdry fulcrum
#

There is?

rich yacht
#

And the corrupted soul appear 👻

vague imp
#

she sat on my keyboard

placid tulip
#

She cut her own throat...
"Stab" is kinda misleading 😅

rich yacht
#

When we picked the black cube under the lake

#

Ups sorry

#

summon the screenshot please

#

I think my biggest question is, What is Rusty Lake Mental Health & Fishing... I mean Laura commit suicide after went there

vague imp
#

same as rusty lake hotel probably

tawdry fulcrum
#

As i said befor, it is not confirmed, that she had killed herself

rich yacht
#

Yeah that Hotel too

#

Hotel that in middle of lake sounds cool until you vistted it -The Guests, probably

vague imp
#

dont think anyone has a complain tho 🤔

#

i mean, they are dead

rich yacht
#

I think that hotel is really good that there is no complain

#

I am sure the new game will be has the biggest place to explore if we include exploring the hotel

rich yacht
#

What if that one Laura in outside is also just a thought (idk, maybe she want to be outside (this is isn't called Cube Escape for nothing)) that later turned into corrupted soul to haunt her with suicide thought, okay it is scary to let your thought haunt you in a form of delusion

#

(why this game is called Cube Escape... What are we escaping from?)

vague imp
#

kinda makes sense to me actually?

#

did she see anything outside of the window in spring btw? bc i might be wrong

#

if im right then this is how we see lauras mental health issues escalate: first she only sees herself in a window, seemingly nothing much, something you might even brush off

#

but if you ignore it, this all starts going down and slowly it all becomes scary, something similar to a corrupted soul or even something that might corrupt your soul

#

but if im wrong then im wrong idk

rich yacht
#

I think she just standing there

vague imp
#

or or

#

For the part where she is outside we play as Bob and then after spring we play as Laura?

#

maybe?

rich yacht
#

But the timeline above show us we played as Laura

vague imp
#

oh right nevermind then.

#

Well maybe she went back to the past

#

so the one outside is her past self?

#

if that makes any sense.

#

normally I'd say it doesn't

rich yacht
#

time loops is on it again

vague imp
#

but time is fake in this game

rich yacht
#

The last season in Season happened pretty far, i think it is couple years

#

Maybe...

sly pelican
#

Yeah, the last season in Seasons was so futuristic.

rich yacht
#

We still play as Laura in last season, but she is dead

#

Then how?

#

Could be Dale

vague imp
#

is she dead tho

rich yacht
#

is corrupted soul are really dead people tho or just random people cosplaying

sly pelican
#

As I told you, I don't think we're playing Laura in seasons. Yeah, the newspaper call her "the woman" but she may not the only woman in the game.

strong nova
#

what if seasons is just a dream or a fight against her inner Demons in her head and the last season is the wake up or the win?

tawdry fulcrum
#

as i said twice, it is confirmed, that we played Laura

vague imp
#

but its The woman

sly pelican
#

Maybe player can be corrupted Laura, but wtf Corrupted Williams does at the moment?

vague imp
#

one specific woman you already know, which is Laura

rich yacht
#

Today in Rusty Lake : Is the woman we always thought is that woman

sly pelican
#

Lol

vague imp
#

is the woman The Woman

rich yacht
#

William alreadh become laura so...

#

*already

tawdry fulcrum
#

it would be much easier, if rusty lake will say something

vague imp
#

it might be a spoiler

rich yacht
#

Rusty Lake is probably watching us and giggling at any of our theory

vague imp
#

I dont think they will give us a answer..XD

tawdry fulcrum
#

doesnt matter if they dement or confirm something xD

sly pelican
#

I do not remember but, anyone of you remember the mirror of William in episode Communication?

rich yacht
#

KILL

#

Or maybe something

sly pelican
#

I mean, in the mirror, was it like William, or a general corrupted soul?

placid tulip
#

It was William, for sure

rich yacht
#

We played as Wilkiam..

tawdry fulcrum
#

in wich game?

rich yacht
#

William...

vague imp
#

Roots.

sly pelican
#

It's looking was like william's, right?

#

So the people who are corrupted 'corrupts' with their current bodies.

placid tulip
#

Of course, there maybe two corrupted souls in Seasons

tawdry fulcrum
#

i should play it a second time ._.

placid tulip
#

One is Laura herself, one is William

rich yacht
#

But Laura = William

sly pelican
#

But there is one more guy, the fishman

tawdry fulcrum
#

that not confirmed, too

sly pelican
#

In the Lake, you remember we cut his lungs.

tawdry fulcrum
#

yeah

sly pelican
#

He wasn't completely corrupted I guess

placid tulip
#

We are never sure that Laura is William

rich yacht
#

slowly stepback and escape

sly pelican
#

And weren't we playing Laura in seasons?

#

Actually, we are.

tawdry fulcrum
#

yup

placid tulip
#

Perhaps William is living like a parasite in Laura

vague imp
#

Yeah possibly.

placid tulip
#

I hate Enter button on PC Discord....

#

😦

sly pelican
#

Rose says: "My child come back to the Rusty Lake." In roots and in Cave, the book says "Rebirth of William" for Laura

vague imp
#

my theory: shit is wild, man

sly pelican
#

Someone claimed 2 souls, 1 body theory

rich yacht
#

I use discord in phone

sly pelican
#

That might be true.

placid tulip
#

I claimed that T.T

sly pelican
#

Real William Vanderboom wasn't directly a human.

#

Yeah, namhai

#

That's a good idea.

#

Just as you told, William was tree, first.

#

Somehow he united with Rose

#

And you know

#

There appeared a child.

#

Born*

rich yacht
#

... i got a wild picture of William becoming tree...

