#duskwood new ep

[hack-me-jake]

i was just thinking about this last night. and i was so right. maybe it does make sense in a situation like this to introduce a new actor as their character needs it. like in video calls or whatever.... and this is just the first ep right

edit: BUT. i also agree that they should use stock images like they did with duskwood

[diary-thinking]

Everbyte‘s Moonvale, first episode

English isn’t my native language, so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes 💔

I‘m so.. disappointed.

I‘ve had high hopes bc what we saw as promo was great and after something so perfect like Duskwood, I’m just so fvckin mad and sad.

The story seems to be similar, but it’s okay for me. But the diamond system? You‘re kidding? No premium pack? I was ready to pay, but I don’t will pay for every special offer 19 to 25 diamonds which means to buy so much diamond packages bc you can’t collect enough diamonds to play trough it without making pauses for days. And the AI images????? Wtf???

It’s not fair.

I’m feeling betrayed, like.. wtf? Two years of silence, we waited for THIS? The first episode of Moonvale didn’t felt like “we love and appreciate our fans” but more like “oh shot we wanted to bring a game? Fvck it, just drop a similar story with AI images and a money grabbing system”.

It’s. Not. Fair. It’s disrespectful.

The story seems to be okay. The characters are sweet and I cried a little bc of the conversation with ash about everything that happened in Duskwood (I’m a Richys girl with a very broken heart).

I was so happy today when I saw the “install” button for the app. I couldn’t wait to get back at home and meet the new group, but it was just.. underwhelming.

And now? We wait for another year for episode two like we waited such a long time for Duskwood ep 10? Or the fvckin two years for this? I’m so mad, that I just can’t be happy for the little nice things atm.

Moonvale, still ep. 1

Everyone in Duskwood needed our help. In Moonvale, on the contrary, they offer their help to us.

Does MС really look that bad on the new avatar? 🤔

[bluektw]

Ok it has been a couple days now, so let's talk about Moonvale

(it's quite long btw)

Spoilers Alert

Ok where do we start?

Well, let's talk about the story and things I like first.

I was hooked. Ngl. I'm not sure why exactly but from the first call I got hooked an wanted to understand what was going on.

What was weird though was how "easy" MC opens up with Ash about what happened in Duskwood, like maybe a little bit of reluctance? Of disbelief? Of trust issues after what happened with Richy?????

We don't know these people. So opening up like that is kinda weird, but moving on.

I actually like the video calls, it makes quite involving. Maybe we should have more of that in Duskwood.

So yeah that's it, I want to know the story and what's going on but I have to admit everything else makes me feel like I might give up.

Now for the characters

Eric is kinda... Cute? (His voice was so pretty though). Adam I have no words, the actor was amazing, I felt everything thing he felt and it doesn't look forced.

The others well... We'll talk about AI later, but the others don't really feel like... Friends? They feel a lot like coworkers. Like Adam and Eric feel like friends, but Eric and the others feel like not exactly friends (maybe next episode we get more of them this might change).

Oh and the unknown guy, scared the shit out of me, but like, I'm used to being threatened by masked people (cof Richy cof) so just another Thursday.

And let's talk about the star: JAKE SHOWING UP AT THE END. He's alive, thank God. And saying "X, I will find you" AHH THE FEELINGS (I'm a Jake girlie, sorry) (I want to talk to Alan too btw)

Now let's talk about what I don't like about it

- The minigames: I don't think they got harder, but I do think the dialogue was way too short in between minigames, like I'm pretty sure I played more than read messages. (I don't like the new style and miss the dark vibes, but I can look past that)

- P2W: I'm a hater on this. I get what they were aiming for, that not everyone can pay so they made this so everyone could have a chance but the execution was so bad. I hated this, especially the fact that EVERYTHING was so expensive like 19 gems for a photo of an envelope? 12 gems for changing profile? Hell 25 gems for a conversation?? If it was like till 10 gems I think it would've been a little less annoying. I'm not sure but that made the game feel way more like a game than a chat, it lost a little of the magic Duskwood had.

- The "flirting": Can you play without flirting? Sure, but does the story get more interesting if you flirt with Eric? Yes. That's the problem, it feels forced. In Duskwood many of the flirts were a lot more subtle, and took more time to start, you literally can flirt with Eric within the first messages. The flirting wasn't the center of the story, it was a background thing, and that's why it was cool and exciting, here it feels more like a way to progress the story than a connection.

- AI: I don't like this. I really don't. I mean, they had so much time and chose to use AI? Almost two years and they couldn't get actors? Or at least use like images from Pinterest instead of AI?. Besides that, the fact even our profile is made with AI it really takes away the whole "involving" thing, cause these are not people, I can't see them as people cause even the bloody cat is made of AI, they don't feel real and that makes the game feel way too much like a game, while Duskwood really made you feel like you were chatting with real people (just look at how many people fell in love with the characters), I hope they change this in the future, seeing the backlash it got.

I guess that's it.

I do hope they realize they messed up with the p2w and AI thing mostly, and hopefully they will find a way to change it. I can't say for sure I won't be playing when ep 2 comes out, cause again, the story is good, and the perspective of other characters (Jake and Alan for me) showing up it will keep me hooked, but I can't speak for the majority of people, but it's definitely a step down from Duskwood.

[hacked-by-jake]

how you still haven't lost the urge to write au about duskwood?

I wrote my last AU over a year(?) ago. and I really miss how much I loved this game.

kszjwbwusub it's you!! Really, I was always hoping you’d come back once. :) And tbh, I feel so bad because I still have your fic saved in my drafts. But when you were no longer active, I was unsure if I should post it. Idk. uff

Well, I think that’s mainly because I have no life and duskwood has given me a little bit of sense. And well, I still love Jake, I write less than I did back then, at the moment I write a bit more again. A little new inspiration etc. And the excitement about the new game/the 'sequel'. And thanks to duskwood I met so many great people. Hehe. So, I guess, I'm just in real love and have the urge to share it with people. xD

Did you play ep 10? Did you replay it? Maybe you will love it again as much as you used to. <3

[withjake-blog]

After the battle

Hey hey hey ! I AM SOOO HAPPY to come back here for a new story about our favorite duskwood couple I named : Jaaaake annnd Mccc(me). The story that you're gonna read takes place after Richy and Jessy phone each other in the tunnels.

