Anyway, time to go to bed for me. See you tomorrow! 
Dam... I seem to forget a good question from some previous discussions
@stable wigeon do you have some unanswered questions? I collect those time to time
Helps me comprehend my situation with understanding the lore
Nah
yes but
(& lets everyone be happy) :з
lol i agree
there is definitely multiverse involved
but i tend to think there is a bit of plastic history in that
the narrative only follows one timeline
if it didnt then it would be a mess
It might just focus on the most successful timeline & then follow Dale to the one where he saved his parents
yea
but what is the medium via which
we see the multiple timelines in paradox
presuming it is indeed "real"
Paradox seems to be rather recursive & the only versions of Dale that create the paradox are corrupted
even dearhead?
Dunno
i wonder what causes it tho
I can just tell that corrupted Dale is able to see all the iterations at once & they all seem to go one after another
it is the only time we have seen something like that
wait why do u say this
What's the matter?
why do you say corrupted dale sees all iterations
His way has crossed with the ones of many versions of himself. & normal Dale has encountered only the corrupted one
Like CS sees everyone
ohhh
& everyone see only CS
The paradox is normal Dale watching corrupted himself killing Laura
right right
then we see that in first person
i still cant think of the motive for this seeing as laura is supposedly already dead right?
or does he have to kill all iterations of laura or something?
in cave she is a CS
mostly
that iteration she died then right? the only time we previously saw her as a CS is when her dead memories are extracted
I guess, he could retroactively rewrite the history in a way that he commits suicide & she lives
that could explains
Maybe corrupted Dale was actually the murderer
However, these statements have no real evidence to support them
Another possibility is Dale's sacrifice making Seasons possible
Sadly, I don't currently have enough time to think how these assumptions work with the bigger picture
& I'd prefer to start with the earlier games
not in the seasons timeline.....?
remember the cave
The Cave could also mean possession of Laura by a different CS
also is that how possesion works?
i dont recall ever seeing a CS control a living body
- cutting throat is not a usual way of suicide
- Both William & Laura put a great effort into getting back to life
William could be regarded in that way
I want you to remember that these are also interpretations
but doesnt make more sense for Laura's CS is the one involved?
in seasons
well ok
nevermknd that
the thing is
i am not inclined to believe that dale CS killing laura in paradox is the same in seasons
it happens at a different setting
it seems to be represented as its own event
Paradox could indeed reflect the reality.
but she was already dead
thats why i think we are talking a different laura
like u said
possibly one which dale sacrificed himself
i always found that noose in ch 2 interesting
I also see a way of paradox being not limited to Dale's mind.
The paradox in global sense could take place when a corrupted Dale possessed Laura & made her killed herself while another Dale started his investigation
yes that is what i think too
i dont think it is taking place in his mind
well technically perhaps
but the events are real events
that have happened/are happening/will happen
gn
so there is the fucked up part, is CS formed from a cube or a kind of traditional soul form that comes from someone else's body
thats why I have several thought about classifying different type of CS
Corupted body, corupted soul , cotupted person?
yes!
thats my classification
However, the great nowherecaw disagree with the corrupted dead body part
I think Laura is special
But we see Lauras body become corupted
yes
basically we can describe it in a easy way
CS is like some sort of layer
like venom
But Guests , they don't have body, there is only soul
Guests are cubes with layer around them?
nah
I think they are just cubes that has been treated by Mr Owl in a special or accidental way
because normally black cubes dont just form a damn CS out of it
also, a person can produce more than one black cube
how there isnt more than 5 guests
might dublicate
Maybe other guest leave the hotel alive?
no I mean how there arent like 5 Mr Deer
since a person can produce more than 1 black cube
Maybe this cubes was concentrated?
maybe
and they were more powerfu;
but I thought cube is solid
and that could possibly lead to breakout
true
I more believe that the black cubes that have been activated can form a CS
for example, activated like drop in the lake, or collect other black cubes and make it denser
but its just interpretation
I still believe that Laura is different
especially her body
she was made by a tree
maybe that can keep her corrupted soul still attached to her body
Is Frank special?
but isnt every cs special lol
i.e bob
all the hotel guests are theirbown thing
ig bob is like dale kinda?
He thinks that Laura is the biggest exception
i see where hes coming from
tbh
i believe in the corrupted body bit
not the corrupted person bit
a cs IS its own person
unless its not
i.e. hotel guests
I effectively see no difference in abilities of souls & bodies
At least in the past he anticipated Laura being an artificial human that was the only one to become a corrupted body after death
These 2 traits of seeming uniqueness makes him think that they are connected
so are we distinguishing corrupted bodies and corrupted souls?
