paradox-game

[zealous yew]

XD

[versed moth]

tbh wheejbeej

[zealous yew]

but that means

we are at least 1000 searching for it

idk if it counts everybody that has the game or just the ones that bought the chap2

but there are at least 1000 player total

which means at least 10 people got the chap 2 secret ending

which is good news for me

:3

But I don't know the total players so I can't be sure

[ruby jay]

Is there a symbol hidden on the painting in the film? I can't find a shot where I can see it clearly.

[zealous yew]

there is

it's on the chair

but it's a small and thin symbol

[ruby jay]

Yeh I can see something on the chair but I can't make it out

The line?

|

[zealous yew]

almost

[lilac grail]

Those 26 people... 😢

[zealous yew]

reversed T

[ruby jay]

Ah thanks.

(this isn't cheating I knew it was there!)

[zealous yew]

Yeah that's why i gave it to you

otherwise I wouldn't have told you

wait no

I'M DUMB

@ruby jay

[ruby jay]

?

[zealous yew]

It's the arrow-triangle-thingy

[ruby jay]

The one that ooks like an umbrella?

[zealous yew]

yeah

And don't worry if the code looks weird

it's normal

It's made to make you doubt

[ruby jay]

Do yu mean it has a double symbol?

[zealous yew]

It's even weirder than that x)

[ruby jay]

two double symbols, you never need the last symbol 😛

[zealous yew]

I know

I told you

it's made to make you doubt

[ruby jay]

So what are these secret achievements y'all were talking about?

[vapid rapids]

Paradise achievement? 🤔

[ruby jay]

What do you mean?

@vapid rapids

[vapid rapids]

I saw them talking about paradise achievement... what are you guys talking about?

[ruby jay]

@zealous yew

[vocal raven]

It's an achievement on Steam

It's related to the Owl Mask, according to the steam achievement picture. It can be found on Chapter 2, and only 0.1% of players have it.

[ruby jay]

So it's exclusive to Steam?

lame

[vapid rapids]

Ooooh ok

[zealous yew]

The "right place" "paradise" and "movie Dale" achievements
I've got the first one

[ruby jay]

@zealous yew are the Steam exclusive?

[zealous yew]

Yup

[ruby jay]

Has anyone found a use for the Golden Cube yet?

[vocal raven]

Is the golden cube the one from the Chapter 2 achievements?

[ruby jay]

Yes

[vocal raven]

Have you used the eyes already?

[ruby jay]

Yes

I haven't gone to the end of Chapter 2 with the cube yet, I was just interested if anyone has actually used it yet.

[vocal raven]

I have but I don't remember what for, I just started clicking because I was excited hah

[ruby jay]

Okay, thanks

[vocal raven]

Try clicking on the skull, something should move

[ruby jay]

I got through that whole bit with Mr. Bat and the Elevator, I didn't think that used the cube though.

That just used the Diamond eyes

[vocal raven]

I'll have to play again then, I didn't pay enough attention

You're right, it didn't use the cube

[ruby jay]

I've been informed it disappears when you go through the door so it's use has to be in the room.

[vocal raven]

oof

When looking in the mirror with the cube selected, Dale isn't showing anything

[proper turret]

has anyone played through the game more than once?

[ruby jay]

Yeah I noticed that too

I thught maybe it could go in his head

you can't give it to the hand either

[vocal raven]

I've played like 5 times already

[ruby jay]

@fickle ridge Has played it through more than once.

[proper turret]

are there any parts of the game that change?

[vocal raven]

Not that I can think of

[ruby jay]

If you unlock all the achievments you can get an alternate ending.

[proper turret]

thank ya kindly

[vocal raven]

Yeah

If you open the game and input the secret code you can beat chapter 2 in like 30 seconds

[ruby jay]

It's Chapter 1

Chapter 2 gives you that bit with the Elevator, Chapter 1 gives you a different ending and an alterante end to the film.

[vocal raven]

I mean, the elevator ending is still an ending :P

[ruby jay]

I guess but the Chapter 1 ending is better.

[vapid rapids]

So... any solutions to the golden cube?

[ruby jay]

I went through the whole of chapter 2 and found nothing.

[vapid rapids]

Me too

[ruby jay]

I tried the Golden cube with everything I could think of.

I wonder if there's a clue hidden in the film

[cinder olive]

I somehow think the birch trees in the forest have something to do with the Paradise achievement, since the same kind of trees were on the island. But I have no idea how I have to interact with them.

also I put the diamond eyes into the deer skull but nothing happened

oh wait nvm my bad just forgot to defocus

[vocal raven]

Idk if you read the spoilers channel, but I've been snooping through the translation files and there's two items, one called Film Tape 2 and one called Owl Mask. I haven't found any of them in game either, though.

The thing is, if you use the first film tape on the projector, you can't interact with it anymore, only to solve the puzzle and turn it on/off, but you can't take the reel off. So that leads me to believe that this achievement has something to do with that film tape, and that it has to be done before putting the other tape in

But yeah, can't find it for my life. I wish the devs would give us a little hint, just a nod in the right direction :p

They do have the achievement on steam

[dense sundial]

Alright, I am not so tired anymore and I can try my best to figure out how to get it cause I am missing the last one which is Paradise achievement.

[orchid cedar]

@blazing palm Just finished the game and watched the movie. I absolutely loved everything about this - being involved via kickstart funding, the hype and build up, and the final products which 100000% exceeded expectations! Well done to everyone involved with the game and film - I loved playing the game and adored the movie. The lore of Rusty Lake would make for a great feature length production!

[red prawn]

@vocal raven are those tapes from part 1?

Or 2?

[timber lichen]

Hello, did you guys find out Paradise yet?

[celest zenith]

Can anyone help me with lobster donkey

It's the last thing i need

[wooden oracle]

In chapter one?