#

Nah nvm

placid tulip
#

Have you guys all played Rusty Lake: Roots yet?

vague imp
#

i have

sly pelican
#

I did.

vague imp
#

yeah

#

twice

rich yacht
#

Twice i think

tawdry fulcrum
#

yup

sly pelican
#

Three times, lol

rich yacht
#

So...

#

We played as Laura

sly pelican
#

So, in Cube Escape: The Lake, we played Laura, right?

rich yacht
#

Yup

tawdry fulcrum
#

yeah

sly pelican
#

So there are 3 kind of corrupted souls we already seen(except the animal people)

#

2 are the same person, William Vanderboom/Laura Vanderboom

vague imp
#

dale and bob

sly pelican
#

The third one the guy came from the lake in game Lake

rich yacht
#

Dale was half corrupted too in Cave and Theatre right?

sly pelican
#

Oh, yeah there they are

vague imp
#

and Bob.

#

oh wait

sly pelican
#

So there 5

#

There are*

vague imp
#

radium said that already i didnt notice

placid tulip
#

And the guests

vague imp
#

sorry..

#

whats the difference between animal people and corrupted souls then...

placid tulip
#

And the one outside Harvey's box

sly pelican
#

Ah yeah

placid tulip
#

They looks like animals :v

sly pelican
#

I wonder who was the guy in Harvey's box

rich yacht
#

I think the one outside the box is the one who attacked Laura in Lake

sly pelican
#

And why we got in to the Avocado

vague imp
#

yeah rusty lake devs suddenly decided they are furries, makes sense

sly pelican
#

What was the sense of that?

vague imp
#

im confused.

tawdry fulcrum
#

and why are there animal people? we know who ist Mr. Crow. but who are the others?

sly pelican
#

And how did they get that transform?

rich yacht
#

EXILIR~

sly pelican
#

Elixir, probably

rich yacht
#

They got long age tho

#

So maybe yeah

tawdry fulcrum
#

but how they get it?

digital fulcrum
#

Elixir making you lose a part of humanity?

#

Assuming you don't die of course.

rich yacht
#

~they sell it online~ no idea

sly pelican
#

Lol

rich yacht
#

Hmm but

sly pelican
#

Ever wanted to look young? Do you hate yourself? The life is meaningless? Then try the elixir of endless life or sudden death. You'll be satisfied or satisfied!

rich yacht
#

We know some scene when owl and crow become human

tawdry fulcrum
#

but can the other anime people that also?

#

like mr boar?

digital fulcrum
#

WARNING: Make sure to have a friend nearby so he can take your seed out of your ear.

#

And that sounded super wrong.

rich yacht
#

Could be~

#

Let's not forgot our lucky immortal dog

sly pelican
#

Oh, yeah

#

Good boy

tawdry fulcrum
#

who is a good boy? immortal dog is a good boy suiKnilz

vague imp
#

🐶

rich yacht
#

forgot that we give someone his piss to drink

sly pelican
#

Would you give your soul for your grandfather, guys?

vague imp
#

no

rich yacht
#

Nah

sly pelican
#

Just like Vanderboom grandchildren did.

rich yacht
#

It is their mistake for living near the lake

sly pelican
#

I would like to join Mr. Owl

#

Lol

rich yacht
#

Idk, is it just me or we missed Cube Escape : Arles. Isn't it weird that it is the only game that's almost have no any connection to the main story? Or maybe it has but not revealed yet? Or did i miss something?

strong finch
#

Well, it may indirectly reveal Rusty Lake's location: France

rich yacht
#

Well you could be right

strong finch
#

But names such as Leonard, James, Mary and Laura don't sound french

#

Perhaps they are english inmigrants

rich yacht
#

Could be right, but what would affecting the story if the lake is taking place in France

#

Or maybe it is just "Yeah that place is in France fyi"

cold siren
#

Maybe its to help solve the mystery, because he is the only "real" character, and maybe we can make parallels with his real life

#

For instance, when you cut off your ear after seeing Paul (thats what happened) you enter his ear to find an obscure version of the room where you are a black figure

#

And then you shoot yourself, giving you an white cube

#

Van gogh had depression and really shot himself

#

Maybe he freed himself from that life, and thats why you get a white cube (good)

#

And when you finish his painting, you get a black cube because he was never recognized for his paintings while alive, meaning it is a bad thing

rich yacht
#

Ooh sounds so right. We could use that game as a real life reference, when the whole game is... Well, you know

#

why is there a cat in ventilation

vague imp
#

Maybe its Dales pet?

#

he sounds more of a cat person than a dog person.

rich yacht
#

HOW COULD HE LET HIS CAT IN VENTILATION WHAT HAVE HE DONE

vague imp
#

..XD

#

well dont some police stations have like

#

mascot pets?

#

it could be either Dales pet or the police stations mascot?You know like Tama from that train station in Japan?

rich yacht
#

Yeah that cute cat, well whose ever that cat belong to is better keep their eye on it

vague imp
#

we should actually give the cat from birthday and case 23 names hmmmm

rich yacht
#

I am not really good at naming 🤔

vague imp
#

hm?...the cat from cube escape:birthday could be called.

#

Lucky?

rich yacht
#

Sounds cute for a cat that eat a whole key...

vague imp
#

well i mean Lucky because, you know he/she didnt get shot.

#

so

rich yacht
#

Oh right he is so lucky (and so does Dale)

vague imp
#

true.

#

Uhhhh and the cat from case 23...hmmm

#

Sir/Madame Meowsalot?
You know sometimes this chat is like "100% serious" one day and someday its like "Names"

rich yacht
#

And the game is about blood, and all i did is joking about the exilir that sold online

vague imp
#

nice

rich yacht
#

Well i'll just sitting in corner while waiting any theories or news about the new game to discuss about, bye bye (we could name the case 23 cat furry because he/she is furry (yes i am lazy))

vague imp
#

((true)) and sure bye bye.Also i really hope we see the Vanderbooms one day again

#

i miss them so much.

shy pecan
#

Hi everyone.

feral iron
#

Heya

dreamy shadow
#

hello!

shy pecan
#

So this is pretty cool. I've been wanting to hear what other people thought was going on in the story.

