    The way Andy reacts to everything. The silence when he’s offered an apple, his responses like “Why would you take my keys?” and “No, I don’t want to play, I just want my keys!” It deviates from the usual horror game/movie protagonist who just goes along with everything blindly. It’s like even within the game, the whole thing is scripted and Andy isn’t in on it.

    things Matt may have missed:
    -when pumpkin pete catches you, yes the words 'save me' appear, but so do the words 'save us'.So it's not just one person asking you to save them.
    -in the axe murder scene, the man with the axe is the one saying 'You killed them!" and "stop lying to me", the man on the ground never said anything about his attacker killing anyone.

    • @dafilmqueen556
      @dafilmqueen556 Рік тому

      That last one is actually explained in the theory video. The man with the ax, Thomas Eastwood (the host for Andy's character), is actually being forced the by the Evil Entity (Peter the Pumpkin's real form) into murdering his own family and the man on the ground Arthur (Clous the Clock's host) is his friend whom he's also being forced to murder against his will. Just saying, as MatPat says, a "reluctant follower".

      I must add that the developer of this game is a genius requiring you to play this game brand-new multiple times to get a bigger picture, or by watching other people's playthroughs. It's the perfect formula for UA-camrs. Even the simple order you play the minigames gives you different bits of the story. It's such an interactive design and something I haven't seen in a while since the earlier days of FNAF.

    I’ve put a lot of time into solving this cool story’s puzzles and secrets.
    I’ve translated a lot of he ciphers and even spent an hour decoding binary.
    The main idea we can get so far from this story (including elements from solved puzzles) is that this poor family delt with a traumatic event that ultimately tore them apart.
    Father and game creator Thomas East wood and his wife Kamryn Eastwood had two children the oldest being Isabella and her little brother Louis. One night Isabelle Louis and someone else went out on a row boat in the lake, and louis feel overboard and went missing.
    Thomas starts losing it, taking the incident out on isabella to the point the parents separate.
    We know Kamryn died in the fire that destroyed the house, as for isabella i’m not 100% sure what she’s got going on.
    Kamryn’s potential love interest after Thomas leaves is Arthur, who is murdered by Thomas. ( who is also his best friend)
    We don’t completely know if Louis is dead or not, as in decoded messages “I don’t blame her” is repeated in response to Thomas blaming isabelle for the accident. We also don’t know who else was on the boat when Louis went missing.
    However we do know that someone knows what Thomas has done, as in the final decoded message at the end of the game is
    Edit 2: (i wrote it incorrectly lol)
    “Thomas, don’t ask for help nobody can save you now”
    All in all i love this series to death and would love if you covered some of these elements or if you can help me with the two clues I haven’t been able to solve!
    Edit 1: format change :]
    Edit 3: Hello! I have joined the official discord for this game, and found the answers to a lot of the secrets I wasn’t 100% sure of so let me clear some things up.
    (MAJIOR SPOILERS)
    The large section of binary was cut off, the entire message reads
    “ She was so scared from what happened she couldn’t tell us the truth. It wasn’t her fault”
    There were also a few clues i missed/glossed over.
    In another of the secret end screens a Cesar cipher reads “Thomas Eastwood got us all trapped in here”
    The only other cipher i missed was a translation of “Louis Eastwood” under his missing poster in a secret frame
    Another Cipher langue appears as well that I didn’t catch, one saying “please save us” and the other “yet” repeatedly.
    The QR code leads the the website to where you can play the game for yourself.
    As well as all the information about the creators and link to the Discord, all the information presented has been confirmed in a Google Document in the Discord.

    Feels like Thomas made a deal with some creature or entity to make his game either more successful, or make his character feel more alive.
    Alternatively it also seems like this eyeless entity was preying on Thomas, making him go insane and going through great lengths to fix his own game, unknowingly killing his friends and/or co-workers. Maybe the entity was controlling him? Thomas seemed confused and afraid when he killed the other guy (I forgot their name), almost as if he wasn't aware of what he was doing. Or maybe Thomas thought his friends were disappearing and the other guy was to blame, and that's why he killed him.

    Hey Matpat! There are some hidden easter eggs and lore if you try to say "no" or try to break out of the mini games!
    I wont say all of them, but new dialogue appears depending on who's game you play first, and strange things happen if you try to say "no" or try to break the mini games! (Also each door in the barn gives a different secret ending screen)
    Like in the fishing game. Tell him "no" for a secret surprise.
    And spoilers for this!
    If you drag the body at the bottom of the lake across the riverbed after being forced into the game, you get a creepy message that says "you know exactly what you did" with faded binary just below
    01001011 01100001 01101101 01110010 01111001 01101110
    I went and translated the binary and it came out as "Kamryn"
    So here's a theory for ya to add to this mystery! Who exactly is Kamryn, and what does she have to contribute to the story of the game?
    Also, something different happens if you bring the body back to the dock ;)

    • @screenedat0m

      "You know exactly what you did [Kamryn]"
      Did she do something to cause the son's "disappearance" since that line is tied to the body in the riverbed? Is that why she was trying to convince her daughter that it wasn't her fault that her brother never came up from the water? Or was she really cheating on her husband with his best friend since it's accusing her of doing something she knew she shouldn't have?
      There's another string of binary hidden away in here that im trying to decipher, hopefully we can find another interesting clue in there xD

    The binary at 42:56 is a little odd to try to translate to ASCII, given that the last number gets cut off, but you can use context clues to figure it out. The three words appear to be "SCARED", "HAPPENED", and "WASN'T/HASN'T". Interestingly, the first letter of all three words is missing.
    EDIT: 52:06 yields "US TH TRUT . IT ASN'T HER F ULT." This likely ties back to the glitch at 24:28, which uses the phrase "It's not her fault" twice at the end.

    Came for the witty banter, stayed for the ending jumpscare that legitimately made my skin crawl.

    Apples, Pears, Cherries, Plums, etc. all are very closely related and grow on trees.

    Hint: there are way more Easter eggs you missed than just one. There was a part at the hub you could collide through, you could've taken the other path on melody's game, and you could play the games in different orders. You can also exit the barn through different paths and get different images other than the promotional poster.

    From dawkos playthrough it seems like you get different glitches and errors each time! That’s really cool!

    An apple farm has apple orchards in it, they are filled with different types of apples. An orchard is something that exists within a farm itself. In some cases farmers have orchards of different fruits and other vegetables within their farms.

    i’ve never been so proud of myself, i figured out that the garbled words at the beginning probably say “please save us” because the letters e and s line up in the words of you were to use the symbols as letter substitutions.

    holy crap, did you notice that the lady didn't have her eyes crossed out when he got that other ending?
    does that mean that you can uncover all of their faces when you beat the game?
