Hey, so sorry! Kind of mistake that happens when you finish recording and publish at 2:30 in the morning 😆 Sorry if it caused any distress, there were no four-dimensional time cubes involved. I updated the title of this vid and found the missing footage, which you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/KVdYGaGXGQo/видео.html

@ShmoosPlay I'm kind of surprised you actually took notice because (no disrespect for you or content, you guys helped me with figuring out evidence for completion) some channels might have streamed it but didn't record it.

@@jjdoughboy2103 We do this for fun, we're not monetized, so it's a labor of love! :) Glad we were able to help

Good catch. Thank you so much! -JShmoo

I think what made it easier to follow too was you were mostly following the idol around so it was a very clear continuity. Even when the characters changed they had some relation to the prior characters. I also didn’t pick up on any hints to suggest Jack wasn’t just following the corporation. DShmoo figured that one out and I’m not even sure how. It seemed like process of elimination at that point. I still enjoyed it but I almost feel I need a recap because the scope of it was so so broad and we met so many characters and factions along the way. I’d love to hear your theory on Novak’s body. I also expected to hear more about Bagman’s son but maybe just missed it. -JShmoo

@@ShmoosPlay Honestly, I blazed through most of the game in a day, but that final story segment utterly baffled me until I'd slept on it. And even then, none of my ideas panned out until I gave up and went to do something else. Then it suddenly hit me: Hunter Wolf is the alias. I was trying to figure out whose body he'd put himself in, and I was convinced it was Marie. There are definitely hints, and replaying the game helped a lot. When we first see Jack, he's assuring Elizabeth that Isaac's legacy will live on. The thing that didn't make sense to me about Isaac Nowak was that Jack dumped his body, red eyes and all, where it could easily be found, and then pressured his cousin Elizabeth to cover it up. But I think that was the point. With all the experiments he'd been doing on the homeless men, the red-eyed bodies were starting to pile up, and Detective Roy was working the case. We know he went looking for Hunter Wolf at least once. So I think Jack intentionally left Isaac's body to be found so that his daughter would be forced to use her money to make the case, and the related "Red Curse" case, disappear so he could escape notice. The Bagmans were incidental to the whole thing - anyone who'd found the body would have been bribed, and they just happened to have a convenient need for a generous benefactor that worked out well.

For what it's worth, my intuition on the true identity of Hunter Wolf was largely predicated on his relationship to Isaac and the eagerness to cover up his death. As the game went on, you can see Jack also has more altruistic ideas for what to do with I.D.O.L and that he wasn't directly involved with the conspiracy to undermine the O-Range campaign. He's the only one with enough access to the I.D.O.L., knowledge of how it works and motive to use it for something other than profit. He also was the one to discover how using the lenses together compounded the effect, something that it's unclear he shared with the others (we know Oriel ended up in an asylum but we don't know how his condition was explained to OPIG folks). I love the insight about using his aunt to facilitate a cover-up, but I think ultimately his motivation comes down to creating a plausible death scenario for his uncle to cover up the theft of his memories. - DShmoo

Incidentally the biggest plot hole for me is how he expected the millions of other Isaacs to view his apology message that he apparently recorded and replayed only for his own body to have access to. - DShmoo

Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I feel like I need to go back and look it it because we went through so many theories before landing on the right timeline! It's all part of the fun I guess. Stay tuned for the conclusion! -JShmoo

@@nidoking042 thanks for the tip! I think we definitely missed the bit about Marvin!! And thanks for watching

@@johanmilde thanks so much! Yeah I agree the profile pictures made it difficult but the eye color and mole placement did the trick. Thanks for watching!!

@@OKboom good to be back!

Our pleasure! As long as the kid is still alive we are looking forward to the full game 😁

Our pleasure! Looking forward to the rest of the game!

It was a lot of fun! I think the developers have a great start here. The character of Dan is unique and full of heart, plus it's great to see representation in games! The setting is perfect for a murder mystery, and the point-and-click interface works nicely.

Thanks for reaching out! We are looking forward to the full game and have linked to your late backer page as well! We will definitely be picking up the game when it's released and playing it on our channel.

Thanks for sharing that with us! We also love PnC games and we will be featuring some in the future so stay tuned. Oh, and welcome to the team 😄

Dev here, thank you for checking it out! You are not the first :) I have a Mac port also on the to-do but afterwards I want to try porting it to Steam Deck, but it might be down the line in spring.

@@OKboom We play together on PC for recording and streaming but JShmoo also plays on Steamdeck and Mac, so that's exciting news!

@sarahrupert5320 We are also hyped! We will probably pick it up for a full playthrough when it's released so be sure to compare notes when we do.

Happy wife, happy life. Thanks for watching!

We certainly appreciate seeing the things we missed after a solve! I think there's a lot of great detail. Going back we certainly realized all the times we took the long way around. Like in the early one where the Pear brother gets poached, the knives were engraved and we didn't need to use the work schedule. Or in identifying Koch and Turner in the ascension ritual we were just way off and lucky the game's system was forgiving - Keene obviously left the footprints to bring back the idol to Lazarus and we were meant to identify the doctor by the seven seas company stamp. It's a testament to the game designers that there are so few cases where they've undermined themselves but yeah the whole escape route felt superfluous. Thanks for watching, please like and subscribe if you haven't!

Happy to help!

Our pleasure. Looking forward to the rest of the game!

@@ShmoosPlay I'm play testing too and got stuck until I saw your video

Glad we could help. Hope you're liking it as much as we did.