There will only be 2 points of view. The first is mine. I don't know if I would do other chapters of this one, this story is mostly about what I would have done I was in the game. Good ! We can start I think :)

Genre : Romance, violence, mystery

Warning : spoil ep 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mc pov :

It happened too fast. It shouldn't have happened. Why? Why did he do that? We could have talked about finding a solution. I had forgiven him!

The only thing left was the fire. I can't leave my phone. A solution, I needed a solution. I have to go see them.

But you made a promise.

But they need me! I was desperately looking for a bag in my vast apartment. Shit. Shit. Shit !

-Where is it ! I scream

A bark made my head spin. It was Whisky my dog, he has my travel bag in his mouth.

-Good boy !

I run to take the bare necessities and I take the first ticket for Duskwood. Only six hours away, okay. I'm sorry Jake, but I have to do it. I take Whisky with me and I grab my phone.

-Here we go my baby.

Jake pov :

I am stuck. Between one of the tunnel exits, the river and two agents. Okay Jake, think twice. If they catch me I'm finished.

And you made a promise

Yes. Well I have to attract one to me to knock him out. It will give me more chances to go into the water and go through the forest. But if I do that my hardware will be damaged.

Ok. So we improvise.

I took a stone to throw it towards one of them, he turned around and came towards me. It was dark, so I was able to go behind him and nudge him behind the head, without making a sound I took off his uniform and put it on. His colleague who was talking on the phone doesn't pay attention to me. Quad I was far enough I started running in the forest even if I didn't know where I was going. Behind me I heard dogs barking. Shit ! I ran even faster but I heard it getting closer and closer to me fortunately I fell on a road and I stopped one of the cars passing by to get into it.

-Get started !

The person who was driving rushes towards the city and luckily for me, the agents had probably lost me in the forest. I took a moment to breathe but when I turned my head I saw a familiar face staring at me like I was a ghost. Wait a minute?

-Dan !

-But who the fuck are you?! He shouted

-And why did you jump in my car ? said a female voice to me

-Cleo ? I say shocked

What a crazy coincidence

-How do you know our name ? Who are you ? she ask me

I take the hood off my hoodie so they can see my face.

-My name is Jake. I say seriously

Cleo braked suddenly and Dan put his hands on his head.

-Jake ?! they both screamed

-We don't have much time for presentation, i need you to get me away from here.

-Ok

-Was it really Richy ? Dan ask me

-What are you talking about ?

-Jessy... Jessy was crying before we left for Duskwood, she said it was him and then she locked herself in a room. Cleo answers me

-So that was him... He is the one who started all this, but how? And why ?

-We don't know more than you. As usual it is Mc who has the answers to our questions. But she answers none of our calls and messages. Dan tells me

Mc... I hope she don't do what I think she wants to do.

Mc pov

Five hours after Jake escaped.

One more hour until I get to Duskwood. I was on a bus after taking a train, Whiskey was sleeping next to me, but I couldn't. I kept crying thinking about Richy and Jessy. I thought that after I found Hannah, everything would be easier. But it only got worse. I didn't even know what to do when I arrived.

The bus stopped at the penultimate stop, Moonvale. I think I'll go see Alan Bloomgate first like I promised him if he was going to save Hannah.

-Everyone get off, last stop Duskwood !

-Come on come Whisky, we've arrived.

Yeah it was short ;) I wrote it just for fun and because I missed Jake...

[raykayrei]

I'm working on a little side project at the moment (writing some new fanfiction, of course), but I just finished Duskwood EP 10 so I wanted to share the prompt I wrote a few minutes ago. Feel free to write about it if you're interested.

DUSKWOOD EP.8!

Okay, it's been a long time since I posted here. I wish I had come back sooner, but the school has taken up any time I have, and unfortunately, I also didn't know what exactly to post here (And I had also stayed away from any social media for my own mental health.) But episode 8 of Duskwood gave me some excitement, and maybe I'll write some stuff here. (Or maybe I'll just do this post myself and be gone for a while longer until a new episode of Duskwood comes out ._.)

Needless to say, this post will be FULL of spoilers, but even so, it's good to warn unsuspecting people. Anyway everything will be below the cut, so prevent anyone from seeing it by accident.

(Sorry if it have something confused, or with English mistakes)

BUT LET'S GO WITH IT BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT, BUT A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS EPISODE.

For me this was one of the episodes with the most stuff, at least in my opinion, or maybe I think that because I've played so much the other eps. that nothing in eps. past surprises me. But anyway, let's start at the beginning. (I just hope I took a screenshot of everything, I'll be very frustrated if I forgot something)

Remembering that this is all from the choices I made during the ep, and maybe some things vary. I'm not sure, as I've only played it once I can't tell you where each question leads, and honestly, even though I really want to redo the game, it becomes more and more tiring, it took me 3 days to reach ep 8 (due to the fact that my game crashed when I was going to start ep 5, I had to uninstall the game and lost the progress of the game. End of story.) So, tell me what you think of the ep. I would love to know :)

(Sorry, I'm stalling again, it's inevitable.)

*Almost whenever I mention us/we, I mean MC.

Richy's death. This is where ep 7 ended.

We texted him, and obviously he didn't respond.

Thomas and Cleo call us saying they went to the pawn shop, they say Phil was the one who left the bracelet there.

We talked in the group about Richy.

Thomas wants to go search the forest, but we stop him.

