[@aminelm2474]

@@CapMan275 can you explain how to do it pls?

[@CapMan275]

@@aminelm2474 if you look at the slide on the globe, you have to work backwards to connect the starting point to final point. So if you go to the very last slide and start at the finish, you will use the various landmarks on the slides to navigate your way to the start. For example, there is one part when the boat is approaching a valley, so you connect the dots from the water through the valley to the city. It's rather tricky. It's even more difficult to explain but I hoped it kind of helped. I'm sure you could find an actual how to video for the game and just fast forward to that point.

[@supawitchming69]

Rusty Lake I’ve only just discovered your games in the last week and I’ve only got three left to play. I haven’t enjoyed a game this much since I played The Room series. The short film was perfect to compliment Paradox. Great work. Looking forward to your future projects.

[@SnakeEyesOfficial42]

Where was this filmed?

[@sanpan1694]

This game is very different, it is like a breath of fresh air. It took me 3 hours to complete the 1st chapter but I really enjoyed myself playing it the entire time and I cannot stop. It was not easy, as if my head was going to explode, however after finishing it, I felt so relieved with a feeling of joy. Strongly recommend for all escape room fans.

[@thescenema8425]

I couldn't help but interpret the film as a symbolic journey of a detective grappling with guilt and the search for redemption. The broken TV, typewriter, and mysterious girl in the frame all felt like fragments of his past haunting him. The choices he faces, especially the three drinks representing different paths, seem to mirror his inner turmoil and quest for answers. And that ending, when the time loop begins with him potentially trying again to solve the mystery

This is a dream come true for any fan of the games. There are so many things to enjoy in this short film. The attention to detail, the fantastic acting (something that is no small feat given how little dialogue there is), the fantastic sets, the incredible atmosphere, the call-backs and especially that wonderful meeting with Mr Crow in that misty forest. I have been following this wonderful series of gems ever since at least Cube Escape: Case 23 and it has only gotten better with time, especially the story-telling and the characters have come a long way. I love the bizarre world that has been created and the way that it manages to suck you in to a point where things can make no sense and it doesn’t impact the experience anyway. I honestly can not put my love for this series into words and I want to really thank Rusty Lake for going the extra mile with this short film, adding it to the extremely short list of films based on games that actually lives up to their source-material. I am eagerly looking forward to whatever Rusty Lake has in store next, the Lake has sunk into my mind and is never going to leave.

My theory is that he is the dark man with the glowing eyes and he killed Laura but can't face the reality and brutality of his actions. Or maybe just can't mentally accept what he's done.