[zealous yew]

Lobster donk- wtf are you talking about ?

[wooden oracle]

Go to chapter one and use the tv and change it to 551 @zealous yew

[timber lichen]

guys, about the "Bobs's Story" one.

I realize the code is the same from the code on Case 23

but is there a movie part that also references to that?

Because i can't find it

[zealous yew]

ugh... what's the code for the tape, again ?...

I really don't want to do everything just to get that tv x)

[timber lichen]

669?

[zealous yew]

no the 5 symbols

[timber lichen]

ahn right

i think i have it memorized

circle with dot, S, triangle crossed, Z, spiral

if it's not triangle crossed, it's square crossed

[zealous yew]

Thanks

@wooden oracle
How were you supposed to know for 551 ?

[celest zenith]

Chapter 1 also said lobster donkey... wtf

[wooden oracle]

Beats me. Someone just told me yesterday about it

[zealous yew]

Ok, I thought it was the phonetic alphabet, but no, it would be Lima Delta...

[celest zenith]

I tried it at chapter 2 and the same thing happened....

[wooden oracle]

My bet is it’s just a gag that the actor made on set while practicing or something

[zealous yew]

hnnnn

[celest zenith]

How the heck should i get that code...

[zealous yew]

ok so it's not with the typing machine...

The only thing I got is the intro of the film The Lobster, where a woman shoots a donkey .-.

[wooden oracle]

Same.

[celest zenith]

It's the only thing I'm missing...

[vapid rapids]

@zealous yew and the song from the b-52’s called rock lobster that you can play in a donkey kong game

[zealous yew]

huuuh...

252 doesn't do anything

[celest zenith]

Can someone pls get me when u solve that lobster donkey thing

[vapid rapids]

Yep

[timber lichen]

wait

how exactly did you guys get to the number 551

[vapid rapids]

I’ve been playing this game for the last 2 days. I close my eyes and i see the game. 😂

[timber lichen]

were you actually trying each one?

[vapid rapids]

Yes

We tried all the numbers 😂

[timber lichen]

holy

[vapid rapids]

Easier than trying all the combinations of symbols HAHAHHA

[timber lichen]

is there a list of working ones?

[zealous yew]

I'm a madman, I'll do all 1000 channels

[timber lichen]

1000?

[vapid rapids]

Yesssss, i told some of them at #cube-escape-series-help

Yep

1000 combinations of the 3 number sequence with numbers from 0 to 9

[blazing palm]

@orchid cedar Awesome to hear!! 😄

@vapid rapids hahah wow

[zealous yew]

012 : channel 67

067 : a place to empty the mind "the lake"

[wooden oracle]

I have a photo of all working channels I found

[zealous yew]

133 : "the lake", a comic being drawn with a TV and "133" written on it, then a black cube

[wooden oracle]

726

[zealous yew]

137 : 2 seconds of the beginning of what's on 067, for some reason

[vapid rapids]

@blazing palm 👀 oh hi there 💕💕💕

[blazing palm]

pls keep that in #cube-escape-series-help 😃

[zealous yew]

158 : family band IRL °-°

[vapid rapids]

I LOVE THAT CHANNEL

[zealous yew]

That was weird

[vapid rapids]

let’s move to spoilersssss

[zealous yew]

yeah

[blazing palm]

thanks guys

[wooden oracle]

Give me some time @blazing palm and I’ll photoshop a lobster donkey 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[blazing palm]

haha

[wooden oracle]

If I can figure out how to master adobe photoshop

[vapid rapids]

Try drawing one 🤣

[wooden oracle]

Drawing skills are horrible

🤣

[vapid rapids]

That’s the best part of this

T r y

🤣🤣🤣

Good things come from terrible drawing skills. Do what you can with the tools you have. Doodle it 😎

[blazing palm]

We also want to see it 😎

[wooden oracle]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What’s the story behind the lobster donkey thing was it just the actor practicing or something?

[vapid rapids]

I love how he is trying hard not to laugh

HHAHAHA

[wooden oracle]

Should I photoshop a donkeys head on a lobster or a lobsters head on a donkey?

[cinder olive]

it's definetly my favourite clip from the TV

by the way, I found out that the family band clip was the winner of the 5 second clip contest (or one of the winners. don't know how many there are), because I saw his clip on his Instagram 😄

[vapid rapids]

Make a humanoid donkey with lobster claws

Put the donkeys head on a human body 👀

[wooden oracle]

It’s a lobster donkey not a lobster human

[vapid rapids]

But in the game mr crow and the staff are all tall and stuff. Try combinations with donkey and lobster on a human body 👀 not the best idea but it’s interesting

[wooden oracle]

Teachers late to school 🤣 so we’re in another teachers room doing nothing

Lol

[cinder olive]

sounds like time to search for the Paradise achievement 😄

[cosmic ridge]

mr. lobster donkey peepo

[hazy wren]

If anyone wants to watch, Dexbonus is going to stream her game play of Paradox

[trim lotus]

is there a guide for all the secret achievements

probably too early but

I only got one so far 😂

[dense sundial]

yeah, there is two on steam, but one of them is in written in russian

[trim lotus]

do the achievements give you a cute little star like in paradise? 👀

[dense sundial]

hmm... actually wait, I know finishing Chapter 1 achievement does
but I need to see if Chapter 2 also does

alright, It gives you two litte stars
one for chapter 1 and one for chapter 2

[trim lotus]

ooh

thanks

[dense sundial]

np!

[trim lotus]

anyone else love the way David talks on the phone

he sounds so sassy

it's a certain accent also but I can't think of which one

[vapid rapids]

He looks so pissed like “let’s find out why the hell am i stuck inside another damn room again”

[teal grove]

oh god what did i do

[dense sundial]

Oh my God dude...