Lilly calls the police.

Jessy says she's in the junkyard along with three policemen, she says she wants to talk to Richy's father, but she can't contact him.

She tells about the fish prank Richy did, and they made it a ritual/tradition(?)

One of the cops arrives with Richy's bloodied cap.

Jake talks to us.

He says he knows what happened and he's sorry.

We talked to Jake about Richy's death.

Jake tries to comfort us.

Jake confesses that he already thought about giving up, taking us and leaving it all behind, but he knew that sooner or later the consequences of that action would catch up with us.

We continued our investigations, telling Jake that Richy heard screams in the forest and so he went there.

We ask why Richy would be attacked, and Jake replies that the MWAF takes people marked, but they are taken in the new moon, but as he says, Richy wasn't attacked on the first new moon of the year, and we remember that it wasn't even night either when he was attacked.

Duskwood police call us. But Jake hangs up midway through the call. He says that talking to the police would not be a suitable move at the moment, as any information can make us the focus of investigations.

Jake tells us not to answer Alan if he calls again.

We commented to Jake that the killer didn't show himself this time, Jake says maybe we should focus on Richy.

Jake changes the subject and says he thought Phil would be our most important lead, but now that he's in jail, we've been forced to drop that theory.

We say Phil was the one who left the bracelet at the pawnshop, and that should be proof, and play a big part in all of this. And that was because of that fact that Hannah wanted to talk to Phil.

There is still a lot to be done: Ted Madruga, Amy, and now we know the right name for Jennifer (Hanson).

Jake says he's going to see which of these clues is going to be more productive.

If we ask Jake if he's purposely leaving us out, he says yes and says he wants us to rest. If we say that we don't want that, he says that we have a lot to do, and if we have to testify, we just have to ignore it, and that we must face the unknown with a clear head.

We say goodbye.

Lilly asks how we are going to proceed now. Whether or not they should go to the cabin.

We ask if anyone knows where the cabin is, and Cleo replies that she does.

They decide not to go.

Cleo says that we and Jake must reveal everything we know. And that we should add Jake to the group.

We talk to Jake, he accepts with the condition that we remove Richy from the group, because now the kidnapper must have his cell phone, and can see all the messages.

Dan says he was in the bathroom because the hospital food was hurting him.

Before we start talking about everything we have, Dan asks Jake how he knew Hannah was missing. He replies that Hannah had gone to get help from him, and he had a video call with her.

We ask if there's anyone close to Hannah, and Jake says from the angle the cell phone was on he couldn't see very well, but he doesn't think so. So we asked if it was like anyone could have seen Jake, and he said no. We ask how Hannah was attacked, but he doesn't know.

Jessy asks to wait because she wants to go home.

Dan talks to us and says he still doesn't trust Jake.

We tell the group to speak up when they have a question, join the conversation, etc.

We started talking about our MWAF clue and how/why we started to follow that.

We sent Hannah's photo of the crow. We ask about an incident Hannah could be involved in, but no one knows anything.

We talk about Hannah's notes. We said that she suffered from depression, no one believed it, even showing the medical prescription. Nobody knew what she was going through.

We show Hannah's psychiatrist's recording. We said that Hannah thought she was being followed, and that it was linked to her past.

We show the security camera recording.

We talk about the Jennifer incident, Jake asks who was asked about Jennifer, and (in my case) it was Richy. So... ._.

Jake talks about Jennifer's real last name (Hanson)

Jessy says she went to Hannah's car and went to the GPS location.

Thomas is confused by this information and says Hannah's car was not there before.

Dan asks for a break.

Lilly says she went to her parents' house to find out more about Amy, and says she couldn't even look at her father's face.

Lilly decides to send a letter to Ted.

Jake and Lilly finally talk.

We and Jake helped Lilly write the letter.

Lilly talks to Jake. (I found their conversation very cute, I have to admit)

Dan says he took a nap, Cleo said that too.

We resume the conversation.

Jessy says she met Iris. And that Jennifer was supposed to have been hit by a car, and the author of this was never found. Hannah was being followed by Jennifer's alleged killer.

We send the second note.

We talk about the bracelet.

Thomas talks about the bracelet, which he thought was proof that Hannah was cheating on him, so he went to the apartment to get it. Jessy says she saw it at the pawnshop, which led Thomas and Cleo there, where they found out that Phil was the one who left it there.

We said that Hannah should also know about this and that's why she wanted to talk to Phil.

We talked about the phone book. And about each one that was there. Rogers Garage because of Hannah's car in there, Alan because Hannah probably wanted something from the police, Phil because of the bracelet, Thomas and then the unknown number, where we thought it was Jake's, but then he reveals that it wasn't his, and that he had taken his number off the list before. And this is something we have yet to discover.

Jake then shows the stone it had in the place where Amy was found, said Jennifer Hanson. We concluded that it must mean something to the killer in some way that we don't know yet, but that everything is intertwined.

We talked about Ted Madruga in the group.

The group decides that it's better if no one leaves the house from now on.

We ask Jake how he feels, and he says he doesn't know, and asks how we feel.

Jake then finds a post from Amy on a forum. (Dark Mystery Forum)

Jake says we should check it out ourselves, but you can only log in with an account. Jake gives his account, Nymos and an impossible password. (I said it was a great password, that our account would be safe, mainly from me xD )

He asks if he wants to change the password for us, so we can choose the password.

(and damn, I picked cake when it was the perfect opportunity to put Jake as the password, I really wanted to know if anything would happen if we put him as our password, please, did anyone think about that? Could you tell me if something happens or not?)