It's debatable
indeed
But for now I see no reason to do so
i always associate the source of corruption with a black cube
I think Laura still has her CS in her body
actually
like soul
I think everyone has
^
not the guests
it seems this way
everyone who is emotionally unstavle
oh right yes
i i thought he meant every person has a CS in them
I meant dead ppl
not the other way around
she is made of a damn tree using the sacrifice of the entire clan
lol
she is the only dead body inside the game that has become a CS
like a parasite
hes both
partially corrupted
ok, you made me move to the desktop
bro he shot himself in the head
he could
Bob is still alive
i think
here is the blurry line between dead and alive
what happens after you die?
bruh, nothing even shows that he shot himself tbh
whatever happens after you die didnt happen to bob
he doesnt have a permanent hole on his head afterwards
yes but again idk
Mr Crow's special hallucinate blood Mary
since twd is from his prespective i take it with a grain of salt
Bob could die, go corrupted & then be intact after corruption is gone (we don't see a slice on Laura's throat when her corruption goes away for a moment)
Bob's shot could be either non-lethal (as it happens sometimes) or even an illusion
yes
yes this is something i was thinking
but the thing is do we know how Laura died at the begining?
yes
more or less
killed by a CS, suicide?
that could be controled by a CS
I think not in that way
she was depressed as f, she could kill herself tbh
i dont think it matters if it was under her control or not tbh
people don't usually slice their throats even for suicide sake
what's more, both William & Laura wanted to live while being corrupted
I want to return to CS
yes srry
none of other CS went into a dead body and walks with it
maybe Bob is the case, even though I thought he is still alive while walking as a CS
its like a cursed iron man
someone wears a CS
whereas a dead person wears a CS
its different
I think Bob still has a chance to become uncorrupted whereas Laura barely has any changce since her uncorrupted side is dead
its like two power inside your body
ye i see that too
a dead ironman but with a moving armor
cs manifests from black cube and can take over the body
thats the case I saw
probably
but I am not sure
I think its not like take over body
it exists inside the body
like some kinda hidden force
well
that depends if youre talking about lauea or dale/bob
right
also rq about bob
well...yeah
i dont think shooting himself was a hallucination in any way
he could have lived possibly due to the cs
- I see no reasons to diversify CS as they all act pretty similarly when unleashed.
- They also all seem to be caused by negativity=black cube in one way or another. Everyone has a potential to corrupt & it likely depends on the amount of negativity & mental strength of a person.
- Corrupted souls are not parasites that share our bodies with clean souls. That contradicts samsara & souls being always one.
- I see Laura's case as a CS being bond to the body (like the drowned one in The Lake) the reason it's got unleashed is unfortunate memory extraction.
- Owl doesn't show that Laura's & Bob's Theatre cases are much different.
- Laura's unusual origin doesn't mean that she's inhuman. And even if it did that wouldn't mean that it should affect her seemingly unique state of corruption
he didnt have any sign of being shot afterwards
but 2 things
one how did dale extract his memories then?
two
this is all from dales perspective
bob cant be an unreliable narrator here he isnt the narrator
neither does Dale
wym
What happened in Theatre is debatable
because?
because they are high as f with a flying fish and Dale can just extract ppls memory with his bare hands
It was a lesson about samsara in order to set Dale into a higher state of consciousness partly based on the real event
yes
however
because thats the point of the play
we can't say for sure if that wouldn't happen IRL
bob wasnt part of the play
yes
i dont believe they conjured the theatre out of their ass
i think it was a memory of dales
the shot could be that magic that lets Bob live & Dale extract his memories. And flying fish... It not even weirder than most of things that actually happened
it only makes sense
doubt
its a lesson created by Mr Owl
It was Dale's memory. Heavily altered one
Dale must be high as f in that bar
I guess, just on his revisit
and i think bob shooting himself was real because he turned into a cs
no but we witnessed what corrupted his body
maybe after he returned from CS back to human, he cured the wound
like Laura's throat
the only thing we are given about bobs cs manifesting
yes i agree
thats what i am considering
CS, a special medicine
anyway shit i have an interview tomorrow gn
cya
so
Theatre
I think that originally Dale has visited it
even met Bob there
I think that Birthday and Theatre are the same thing: in the reality, things are gone differently, and when Dale revisit them, the memories are modified by the Lake in order to teach to Dale HOW TO WORK with his past, just like he learned after drinking the green vial in the Paradox room.
And i also think that those lessons have to be for EVERY memory he has. We see only those 2 because are the most important.
Bday was very important,but why theatre?
Theatre is literally the explaination of everything for him! Samsara, corrupted souls, memory extraction, enlighteneds... Also, is here where Mr Owl say to him what he may become.
I think exactly the same
In my opinion, this would make the whole story more simple and linear to explain
At least, it is the theory that I can connect most of the games to
This way of thinking is quite elegant.