#

Because honestly, I'm a little dense when it comes to things that aren't made clear in the games.

#

Don't worry, we are talking about mr crow and mr owl secret of youth in here

shy pecan
#

Right on!

#

You suppose Harvey is like mister crow and mister owl?

rich yacht
#

Harvey got old age like the others so it could be true

#

But its real identity remains mystery

shy pecan
#

Yes, and it's tantalizing.

cold siren
#

Harvey is a parrot

#

Mr crow is aldous vanderboom

#

Mr owl is that dude inside the underwater suit in the cave

sly pelican
#

How about the old woman in mill? They look like "old man"(Mr Crow/Aldous) and old woman are married.

#

Maybe somehow Mr. Crow killed old man and got his skin as a costume.

strong finch
#

Mr. Crow may have replaced/impersonated The Old Man

#

Or he IS the old man

cold siren
#

Its aldous, not the old man

#

And he is mr crow

strong finch
#

Hecc

cold siren
#

What hecc means?

strong finch
#

Heck

#

I like to say it that way

#

HECC

cold siren
#

Oh, ok

sly pelican
#

Macumbeiro, I'm talking about Old Man. You can see the photo of Old Woman and Old Man together in Cube Escape: Mill

#

But Old Man is also Mr. Crow

strong finch
#

Yes

cold siren
#

So "Old Man" is Aldous

strong finch
#

He survived via elixir

sly pelican
#

There are 2 odds

strong finch
#

The elixir gave him Eternal Life not Eternal Youth

cold siren
#

No, replay the cave and you'll understand, Mr Crow IS Aldous

strong finch
#

So he aged till that point

sly pelican
#

The one, there was an old man and Mr. Crow did something to him(killed or something else) and used his skin as a costume(Just like in Case 23: Chapel).
The second one is there were no old man from beginning, it was always Aldous' creation. And Aldous married with Old Woman to look like normal and hide his identity.

strong finch
#

But didn't you see Mr. Crow's head appears via his neck

#

In Case 23 and Cave?

rich yacht
#

That's what he said

strong finch
#

But he emerges through his mouth

rich yacht
#

Like it is a costume

#

Mr Parrot, Mr Owl, and Mr Crow, let's call them the Bird Squad

strong finch
#

Lol

tawdry fulcrum
#

and mrs Pigeon?

strong finch
#

And Mrs.Pigeon?

#

Oh hey

rich yacht
#

(there is Ms. Pigeon but she died anyway)

tawdry fulcrum
#

is she in there too?

strong finch
#

And Ms. Pheasant?

rich yacht
#

Died too

strong finch
#

Nonono

#

They're corrupted

#

They're alive

#

More or less

rich yacht
#

~nah they were in dinner menu~

strong finch
#

But their SOULS

#

They're roaming

#

Well, Mrs. Pigeon got terminated in Harvey's Box

rich yacht
#

Their souls freaked out our soul during this game series which is kind of fuck up

#

(the cave flashback of those shadow)

strong finch
#

Yes

#

Creepy

rich yacht
#

(this is 2 am what i am doing in here)

strong finch
#

How many soul mouths have you seen?

rich yacht
#

Mouths?

strong finch
#

Souls that have mouths

rich yacht
#

Zero so far

strong finch
#

I have seen one

rich yacht
#

Or it is just my bad memories

strong finch
#

Mr. Boar in Cave

rich yacht
#

(don't show the picture bc i am gonna sleep)

strong finch
rich yacht
#

(sleep)

strong finch
#

How dare u

#

Mr. Crow shall follow you

rich yacht
#

Who is that Vanderboom who lost her son? I forgot her name

strong finch
#

crow 💨

#

Emma

#

@rich yacht ^

rich yacht
#

Time to sleep

placid tulip
#

You should seriously check the timeline though -.-
Harvey received the letter in 1891, but the Hotel incident happened in 1894...

strong finch
#

So the beam must be something else

#

Harvey returning to Hotel?

rich yacht
#

I only sleep for 3 hours because i accidentally put too many tea bag in my drink, it feels like i am dying

strong finch
#

lol

vague imp
#

how do you... accidentally do it

strong finch
#

he's him

rich yacht
#

So there is two type of tea bag in my house, one with not really high concentration (meaning one tea bag for a small glass) and the other that 1 tea bag for 4 small glass

vague imp
#

ooh i see

rich yacht
#

So i was planning to drink a big glass, and take 2 tea bag

#

But i picked the wrong one...

ebon vapor
#

i can't wait for the new game

rich yacht
#

So i was literally drink 4 big glass tea

vague imp
#

that sure is a lot

rich yacht
#

(watch the walkthrough before playing the game again so i know where those scary creatures will showed up)

#

Anyway i am a girl

vague imp
#

👌 good to know

#

Me too haha @rich yacht

#

I haven't looked at any of the walkthroughs though cuz I don't wanna spoil anything for myself

rich yacht
#

I think i have been doing it twice when playing Roots and Hotel

#

Welp, good thing there is the new hint system

kindred meteor
#

Hey, isn't Van Gogh the first recorded human to be corrupted?

#

What if he's Harvey?

rich yacht
#

I don't really remember people from Bird Squad ever been corrupted

kindred meteor
#

And he's helping Dale to undo the timeline...

#

I think rusty lake is going to restart at the end

rich yacht
#

Undo the timeline?

kindred meteor
#

That's why its never the past

vague imp
#

but isnt harvey a female bird?