[teal grove]

i will never be locked in a room again

is there a way to report that as a bug?

[trim lotus]

you broke the lake

[teal grove]

assuming it is a bug?

[dense sundial]

Mr. Crow: grabs one of the keys Gimmie that!
Dale: pulls another key from his pocket

[teal grove]

the key just fell and i picked it up twice

then if i just clicked the area more and more it kept giving me more and more keys

[vapid rapids]

HAHAHAHAHAHA omg

[vocal raven]

Can you get four item bars? 👀

[vapid rapids]

I got three item bars today

[vocal raven]

I did yesterday too

[teal grove]

after i complete the game i'll go back and check

[brazen oriole]

In roots i got two gas masks

[teal grove]

just incase there's a limit to how many items you can get

[dense sundial]

@brazen oriole well, one for Leonard and one for yourself it seems 😂

but to items I think it's max. three item bars... or maybe four...?

[vapid rapids]

ELEVEN KEYS

Yes it’s a bug

[arctic burrow]

😂

[vapid rapids]

If you keep clicking it will give you a lot of keys

[teal grove]

is there a bug report channel?

i guess it doesn't matter too much but i was seriously worried i wouldn't have inventory space for other stuff

and broke the game

[vapid rapids]

I guess you can talk directly to @blazing palm

Here

Maybe

[zealous yew]

@vapid rapids
Yay, it's the same kind of bug than the seed in roots

In the Alchemist chapters,
Go in the room with the seed
A seed appears
Take the seed
Go back a room
Repeat

You can get infinite seeds

it does the same visual glitch

I already talked about it on this server

[vapid rapids]

HAHAHA it happens

I finally got all steam achievements

[zealous yew]

Yay

[arctic burrow]

Gratz

[zealous yew]

And I speedrunned the chapter so badly, it was painful for the game

I still had the stressed brain in my inventory XD

the thing is

the TV isn't just a video

it's a trigger

If you enter the past and immidialtly watch channel 369, you won't have to take the phone or play hide and seek

It saves so much time

[arctic burrow]

There are a lot of strange triggers

Good thing that they don't break the game, only allow to you to skip some minigames or get 2 cigars and a few tons of keys xD

[frank moat]

I was playing paradox in the car and it was the part where Mr crow was talking and my mom goes "that sounds like jigsaw"

[zealous yew]

@arctic burrow
They don't break the game...
Except channel 207

[arctic burrow]

What is on 207?

Oh

Okay

Yep

It broke my game too

...but...

in a very strange way

I played till the moment I needed this chnnel

I chose it

And decided to turn the music and sounds off before video ended...

Ugh

It didn't turn the sounds off

In fact it started playing audio from random channels

[gray loom]

Oh yeah my games been doing that too

[timber lichen]

guys, i need some help

I can't dial "0" on the phone.

[ruby hare]

Hm

Whose number?

[timber lichen]

the chapter 2 movie achievement 4

i need to dial numbers from 3 places from the movie

the book one is 2604 unless i'm blind

and i cant dial 0

it doesn't get registered

[ruby hare]

Oh haven't gotten there yet

Hand on let's see

[zealous yew]

the 0 isn't programmed

idk why

[timber lichen]

then

why does it ask us to dial 0?

it's 2604 in there, isn't it?

[zealous yew]

where ?

oh

no

ok

[zealous yew]

you have to add the 3 numbers together

[timber lichen]

OH

Right

i thought like... concatenation

[ruby hare]

But yeah the zero doesn't work on mine either

[timber lichen]

I... im a very sad web developer, i'm used to think "+" as concatenation due to JavaScript

Thank you guys

[zealous yew]

they just didn't code the 0 because it's never used

[timber lichen]

Btw, any news on Lobster Donkey?

[zealous yew]

nope

[timber lichen]

holy shit

i think it's a leftover of something planned that didn't make the cut

[zealous yew]

except that it's slowly spreading on twitter

[timber lichen]

lmao

[burnt gale]

FELIX THE CONCATENATION THING IS A MOOD

[timber lichen]

what

a "mood"?

[burnt gale]

I also tried to concatenate the numbers instead of (adding? whatst he word in english aaa) them!

[timber lichen]

oh right, yes it is

[burnt gale]

oh sorry, Im studyign computer science and I thought the same thing as you, thats what I meant lmao

[timber lichen]

yes yes i understood it now dont worry

[burnt gale]

Also yes, we are gonna take over the world with Lobster Donkey

[timber lichen]

and yeah adding is correct.

For those who play it on Steam, i'm working on two guides in there.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1517686749

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1518513513

[zealous yew]

THE SECOND IS WRONG

the brains don't influence the channels

some triggers do

[timber lichen]

It's uh... slower than the russian one because somehow this has become a race. pony finished his first and then everyone decided to just translate from him before i can even finish mine lmao.

I don't like rushing things, i like to add detail, pictures, through explanation, etc.

Not to mention the game was released on a very bad time in my life, work is up my neck.

hm

[zealous yew]

but the brains are not triggers

[timber lichen]

so there's no difference being on chapter 1 or 2?

i realize some of them only gives achievements on chapter 2

but that's it.

anything else?

[zealous yew]

there are differences between chapter 1 and 2

but only the plot related channels

[timber lichen]

that's what i needed. I'm working alone on these.

[zealous yew]

the easter eggs and achievements are the same

[timber lichen]

Do you mind sending me some info on discord PM or the guide comments itself?

I'll credit ya for the help.

i can also add ya as a contributor on the TV Channels one if you're inclined to.