I just don't like Dale having false memories & can't ignore direct indications of Seasons being real
Bare in mind that the story is locally non-linear
CS actually kill Laura, Harvey & Dale in the cabin in one version of the story
Paradox true endings are also contradicting each other
Something like that could be also seen in TWD
I'm not saying that Dale has false memories. Bare in mind that Dale doesn't have any memories (just some ideas of them) in the elevator. I think that, while he's watching the modified ones, he also remember the originals. He know what is his real past, the modified ones are "lessons".
He is expected to be mentally cured via rewriting his traumatic memories. Otherwise psycological wounds are still present.
If memories are the only thing rewritten then he lives in lies from then on
Yes, and for this reason i'm sure he knows what is his real past.
If he know his real past then he's still affected by it
Not necessarily.
Jakob still remember his mother's terrible death, and now he is the governant of the Lake!
Jacob is an asur. Dale is to overcome him
He has to work harder
If Dale has to work even harder, then why he shouldn't do also the same things Jakob did?
Jacob did nothing for his enlightenment. The elixir & sacrifice were provided by Caroline & that's quite enough for becoming an asur
But Dale in order to have a stronger boost by seemingly the same elixir has to get a head start
That's why he clears his mind, faces his demons & gets a higher state of consciousness
That's what i'm saying too. But i think you want to mean something else.
I want to say that fixing his past trauma wouldn't have a great effect if he still remembers the original ones
That's the very thing that hurts him
His old memories
They have to be erased if Dale is to be pure
I don't agree with the last sentence. I perfectly know that Dale is hurted by his past trauma, but i don't see any proof that he literally has to FORGET them to be pure. I think that a wise man like he will have to be can't just... pretend to have had a good past just to be pure. The inner peace is a thing that you have to reach by yourself, by what you are, by who you are. I mean, i think that Dale would live in lies if he will be convinced to EFFECTIVELY have had the past he see in the elevator rather than knowing the difference.
In psychiatry in order to cure the trauma Dale would need to accept it in order to carry on.
Apparently he does not. He fights it instead. If it's not erased then it's still present & has to affect him until he deals with it in one way or another
Exactly, DEAL WITH IT. That's exactly what the green vial teach him.
"Stepping aside" is the thing i mean. The sacrifice for Laura, for my point of view, it's only a test to see if Dale has really a good heart. But it doesn't happen really. Anyway, the green vial teach how to step aside with his memories, it change only the purpose. The green vial says It for let him sacrifice, but the real use is to make him leave his past behind, but without forgetting It.
Otherwise, as you said, he would be affected by them.
- Paradox is before Birthday
- The green vial ending is one of the ways to completely end the story. Dale dies, doesn't look into another cube, doesn't start another Paradox iteration. The end.
And another thing: kindness is not dealing with psycological trauma
These things are independent
1)And so? What's the problem?
2)Are we really sure that Dale has to look at the cube for another iteration? Can't he just have lose his consciousness drinking it, and then wake up again?
I'm not saying that.
Then we'd see another iteration starting. But we don't
You sure? Couldn't he exited from the room just like before, looking at the cube, and starting again in the second room?
We even get the bonus movie scene of Dale dying
& Laura staying alive
With the paradox cube turning white
Is he really dead or just passed out ? That Laura is real or another Paradox vision? The cube couldn't be just a pure simbolism like for Birthday?
(for "passed out" my traslator means "svenuto", i mean "he lose his consciousness temporarly")
In birthday it's not symbolic
Memories are actually changed
About everything else I'm also sure.
My idea is that Dale woke up again, get out of the room, and he start again in the second room, where this time he find the golden cube and the hidden elevator.
I'm sure that's not the case. We have "one of us will die, another will find enlightenment, make your move", not "I'll die, you'll find enlightenment". We also have "you can't save her without sacrificing yourself". Then we have Dale dying & Laura happily standing on the lake. No corrupted Dale to kill her because there is no next iteration
@azure bay is right on this point
You could discuss about their canonicity
But they exclude each other
OK, let's assume that for a moment. In this case my question is extremely simple: WHY? Why make Laura revive? Why make this whole project about him just to let him die? Why literally fu-- everything up just to revive a person that has perfectly showed not wanting to live???
im unsure what the context here is
but I think wanting to revive youyr own brother
is perfectly valid reasoning
lmao
What's more, I'd say that Mr Owl & Co. don't have so much power of decision on the others, especially Laura and Dale
They can guide them, but not control them
Nevermind. I had poor connection & did not see a ton of messages
Are you OK now?
Can you explain me then?
Laura could potentially take Dale's journey.
Change some memories
Learn some lessons
But then why choosing Dale? I mean, is literally trowing a life away.
Just to have another back.
I don't tell that's the plan
Either way they are having 1 person dead & 1 person enlightened
& I bet Owl with his grey morality doesn't care about human lives that much. He's dealing with the higher matter & more global goals
In that case, Dale is not so important. He can just be replaced with her, without having any consideration.