#

bc yknow. eggs

#

^

rich yacht
#

(idk how scary harvey could be that her egg containt a black cube)

#

And also didn't van gogh shot himself?

#

Animal Squad almost never seen dying before

sly pelican
#

The beam happened cause Corrupted Souls, somehow, escaped from their cages and tried to kill Harvey. But Harvey, somehow, escaped from them. Or maybe they killed Harvey and that caused Harvey to transform their bird form.

rich yacht
#

*before transforming into animal people

cold siren
#

I dont believe harvey is one of them

rich yacht
#

Well harvey is almost everywhere and helping us with the game, but we never know her real motives

#

(why she was in hotel anyway...)

shy pecan
#

It seemed so important for Harvey to be there at the hotel. Everything they do seems purposeful, even the guests.

#

So I think there is a good reason for her to be there, but what is it?

#

But, weird idea, what if mister crow is like Merlin and experienced time in reverse?

rich yacht
#

🤔

tawdry fulcrum
#

Uh, i might have found something after playing Theater again...

rich yacht
#

You better share with us or mr crow will chase you

tawdry fulcrum
#

Remeber Mr owls human form from cave?

rich yacht
#

Yeap

#

Oh

#

Okay thanks

cold siren
#

Yeah, he is there

tawdry fulcrum
#

We cant see the whole face of the man with the owl mask, But they are very similar

#

Is similar the right word? 🤔

rich yacht
#

Yeah if i remember correctly they are bald

cold siren
#

They are probably the same person as we know mr owl and mr crow are working together on dale and laura's fate, as one of his line on the cave was "dale's journey is about to begin"

#

Also they mention they are the key to the full elixir

rich yacht
#

(dying to wait next cube escape game)

tawdry fulcrum
#

I have found another thing, but my internet connection don't allow me to send pictures

#

So you have to wait until school ends and i am back home

#

Sorry for that ._.

cold siren
#

Describe it please

#

Its 3:40 in the morning here

tawdry fulcrum
#

Just one word: postcard

cold siren
#

From the theater? Or birthday?

tawdry fulcrum
#

Here it is 8:40 am .-.

#

Theater

rich yacht
#

1 pm here

cold siren
#

Well, we know that he is the same guy that was hold suspect for laura's murder/suicide

#

And they actually knew each other

shy pecan
#

Bob is a cop killer

cold siren
#

He maybe the one who killed laura or he feels guilty for letting her going to the lake and die

rich yacht
#

And probably the first guy to be corrupted while alive

shy pecan
#

Has anyone ever left Rusty Lake?

rich yacht
#

nobody ever left the lake

shy pecan
#

It's weird isn't it?

#

People arrive and tend to finish their lives there?

rich yacht
#

Mental health

#

& fishing

#

More sounds like "have mental health problem? Go here and end your life for the lake"

placid tulip
#

Best vacation spot description ever 😂

#

What Theatre postcard?????

#

@tawdry fulcrum?

rich yacht
#

waiting in corner

#

I always wonder what's connection between the exilir and the lake

shy pecan
#

Whoa. Could it be that the lake is fed with the memories of mental illness sufferers?

rich yacht
#

It could be, but what would they get from the lake? Exilir?

#

Nah exilir has it's own recipe

#

Then for what?

shy pecan
#

Worship?

rich yacht
#

Could be

shy pecan
#

Like serving the lake is its own reward?

rich yacht
#

Well but since when?

shy pecan
#

What do you mean?

rich yacht
#

Like from when the things of giving the memories begin?

#

waiting again

shy pecan
#

It's times like these I wish Mat Pat would check the game out.

rich yacht
#

👌

#

The point of game is revealing about the lake mystery

#

Why they need the exilir? To make them able to "protect" the lake forever?

shy pecan
#

Sure. After all, the longer they live the more time they get to enjoy doing that.

#

And maybe those who use the elixir to cheat death die and are reborn.

#

Come to think about it, it seems to fit in really well with the Buddhist themes.

rich yacht
#

good side of living near the lake : you can fishing using bear trap on land

shy pecan
#

Hehe! And when you roast it over a fire you magically get grill marks.

rich yacht
#

Well what happen if it is stopped then? Nothing much will change?

#

Wonderful and magical live near the lake

#

Plot twist : the reason we can fishing on land is because we are all always under the lake

#

Lakeception

shy pecan
#

Well if I were to put stock in the idea, I'd say it was a miracle.

#

It could have easily been a rabbit or squirrel, but it was a fish.

#

Like the lake has a mind to tell Rose it is watching and favors her.

#

I might be coming across as a religious nut job.

rich yacht
#

It also happen in birthday where we use a mice trap to catch a fish. But it does makes a bit sense since we know Dale was in the lake that time

sly pelican
#

Hello. Is this Rusty Lake?

vague imp
#

say the word

#

Fate?

I'm sorry, your place is already taken

I've booked my room five months ago, how can it be taken?!

tawdry fulcrum
#

Someone payed more

#

A lot more

sly pelican
#

I'll report you to the Universal Resort And Hotel Administration!

tawdry fulcrum
#

Fuck ._.

ancient dagger
#

It's probably me

#

I've played them all too much

tawdry fulcrum
#

That's the postcard I meant a few hours ago. I think it is supporting the suicide theory

vague imp
#

I read a few of your theories. Why are you so deeply digging? Use Occam's razor: the simplest explanation is the most realistic. For example, how can we assume that in the Seasons the protagonist is not Laura? This is proven by the developers themselves. Better read this fundamental theory of Buddhism:
rusty-lake.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:2076

tawdry fulcrum
#

i dont think it is suicide, too
but many others here think it was suicide and i thought maybe they wanted to know this

rich yacht
#

Anyway did anyone remember in Case 23, the dead of Laura is called suicide or homicide?