I'm not even sure what i'm missing about the channels

[zealous yew]

Summary of every single TV channels in Paradox :

Always active (for achievements and easter eggs) :

133 : A comic of the different scenes on TV in the movie being drawn, a TV with "133" on it, and a black cube
158 : Roots's "family band" level with actors
247 : Dead Bob
315 : Rusty Lake postcard and landscape
465 : End of chapter 2 with actors
551 : Lobster Donkey
566 : Chapel
726 : Albert Vanderboom
749 : Dale with a deer mask in the Lake

Chapter exclusives (puzzle clues)
Chapter 1 :

012 : "Channel 67"
067 : "A place to empty the mind", "the lake"
137 : 2 seconds of the beginning of what's on 067, for some reasons...
588 : Crow, Dale, Laura, Vial, Soul
669 : "Channel 12"
910 : Screen curtain, "look behind you"

Chapter 2 (brains do not affect the channels) :

207 : Laura flashing, makes old Laura appear (DO NOT check this channel until you're told to. Since it's the last one you're supposed to look, the TV will be unusable and your game will be softlocked)
278 : Fish drawer clue
369 : David Eilander
412 : RL flyer clue
492 : Screen curtain clue
879 : Red box clue
945 : "Burn your soul" (has to be triggered with the postcard)

[timber lichen]

Perfect, i love you.

gonna save this info here

[zealous yew]

I checked the 2000 channels myself

and beware of channel 207

[timber lichen]

Your labor will not be in vain, my friend

why

oh lol i've read it now

i wonder if it's a bug or a trap?

[zealous yew]

DON'T use this channel until the end of the future

idk

more of a poor planning for speedrunners

they just didn't think anyone would activate it right when they start the game

or before you're supposed to

[timber lichen]

i see

it could be a trap, tbh

[zealous yew]

idk

[timber lichen]

if i was the developer i'd leave it like this

even if it is a bug

[zealous yew]

yeah, true x)

[timber lichen]

Uh

i have a few questions about the easter egg ones

i know where you can find the number for most of them

[zealous yew]

sure, go ahead

[timber lichen]

But how do you find the number for 158 (family band)? And 551... oh right that's lobster donkey, nevermind

[zealous yew]

oh

you have to mess with the TV

there is no other way

[timber lichen]

do i stick my pee pee on it?

[zealous yew]

wtf

[timber lichen]

oh right i thought you had to touch the tv until it broke something off

just kidding

I meant where you can originally find the hint to turn on channel 158?

[zealous yew]

it's just there for those who are willing to check 1000 channels

[timber lichen]

maybe it is, but maybe it's a leftover

or it comes from the same place as lobster donkey

[zealous yew]

I'm talking about family band

[timber lichen]

i realize, my friend

[zealous yew]

or there is a code in this level

maybe

[timber lichen]

i meant that maybe they were planned to have a hint for that, but then it was cut.

But they forgot to remove the channel

remember that there's one channel that is like... just 2 seconds of channel 67?

it looks very leftoverish

[zealous yew]

that's what happened for channel 137, in chapter 1

[timber lichen]

137 works for chapter 2?

[zealous yew]

yeah you're quicker than me

no, it doesn't

since it's plot related

[timber lichen]

i see. at least that one is probably a bug or a leftover

alright, thank you

Do you use steam for the game?

just for the credits

[zealous yew]

I use steam, yeah

why ?

[timber lichen]

just to add a link to you in the credits section

[zealous yew]

oh ok

[timber lichen]

oh and um

[zealous yew]

wait what credits ?

[timber lichen]

credits for helping me to fix the guide

[zealous yew]

oh

[timber lichen]

look, it's alright if you dont want to

[zealous yew]

right

[timber lichen]

lol

And uh

when i dial 77772 it tells me to call the director

i assume he's in the cards section, right?

what's his name

[dense sundial]

he's in the movie, but idk if he's in the cards section

[timber lichen]

ooooh right i'm stupid

in the credits section, right

[dense sundial]

mhm

[zealous yew]

wait

wtf happened to my game ?

[timber lichen]

That's a known bug. it happens when you give him the hat before getting the cigar from the tray

[zealous yew]

I don't even have the hat

[timber lichen]

because the game is programmed to add the cigar to your inventory when you give him the hat

if you didn't get the cigar from the ashtray prior to that

you'll eventually end up with two cigars

well, that's how it happened for me.

[zealous yew]

I don't have the hat

I used the code to get the tape and played with every channel

quit the game

entered again

and I had the cigar...

[timber lichen]

maybe because when you quit the game, it records your progress with internal cvars, that's how flash works

it could be that the game is programmed to give you some items on inventory depending on what cvar it reads

[zealous yew]

wow, the programming of this game, guys...
all those trigger bugs XD

[timber lichen]

and it was just a programmer overlook to ASSUME that you HAD the cigar if you GET the tape

well, you're rushing in to get things ahead of time, so expect bugs

that's speedrunners territory

Softlocking, double items etc is part of everyday life

[zealous yew]

I know, I planned the quickest route using triggers for chapter 2
about 10 minutes instead of an hour

[timber lichen]

yes this is interesting

i believe this is the first RL/CE game to have that mechanic

which makes sense with the THEME of the game

it's a paradox, you keep coming back, with pre-aware knowledge

[zealous yew]

it's not the first

[timber lichen]

no?

maybe i didnt try hard enough on the previous ones

[zealous yew]

it's the first where you can abuse it to a point where it's just ridiculus

but there were some skips in earlier CE

[timber lichen]

i remember trying to cut ends in all of them

[red prawn]

directors name is sean

[timber lichen]

Thanks Dale

[zealous yew]

I mean if you know the code, you don't have to do the puzzle that gives it to you

[timber lichen]

Well, it kinda ruins the fun, it's actually very easy for the game to lock you in a way where the code doesn't work if you haven't triggered something yet. Still, they did that on purpose, i like to think it's because of the theme of "Keep coming back"

[zealous yew]

They did the trigger bloc for "burn your soul"

you can't burn the painting if you don't activate the channel

but you can't activate the channel if you didn't complete the postcard

otherwise it's just snow

Same for the golden key in chapter 1

you have to have it
so you need "The woman"
but it's blocked if you don't finish the picture

but with the codes and the TV triggers

you can just abuse your way out of the game

Actually 27karrot did a run with the exact same route i calculated (he even figured how to cut even more corners)

[timber lichen]

oh

do you guys know

[zealous yew]

wait no

wrong run

[timber lichen]

where the channel 133 come from? (the comic one with cube etc)

[zealous yew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnN00mZFEhM

same, you just have to find it

[timber lichen]

I've updated the TV Channels guide. Thank you.

