But that would actually be so cool. For once playing a case where everything in the end leads back to us, that is about us and not just 'another victim'🤔
But also xD Just imagine the dialogue that would follow if we'd actually solve a murder that didn't lead to someones death. And the not-dead-person just challenging us to solce his not-murder
Spoiler
.
Okay, actually I was thinking about another theory with Billy Blake.
It's interesting that Charlie says that back then everyone thought that Billy's dad buried his son somewhere in the Dunkelsteig.
And then, when Eric arrives at the signal, there's nothing. And we're questioning why there's nothing and if someone set the signal for Vega at all.
So, here comes my theory. I said before, what if someone saw what we did in Duskwood and is now challenging us in any way or wants us to solve a case without telling us who they are. Because of any reason. Maybe they can't or whatever. Not important now.
But what if it's actually Billy. And the signal was the exact location where Billy's dad buried him back then. His dad thought Billy's dead but maybe Billy wasn't. Such phenomena, after all, are happening.
And now Billy Blake wants us to help him solve his own "murder".
Or maybe he's just crazy and actually lived anywhere in the forest and is now starting his own murder series.
I mean, living in the woods for years by yourself must be pretty exhausting xD And boring.
I mean, the 'unknown' person knew us. And was sure we're the one in the forest.
And I still suspect that this story is about us and everyone else is not the real victim. They are only colateral damages.
Nymos, who very much is Kaden: I WON'T change my profile picture! You see me every day, MC! Let me keep my eye!
MC: I will take away your internet access...
Kaden: You would NOT!
MC: 1...
(Do y'all still remember Kaden? XD)
Lilly: Hey Jake. Uh, why's there a "No AI art in this house!" -sign outside the door?
Jake: Don't ask.. MC's just dreamed they were working on another case but all characters were weird animated AI projection except for two. MC said it reminded them of horror movies with dolls. Now they ban it from our home.
Lilly: But what about Nymos?
Jake: The two are still discussing this...
MC: Listen, Nymos! As long as I pay for your internet access, you do as I tell you!
To make that clear, I am NOT happy with some of the decisions Everbyte made with Moonvale. The diamond thing makes me mad and I AM sad about it-
BUT
I finished Episode 1. And it was absolutely worth it. The ending, f^ing hell.
Worth it.
I am in total shock.
I finished Duskwood half an hour ago.
I still cannot grab a clear thought. Wow. Just wow, Everbyte.
THANK YOU
I agree so much with the AI that they probably don't have the right actor for the character yet, and a lot of people are acting like it's the end of the world, it not and people acting like everbyte made a lot of money from duskwood but they probably didn't because of how low they charged us on everything I'm playing and it's super fun so far and I'm enjoying it
I've finished the first episode and here are my thoughts.
Mild to extreme spoilers and a train of thought that I'm not sure will go anywhere.
1. Sure, I don't like having to pay for every picture or video either. I get it, though, they need to make money. I think this was a heavy handed way to make it much more expensive than expected, but Duskwood was VERY low requirement to buy game currency, so maybe it seems so bad mostly by comparison.
2. Eric is a goof, and VERY clumsy. He trips at least twice, once in a BIG way and seems like he's a nice guy.
3. I was surprised to see so much of the missing Adam. No further comments on that.
4. Adam's expression when we "answer" the video call was that of palpable relief... There are even tears that fall during this call. He has us as a contact since Eric says he didn't just get the number... He apologized that we'll "have to do this without [him] though it seems impossible"... We know the two cities are close together... Adam has black hair... Jake admitted that he lives under fake names.... I'm curious how the story would be if Jake was revealed under one of his aliases, that's all.
5. Charlie is like a cross between Richy and Dan and I'm not sure how I feel about him
6. The AI images that everyone is freaking out about are whatever... We never saw Lily's face until after Jake disappeared for a while. Dan had a hoodie covering his face in his profile pic for a while too. As they cast, I'm sure they'll update.
7. I know we're all anxious to see how the Duskwood code affects gameplay, and I think it's safe to say at this point there will be a handful of chats or events that will be threaded through the game that will tie back to our experiences.
8. "I WILL FIND YOU" 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 SO PUMPED but now I want to go back and NOT flirt with Eric. I thought if it would only be a self contained side story that I could compartmentalize my love for Jake, but now I'm replaying to keep holding on strong for him.