#

Like, how they able to distinguish between which suicide or homicide

thin elk
#

Well, homicide implies another person. If they left any traces of themselves, like signs of fight or breaking locks in and stuff like that, they'd think that it was a murder.

#

If no other person's traces can be found around the room, and the killing tool is in victim's hand or something, it's probably safe to assume suicide.

tawdry fulcrum
#

dunno, but i think the police can distinguish suicide and murder

rich yacht
#

(face table) well since this is Rusty Lake universe anything could happen

thin elk
#

Well

tawdry fulcrum
#

at the crime szene werent a weapon, so Laura might been murdered

thin elk
#

The Rusty Lake police is probably the same as everything else, so naturally, they wouldn't assume that Laura was a time traveller who took her own life.

tawdry fulcrum
#

^

#

that would change a lot

rich yacht
#

Or i think it is just my imagination

#

I'll just delete that massege because i don't want it mislead anyone

thin elk
#

@rich yacht Nope. Nothing about the murder being a suicide.

#

Dale said he was a homicide detective, though.

kindred meteor
#

Well then

rich yacht
#

well my parent was killed by random rabbit in my birthday so it might a cool idea of being a homicide detective

thin elk
#

I also rewrote the entire murder thing, so my granddad killed said rabbit, and it's still a cool idea to become a homicide detective.

rich yacht
#

Classic batman

thin elk
#

Holy cow, he is!

#

Dale Vandermeer is Batman!

kindred meteor
#

He claims dale = Batman theory

thin elk
#

Excuse you, it's a fact, not a theory xD

rich yacht
#

And here we are, from Buddhism to Batman

kindred meteor
#

So mr. Owl is like joker?

tawdry fulcrum
#

So Dale ist Batman? that would be a nice plottwist 🤔

rich yacht
#

He looks nice

#

So if i am right, the one who killed poeple the most is William

#

He is the joker

#

Or nvm

kindred meteor
#

Now we know joker's identity

sly pelican
#

Your truth lies in lies of people.

#

Lies on lies*

#

I wonder who is the mutual friend of Mr. Boar and Mr. Owl.

strong finch
#

Mr. Crow?

#

Harvey?

#

@rich yacht Laura killed herself, in The Cave it is shown that she killed herself with a knife, therefore there's a stained knife in Fall, Seasons

#

Noweteese meh

shadow stump
#

Yeah, there's a knife in almost all the games. Coincidence? Hmmm... I don't think so.

rich yacht
#

So... Are we still going to say that it is not a suicide?

vague imp
#

sort of unrelated but if person from one timeline kills their other self, is it murder or it it suicide?

vague imp
#

both

thin elk
#

Uh

#

It's a paradox, call the Doctor

rich yacht
#

Okay lets just call this the dead of Laura

I'm replaying all the games as I wait

I only not play hotel and roods because I afraid to pay of internet with my tablet

after I can pay indirect other things

#

but I'll pay double for this games

#

after that I finish my last proyect I study this case and buy there games

#

but I know story of there games

vague imp
#

Ooooo nice! You should play it sometime tho if you get the chance

#

Rusty lake hotel is my favorite

buoyant flax
#

Rusty lake have merit for I buy there

#

I read to resume

#

and same more interesting

#

five days, five deads

vague imp
#

Ohhh you can't buy it from the app store/Google play?

buoyant flax
#

yes but I sisagree put my bank information

#

disagree

vague imp
#

Haha ya I didn't expect that to happen the first time I played hotel

#

Ohhhh

#

I use Google play giftcards to pay for it haha

buoyant flax
#

I don't know to succes in hotel

#

I only know that a character kill there men

#

I don't know if is a one of they, mr crown or other person

#

Y have very hype to hotel

vague imp
#

I haven't played it in a while but isn't it Mr owl that's just chilling at the end haha

#

The entire game is very eerie

buoyant flax
#

I only know make zeldas xD

#

make escape games secure is more funny

#

of escape games I play hundreds games

#

but rusty lake for me are the best

shy pecan
#

@buoyant flax I use Steam to buy roots and hotel.

buoyant flax
#

I haven't steam profile

shadow stump
#

Hey, I don t know if someone notice that, but when Leonard goes for WW1 in rusty lake: roots, the helmet he is wearing was specific to the United kingdom's soldiers. What that means is that rusty lake takes place in United kingdom, maybe in England.

shy pecan
#

@Lokionome#0424 I don't know if I one hundred percent agree with that. The American helmet and uniform look a lot like the British one apparently.

shadow stump
#

@Tristanwebb#1294 There is also another hint that Rusty lake take place in United kingdom: in Rusty lake: roots, you can find a newspaper called "daily herald", which is a real UK newspaper.

#

*sorry, WAS a UK newspaper, since it stops publish in the 60's.

tawdry fulcrum
#

but still UK

shadow stump
#

Yes, still uk

vague imp
#

But the surnames of Dutch origin indicate that Rusty Lake is somewhere in the Netherlands

tawdry fulcrum
#

Names proves nothing

#

remember Atack on Titan? The most names are German but it plays in Madagascar

#

ok, not the real Madagascar, a island in shape of it
but not Germany

vague imp
#

Simply, I think that developers will most likely want to locate Rusty Lake in their homeland

tawdry fulcrum
#

but we have more envidences thats in the UK. it is also possible, that they took Dutch names because thats the names the are the most familiar with

vague imp
shadow stump
#

It cannot be in netherlands because, during WW1, netherlands was neutral, so no man was sent to fight.

vague imp
#

Well, also it can be in France, since one of the games takes place in Arles

#

there weren't any lake in arles tho. just van gogh goin nuts

shadow stump
#

@vague imp sorry to tell you that but no. French soldier's had a very specific helmet too, and it s very different from the british one.