We entered the forum, and there are 9 posts there, at least the ones accessible to us, some have nothing important, they are just stories that people post there, or interact to make a story, with each user saying a sentence, and so on. One has several pictures of ghosts. And well, on some posts we can interact (well, I know I didn't know, but as I read the posts, I saw that at the end of some posts there were some sentences and a button, but the button was in German, and I was too lazy to look up the translation, so in the post where each one posted a sentence to form a horror story, I clicked this button, and then I realized what that was, in this case, the sentence I accidentally put was that the gravedigger tripped on the phone cord, and fell in the middle of the room xD)

Definitely one topic that caught my attention was predicting the future, and I love it when it comes to games, because as much as I don't believe in real life, in games it always means something. I don't know if anyone else did, or if all the answers are the same, but mine said: LadyLotus "I see your pain Nymos. I share it with you. My prediction is stronger and clearer than ever. In your future, I see a king's golden crown. (I really don't know what that crown might mean.) Sadly, you're about to face tough times. But you won't go through this alone. There is one person in your life that you are very important to (I assume it is Jake) But something unsaid is still with you two. (I wonder what it is, but I have a feeling it's a very bad thing) And if something is offered to you soon, you must refuse. (I think this must be in relation to the Duskwood Police? Can't be sure)

Anyway, I thought it was really cool to be able to interact on the forum and predict our future. I loved the forum mechanics and hope we can use the forum more in the next ep :)

(I saw it Everbyte, and honestly I don't know how I feel about it xP)

We talked to Darkness, and found out Amy's number, which was the unknown number on Hannah's list. (Hello darkness my old friend was a tempting answer, but I didn't click, if someone chose that answer could you tell me what it answers?)

(I know at that time Jake sent a message, and I was scared xD, the scariest thing was in the dialogue I could say I got a fright ._. Everbyte, since when did you guys develop a mind reader in programming?)

We talked to Jake about the number.

I got another fright at Jake's notification, and what can I say, I wasn't really expecting this conversation, but it sure made me very happy. :D

Jake asks us if we like Chinese food. (I said yes, but to be honest, I've never eaten Chinese food, and I can't say whether I like it or not, but I said yes, I didn't want to say no to Jake. If someone said no, what happens? I'm curious.)

He says he has a restaurant in front of the hotel where he is staying. And he says he was thinking about us, and that it would be rude to invite us to a restaurant we don't like. We ask him if he keeps thinking about things like that, and he replies that he thinks a lot. We said that we thought about him too, and that it was good to think. Jake asks if we'd like to talk about it. (And my god Everbyte, I can't believe you turned my thoughts into reality, I mean "reality" as this unfortunately isn't real ._.) We have several answer options, and maybe I'll talk about it in another one post.

Jake says that thought is very good, and that he would like to make it a reality. (Everbyte, why do you do this with my heart? Why do I have to fall so hard for a guy who doesn't even really exist? TT_TT)

Phil calls us in prison, I can't remember his exact words, but he comments about Michael Hanson, that he's in jail because of Phil's connection to him, and that we should prove Phil's innocence.

Jake gets jealous. (I admit it was cute to see him like that xD)

We ask if there's any chance the police know that Phil called us, Jake asks if we were scared of the police, and then reassures us that we don't need to fear the police. We say that we can feel that Jake is hiding something from us, he replies that he still has a card up his sleeve, but that we would understand when the right time came (ah, he hasn't said that for a while, I don't even know why I'm still surprised xD )

Jake discovers an audio of an interrogation of Michael Hanson. We found out that Michael was the former owner of the bar Aurora, and that the day of the Pine Glades Festival was the day Jennifer disappeared/died, and that he didn't notice until the next day when he saw she wasn't in her room. The police suspected Michael was to blame for Jennifer's death.

We show the audio in the group.

Alan sends us one more message.

We found out that Phil took over the bar about a year ago, Phil changed everything there, and before that the bar was geared towards an older group. Thomas said that was where he met the group.

We know that Michael left Duskwood suddenly.

Thomas and Jessy go to the address that belonged to Michael.

We talked to Cleo and Dan in the meantime.

When Thomas and Jessy arrive at the house, (actually the mansion, because that's huge) everything was apparently abandoned. The two begin to explore, and even find a bunker, which was empty.

Lilly says she sent the letter and we say we found out the last number was from Amy.

At some point, Lilly says she remembers walking with her grandfather there a long time ago.

Thomas calls us, they find something inside the house, it was a room with lots of pictures and investigative stuff apparently.

Thomas and Jessy split up to find something. In the meantime the MWAF enters the house, Thomas and Jessy manage to escape in time.

MWAF then calls us asking if killing the mechanic wasn't enough for us? He then says that he's going to kill them all, one by one, that we'll have to watch them all die, and that he's finally going to come after us.

Phew, this took a long time to write, because a lot happened in this ep, I tried to put as much information as possible, but I may have left something out, and I also had no precision about what was said in the calls (and I was with too lazy to research, sorry.) Hope this post might be useful in some way? I kind of just wanted to comment on everything that happened in this ep. Maybe I'll comment on other things about this ep, and I also want to talk about Richy, all his suspicious stuff, and whether or not he's MWAF. (Of course, so far there's no way to know precisely, they're just theories, but I want to talk about it :) )

Oh well, and I also wanted to say, are we reaching the end of Duskwood? It would be ep. 10 the last one? One thing I noticed in the ep trailer was a puzzle, does that mean we're almost at the end of the mystery? Well, we'll have to wait and find out.

See you in the next post. And oh! Tell me what you think of this ep, and your theories :)

(In advance, this was one of the best eps for me, or maybe it is because I've played the other eps so much that I don't see it with the same eyes, but anyway.)

Restarting is tempting, but going through all 8 eps again, I don't think I can do that, especially as I would restart now, play a little bit, drop it, go into duskwood again just in the new ep, and have to spend another 3 whole days playing just to start the new ep. So... better not xD

Then that way we might be able to find Hannah and Richy.

Jake press send on his chat with Mc focusing quickly back on the comptuer in front of him. He already spent way too much time in this room but if he succeeds doing it, the chance for him finding Hannah and Richy grow exponentially.