Probably not
But that would probably be Laura's problem
To find abother chosen one to replace herself after another century or 2
The point Is that Dale must have something more than Laura. Otherwise the mind union would be useless.
To activate that machine, Is needed her good and bad memories, a blue cube, her mind AND DALE'S MIND.
I can imagine him having just a bigger potential
Maybe he's the only one to meet criteria for becoming dev
Laura as an asur would do but not that efficient
But honestly, we have no idea what happens if Dale refuses
Then why take Dale to her level?
It's not about level
It's about the right ritual
But if Dale is clearly more important, then why make him replace with Laura?
They just need someone for the rule of 2
It seems to be the matter either of luck or choice of one of them on who is to win
But nobody Is drinking the elixir, Laura can't even do It because is dead. Dale's way to reach enlightement is different, is completely about finding his strenght by his past. If Dale is just someone for that rule, then why use the mind union? Why the machine needed exactly HIS MIND? Everything else we see comes from Laura (except the blue cube, we don't know where it comes from), so why they needed Dale?
But he started from it. Anyway read the rest.
I guess that Dale just suits
He could be the only one to take thus journey
He's smart & traumatized
The fact of overcoming himself seems valuable all in itself
Dale is believed to be the chosen one
Then why he can be replaced with Laura?
Probably he can't be completely replaced
She probably can be enlightened
But not as high as Dale
Laura seems to be there as a mean to get elixir
& as a potential sacrifice
So we're saying the same thing. But in this case, it would be a waste of time if Dale dies. Not completely, but a lot.
But he choose because Mr Owl let him know that HE CAN DECIDE! The point is: why?
You assume that Owl is completely in charge of Paradox
That may be not the case
Maybe he even tries to affect this choice
In the movie Dale knows that he would die after drinking the green one. This consequence was on TV during his choice
He just needs to know that it would also save Laura
I know, and i'm sure he choose the sacrifice. The point is that the enlighteneds should avoid to make him take this decision.
As Edd said, they may guide him but not choose for him
Also, if you drink the green vial, you always choose to die for her.
But this is impossibile, since we see the final real ending.
These 2 endings contradict each other
& create 2 different stories
We've been following just one of them
Seasons could belong to the other
The real one can't happen if Dale always choose to die.
Dale doesn't always chooses to die
In the game, it's the only way.
Why so?
You can't finish that ending without die.
I don't get your message
If you play that ending, the only thing you can do is to die to revive Laura. This can't be possible, because we wouldn't have any real ending (golden cube and elevator)!
That just means that the story may end in 2 different ways
Dale dying may be the actual way to end his story
And a waste of time for the enlighteneds.
What can they do if that's the best way?
It's not.
They are not all powerfull
I know, but also i don't understand why take this whole risk.
Do they have a choice?
No, but it's about that point that i'm not sure.
They have their limitations
Maybe they are also not that smart
They seem not to have the elixir
Their time is also limited
As soon as elixir's effect on the dog wears off they will probably die
You make me agree about that, but i was thinking that the Lake seems not.
If Dale reach enlightement, the Lake itself will get some advantages.
the most interesting thing is that the lake would seemingly prefer Laura
When?
"you cannot save her unless you sacrifice yourself. The lake will be grateful"
It could mean that the Lake will be grateful for the sacrifice itself, not for Laura's salvation.
either way Dale seems to be not the priority
Dale is the chosen one... by the Lake, i immagine.
We have no idea on what exactly the chosen one is
in Paradise Jacob seemed to be one
but who did choose him?
The Lake?
Caroline?
Nicolas?
I'm pretty sure: if the Lake receive someone else as sacrifice, It doesn't enlight him (like Caroline). Nicholas is only trying to reach it, at the point that he doesn't care who will be sacrified (he accept to switch his son with his wife, i'm sure that if Jakob would have died, he immediatly would have continued with David, Elizabeth and everyone). So, i think that the choose is by the Lake.
So, if is the Lake that choose his next governant, i don't understand why It should prefer Laura.
And i don't understand then why it make Dale decide about that thing.
Unless that is false, and only a test to see how much Dale is altruist.
Jacob getting enlightenment & all the others doing so are 2 separate rituals
They tried to sacrifice Caroline
apparently that didn't work
Jacob was crucial for their ritual
Caroline just performed another one right after
The rituals weren't so different, both got burned alive. Only, the Lake, using the memories it received shortly before, manage to enligh Jakob. Now, It has Dale's memories to enlight him. There are so much coincidences.
there was no Jacob's memories used for the ritual of Nicolas
what's more
I know you would have said that.
the elixir ritual always requires 1 sacrifice to counter 1 enlightenment
here we have 5 for 1
& no elixir
therefore, they had another source
probably less preferable
But they have not phiisical elixir
they don't
like that one Alchemist drink
Caroline saved it exclusively for Jacob
Have i ever said that Dale needs elixir?
