Tiny bit spoiler I realized aka, it's just me doing another blah blah XD and I haven't played the new update, this is my thoughts about the whole game so far leading up to the update for Day 22

1. The story of the Three Little Pigs might just be a red herring, but I found something interesting. The first pig dies from sickness and something about a rabbit giving the pig chocolate. The second doesn't die but turns into the rabbit. The third survives. Sounds familiar? Now if you replay the game, keep the story in mind, and compare it to the order of character deaths, events, and endings too if there's an order, is Roswell meant to resemble the first pig? You'll know what I mean if you got far enough. Is Sal supposed to be the second one? Given one of the bad endings, he did join Orlando's father to save Dave. And finally, is Dave the last pig in the story? I'll tell you why in a few.

2. After playing through the game multiple times, I just noticed the Path G which took me by surprise because all I know that there are only these paths; Path A, B, C, D, E and F. Each with different outcomes depends on the route you take Who you pick for the Medal Hunt and your choices are, like Florencia said.

3. Here we go, the reason why I think The Three Little Pigs story is a reference to the characters I mentioned above, especially Dave is because of Path G. The ending of Path G surprised me by the way, it seems like Florencia had already met Dave before, he even felt like they had, and like those past memories that Dave lived through, they really had met before and even Dave's dad knows her, but. Like Reginald would say, not in this timeline.

4.Here's what I think. David's father, Roswell, Dean, Hoss, Sal, Tyson, Orlando, Benson, Oswin, possibly Thanatos too and the rest of the cast. This is how the order of deaths happened and I'm not talking about just their main deaths before you figure out the password for each character. At least that's how I think, I know there's probably not an order but the patterns are plain to see did you've played it for like, ten times.

5.Dave being the only one who is remembering ever death and past memory, he's the first important one, and Roswell somehow getting roped into all this meaning he could be the second life that Thanatos's master wants to save. Sal could be that too, based on his backstory alone. It can't be Tyson because, well, he's just Ty. No offense to the Tyson lovers. Dean, Hoss and Orlando is a variable, even though Orlando has access to the Vault. Hoss has already been to the mansion and I think he's hiding something, especially when he know now that the set he went to was apparently some sort of recruitment thing, but Sal had met Memphis before and he probably just sent him there to investigate that place, and then Dean. Thanatos literally went to Dean "just in case", is it also possible that he could be the second one that needs to be saved? 

6.Who is Thanatos's Master? We can rule out a few, that being Benson and Tyson. Which leaves the possible ones, Oswin is the first on my list because the game wanted to be obvious at first but we soon learn that it isn't the case, Dean because, I have a feeling it could be him but he doesn't remember? It's not possible tbh. It could be in a different timeline for all we know. Hoss is, well, he's one that I don't expect for at all. I'm not too sure about Sal because he literally was manipulated, by Hypnos, and who is/was Hypnos? Yeah, it was Thanatos's first name. Orlando has a lot of knowledge about games, and it being some sort of murder mystery in a mansion, maybe it could be him? But there's not much hints to know if it was him. Then Roswell, he's already on the thread and he could die at any moment but I have a feeling that he knows more, and he's more secretive than Hoss and Tyson. And we can't say it's Florencia too, you'll know why if you read it. My final guess that it could be... Dave? Once he starts to remember, and all leading back to the past. He was meant to die, and then that started a lot of chain events, much like what is happening after you[Dave] solved the first death in the game. Then the events happen slowly until you reach Day 17.

Umm yeah there's a lot I talked about and I'm pretty much as confused about it myself. I already memorized all the passwords of the game so it already triggers when it's time to put one on the Vault lol.

so like yeah that's it haha ;w; 

Just a bit of spoilers (actually a lot, not that much but maybe just some) but I'm sure some of you already know this. Don't blame me if you managed to read this.

Okay so I have done three routes still, Dean, Sal and Ty's. Am I the only one who knows all the current passwords (for those three) in the game without having to write them all down? This is just my take but I find it interesting that the game changes depending if you out the password or not, I may have made a few mistakes during the second week.

Though I'll admit, having to go through all the deaths just to remember every password has made it easy to not forget.  Especially since I just started playing that VN two days ago.

Has anyone ever tried to connect the passwords to the characters and the events? Let's say if you were Dave (not in the game, like, actually Dave).

What would you really do in this situation? I'd probably be seen as unhinged, but as long as it keeps everyone safe I will do anything it takes. Well depending on what route you chose (I picked Sal since he seems to be the potential choice for my first gameplay, sorry Dean 💀), very interesting things may pop out what should be written down if you noticed it (other than the passwords of course but up to Day 20 there shouldn't be any passwords left, I hope I didn't jinx that). But that's just my view on the situation. If you know what I'm hinting at though, one of the passwords for Sal... You can either put it in or not, nothing happens (Unless if you are very perceptive or depending on the choices you picked on certain days, which I'll tell you, will highly affect whatever route you chose, you'll notice some changes that can maybe help you around the other routes).

I fear for the others once I get to doing the rest of the routes, but that's how much I've been gathered so far. If you had somehow reached this far without getting bored from my ramblings then uhh, I don't know honestly, the more I think about it the more stressed I get, and the more I will be absorbed in the game (just by going on one of the bad routes for Sal and, you know what I mean). And I actually cried when I realized that I practically massacred every character until there was Dave left, I think it was Path F? Though I already know how to get to that Path now, kind of regretted it especially with how I had to pick between Benson and Sal (you know what I mean, and it was a hard decision for me since it didn't even matter in the end).

Also did you ever thought about the fact that Thanatos was named "Hypnos" first? I would assume that it was Thanatos that was speaking with Sal in his sleepwalking state, but it was the "first" name that Florencia gave him, right? So am I right to assume that during the very first iteration of their universe, did Dave and his friends had already went to the mansion (but is now a past memory due to the trauma)? I mean it's possible as every choice creates a branch of possibilities, and those possibilities can lead to another branch with more possibilities, but the beginning where "Hypnos" supposedly told Sal to repent, not sure how Dave never pieced it together on Sal's route (or why he never mentioned it). And the fire in the mansion (which never happened YET, but it was a past memory so it can happen on one of the paths on future routes depending on your/Dave's choices), I just know that there will be a big revelation where Dave might have to sacrifice himself, or leading to the point where he might fully snap, will be forced to abandon his friends for his survival (which obviously didn't end well if you know what I mean), then it might lead to the hospital scene but instead of his dad (because he's dead), it will be his mom who will be there along with Oswin (assuming in the future paths and routes, he will still be alive).

Okay okay this is what I've gathered up so far, I pretty much memorized the paths and routes that I've played, so I can finally stop talking lol. Tell me your thoughts and I'll try to answer as best as I can ;-;