MC: Oh, you haven't heard yet

Alan just escorted Hannah out of the mine

„What!?“ he blurts out not believing his eyes and grabs his phone.

Jake: Hannah is safe?

MC: Yes :)

Closing his eyes for a moment, he takes a deep breath and exhales relieved that Hannah is finally safe. But she wasn't the only one they needed to find.

Jake: But what about Richy?

MC: Alan will find him

Jake: All right.

I must leave this mine immediately.

~ ~ ~ ~

Reluctantly, he peels his eyes from his phone screen and tucks it to his pocket. It was time to get the hell out of this place. And fast.

Unfortunately, that is not going to be an easy task.

With no knowledge in what part of the mine Michael might be exactly, the map of the mine on his phone being of no use and the hatch at the Grimrock  locked, it's going to be extremely hard to leave this place.

Not to mentione that most likely all the known exits are probably guarded with cops, or the FBI agents, it's going to take a miracle for him to leave this place unnoticeable.

But that's not going to stop him from trying. He made a promise to Mc, and there was nothing that's going to stop him from keeping that promise. Especially not now when he finally managed the courage to confess his feelings to them.

It's been so long since the last time he felt like this – since he felt so alive. With everything that happened to him, he forgot how good that feeling was, how everything gets a different meaning when you have something to look forward to. Or rather to say someone.

And it is amazing how fast one can get used back to that feeling again, especially with the right person. So damn right he will do everything he can to get out of here alive.

But first thing first – he needs to get back to the higher level, it will definitely be more probable to find a way out from there. And even if it was a big risk, he should try to use the same ladders he took to get down here. Finding a new set of ladders blindly might take him way too much time.

Reaching the ladders, he carefully starts climbing. He tries to focus his hearing for any signs of movement, but the sound of his own heart beating uncontrollably made it hard for him.

While climbing, he remembers he saw a side tunnel not that far down from the beggining of the shaft. He should try using it rather than going back all the way up and risk getting caught immediately.

When he reached the side tunnel, he carefully takes his phone out from his pocket, holding the ladders tightly with his other hand. He turns the flashligh on and points it at the tunnel.

The side tunnel was definitely used in the past – there were still wires with the lights on each side of it, and that kinda gave him some hope that this tunnel could maybe take him to some other useful part of the mine. Hopefully.

There was only one way to find out.

Not even a few steps in, he had to get into an uncomfortable half-crouching position to continue through it, slowing him down. He just hoped it won't take him long to reach the end of it – this place was very unstable, it was hard to keep the thought of this tunnel collapsing out of his head.

Luckily, he soon found himself reaching the end of it, ending up in what looked like another main tunnel. Streching a bit, he notice that the lights on the wall in this part of the tunnel are working, and he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. But what he did know was that he needs to keep moving.

The tunnel had only two options – either take left or right – and if he calculated correctly by the position of the shaft and the side tunnel, it would be better to continue on the left and make some distance from the Grimrock entrance.

The eerie silence of the tunnel was not helping in making him any less jittery, and the sudden thought how he told Mc earlier about the catastrophe that happened here all those years ago, and allegedly 'calls of the deceased workers' still being heard echoing through the mine makes his skin crawl.

Get a grip, Jake, and focus! he scolds himself and shakes his head with a low chuckle, focusing back on the path in front of him. He knew better than to believe in some old ghost stories, but he couldn't deny the fact that this place was definitely creepy.

„Oh, fuck!“ he curse outloud after a while, coming to a dead end. The semi circular room he reached was blocked at the other end, and after a bit more thorough examination, he had no other option but to retrace his steps.

A sudden loud boom of an explosion cuts through the eerie silence of the mine.

„What the...“ his eyes turn wide, both from fear and unexpectedness of it. What the hell was happening? He better ask Mc what is going on, and make sure everyone is fine.

But the moment his hand went for his pocket, the whole place started vibrating, immediately followed by a violent shaking, and he barely managed to keep himself from losing his footing.

The walls around him began to crumble, and he had just enough time for the thought how, after everything, his promise to Mc might end unfulfilled. And that thought pained him extremely.

Then everything went dark.

~ ~ ~ ~

His eyelids fly open and he gasps for air, instantly followed by the rapid coughing attack. His mouth were full of dust and he definitely didn't want to swallow any of it.

When his cough subsided and his eyes adjusted to his surrounding, he tries to sit up and immediately wince in pain clutching his shoulder. He had no idea if his shoulder was dislocated or just extremely bruised, but the pain in it was strong. He desperately needed his backpack.

Being on a run for all these years at least thaught him one thing – always keep some essentials in you backpack. So knowing that he had some strong painkillers and a bottle of water in it relieved him a bit.

Pushing some rocks and debris of off his legs, he was able to move more easily. Slowly, but not withouth some more painful wincing, he manages to take the backpack off his back.

Thankfully, the water bottle survived and he immediately takes two painkillers with as little water possible. He had absolutely no idea how long he might be here, so being cautious with his water consumption would be a smart move.

Allowing himself a moment, he close his eyes and leans on the wall waiting for the painkillers to do their magic. He was aware they won't help completely, his shoulder was pretty beaten up, but it was better than nothing. And he couldn't actually believe how extremely lucky he was to come out of this with only a beaten up shoulder and some negligible cuts. It really is a miracle he is still alive and kicking. Well, not kicking maybe, but close.

Few minutes later, he reach for his pocket only to take out his completely borken phone. He snorts at the sight of it - he was already lucky enough as it is, so something was bound to go against him.

Taking the flashlight from his backpack, he push himself against to wall to stand up. This place was now even more unstable than before, and he definitely didn't want to stick around here more than it was necessary. Turning the flashligh on, he start to inspect the place.

His hope in finding a way out of here soon began to fade the more he looked around - no matter what side he turned to, everything was completely blocked. But when he turned his gaze up, his heart jolted with excitement.