Btw i'd like to inform something

726 (Albert doing voodoo) triggers the achievement even in Chapter 1.

i checked myself. Though i cannot be sure if it activates for people who dont have the DLC

I'll ask my friend to test it later

[zealous yew]

also, i don't know why

but the sound on the TV isn't considered either "music" or "sound"

even if you mute the game, you can still hear the channels talk

[timber lichen]

That's just a programming overlook.

Trust me, i've got to work on codes with lots of stuff like that

[zealous yew]

I FORGOT

[timber lichen]

hm?

[zealous yew]

I forgot one channel

[timber lichen]

oh which one

[zealous yew]

but it has to be triggered

that's why i played chapter 1 just to be sure

[timber lichen]

tell me about it, please

[zealous yew]

wait no

i'm dumb

I already wrote it

[timber lichen]

alright

If you dont mind, check if everything is in there, please
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1518513513

[zealous yew]

ok

is there a way to change that title ?

or subtitle

because I already told you, it doesn't depend on the brains

[timber lichen]

oh right

my mistake

[zealous yew]

Like get rid of
"And in case of chapter 2, it has even more hidden channels depending on which "Brain" you use."
"no matter what chapter, brain, or whatever you're using."
and others like that

also, you forgot a H in cHapel

[timber lichen]

Thanks, fixed all of those

Thanks for spotting the typo. I did most of these guides under sleep deprivation.

[zealous yew]

x)

[vapid rapids]

@timber lichen i forgot to add you😂😂😂😂😂 perdoa eu

[timber lichen]

@vapid rapids I assumed you either forgot or i was a bit too annoying

Alright, guys, i need some help in here

I just want to know what i'm supposed to watch in the movie on the number 1 and 5. Please dont spoil me, just tell me what are those things depicted.

[dense sundial]

you mean, where you can find the symbols?

[zealous yew]

1 is the side of the TV

5 is some square inside a cage
hint hint

[timber lichen]

oh thanks, when i look at the number 1, all i see is a mug with a VERY THIN handle lmao

5 made me confused because the lines are horizontal.

and yeah that's what i meant. Thanks guys.

Aw

Dale looks much classier with a red tie. I wish his coat was black tho

Brown doesn't go well with red tie.

We have an optional hat and an optional tie that makes no difference on the story.

Rusty Lake Dressing Simulator when?

I wanna wear Mr. Crow with the tiniest top hat i can find

@blazing palm I humbly ask for a game where Mr Crow uses a very tiny top hat.

[burnt gale]

DALE DRESS UP GAME WHEN????

[zealous yew]

like a hidden minigame where you can dress up the characters and it actualy makes them wear that in game

[timber lichen]

The hat is never there, it's not even a hat

A tie of relaxation, to empty the mind

There will be shoes.

[red prawn]

👌 😎

[trim lotus]

My friend who doesn’t play rusty lake reacting to Mr. Crow’s beak being too big to drink the coffee

[zealous yew]

well he theoretically already sips arsenic and other poisons to stay eternal

[trim lotus]

Did anyone else do this

[zealous yew]

wtf

[dense sundial]

Omg... why--

[vapid rapids]

XD

[zealous yew]

XD

[vapid rapids]

this just reminds me of one thing..

[trim lotus]

She’s judging me

[vapid rapids]

hold on..

[dense sundial]

Laura doesn't really trust Dale

[burnt gale]

Distrust™

[vapid rapids]

they should make this an emote...XD

[dense sundial]

I showed Laura from Paradox to my friend (which doesn't really knows much about RL) and...

[red prawn]

Hey, with the achievement endings, in part 1, what's the clip about, and in part 2, what can you win

[zealous yew]

I mean he's not wrong

[red prawn]

Ûhhhh

[dense sundial]

she's* but I started laughing so hard that I couldn't catch breath for a while

[zealous yew]

x)

[dense sundial]

But @red prawn Idk if it's good Idea to tell what the clip from chapter 1 is about here I mean... could be still kind of spoilery for someone who wants to get the achievements...?

[red prawn]

#cube-escape-series-help

[vocal raven]

okay can we make cyclops Laura an emote?

that instead of 👀

[dense sundial]

oh yes please

[red prawn]

10/10 would read your idea again

[teal grove]

ok but could i please get a reference for how exactly dale was moving her face around?

i was thinking about this when playing that segment

did he just grab her cheeks and start twisting them

or like

[dense sundial]

All things we need in life:

• Dale
• Lobster Donkey
• Cyclops Laura

[teal grove]

was it like moving the conveyer on a treadmill

you had to slide her face along

[red prawn]

Do i have to change my name

Ok i did

Cuz lobster donkey

[zealous yew]

OH

I love you

❤ 🐴

[arctic burrow]

Jeez, I love this bug 😄 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1519891615

[red prawn]

Screenshot plez

Cuz im on 4g

[zealous yew]

There is another way, by getting the tape early

[arctic burrow]

That's how I got it 4 times already 😄

@red prawn 1 more Lobster Donkey 😃

[zealous yew]

either getting the tape or the hat will give you a double cigar

it's weird

[red prawn]

👌

[arctic burrow]

Hat doesn't give you it 😦

[blazing palm]

Haha 😄

perhaps we need to keep this one then

[proper turret]

i very much enjoyed the variety of puzzles in this one

they were unique and polished... for the most part

[blazing palm]

😃 happy to hear

which one did you like the most

[proper turret]

well im pretty sure you didnt give them names 😛

but the one where your in the brain

i would love to play an entire game based off the concept

[hybrid prawn]

Brain Tower Defense

Or maybe just Brain Defense

[arctic burrow]

Yep, keep it, pls xD

[proper turret]

if i saw a game called brain tower defense id jump on the train right away out of sheer wonder

[blazing palm]

haha 😄

[arctic burrow]

@blazing palm Can you fix the description of the Blue and Green vial achievements on Steam? They are mixed up. A LOT of people got confused by that.