#

*well, maybe a part of the serie is in france. But I m sure that the majority of the games take place in UK

vague imp
#

OK, that's cool. There are no other options except England

shadow stump
#

Sorry, didnt mean to be rude. 😦

#

And, I might be wrong, who knows?

vague imp
#

Actually there are no problems. We came to the right conclusion

tawdry fulcrum
#

so, one mystery solved, only endless left ._.

vague imp
#

wait are you sure that couldnt be Netherlands?

#

bc while the country remained neutral i highly doubt they didnt need an army

tawdry fulcrum
#

but we see the guy, sadly i forgot his name, with a big wound. if he weren't at war, why he had that wound

vague imp
#

"armed in that the Dutch maintained an army to defend the country against any possible violations of its neutrality"

tawdry fulcrum
#

and iirc there are shots in the backgorund

#

does any country attacked the Netherlands in WWI?

vague imp
#

have you seen the map of europe

#

The Netherlands really did not participate in the war

#

they had to defend their borders tho?? so they could remain neutral

#

i sent an article where it clearly said that netherlands mobilized the army and maintained it throughout the entire war time

#

Pay attention to the word "possible"

#

"The primary task of the armed forces (army and navy) was to discourage any belligerent power from incorporating Dutch territory in its military operations or in a worst-case scenario, to try to occupy the Netherlands"

tawdry fulcrum
#

yeah, they had mobilized their army, but did this army fight?

vague imp
#

In Wikipedia it is written that the Netherlands had to keep their army in a state of permanent mobilization, but the country did not participate in the war.

tawdry fulcrum
#

if they were attacked they had participated, i guess

vague imp
#

it wasnt significant to the war anyway

tawdry fulcrum
#

to the war, yes

#

but you see shoten soldiers and heared shoots yourself in that room

#

so they had fight

vague imp
#

ofc

#

netherlands were basically in between of everything

#

so their neutrality was threatened

#

but they didnt need to send their army anywhere since the primary task was to defend the borders

#

But Leonard was wounded by an enemy grenade

rotund moon
#

It doesn't look like the Dutch army ever participated in any land battles

tawdry fulcrum
#

^

vague imp
#

have you. seen. a map.

rotund moon
#

The army was mobilized, but they were never part of any battles.

vague imp
#

@vague imp What do you mean by that?

tawdry fulcrum
#

no one has to go througt it to attack someone else

#

not even Belgium

#

so, do they realy had to defend their borders?

vague imp
#

"The German occupation of Belgium had serious consequences for the Dutch and posed a potential threat to the country’s neutrality. From a military point of view, Dutch neutrality favoured the Germans: it safeguarded their right flank and their logistical lines between the front and the Heimat. On the other hand, the Dutch could never rule out the possibility that, should the British want to attack overseas, they would make use of Dutch ports and territory to attack German positions in the rear. Also, Holland was very close to the front in France and Flanders. Any serious movement, especially a German retreat, could endanger Dutch neutrality. Snijders and his staff were well aware that the Dutch position was strategically precarious. That is why he stressed it was important not to demobilise, not even partially, as other neutrals like Denmarkand Switzerland did"

rotund moon
#

That has nothing to do with them being in battle is the thing. Leonard was in a trench, with obvious fighting nearby. The dutch army wouldn't have been in trenches or in an active battle

tawdry fulcrum
#

this text says that they hat mobilized and were afraid of the german, nothing over beeing in a battle

vague imp
#

i still highly doubt they didnt ever fight. that wouldnt make any sense

#

@vague imp Can you at least open Wikipedia?

#

🙄

#

"A large army was mobilised to defend this neutrality", - Wikipedia

tawdry fulcrum
#

maybe there was a fight, maybe not. But even if there wasn't the developers might be made a mistake and thougt Netherland has fought a battle. I don't think so but it is also possible. So until the one of the games or the developers confirm it it is just a theory

rotund moon
#

True

#

Creative license is always a possibility

shadow stump
#

So, I asked my history teacher (who isnt wikipedia), and he told me that not even once, netherlands needed to defend themselves or attack. So... I guess the UK theory might be right.

vague imp
#

yall

#

im

#

this was just there and none of you said that

#

his uniform

#

its UK

#

also some people from Netherlands volunteered to other countries' armies

#

yeah i think maybe just maybe

#

Leonard was from the Netherlands (maybe?)

#

but he got like drafted into the uk army overseas?

#

Could happen?

#

absolutely

#

Tbh uhh its sorta confusing where RL is but i think the netherlands

#

i mean rl does a have ..windmill

#

dosent Netherlands have alot of windmills?

#

But i guess we could try thinking where Rusty Lake is by the flowers that grow there in RL Roots?

#

maybe that will help

shadow stump
#

@vague imp In fact, radium, I did talk about the uniform at the beginning of the "UK or Neitherlands" debate. I'd say that Leonard was wearing a helmet specific to the british soldier.

vague imp
#

hemlets come and go but the uniform itself was very different

#

hmm but

#

you know

#

they could have been short on netherlands type of soldier clothing

#

maybe they just gave him what they had?

shadow stump
#

Maybe, but, were there really volontary people to go to WW1? I mean, it s horrible, and ok there is propaganda but if you live in a country that has nothing to do with it, there s no reason to have propaganda in your country and you have no reason to go to one of the most horrible war of all time.

vague imp
#

Maybe he wanted to get away from Albert?