Maybe Golden cube is his elixir
"Don't let them use my memories"
"I have withheld the last memory, the last element of the elixir"
Then, again, other coincidences. Dale can perform the same ritual of the Eilanders (the only difference Is that this time It could be direct, since the memories in the Lake are hits). What's more, he will have a CONCRETE elixir way more powerful than the drink. So, i don't see why the Lake should throw away this whole project.
Dale is the only person getting enlightenment from Laura's sacrifice
Eilanders are 5
& they had no access to Caroline' memories
therefore, no access to elixir
But the Eilanders did receive the enlightment
in the end
you gotta sacrifice the right person
How you know that?
thats the rule I guess
D Eilander
Only one known
seems to be reincarnation
Maybe he is son
well, what makes David special? He loves frog in his pants?
IDK i don't played Paradise yet , so i can't tell
if he isnt special, through induction, we can agree that the rest also received the same treatment
play it bruh
I don't understand where's the problem! The Lake is so powerful, It could "thank" the whole family to have received memories and the choosen one!
Also, this time Dale is the only One not enlightened yet, who should be enlighten more?
Mr Owl?
If Mr Owl Is called Mr Owl, Is a enlightened...
According to what I understand, Mr Owl's first main target is to reach the deva stage
then he wanted to leave the hotel and Lake to Dale
whereas Mr Crow doesnt care about next stage that much, he prefers to revive his brother
thats just what I understood from the plot
maybe I am wrong all the way through
Yeah, but becoming the whole humanoid animal thing is becoming enlightened
Not the next stage from that
therefore, how you describe the process of entering deva
We're not sure if Mr Owl wants reach dev for itself or for Dale (or both, maybe, or also every enlightened).
We havent realy had a game confirmed name for it, so realy just "become deva" lmao
I tend to think that only Dale will be able to become "It".
Yeah, we just use the whole enlightement thing because the game calls it... i think
tbh otherwise why is Mr Owl obssessed with extracting memory
I cant actualy remember where in the games they said that
like Mr Owl definatly wants something for himself
not some kinda philantropy
just randomly give enlightment
The memories are for the Lake!
true
Yeah, the lake demands sacrifices
Thats probably why he wants to get that weight off his shoulders and give it to dale
Or maybe he know that his time is limited.
but the problem is why doesnt he just abandon the lake
Ehm... To avoid apocalypse?
As in a normal human being thinking, he must want to live such as by becoming god to avoid his perish
what, the 10 plague?
All of them!!!
we dont exactly know what will happen if no one feed the lake memory
Well, that was Is rage for only 10 missing memories...
maybe this is just the punishment of wrong sacrifice rather than lack of memory
It could be way more deadly!
So basically there is one guy is responsible for the lake through all time
I think so.
first Caroline, then Jakob, and maybe Dale/Laura
Wait, so the 10 plagues were a kind of punishiment for missing a "payment"?
Caroline not, she just died.
But yes.
but then no one feed the lake back that time
Caroline must have been keep feeding the lake to avoid some sort of punishment
we know she knew the cubes
so she knew the process of dropping cubes
Imagine Caroline is a famous kidnapper near the lake
lol
The Eilanders themselves could have done this to get enlightement, and so their ancestors!
Always to find enlightement.
We don't know when exactly starts this cult.
emmmmm, I dont know
ohh, so basically the whole Eilander family uses traditional sacrifice to reach the enlightment
Trying to reach It.
I mean, at this point lets go crazy, what if the eilander family was created by the lake to serve it

However, Caroline loves Jakob so much so she wants to avoid it, she created an alternative path for the sacrifice, Elixir
maybe thats how it begins
Elixir is actually not the traditional way of getting enlighted
its the sacrifice

Wait, what?
I agree. But It was time to stop, i think.
The sacrifice of the first born is usually how to get enlighted, but Caroline decided to find another humane one
Is this interpretation reliable?
Maybe not of the first born. The Lake Just decide Who Is the choosen one.
How the Eilanders know who is the choosen one
They didn't know!
Nickolas knew it at the begining
they were decided to sacrifice Jakob at the beginign
Nicholas only want to reach enlightement, no matter Who It will be sacrified.
Then why change idea???
Because Caroline is his wife!!!
What do you mean with that?