[proper turret]

^

[red prawn]

^

[proper turret]

i kinda figured it was on purpose for some reason so i didnt say anything

[red prawn]

Åñd tęll ûs whãt a lobster donkey is

[zealous yew]

Or if it has anything to do with... anything in the game

At least tell us if we have to keep on searching or if we're just trying to decrypt an inside joke XD

[proper turret]

what if the joke was that its all meaningless

[red prawn]

HAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

[zealous yew]

wow

[red prawn]

Please no

[arctic burrow]

Please yes

[proper turret]

there is no dale and there is no game

[red prawn]

👌 👌 👌 👌 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[arctic burrow]

PLEASE YES

[dense sundial]

are we back at "It's all hallucination"?

[zealous yew]

so the joke would be on us, theorizers...

hope these games keep getting weirder. also hope a clearer story is made in later games

[red prawn]

#paradox-film

Halp

[zealous yew]

@proper turret
As I said in #cube-escape-series-help, and for reasons that will stay in this channel, I think the next one will be just as weird, but in a different way
Like not in a fever dream way like we had here
And we'll go back to the main plot

[red prawn]

I wonder if it will be a free game of premium

[vapid rapids]

@blazing palm i love when there’s the tower of hanoi puzzle HAHAH such an old puzzle but i love it

[arctic burrow]

I'm ready to pay 😄 👌

[red prawn]

We need a harvey game

Premium*

[zealous yew]

@vapid rapids

I love you

[vocal raven]

I liked the Hanoi puzzle but most times I'd drag a book and it'd completely miss

[zealous yew]

❤ - ❤

[vapid rapids]

HANOI PUZZLE IS AMAZING

THAT’S IT

[red prawn]

Nah

[arctic burrow]

I came to the point where I complete this puzzle automatically xD

[dense sundial]

Ah, Hanoi puzzle... I really loved it when I saw it on Paradox

[zealous yew]

IT IS

[red prawn]

3ez5me

[vapid rapids]

Yeah it is. Bye.

[arctic burrow]

[red prawn]

[proper turret]

aye i agree i was so excited

[vapid rapids]

Always wanted to learn russian... just gave up

[arctic burrow]

Почему?

I only know letters and some words... XD

[hybrid prawn]

[red prawn]

Favorite track?

[arctic burrow]

I hope some good words 🙄

[dense sundial]

but if it comes to writing - oh hell no

[hybrid prawn]

Oh boy

I can never pick favorites when it comes to music 😂

[red prawn]

I think the lake is awesome

[blazing palm]

@arctic burrow FIXED, sorry guys 😃

https://victorbutzelaar.bandcamp.com/album/rusty-lake-paradox

Hope you guys can support Victor's work 😃

You can also listen to the album for free!

[arctic burrow]

Great, thx!

[zealous yew]

Ok, the minigame is literally called "Brain defense"
I love it XD

[arctic burrow]

Well that's what you do xD

[zealous yew]

Yeah but x)

[robust snow]

I loved those achivment things! It was totally worth it to watch that movie again and again!

[zealous yew]

yup

[tropic flicker]

yee

[ruby jay]

Nyeeeeeh!

[zealous yew]

that's what I thought
either there is a code programmed in this game, but they still didn't give it to us

or it's just a "to be continued" and we'll use it in another game

[south merlin]

@blazing palm is there a reason why the game sort of lags or has a slight pause during parts of the game? primarily during the slider puzzles and telephone and such

or is there some way to fix that

[blazing palm]

On what device are you playing>

[south merlin]

i've played on all 3 devices: steam, ios and android

and the lag kinda persists on all of them

well i wouldn't say lag it's more of a slight delay

[blazing palm]

It runs really smooth here, but seem some devices where it doesn't

[south merlin]

i'm just wondering, it's fine for normal gameplay but when you're trying to go through the game quickly (speedrunners) that slight delay kinda hurts

[blazing palm]

is it different from any of our other games?

[south merlin]

i don't believe i've seen any pauses in any other games (including paradise, roots, and hotel)

i could be wrong i don't have 100 hours in every game so...

[proper turret]

@blazing palm can confirm almost everyone is having this happen. seems to be just for us though

mainly refer to the high class gamers Kappa

[vocal raven]

I'm shook

[burnt gale]

Yeah, I've had the same issue, I dismiss it as a "I have too many stuff running in this computer so it makes sense of stuff lagging a bit"

[charred peak]

^^^

[red prawn]

ey

whats this symbol

[dense sundial]

I think it was "S"

[red prawn]

k

thnx

[dense sundial]

np

[sturdy plank]

hey, guys!
anyone knows is it a mistake with Dale's age? that he was turning 9 as it was said in "Cube Escape: Birthday", but in "Paradox" we get a newspaper and it says he was 11?

[zealous yew]

It's a mistake

[vapid rapids]

Yes. Rusty lake already said it’s wrong. Dale’s age was 9.

