Fun fact- the creator of the game was unaware of bunnyfarm from the Walton files until after the first beta release when let's players mentioned it

[@ladylunaginaofgames40]

Of course there are things outside of the game that help tell the story clearer, including teasers from the developer that gives us the name of the woman who possesses the Bee and how she entered the game. But that's not the most important part of the whole thing: There is a secret nearly everyone but one KZbinr playing the game missed in the Christmas special. If you clicked the bonus sticker that appears as the games glitches out during Felix's stocking game, you get one more audio recording from Thomas, revealing how he ressurectted Louis in the game, and you get to see that creepy face of his again as Thomas introduces the audience to him. This basically tells us that after Louis drowned, the demon told Thomas he can revive his son again and asked him to retrieve his body. Surprisingly, Thomas found the body and basically did what he did with Arthur. From that point on, he obsessed over the game, as its his only form of communication with Louis, until the demon controlled Thomas during Christmas after exploiting his frustrations over Louis and Arthur's supposive affair with his wife

[@LowkeyJouta]

Yo this needs to be pinned this is hella informative

[@sboy2044]

The thing is, Thomas also says in that tape that a person’s personality and memories need to be recorded by playing the game before they can be revived. This either means that Thomas is lying and doesn’t want to reveal that their souls are in the game and that he needs their dead bodies, or he isn’t lying and people need to play the game before they die in order for their souls to be in the game, meaning that all of the Eastwood’s and Auther played the game as tests. I’m not sure which to believe, but the second explanation might explain Isabelle somewhat being in game despite “supposedly” not being dead, since her memories and personality and would be in game, but the character itself wouldn’t be possessed (but that is assuming that Isabelle isn’t dead during the events of chapter 1 or the rest of the game).

[@bluidoiaoi2213]

who found it?

[@ladylunaginaofgames40]

@@sboy2044 where you get this? Is this a teaser for chapter 2? I don't remember hearing he needed people's memories to revive the dead. I also doubted that any of the Christmas victims playtest the game except Isabella and Sam, who was close to her. Thomas may of hogged the game after he made the contract with the demon, and the blonde hair from the drawings implied that its Louis' drawings, not Isabella (she have brown hair). Its possible the demon noticed Louis spying on Thomas and decided to kill him; both to cover up what they're doing and to push Thomas into desperation.

[@BloxxingDinosaurus]

Wait, what makes you think that's Thomas in the present? I thought that was Kamryn, since she got severely burnt. And those horrible noises sound like her infernal screams, just pitched low and slowed down. And I know this might be a stretch, but that thing has a black shape where a nose would be. That distorted Kamryn also had that black shape where her nose should have been. Not to mention that Kamryn's death was on Christmas Eve. Also, those are LOUIS's drawings. Isabella does NOT have blonde hair and blue eyes, Louis does. And Louis resides within Felix, that's why the sequence also belongs to Felix's minigame. This was BEFORE the death of Louis. This was how it all started. By the entity possessing Thomas and roaming free. In my opinion, Louis is DEFINITELY dead. At least physically. I mean, Thomas must have found Louis somehow to be able to "bring him back". He was only classified as "missing" because the police was unable to find him in the lake. That might have been because someone or something might have already dragged him out. of there. You missed a secret in Felix's stocking hanging minigame where you drag the last sock on the left all the way up to the Bonus Sticker to play another of Thomas's recordings from December 22nd, where he talked about how his technology is able to bring people's minds back to life, which is exactly what he did with Louis, and later did with Thomas. There is this video on M36's channel titled "Felix Has A Message For You", which ends with the sentence "The dead do not need to return." And I feel like it was trying to explain how Thomas's attempt to revive his dead son was a futile mistake, and he should have just let him rest in peace instead of sacrificing his soul to a demon. He only caused his son eternal pain through that. About Baylee the Bee, she will be featured in Chapter 2. The woman is called Sam, she is Isabella's girlfriend. If you try to watch the KZbin video ID v=Tvj3u7H40Ho which was posted by M36 in the Discord server, it will bring you to an unlisted video called "Do not be afraid Sam". Go watch it. People say that Isabella went to Sam after all of this happened, since they might have already been good friends or even best friends before having become a couple (Isabella was 11 years old when all of this horrible stuff happened in 1982).