So basically, he changed idea because he thought that if Caroline doesnt work he could try it again
Yes, we knew that already, the sacrifices were the old way to get enlightened, and then, good old jakob, now as mr.owl after his mom sacrificed herself, told the alchemist brothers about the lake and its powers, how it could create eternal life, and bla bla bla, the alchemist brothers, build their house there, and move in, focused on creating this elixir, after some time of testing, they finaly create it, a crude thing, that can only extend one's life, but, its good enought for now
yes
Sorry, i got a bit excited LMAO
thats most likely to be the story
👏 👏 👏 👏
However, the problem I encountered is
How the fuck did Caroline extract memories
including balancing the lake
also how did she manage to make her memory float everywhere on the island
In addition, how can Jakob just see the memories inside the black cube directly
Maybe by burning the person and performing some ritual? Killing the person but also extracting all the memories
I dont think so
otherwise it would be easy to extract Laura's memory
dont need a mill to do it
But mr.crow wouldnt want to burn his reincarnated brother
you assume he knew Laura is his brother
he doesnt know it most likely otherwise he would not cooperate with Mr Owl
And maybe they need to be alive for the whole burning thing to work
BRUH
debatable
god damn the real theorist is here
I am gonna run
bye
argue with him and you will get all the answers in different fucking way
Althought interesting... if i knew my reincarnated brother was depressed i would try to talk to him

the problem is it seems not to be him anymore
But, william doesnt remember anything, so it would be weird if an old man came to you and said he was your brother, and you were once a fat alchemist
yeah, a good point
Even weirder if he was in crow form
what's your goal as a theorist?
so are your really willing to avoid discussions with me?
Anyway, lets get back to business, the humanoid and full human forms are interchangable right?
(otherwise Damy is gonna murder everyone)
at least in Owl's & Crow's case
the others are unknown
Like we see in cave, where you can keep turning MR.crow into human and crow again
Yeah
Damy is like the guy from norse mithology, the one thats stays in helheim, always sharpening his sword... waiting for ragnarok
I would guess the others can also change forms, because it would be kind of hard to blend in to society looking like a 1 and a half meter tall pidgeon
Unless they all live in hiding
If they even have to blend in
they could exist on the different level of matter
True... the vanderboom kids dont seem to see MR. Crow when they traumatize albert
The poor fella
are you a fellow-advocate of a devil?
Hmmmm....😅
I'll reiterate
do you feel like Albert deserves better?
& all his misdeeds are not really his fault
I mean yeah, he was realy crapped on his whole life,
But he was kind of a dick, i mean the only guy with the ivory grave in the family cemetary lmao
I don't think that people usually chose their coffins
Rose is more likely to pick this one
perhaps a sign of love
I dunno, maybe at that time no, but last time i went to the cemitary i saw a sign saying "THIS PLACE IS RESERVED FOR ....."
So people are thinking about their resting place lmao
Yeah, althought we never get confirmation of where the cemitary is
we actually have
Near house
on the opening screen it was marked to be near the chapel
We do!? Well mistery solved lmao
While we are talking about the cemitery, i dont think that rose literaly put all the bones from the graves into a new skeleton that opened its mouth and it had a timepiece inside
I think that its just simbolic that she went graverobbing in the family cemitary until she found it
The other parts were just to make the gameplay fun
since the timepiece was last seen alongside with William's corpse & James seemed to be ignorant about those, the bones could belong to William & be disposed by his CS
What do you mean? That his corrupted soul scattered the bones in the graves as they were dug across the years?
We don't know if william has a Funeral
his body was hide inside clock
we don't know what happend next to the body
uncorrupted, not rotten
I mean that CS could hide the timepiece inside his former body & dig it down in order to be safe
Or do you agree with me that the cemitery level is just to show that she went indiana jones, but only in williams grave, that she found... somehow after his corrupted soul hid it?
which might prove that the elixir might keep the body fresh whether he is dead or alive after drinking it
Oh, sorry, didnt read your message
that seems plausible
but it's too early to tell
Yes
Im honestly just trying to think of everything i can that we never thought about lmao
All the hands (or atleast most of them) have an M or N cant remember, simbol on them, is that just the artstile or do they maybe mean something
Yeah, im probably overthinking lmao
okay i have a question
when i started to play at cube escape : paradox i was like omg this game is so cool
and there is the thing you habe to do with the tv numbers to find channels
you have to put 3 numbers
Are you asking for help?
but once I put in 3 random numbers and came across a channel that had nothing to do with the story
no
ah okay, and hm?What channel exactly?
the video was launched and there were men playing the trumpet I think (this was a few years ago)
uh..
but I can't remember those three numbers
so i was asking if someone also find it
yeah i think that too
but it was pretty scary haha
YES
That's Albert Vanderboom
aaaaaaah
its a good old throwback to Roots.
theres hints ingame ifi recall
i havent played roots yet
oh right sorry nfdbkfd
ah yes youre right
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1518513513 here's a steam guide with all the tv channels and their sources
lets keep it at that ;p
ok thanks
Is it proven that CS can teleport or Bilocate?
