    Ada has a note on her at 50:16.
    The fourth of each line says "this substance is to remove target sincerely dark hand Stewart"

    Just a note: for chapter one, the first guy who pushed the other guy off a cliff (Albert Cloudsley) is not the same as the guy who died falling off a horse in part 2 (his son, Sebastian Cloudsley, whose will is being read in part 3).
    So Albert got the gold idol by killing that other guy and bequeathed it to his son, Sebastian, who had the book about spontaneous combustion and might’ve been preparing to use the idol for misdeeds. But since Sebastian died falling off his horse, he left the idol to Willard Wright, who was then murdered at the pub by Ash Blair, a tobacco salesman (per the note on Little Pip). The man who talked to the bartender about Willard’s murder in the cutscene between Chapter 2 Parts 1 and 2 was probably Edmund Cloudsley or Peter Battley, based on the high-collared jacket hanging in the foyer which resembles the one the person in the cutscene was wearing and the fact that they weren’t the ones smoking (and the jacket has no tobacco products on it). Whoever currently has the ruby ring is the person from the cutscene, and they probably killed or bribed Ash Blair to get the idol back from him, unless he didn’t take it and it was just left to Edmund in Willard’s will. That means it was most likely Edmund in the cutscene since it’s locked away in his office.
    That’s what I gather about how the golden idol has changed hands so far lol, pretty complicated already!

    • @hellowormwood
      @hellowormwood 3 месяца назад +96

      This is a great analysis, but I do have one correction: The man who murdered Willard Wright was David Gorran, Edmund Cloudsley’s servant. Ash Blair was a fake name he took after seeing it on the tobacco to ensure that the murder couldn’t be linked to him in any way. The two look identical, and imo it makes very little sense for there to randomly be a tobacco salesman who has no other connections to the story. Hopefully that makes sense!

      @@hellowormwood Gab even recognized David Gorran's sprite in the inn scene, but then promptly forgot his real name and didn't even consider that Ash Blair was an alias (despite David Gorran having a pack of Ash Blair tobacco on his person in the spontaneous combustion scene; David Gorran was also the one who asked Little Pip to get him Ash Blair tobacco).
      Kind of off-topic, but it killed me slightly that Gab didn't realize the rooms in Edmund Cloudsley's house were the servants' quarters and kept trying to put Edmund and Peter in the rooms. 😭

    Some of the cases can be difficult so make sure you have the time and energy for them! As you saw in these five the cases connect to each other. If you play in smaller chunks and need help remembering, you can easily switch to the chapter menu and check the other cases via the buttons on right corner (at least that what I saw in another playthrough).

    You could tell which room was David Gorran's because of the tobacco named Ash Blair in the cupboard at 49:00. In the previous case he had changed his name so he could get away with stealing the "something important" from Willard's room.

    Hiiii so I heard you prefer to get requests through RUclips and I wanted to ask if you could maybe play Arctic Eggs? Idk if its really a game you‘d like to play but it’s kind of funky (in a good way) and I think you might like it‘s sense of humor