The collapse revealed a hole in the ceiling of the wall, or he just didn't had a chance to notice it before, but that was irrelevant now.

Upon taking a closer look at it, he saw that there were some kind of a wooden boards, placed conveniently to resemble a ladder, and surpisingly looked pretty sturdy, too.

Now, he only had to figure out how to climb up there, and fast - the pain killers did start to work and his pain bacame much more bearable, but he was positive that won't last for very long.

With again some unknown luck on his side, there was just about enough stones and debris laying under the hole already, so it didn't take him too long to add some more and make sure it is safe enough for him to climb it and reach the boards.

Collecting his stuff, he slowly starts up the pile and peeks head first into the hole. Straightening up, he see that the first board is at the level of his hips, wich made it much easier for him to start climbing considering his shoulder injury.

Carefully making his way up, the thought that his climb will soon end in another dead end scared him. And that was exactly what happened.

Screaming out every possible curse that he could think of didn't really help in changing his sittuation, but what else was he suppose to do.

And when the place once again rapidly began to shake, there was notthing else for him to do but to laugh "I guess my luck finally ran out."

The pieces of the wall crumbling and hitting him gradually became larger and larger, one of those hitting at his injured shoulder almost making him loos his grip of the boards. Not that it would matter anyway, because if the shaking doesn't stop he is screwed either way.

Unfortunately, the shaking just intensified, but that was actually a good thing - because in that moment another hole opened up above him, and without giving it much though, he rush towards it, and soon fills his lungs with a breath of fresh air.

Hastily, he pulls himself out taking a few steps away from the hole just to be on the safe side before collapsing to the ground.

Turning on his back he tries to calm his rapid breaths, and finally, as he gaze at the starry sky above him, it hits him that he made it out alive and kicking.

Not a second later, he again begins to laugh, a bit hysterically this time, not noticing that the tears started rolling down his face "Piece of cake."

🟢 🟢 🟢

TWO MONTHS LATER

„Hello, Mc.“ Chief Alan Bloomgate answers his phone without bothering to check at the caller's ID. He knew who it was the moment his phone started to ring - they've been calling every day, at the exact same time in the evening for the last two months, inquiring the same thing. And each time his heart sank lower for giving them the same damn answer.

They might had a shaky begining, but he grew more fond of them with each passing day. Not to mention, that he did feel bad for not believing them from the start of this whole thing with Miss. Donfort, but what's done is done, he can't change any of that.

And nothing of that can change the fact that he had no new information to tell them. Not yesterday, not today, and probably not tomorrow.

He takes a deep breath „You know, Mc, maybe you should head back home for a while, hmh? I understand, you want to be here in case something changes, and I know you think you're doing what is best, but you're just torturing yourself like this.“

He couldn't bring hiself to say exactly what he meant, but he knew Mc were smart, and they perfectly understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

It's been two months, and with the rainy season that started in Duskwood, it would take them forever to safely check every part of the mine that collapsed. And lets be honest here, how long can one survive in such harsh conditions after all.

„Thank you for your concern, Alan, but I think I'll just stick around for now.“

Ofcourse they will, he already knew that was the answer he will recieve from them. And honestly, he couldn't blame them, he would probably be the same if the roles were reversed. He himself knew very well how difficult it was to give up on something. Even harder on someone.

„Very well, Mc. 'Till tomorrow, then.“

~

At the other side of Duskwood, Mc desperately lowers their phone on the bed after the call with Chief Alan. It's been three weeks since they arrived here and made Mrs. Walter's motel their temporary home.

They knew Alan was right, but how could they just leave!? No, that is out of the question! The chances might be close to zero, but until there are some firm evidence, they are staying right where they are.

They grab back their phone and opet the chat with Jessy - some distractions would do them good, and they were positive Jessy would feel the same.

Just as they were about to start typing, the screen of the phone turns completely black. "What the hell!?!" they protest, pushing nervously on the side button in hope to make the phone working again.

Suddenly, the screen flashes and a familiar symbol appears on it.

They stare in awe at the Nymos eye floating on their phone screen, grabbing the phone tighter with shaky hands as the loud sound of their heart frantically beating echoes in their ears.

The screen flash once again and Nymos eye disappears, but there was now a pointer flashig and the letters begin to appear on the screen.

I apologise for my lateness

:)

But it is as I promised you

We shall see each other in Duskwood

They waited nervously for another message to come on, but the screen stayed unaltered. Frustrated, they groan out loud "Arghh, what's that suppose to mean!?"

A few seconds later, all the previous messages disappear and another one starts forming.

Knock, knock, Mc :)

They watch even more confused than before as the screen gets back to normal as if nothing happened. But when a knock came at the doors of their motel room, in a flash they cross the distance to it and open them abruptly.

With one hand on the door, and placing the other defiantly on the hip, they glare at the young black-haired man in front of them "You're late!"

The young man nods his head respectfully "My apologies, again. But there were some...inconviniencess I had to take care of first."

Mc raise their eyebrow "Inconviniences you say. All right. And is that over and done now?

"It is." the young man shortly comments.

"Good." Mc replies. "So, what now?"

"Now" the black-haired starts taking a step closer to them, his eyes flashing with a devilish glow "I will ask you one last time."

His closeness made their skin crawl with goosebumps, and his eyes were so hypnotizing, it was hard for them to concentrate. Swallowing hard, they manage to find their voice "Ask me what?"

The young man smiles "Do you still want to be with me?"

Mc smiles back and close the remaining distance between them, wrapping their arms around his neck. Before their lips finally met, they softly whisper "Always."

What are your predictions for ep. 10?

The end!