'cuz William in roots can be both inside well and outside well
It is not proven, since some of the CS seems linked with their Human bodies (for example Bob)
But some of them,like William or Caroline, can appear and disappear
But William has no body
Yes
Yes yes
In fact we can see William's body in one of the first levels
It proves that William's body and his CS aren't bound together
So prodably they can teleport ?
I think so.
In Seasons CS appears & dissapears pretty often.
They seem to teleport away on their defeat in The Lake & Harvey's Box.
Bob, Rabbit & Boar seemingly teleported away after breaking windows in Case 23, Theatre & The Cave respectively.
Finally, a CS seen in the forest of Paradox has disappeared several times
Ah
Laura in The Mill has disappeared on our very eyes
I guess they can do both
Most of the time they simply don't have to turn invisible
If William can do both why other can't 
Why would they?
They probably can
Did they have reasons for doing so?
CS with a body & without it seem not to differ that much in their abilities
I don't think the devs were thinking through physics of CS
If they can telleport it will be almost impossible to capture or destroy them
Mr. Owl seemingly can somehow contain them
Ay least temporarily
We have Guests being held roughly for a year, Laura was kept in the big cube, Bob wasn't willing to escape TWD
His corruption literally helped him escape the room in Paradox
NVM Paradox was in mind
He Is at risk of corruption, like Bob.
During his elevator trip he was semi-corrupted
partialy corrupted partialy not
Exactly.
Hmmm... if they can teleport it will be very hard to control them when they are freed
If you wan't prevent them for doing something you need to make them focus on something else
Maybe this is what Mr.Owl was doing in cave
He made CS focus on him to let the Dale pass
if CS know that Dale is important they could just teleport and kill him
But his suit is partialy destroyed like something attaced him...
No idea on what it was
& most importantly when
I guess, making Dale enter the cube wasn't enough
Dale was chained to the chair
So was Laura
Who did that?
The only possibilyty is mr.Owl
Maybe CS can't enter the cube
and Mr.Owl don't want Dale to go outside
Not sure is Dalr would
I guess it was in order to counter his potential corrupted form
I absolutely agree.
We don't know when Dale was inside his mind he can't be something like lunatic
Maybe he could unintencionaly walks
But Dale has no listed Sleep walking in his psychological evaluacion
In CE:Paradox
Can i somewhere found what other patients of TWD are curing for?
I dont think it was ever stated
Don't the other patient files have reasons for admittance on them.
?*
It'd have to double check
I wonder can CS even walk
do they just teleport instead of walking
(or floating lol)
Bob was acting like a normal person in TWD after all
true but he has a body isnt he?
CS is like an external layer covered on his body
so I guess he cant teleport
Case 23 disagrees with ya
Paradox kinda does as well
& even The Mill
once again
And the Roots
what about them?
William is both outside the well and inside the well
He either teleport or Bilocate
he has no body Jesus was talking about
Bob, Laura & probably Dale had
NVM my bad
But we see Bob disaper in Police Station
he turn invisible or teleport
that what I was referring to by Case 23.
I don't see any reason for doing so
Returning to the original subject, I don't really see any qualitative differences between corrupted souls & corrupted bodies
If there are any, they don't affect their behavior
the only thing they may affect is CS abilities to change samsara state
Bob seems to easily go back & forth with corruption of his. Others that we know about don't
however, there could be different reasons for that
starting with Bob leaving his human state just unofficially
& ending with soft magic & the author's desire of the story to happen
isnt that his Dream
his corruption in the PD wasn't a dream. his corruption in TWD likely wasn't a dream
his corruption in TLS likely was a dream but It could reflect the one in Theatre that might be not completely a dream/an illusion/an alteration
tls?
"The Lost Soul", i think.
👍
Whats "the lost soul" again? The bar from TWD?
the club. Most likely the imaginary one
Thanks!
I think when you die at Rusty Lake you become a corupted soul but like ghost without physical body
- then the world would be infested with corrupted souls
- some souls apparently have preserved their old bodies
- apparently you don't even have to die in order to go corrupted
- not every soul is corrupted in the 1st place
I said at Rusty Lake. We see it happen with William, Emma and Samuel and Ida. I think when someone dies there death as a bad memory turns them into a corupted soul. We see that when a person dies they do leave a memory of that (Van Gogh)
among these 4 only one is confirmed to become a CS
Emma seems to become just a free souls for a time being
the fate of the others is unknown
Ok but the CS that you get from extracting memories all have bodies right?
not necessarily
there are different ways of corruption
Lauras CS and Bobs one teleported i think
memory extraction is just 1 of them & it's not even a guarantee of corruption, according to Owl's letter
I think the person if alive has to be aware of the extraction. Bob wasn't aware of his extraction(we see his cube in one of the days) and so he flickered between noraml and corupted state
I don't think even they have a set in stone lure about everything
then there's even less reasons for coming up with such specific rules
Do you think the devs have came up with a specific set of rules for the characteristic of the CS?
im going to say probably not.