#

idk

#

he got nothing to lose anyway

#

True i mean

#

most of his family is dead

shadow stump
#

Yeah... idk. Maybe. I just need to see if the "Daily Herald" was available outside of the UK.

vague imp
#

was it..

shadow stump
#

If it does, there would be no reason that Rusty lake isnt in neitherlands

vague imp
#

well

#

tbh uhhh i think most people think Netherlands (me included) because its where the developers live

#

atleast i think they live in the netherlands.

shadow stump
#

The longer I think about it, the most I think that Rusty lake is in neitherland. It s hard to tell.

vague imp
#

tbh i think it is.

#

us in the future possibly:Boy were we wrong..

#

btw the daily herald probably was only available in uk as it seems

#

i dont think they even sold it outside of the london but who knows

#

but wait

#

wait

#

i dont know much about newspaper production

#

who said they only had the daily herald made in only England?

#

Maybe it was a netherlands made verison also?

#

dunno, but we see the newspaper in the "war hero" part, which is in 1914

#

and in 1914 daily herald had... financial troubles

#

hmm

#

Actually that makes me think..

#

is there like

#

a small town in rusty lake?

#

are there stores

#

and cafes..

#

theres nothing,,, its either a really small village or remote part of a big city

#

well true

#

either way the newspaper had to be local since they published the news about murder

#

yeahhh

#

you know i just imagined Mr.Owl sitting down at his desk at night

#

and just writing

shadow stump
#

So... UK I guess? Or is there still a debate?

vague imp
#

Uhhh eh tbh i dont think we can come to a offical agreement until they confirm it

#

so i guess it depends on the person?

shadow stump
#

I guess. But we can almost be sure it s Neitherlands or UK

vague imp
#

uhh well i believe Netherlands bcs Vanderboom means from the tree in dutch

#

but hey my personal opnion

shadow stump
#

Yeah, but still, we are on something

vague imp
#

.I would make a joke of giving the answer of "The earth/the ground duh" but nevermind

#

but yeah we obviously are

#

hmm

#

the daily herald paper also appears in the case 23, which is year 1971

#

oh yeah it did.

#

but the daily herald (uk) was published till 1964

#

and then it ended?

#

first it was reborn, then sold

#

if i understand the article right

#

oh

#

oh, yeah. it was reborn in 1964 as The Sun, and 1969 it was sold

#

...

#

ah okay

I think there s also a Daily herald in chicago. Maybe Case 23 is in US

vague imp
#

also unrelated for a keyboard why

#

sec*

#

..XD

#

nobody saw that

#

uhhh i hope we get a new rl update soon.

#

Here's an idea. Rusty Lake takes place in a world much like ours but not exactly.

cold siren
#

Guys, you are trying way too hard, it has been stablished that it's about the buddhist samsara wheel, take that information and work on that!

#

Dont just create theories out of thin air

shadow stump
#

@macumbeiro#1473 Did you read everything that was said about this theory and how we end up with this?

shy pecan
#

I think as far as location of Rusty Lake goes we're making assumptions about the developer's intentions.

#

They might not have had a set location. After all, they were inspired by the show twin peaks which takes place on the other side of the planet as Europe.

shadow stump
#

Hmmm... Maybe, but I still feel like the dev put some hint for this.

shy pecan
#

And with the daily herald being a major news source reporting on suspicious activity in the local area of the lake, the place would just be crawling with investigators.

#

Lots of people follow leads on paranormal with less. Think of Loch Ness, Bigfoot, Amelia Earhart.

shadow stump
#

But why would they have use the name of a real journal, why didnt they just create one?

shy pecan
#

You could ask the reverse. Why create a journal when you already have a real one?

Thincc

shadow stump
#

I might be thinking too much about the idea of the location of Rusty Lake, but I still feel that choosing the name of a UK newspaper that was publishing during WW1 isn t coincidence and it s suppose give a hint about the location of Rusty Lake. If it s not it, it s just misleading.

vague imp
#

Maybe this is not the most weighty argument, but the fact that all the inscriptions and titles are written in English speaks in favor of version about England.

#

the whole game is in english

#

I mean, if the organization Rusty Lake Mental Health and Fishing was located in the Netherlands, its name would be in Dutch. But it is not exactly.

Do we know anything about the woman dressed in green?

fresh badger
#

the woman dressed in green?

#

you mean Laura?

shadow stump
#

The woman in seasons. I don't know if she has a name.

fresh badger
#

have you played roots or the cave?

shadow stump
#

Wait, I m playing cube escape the cave and I think that, yes, it's Laura

fresh badger
#

have you played roots?

shadow stump
#

Yes, but it s been months

fresh badger
#

do you remember what happens in the end?

shadow stump
#

No

fresh badger
#

i cant quite explain it well because it's also been months since i played it and my bad english but remember a baby was "born" at the end?

shadow stump
#

Yes I do

fresh badger
#

that is laura

shadow stump
#

Isnt it, ... Dale?

fresh badger
#

i dont think so

#

According to the book in the cave, no

shadow stump
#

I though it was a boy

fresh badger
#

Have you taken a look into the book in the cave?

shadow stump
#

Just give me a second

fresh badger
#

aaa its been so long, i gotta play it all again to remember the details

shadow stump
#

Oh, now it make sense: William V. is Laura

fresh badger
#

yes as i remember

#

isnt it kinda odd?

shadow stump
#

Yes

fresh badger
#

the elixir gives you eternal life through that, it's genial

shadow stump
#

But... Didnt william "reborn" as 2 entities?

fresh badger
#

has he?

shadow stump
#

I though Dale was one of his "reincarnation" but that he didnt remember

fresh badger
#

i never thought of it as that

#

but would it make sense if we take in count what happened in Roots?

shadow stump
#

Not sure, I cant remember what happened exactly at the end of roots

#

Btw, when I look at your profile, it says "accept" and "denied". What does it mean ( I m kind of new on discord)?

fresh badger
#

if you accept, you accept a friend request

#

have you played samsara?