[dense sundial]

yeah, it was mistake - RL said it themselves in #🤔｜theories

[sturdy plank]

oh, thanks!

[vapid rapids]

I love how everyone wants to help HAH

🙌🏻

[dense sundial]

oh well, everyone wants to be nice XD

[zealous yew]

:3

I just don't want false beliefs to spread

[sturdy plank]

I love how everyone wants to help HAH
that's why i like discord :3

[proper turret]

@red prawn dem eyes very impress

[red prawn]

verY thanks

how do i get third achievement from chapter 1

[zealous yew]

look at the film

in slow motion

and search for a scene with a TV, a deer, and a code

[red prawn]

the head and the tv

k

[red prawn]

is it this???

[dense sundial]

no, no it's most likely on TV

[red prawn]

k

[lilac grail]

Yeah

It’s quick tho so look closely

[red prawn]

what do i have to see

symbols?

[teal grove]

numbers

[arctic burrow]

Some people on Steam say that they can't take certain items. Has someone seen this bug?

[south merlin]

give me an example

[dense sundial]

on my frist try I couldn't pick up button, but idk what I did

was it because I placed cubes too early plus the glass eye?

[arctic burrow]

I used them the moment i got them and there wasn't any problem with it

2 people said that they can't pick the tape up in the 1st chapter

[south merlin]

haven't heard or had that problem nope

[dense sundial]

but Idk why it didn't worked for me for the first time
Like I clicked everywhere and nothing

and I needed to restart everything

[arctic burrow]

Hm, strange

[red prawn]

I could take everything

[wooden oracle]

@red prawn still need achievement three?

[red prawn]

Yes but not now

[grand epoch]

@zealous yew if I put the cubes in the same order as it is shown in the movie will I get the red vial?

[zealous yew]

the order doesn't matter, I already tried

[grand epoch]

how do I get it then?

[red prawn]

K

[zealous yew]

the red vial is chapter 1 exclusive

you just have to drink it and you should get the achievement

[wooden oracle]

@blazing palm look what I found!

[west sandal]

Thanks for tell us lmao 😄

[ruby jay]

Okay Guys, Someone found a channel in chapter 2, 726
First you get a shot of the skull deer sewing a doll then if you keep pressing the button it can give you 3 different shots.
Static
Dale
Dale then cutting to the skull deer sewing a doll

I think it may be some kind of code? I can't figure out a pattern though.

[teal grove]

like albert and his voodoo dolls?

[ruby jay]

Yeah

[zealous yew]

I only get Albert

[smoky tiger]

how're you getting 3 different shots?

[zealous yew]

I think it's fake news, I'm trying, it doesn't work

what's your source ?

@ruby jay

[ruby jay]

My source is that I'm playing it.

[zealous yew]

ok, so get a video of that, because sure, you see Albert, but there are no 3 other shots

at least not for me

[ruby jay]

How do you film it?

[zealous yew]

just get something to film and post it here or on youtube

[south merlin]

that's not dale that's bob

wtf

[zealous yew]

wait what ?

how ?

[south merlin]

the guy with the shot through his temple yes?

[smoky tiger]

no no

wrong channel

this is 726

[south merlin]

726?

yes

726

if you repeatedly do it it changes from albert to bob

[zealous yew]

726 is Albert with his voodoo doll

[smoky tiger]

bob is on 247

[zealous yew]

what

[south merlin]

continuously do it

[ruby jay]

Oh sorry, yeah Bob not Dale

[south merlin]

over and over

and it'l change

i don't even get albert anymore it just sits on bob forever

it was albert, then changed to bob for a split second

[zealous yew]

oh

OOOH ok, right

it's just a glitch

because it's all just one big video

[smoky tiger]

i mean, "just a glitch", this game...

[south merlin]

yeah it's glitched

100%

[smoky tiger]

😄

[south merlin]

if you spam it it changes randomly

ok

[smoky tiger]

one of the craftiest things about this whole series. "i think i found a bug!" "how can you tell?"

[zealous yew]

all the clips from the TV are stored in one single video, so sometimes it glitches and the time where it starts or ends isn't exact

no, just this particular game was rushed in term of glitches and triggers XD

I guess they've put too much time on the game itself, and then they were afraid of taking too much time, so they cut corners

[smoky tiger]

they made up for it with the casting of Dale in the film, imo

[zealous yew]

x)

David ❤

But yeah, it's just (yet another) glitch

(This TV, man...)

[smoky tiger]

wait is there a list of glitches in this game somewhere

[zealous yew]

almost every glitch, softlock and trigger exploits are with the TV XD

[smoky tiger]

oh nooo XD

[zealous yew]

the thing is, in some areas, watching a channel is a trigger for some elements

for exemple, watching 369 (David Eilander / Mr. Rabbit) in the past will automatically put him in the spot right before you open the present, no matter what you did before that

so you basically can skip the whole hide and seek part

it's totally op in speedrun

with all those skips, chapter 2 gets from an hour long to a bit more than 10 minutes

[proper turret]

https://www.speedrun.com/Rusty_Lake_Paradox/run/yl4re7nm

[zealous yew]

also there's channel 207 that can softlock the game in chapter 2 because after seeing it, the TV is unusable

[proper turret]

has that not been mentioned yet 😛

[zealous yew]

there are calculations errors where the limits of the video glitch and you see EVERYTHING

there is channel 137 in chapter 1 with 2 seconds of what's on 067

This TV, man...