They all black
bruh
something general at most
ye i mean they're all black, but some are bound to bodies, others stuck in tubes attached to cubes
I dunno seems a bit random 
but who knows!
Some have no body, some are on living humans
I think all of them are connected to their painful experience
this experience is stored in black cubes
they are connected to them even when the cubes are away
Black cubes are created when you etract bad memories
CS are also "created" in that procces
not necessarily. for both statements
I also think they are connected. In the cave we see Owl "pacify" them by holding the cubes
how so this is exactly what we see in the games X D
- in Theatre we've seen cubes being stored directly in brains
- "use the machine wisely. Extraction of bad memories COULD lead to corruption of the body"
the events of theatre and birthday are not 100% truth. they are inside Dales memories he even says it"The lake is changing my memories, my past isn't what it seems to be"
that doesn't mean that the lake would change 100% of them
Like Theatre as place was real
of course but in reality what probably happened is that bob was drunk there and dale just arested him without actually taking cubes from his brain
Dale DID NOT suspect Bob in any way. His only point of interest was the lake
But his job requires him to take Bob to intterogacion
I guess
He was arested during case 23 which happens after the real events of theatre
And for anything
what? he was in dales office
no, the officer was talking about the woman
have you played the white door secrets?
he was in police department
outside his office
yea i think it was probably a bar irl. why would you get drunk in a theatre lol
probably because someone powerful was interested in you
Bob was prodably interrogatet 'cuz he was one of closest people to Laura
the officer believed him to kill Laura
Yeah, bob is a prime suspect for laura's murder, so dale has to arrest or interrogate him or whatever as a cover to his lake research, because if he came to the police station and said "yeah, i went to the crime scene and all this weird shit happened, body came back to life then dissapeared, il stay in my room and research a lake for a bit" would get his partners... worried
Bob was Laura's (maybe) BF
however, Dale was investigating exclusively the lake. There was no evidence on Bob on Dale's mind map. Even in Paradox inside his mind there was nothing but a book that was telling about Bob's innocence
Well , Bob will have motive for killing Laura, Revenge for broke up
bob is probably the only happy person right now
when is "right now"?
that is a real book bob wrote
after the white door
Is that even a real book?
that is a very interesting question i dont know how to answer but we see its a real book at the end of the white door
Where?
I know that. Thx
Yes, thats what i said, dale was just interogating bob as a cover so he could research the lake in his office in the police department
it was probably a bit of both. after all bob knows almost nothing about the lake
was the name of the girl in the white door sarah?
I'd rather assume that Bob was sent to the PD by Mr. Owl as a part of his challenge of finding cubes he mentioned in The Mill letter
what does PD stand for?
there was also a policeman.. they arested him for sure
oh i cant wait to see dale in the hotel
well he didn't do anything so idk why he would surrender for something he didnt do
He was drunk
He can be easly manipulated
Yeah i dont see why he would say he killed her... when he didnt
OR they just suspected him and arested him XD seems more logical
Yeah, he was her ex boyfriend, so they thought it could have been some kind kind of revenge murder or something
or once again, the whole situation could be under Owl's control
Why tho.. Owl was interested with bob probably because of his relationship with Laura. Also weirdly enough Dale said "I need your memory" implying he already knew some stuff about rusty lake
Bob could be there just in order for Dale to be able to get that freaking cube
If Bob was arrested for longer, he wouldn't show up in TWD on august 13
Didn't he escaped?
while TWD was aware about him long before
he just vanished like they always do
don't you hate it when your suspect just vanishes
people don't usually go corrupted so suddenly
Well , something happend to him in Theatre
Would Mr. Owl risk Bob if he wasn't so sure that he returns back to him?
he does go in the white door after case 23 since he has memories from it
Bob was in Owl possession already in Theatre (more than half a year before the scene of Case 23). Once again would Mr. Owl risk losing him for the reason of his arrest if he wasn't sure that Bob would escape & came directly back to him?
thats a bit weird if we see Bob before case 23 tbh
Why are you saying that Bob was already under Jakob's control?
Dale be like: I dont even know who you are
dale is a sad boi 😦
Not as Bob.
bob is now happy and is with sarah. dale still in that damn elevator
true
he is like a loser in all persepective which is a pity
which is kinda sad
He'll be at the Hotel at the end of the year...
dale is in the lake which is full of FISH. he is mentally dying
the fish probably bully him
he is a fish hunter
nah he hates them
he is scared of the fish but brutally kill them
well....you will get it
if you know me
but thats not importatnt
i love his face when he finds the fish in paradox film
oh my the theory ppl are all coming
Owl was already interested in Bob. He already had their calling card & experienced some weird stuff in Theatre
Are you gonna continue on fish god?
no