🤭

Ok, but seriously after ep 7 and 8 I thought Everbyte was going to kill more characters, but now I don't think they have the guts to do it. In case you didn't know, I really didn't like ep 9. Not as much as I hate Lilly’s arc because I still feel that's the weakest part of the story, but ep 9 was such a mood killer after ep 8. I was expecting more shock and awe and instead we got a photo montage. The only redeeming part of ep 9 was the intercourse I mean "screen sharing".

So I don't know, maybe they'll go back to shock and awe and remind us that MWAF is actually a bad guy, not just a misunderstood individual with a feather fetish.

I'm torn with who I think MWAF is. The theory that Hannah has gone off the rails is very compelling. The idea that Richy faked his death has merit. And for being straight up Michael Hanson, well, that's plausible too. I know people think it's too easy, but I think with the amount of time we've been given, the fandom (including me) does overthink things.

I've taken Dan off the hook for now. After replaying, I really got the feeling he knew Hannah and Amy's story all along, but because of the person that he is, he was ready to take their secret to the grave. How? I think he helped them cover it up. Maybe he even went with Hannah to see Iris. (I refuse to accept the diary entry change.) He drops a lot of hints that the group carries a lot of secrets and he's burdened with knowing those secrets, but at the same time he is fine to be the one that cleans up their shit. You might argue that he was just referring to the key incident, but I feel he admitted a small secret to keep us from asking about the bigger secrets. Or I might be overthinking things again...

I don't really see MWAF being the others. Like I try to understand people's arguments for it, but it's just not compelling enough for me right now. Sure, Everbyte might reveal a sudden twist. Who doesn't love a twist? I just hope the twist isn't convoluted.

But goddamnit, they better tell us who Ted is!! I won't tolerate that nonsense any longer!

I do believe there will be a set up for the sequel though. Like if Everbyte haven't completely burnt themselves out with Duskwood, it would be kind of silly not to ride the Duskwood train a little longer. Having a hit IP is every indie studio's dream, and trying a new IP now would be a huge gamble. So yes, my money is on Duskwood 2 or some sort of spin-off. But if they're burnt out, then they're burnt out.

Thanks for asking, anon! 😊 Um, this was a lot of babble. 😅 You got me in a babble mood.

[rw47vr-key]

Hello dear detectives!!

So, since ep 9 on the way🎉🎊 I thought of sharing some little old observation and doubts I have Idk if someone already said it,in case let me know :)

So,this conversation occured sometime after Dan's accident,👇👇

This is what I told you about @booklover-01040🙃

Dan refers to an unknown girl here.So Phil wasn't the only one who came to visit Dan in the hospital.This person may be Hannah or Amy's friend.Did you know about this @phil-duskwood 🤔?But Dan didn't meet both of them.

He is definitely hiding something🧐

And what I'm really trying to get at is...

Here there's another unknown 'She'!

So are they both same person are two different individuals?But this conversation was pretty before. Again it's a mystery😅

And we still have that one private profile contact Poke while others like Norman,Kay etc. were excluded. (Darkness has private profile too,but since they're a new character so I'm ignoring it)

So,Poke still has a role in this mess?🤔

Amy's profile has a clue in it.Has anyone found some clue here?Let me know :)

But silly me considers Cleo's info about She lived near post office 😆

Lilly was the one who visited post office regarding Ted's letter. I know,I connected two silly things here.Ignore me :D

And then this conversation with Jake after finding Amy's number (I think so)

Before that,we weren't able to contact or save Amy's number,but right after Darkness sent it we were able to.I think that Amy might be the one who sent our number,conversed about this with Hannah for nearly 9 mins(am I right?) and when we phoned her no.,it keeps on ringing - implies that it's still somewhere lying in the forest. (That's really obvious one)

But Why did Jake say we are having a connection here? I don't remember.Please let me know why Jake said it🙃

Comparing to the previous theories discussed in the posts of @jakelogic and @robbybarnes and other fellow detectives who contributed their points (sorry I don't remember all😅) 🕵️🕵️‍♀️,this is just trivial but I would like to hear your thoughts🙃

Stay safe and Have a great day/night dears!!💕💕💕

[delusionalinvestigator]

Am i dreaming or am i having stranger things season 4 tomorrow and duskwood ep 10 on saturday?

perfect. now Ghost. drop a new album.

[hacked-by-jake]

SPOILERS EP 10!!

.

.

.

Alright, I never expected that they would make Jake reaveal more about how his persecution began... and I love it but at the same time it just made me wonder WHAT did he leaked or did.

He said he was on the run for 4 years (I WAS SHOCKED) and that his family, friends and life just dissapeared (is his mom alive? Or was she the one he was referring when he said that bad news might be easier to accept if delivered by someone you love? Like, she died and he heard by a stranger or she was the one who told him about mr. Danfort?) And that he knew the consequences when he MADE the decision... up to this point, I thought that he was just the wrong guy in the wrong time you know? I am wondering if he is part of an organization or something but he just such a lone wolf... Now I am just WAAAY more curious about it.

What do you think it was? And do you have any thoughts or theories about his previous life?

SPOILER!

So first of all, I hope it’s okay for both of you that I took your asks together in a post. However, it is too similar and so it is easier to answer instead of writing the same thing for both. Thank you for understanding. :D

-----

So first of all, for me, the most important statement to you, Anon:

"Even Alan says 'Someone like him…' " of course I have an urgent need to defend Jake here, I was really angry when Alan said this. Alan’s a cop, and Jake’s someone who violated the law, so it’s clear that Alan doesn’t think well about Jake. That’s why I don’t care what Alan said there, he belongs to the state system, so he acts and thinks that way. At least at first.

Well, the game is from Germany and so is Everbyte, but I doubt that Duskwood plays in Germany as well. I think it’s just a universe of its own that has nothing to do with a real country.

Well, Jake, the whole game is a lot of clichés, and Jake is kind of the absolute cliché of a hacker. At least he is very similar to the clichés we know from hacker-based films and series etc. And I assume that the Snowden vibes fit very well because Snowden is often used to symbolize a hacker. But I think Jake is just a mixture of many things.