[@linkmariokirby7373]

Is it just me, or did everyone who got a present get "something they didn't need?" Claus, a clock man, got a clock. There's a boot for Felix, when you have to avoid them in his minigame. Andy got a reminder.

53:20 Huh...I was theorizing perhaps the daughter was possessed and that's why she wakes up in the living room instead of her bedroom and Arthur arrived for Christmas and found the house burned.

24:50 The Text simply translates to "Louis" 28:40 You didn't show the whole secret. The Picture brightens, giving a clearer look at The Entity. 44:17 I thought it was Thomas too, But the sound that plays is Kamryn Screaming but slowed down. So maybe............... 46:09 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqfNZKhtfZljftE 48:31 And then 2 were fooled. That's actually Louis, notice the hair color. Louis's hair is yellow while Isabella's is brown. 51:44 "The Same way I brought back Louis" Is a clear enough indication that Louis died that day. He was marked as missing since his corpse was never found. 52:29 Those sound effects (most likely) relate to another case of a house fire, As you hear sounds of a conversation, despite it being shown that Kamryn and Isabella were asleep when the fire started. 1:01:17 Her name is Baylee. Like every other theory video, Pretty good. Confused as to why you didn't record your clips as the clips seem to be from other sources, especially the older version.

[@omegasynth2775]

Also, I just had a weird thought at the part where you said the "rotting Head" might belong to Thomas. Andy at first is laughing a bit, as if not believing it, acting more as if it is some sort of prank. And then suddenly the whole scenery goes black and all of his friends are gone. What if the rotting head, if it is Thomas, is him trying to wake himself up? While Peter and Andy are talking, the Thomas head is still moaning and groaning. Maybe the whole scenery behind them going black represents Andy starting to "wake up" thanks to that, and Peter has to come in and intervene. The Distortions seem to happen mostly when we do something "out of the norm" in the game. Not "following the code" may be what "breaks" the boundries and gives the characters a CHANCE to communicate with the player for at least a few seconds, through distorting their forms to show the game is more than just a game. And Thomas, as far as I can tell, is the one who has the most control over himself.

[@FRD-vr1hw]

I think the entity only had influence over the daughter not saving the brother. I think Thomas' murder of Arthur was because he thought that he had burned down his house and killed his family. If you notice that right before that scene, Thomas had finally realized that the death of his only son wasn't his daughter's fault, and was coming to deliver her a present. It doesn't help that Thomas was already suspicious of Arthur, as during one of the earlier scenes you can seem him interrogating Arthur on his checkup with his family. To me, it's clear that Thomas cared about his family very much, even after the incident that caused him to leave the house. That's why I think it wasn't the entity that caused him to kill Arthur, but absolutely blind rage at finding his house destroyed, his daughter missing, and wife dead. And who's standing there? Who's standing there, alone, over the burnt husk of his family home? Arthur. There's no police officers at the scene. There's no firefighters at the scene. There's nobody else except Arthur at the scene. Did he even call the police? Could he even?

In terms of similarities to the Walten Files, there are some aspects of Isabella that mirror Sophie Walten. -They’re both brown haired girls who were born in the 60’s and have some LGTBQ backgrounds. -They have a father working for something meant to entertain children. -They lost their sibling(s) to a horrific accident caused by a shady individual. -Their families fell apart after the death of their sibling(s). -And they were the sole witnesses of a horrific murder. The only major differences, aside from the settings where their stories took place, is that Isabella’s family’s downfall was in the 80’s and her whereabouts are unknown, while Sophie’s was in the 70’s and it’s confirmed that she is still alive as of right now.