shadow stump
#

I did

fresh badger
#

do you think it has any connection to the series?

shadow stump
#

Maybe. Same art style (but it doesnt prove anything) and there are (in a way) animal people.

fresh badger
#

yeah, and also the meaning behind it

shadow stump
#

To be honest, I didnt see that meaning.What was it?

fresh badger
#

As I've read somewhere, the word Samsara has something about being reborn, reincarnation, and such

#

so I remember that when I finished Roots, I immediately remembered Samsara

shadow stump
#

It s probably linked

fresh badger
#

i'm anxious to see the next game :3

shadow stump
#

I can t wait 😄

fresh badger
#

me neither ❤

strong finch

#

I can’t ever get discord to work right with the invite links☹️

#

I’ve finished all of the cube escape games except for roots which I’m going to start soon.

vague imp
#

i wish you the best of luck!! roots is really long but its really worth it

vague imp
#

Hey I'm replaying birthday rn

#

Does anyone know what this means

#

It means preta (hungry spirit). To Google

vague imp
#

Ohhh okay cool!

cold siren
#

"Pretas are believed to have been false, corrupted, compulsive, deceitful, jealous or greedy people in a previous life. As a result of their karma, they are afflicted with an insatiable hunger for a particular substance or object."

shy pecan
#

Huh, so do you suppose the corrupted spirits are Pretas?

vague imp
#

@shy pecan It looks like you played inattentively. Cube Escape: Theatre is completely devoted to how the Rusty Lake Universe is organized (and how it is related to Buddhism). I'm already tired of saying all this. Take a look at the discussion at Rusty Lake Wiki.

strong finch
#

Look at the wheel in Theatre

shy pecan
#

Yeah...I get that

#

The Samsara Wheel is a huge theme. It's hard to miss, and I didn't miss it.

#

I was just kind of hoping we could talk beyond the obvious.

cold siren
#

It's not beyond the obvious, because you can throw any shitty theory without hard evidence and call it right

#

Also, it's not only the obvious, it's the bedrock of the game

#

And that's where you start to build your theories on

#

Also, this discord was made waaay after the true theorist figured out most of the game

shy pecan
#

The true theorist?

cold siren
#

True theorists*

#

The ones who was pursuing the answers from the beggining

tawdry fulcrum
#

So you are only a true theorist If you theorized from the begining?

shy pecan
#

Okay, I'm getting a really condescending vibe here.

#

I'm not Sherlock Homes, okay? I'm just a gamer trying to enjoy myself with fellow fans.

cold siren
#

No, it's just that you are wanting to create the theory from scratch, and even call false some theories that has been stabilished before you

#

Yeah, but it gets annoying at some point

shy pecan
#

Wait, when was that established? I haven't done that at all.

cold siren
#

Like wanting to go away from the buddhist theme, which is basically the whole game series theme

tawdry fulcrum
#

So the atother theoris are better, because someone said this theoris befor ours?

shy pecan
#

I was actually going with it. I thought it was really interesting what it said on the pistol box and thought maybe the corrupted souls had bad karma.

cold siren
#

No, they are better because they dedicated more time to develope the other theories

tawdry fulcrum
#

and we did not spent time on them?

#

and you are say buddism here, buddism there, but i have never herad of a buddism theory. I don't get away from this, i never heard from this. as we asked you what the buddismtheory is you said nothing

cold siren
#

I just think people in here should read the reddits threads and stuff and start continuing the theory

shy pecan
#

@tawdry fulcrum You haven't?

cold siren
#

It's like wanting to invent the wheel to build a car

tawdry fulcrum
#

no, i haven't

shy pecan
#

@cold siren I actually wrote some of the reddits...

tawdry fulcrum
#

until now, i didn't know there were reddits about it

cold siren
#

Yeah, ok, maybe not you, but most of the time here people are discussing unnecessary things

tawdry fulcrum
#

so you blame our theorys, because some other theorys we maybe nevere heared about?

#

what are those "unnecessary things"

cold siren
#

I just blame that you dont want to hear the theories that have basically been proven true to create your own theories

shy pecan
#

@tawdry fulcrum I can't remember what tipped me off to it first, but I noticed the word "Samsara" while playing roots. I did a little research and found out it was a reference to reincarnation. It's a wheel.

cold siren
#

Like one time people were discussing if mr crow was or wasnt aldous

shy pecan
#

Okay, but were they having fun?

tawdry fulcrum
#

what? our theories have proven theyr theories?

cold siren
#

Well, if the meaning is just to have fun, then this thread should be called rusty lake fun

#

This was created to find the meaning of the game, not to randomly discuss anything

shy pecan
#

I think fun is implied and the subject of the chat is getting specific about the topic.

cold siren
#

Yeah, you can have fun and also discuss what matters

tawdry fulcrum
#

but it is called rusty lake story, everyone can discuss their theory here. if you aren't the same opinion as those you can told them about the theoris you think they are true

#

you just say "hey, this theorie is bad because of this theorie"

cold siren
#

Well, this is the problem of freedom of speech in a nutshell

#

#flatearthisreal

shy pecan
#

Yes, and Bush caused 9/11

#

So here's a theory of the theory, a meta theory if you will.

#

Some of us are interested in finding the one truth about the story, which is great.

#

Other people propose different ideas of what it means to them and come up with stories of their own.

tawdry fulcrum
#

i don't have something again your theories, but you have something about ours. Thats ok, but please don't be rude and just say "its wrong because of that theorie". told us about this theorie so we can discuss togehter over it

cold siren
#

Yeah, but its really the matter of flatearthers kind of discussion

shy pecan
#

How so?

tawdry fulcrum
#

why?

#

because of this one about aldus?

cold siren
#

The earth is a ball, geoid or whatever you want to call, but I can say it is flat and show "proofs"