So whether he worked for the government or not, I can’t tell you. I can imagine it, but I don’t know if it really is.

Although I can imagine it, but somehow I find his character in general does not fit to someone who has thought "Working for a state authority is what I want." I rather think that Jake is activist-wise and has acted for that reason. To uncover corruption or the like, things the normal humanity can’t see, which would be more appropriate for Jake in my opinion. So yes, maybe he worked with an association, with a group, with a collective, that’s all quite possible and I think that this is more appropriate.

Jake says, "I couldn’t trust a single person anymore."

To me, of course, this sounds like he was worried that everyone could betray him, but also like someone has already betrayed him.

He says he lost everything in one night.

So I can imagine that Jake didn’t work alone and was betrayed by someone, which is why he even got into the situation that he had to flee and had to leave everyone behind.

Okay, like I said, Jake’s tied to a lot of clichés.

First of all I can say there is the German movie "Who Am I - kein System ist Sicher" (no System is safe)

The main character is called Benjamin and really gives a lot of Jake vibes, or Jake gives the vibes of Benjamin. Since it’s a German movie, and Duskwood a German game, I can imagine that Jake might be a little bit inspired by the character. (Well, that’s both German doesn’t have to be the reason, but it would generally just fit) Of course, I don’t know if it’s true, but I can imagine it. Benjamin is also the absolute cliché. Actually, the whole film is, it's about a group of hackers who hack the German Federal Intelligence Service.

Now we might again suspect that Jake is inspired by it, and could say that maybe Jake actually hacked the German FIS. And now we could think again that it is just not mentioned, but Duskwood is perhaps still very similar to Germany. So, maybe it’s secretly playing, while Everbyte is planning everything, in Germany, so that it’s inspired by this country, but it’s just not a real country in the actual game. (Can you understand what I mean?) Of course, Jake may have hacked another state agency, CIA, NSA, whatever.

And as I said, since everything is pretty cliché, it can also be that Jake is inspired by other characters as well, or only by other characters. For example, from the series Mr Robot.

Anyway, Benjamin from Who Am I gives me pretty strong Jake vibes. Actually, I’m not a fan of German films, but if you just want this cliché, then the film is really not bad. I have to say, although it is a lot about hacking, it is not really going into the depth. So, as I said, it’s only superficial and the focus is definitely on the confused stories behind the characters (but I personally inspired the Jake in my head a little bit from Benjamin)

But yes, let’s stick to the clichés, because that’s why I’m pretty sure that Jake’s mother is really dead. I’m pretty sure she’s not alive anymore.

Because that also fits exactly into the cliché, a sad story. A young guy who does not know what to do with his life, then is interested in computers and suddenly that becomes all that interests him and the next moment he hacks the government or one of its authorities and is seconds later wanted by them. If you love clichés, I’m guilty of it myself xD, perfect, and that’s why it fits that his mother is no longer alive.

And Jake himself says that Hannah and Lilly are the only family members he still has.

I think his mother was sick, and when she died, he learned about it from a doctor or someone else who didn’t really know him. And that’s why he tells us that it’s easier for some people to hear bad news from someone you trust.

And I think that this incident is also the reason that he took the risk of hacking someone who will absolutely not be enthusiastic about it. I think Jake was pretty lonely before that, too, but had a few people with whom he got along well. Maybe he got to know them after his mother died.

And I think because he didn’t really have anyone in his life, he took the risk of doing this big hack because he had nothing to lose. And I think Jake would rather sacrifice himself to help others, so he was involved in the hack.

Personally, I don’t think Jake did it alone. You don’t hack an authority or the government itself without help, at least not really quickly.

So I think there were people who were there, working with him, and maybe one of them betrayed him.

I can imagine that the death of his mother was even the reason why he came up with the idea to contact Hannah in the first place.

Maybe Jake found out somehow by himself that Mr Donfort is his father, and then wanted to get in touch with his sisters after the death of his mother.

Personally, I am really unsure whether Mr Donfort has cheated on his wife, the mother of Hannah and Lilly. I imagine Jake’s mother may have lied to him. If his mother never told his father that Jake existed, then Jake’s father can’t help it at all. I don’t know, I just don’t want to imagine Mr Donfort cheated on his wife and ignores the existence of Jake. I don’t think he knows anything about Jake, so if he knew about him, maybe he would have picked him up right away or something. But these are only my thoughts, whether it is actually so I do not know of course.

And I’m absolutely sure that Jake was anything but at the wrong time in the wrong place. I think Jake knew exactly what he was doing, but then something went wrong and suddenly he lost everything.

I think Jake was alone and lonely and had no one, so it was worth taking the risk that his plan could go wrong. Even if he didn’t expect it to really happen.

So, I think that Jake either alone or with a group together hacked a state agency or something like that. I think that Jake was betrayed by someone and that’s why Jake was considered a wanted criminal and lost his life because he couldn’t be him anymore and had to hide.

I think, as he himself says, he has no family members except Hannah and Lilly. This reinforces the suspicion that his mother is no longer alive, of course.

I think Jake wanted to expose some scandal and corruption etc. I think that Jake grew up pretty lonely and maybe he was always alone with his mother.

Maybe he had a few friends. I think after the death of his mother, he didn’t care about the risk, which is why he took it.

Depending on how old Jake was when his mother died, maybe that’s why he started programming/hacking. Because he needed something he could do or he wanted to feel useful, just because he needed a hobby.

And I think maybe that’s how he found out that Mr Donfort is his father. Maybe his mother told him himself.

And after his mother died, he decided to find his sisters and contact Hannah.

-

I think I have answered everything so far, at least I hope so, I can’t think of anything else to say.

I’m sorry it’s such a mess, at least it seems like one to me. I thank you both very much for the asks and I hope that I could help you.🥰