Just...

wow

[smoky tiger]

the temptation to go test this, even though it might softlock the TV: massive

[zealous yew]

you can do it at the start

you just have to reset is all

and for some reasons, old Laura appears no matter what brain you have XD

I guess it's just supposed to make her appear in the room

and not calculate what brain you have

[smoky tiger]

oh, yeah, i see now

it brings up the eye for me, which goes nowhere a'tall

[zealous yew]

yup

so you're stuck

[smoky tiger]

https://media.tenor.com/images/73dde2b40b4a35fb960454a6afd6d618/tenor.png

[west sandal]

...

bruh bruh bruh bruh

[zealous yew]

you're prisoner of this room, with an eye, that fixes you, goes nowhere, and is the guardian of your cell

[smoky tiger]

sounds like a lark

[zealous yew]

Lark ?

[smoky tiger]

a delightful afternoon?

[zealous yew]

what is a lark ? .-.

[proper turret]

its bascially a cheeky nandos

[smoky tiger]

yeah, that

[zealous yew]

uh

please, use simpler terms

because I'm lost, here

[proper turret]

mate it's hard to explain mate it's just like one day you'll just be wif your mates having a look in jd and you might fancy curry club at the 'Spoons but your lad Calum who's an absolute ledge and the archbishop of banterbury will be like "brevs lets have a cheeky nandos instead." And you'll think "Top. Let's smash it."

[zealous yew]

insta dies

[proper turret]

seriously though the heck is a lark 😂

[smoky tiger]

(in normal human mean-speak: a lark is something done for fun, usually kind of twee. "a day having tea in the garden, then croquet: what a lark!")

[proper turret]

wait so i was right MingLee

[zealous yew]

who uses this word ?

[smoky tiger]

well

me

.>

[zealous yew]

EXCEPT SOCIOPATHS

[smoky tiger]

OHHH

then idk

😄

[proper turret]

i feel like ive heard people use the word lark

[smoky tiger]

it's something... wossname... julie andrews would say, in Sound of Music

[zealous yew]

the only "lark" I found was a bird .-.

[south merlin]

Larking? Not larping?

[hybrid prawn]

It's uncommon but not unheard of still in the UK, and even in parts of the US it'll come up now and again

[zealous yew]

The UK is weird, man

as is the US, but not for the same reasons

[smoky tiger]

i think i picked up "larking about" from monty python, or something similar

[zealous yew]

UK, use normal words, please
US, use normal... everything else... please...

[smoky tiger]

which is british for "fucking around"

[hybrid prawn]

Nah we're good

We have cheese

[zealous yew]

France has cheese .-.

[south merlin]

not good cheese like here in california

[west sandal]

SO DOES THE SWISS

[smoky tiger]

that's a gouda comeback

[hybrid prawn]

Fun fact: the holes in swiss cheese these days are fake

[west sandal]

Dutch gouda cheese!

Achievement!

[hybrid prawn]

They're put into the cheese by machines

[smoky tiger]

!

[west sandal]

Wow.

[smoky tiger]

my life is a LIE

[hybrid prawn]

Because people expect them to be there

[zealous yew]

Wow

so you mean

that not only we pay for less cheese

but we ask for it so bad they do it artificially ?

[hybrid prawn]

Apparently

[smoky tiger]

they developed machinery to assist in selling us... less cheese

[zealous yew]

wow .-.

[proper turret]

tasty

[zealous yew]

We really are pigeons, aren't we ?

[proper turret]

#🛖｜the-cabin

[smoky tiger]

that's human achievement right there

[west sandal]

"Mmm... Dutch Gouda Cheese!" said the father

[zealous yew]

seeing the time it took to prepare it, I'd say it tastes like compressed milk

[ornate socket]

How bros how ????

[zealous yew]

?

[ornate socket]

I’m playing the paradox

[zealous yew]

one is x
the other is .

just use what's on the screen and what's projected

[ornate socket]

Yeah but where can I solve it ?

[zealous yew]

do you see the clock at the top of the screen ?

[ornate socket]

Yeah

[zealous yew]

well there

there's a clock somewhere

[ornate socket]

Hmmm i can’t :)))

[teal grove]

on the drawer

with the tape recorder

[ornate socket]

I got your idea but still

What is the time for that pic ?

[teal grove]

you notice the weird lines all around the pic?

like that pair of lines in the middle

almost like a rectangle

does it match up with anything in the picture

when you drag it

[ornate socket]

Like this ?

[zealous yew]

ok, there are things printed on the screen, that can match up with what's projected, and give you a code that you can use on the clock

[ornate socket]

I’m already open 2 boxes under the clock

[zealous yew]

yeah, the 3rd one is an achievement

wait

how

how did you open 2

did you force it ?

[ornate socket]

Force ? How ? :))))

There are 2 slides

[zealous yew]

uuuuuh...

[ornate socket]

I finished all

But then the 1st slide was somehow changed

Now I’m stuck on the 3rd box :))

[teal grove]

the 3rd box isn't needed to beat chapter 1

[zealous yew]

just use the codes the game give you

don't focus on anything you have no clue about

yet, take mental notes about it

[bold nest]

@ornate socket I'm the girl in class behind you, i need help with paradox if you have time after class. :)

[zealous yew]

wtf XD

[teal grove]

lolwut

[zealous yew]

What are the odds ?

[ornate socket]

What :)))))))))

[bold nest]

Are you in class?

[ornate socket]

No :))))

[bold nest]

Wait. Who goes to a french uni here??

[zealous yew]

[bold nest]

Fuck Log/Ti

[zealous yew]

[lilac grail]

My school was canceled today

[bold nest]

[ornate socket]

Good for you :))

[lilac grail]

cause i'm homeschooled

[zealous yew]

Looks like the lobster donkey is watching upon me

[ornate socket]

Oops :))?

[lilac grail]

Yes

[ornate socket]

Am I the only Asian ? :))))))

[bold nest]

Ok fine. How about you help me with paradox first lol

Im canadian and asian

[zealous yew]

Yeah, let's start there x)

[ornate socket]

Same issue :)))

Seriously I can’t move any step forward from that slide ._.
