Rusty Lake: Paradox - the explanation cards for alternative endings and achievements - dump.

 THIS IS THE PAGE WHERE I DUMPED ALL THE EXPLANATION CARDS FOR THE RUSTY LAKE PARADOX PLAYTHROUGH. 

THE TITLECARDS CAN BE SEEN AS A STANDALONE WALKTHROUGH - EVEN IF THE VIDEO OFCOURSE ALSO HAVE A RECORDING OF ME DOING WHAT I EXPLAIN ON THE CARDS. BUT IN CASE YOU WANT A WALKTHROUGH IN IMAGES THAT IS NOT A VIDEO.

HERE WE GO.

THIS IS THE VIDEOS INTROCARD. AND AS I SAY - I DID MAKE AN ERROR, AND FORGOT THAT THIS ONE PUZZLE LEADS INTO THE NEXT. SO I WILL EXPLAIN THIS UNDER THE IMAGES WHEN WE GET THERE.

ALSO IT'S NO LIE THAT IT TOOK ME THE BETTER PART OF TWO DAYS TO PLAN AND MAKE THOSE CARDS, JUST BECAUSE I LIKE TO MAKE STUFF LIKE THIS (I SUSPECT YOU ALREADY KNEW) - AND YAY ADHD, I GET A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY AND WANT IT IN A SPECIFIC WAY, AND USUALLY VERY COMPLICATED TOO. THIS IS WHY I AM NOT GOING BACK TO CORRECT THE ERROR, CAUSE I NEED TO STOP MESSING WITH THOSE CARDS, AND JUST GET THE VIDEO DONE.

HOW TO GET HINTS FROM THE GAME (AND HONESTLY YOU'D NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOU DIDN'T USE THE HINTS, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE THEM! 

YOU CLICK OUT TO THE MAIN MENU, AND THEN CLICK ACHIEVEMENTS, AND THERE YOU CAN CLICK THE FIRST BLANK SQUARE, AND YOU'D GET A POP UP IMAGE OF THE BELOW ILLUSTRATION OF THE TV, FISH, BIRD, ASHTRAY & THE FILE CABINET. NOW IT'S IMPLIED THAT YOU GO WATCH THE MOVIE, THAT YOU CAN FIND HERE - FROM RUSTY LAKE, AND FIND THESE HINTS - UND SO WEITER.

THE FIRST HINT IS TO SEARCH THE MOVIE FOR THESE SYMBOLS. I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME SEE THE ONE ONE HARVEYS BRANCH - I MEAN IT'S NOT LIKE I AM A MEMBER OF MENSA, OR HAVE PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMORY LIKE JOHN WOLFE. SO I LOOK STUFF UP WHEN I AM EITHER COMPLETELY LOST AT WHAT TO DO - OR LIKE IN THIS CASE, I CAN SEE WHAT I MUST DO. EVEN TOOK A SCREENSHOT OF THE MOVIE IN THE RIGHT SPOT, AND ENHANCED IT TO SEE IF I COULD SEE IT - NO DICE. IN THIS CASE HOWEVER, I MEAN IT'S ONE SYMBOL, AND I EVEN KNOW IT'S THE THIRD ONE - SO BRUTE FORCE IT. 

THERE ARE MORE STEPS THAT I DID NOT INCLUDE, BUT WELL, THIS WAS THE FIRST CARD I MADE, AND REALLY I AM SURE YOU CAN FIGURE IT OUT. YOU GET A DIAS AND GO SLAP IT IN THE DIAS PROJECTOR AND SEE A NUMBER - THIS NUMBER YOU NEED TO FIND ON YOUR TELLY. 

ALSO THAT STUPID THING IN THE CORNER WITH PARADOX IN IT - IS A TABLET HAHAHA 

THE SECOND BLANK BOX, SHOWS YOU AN IMAGE OF THE CLOCK. GO TO THE VIDEO AND LOOK AT THE CLOCKS. AND THEN ARRENGE YOUR CLOCK TO THE SAME TIME (THIS OPENS THE LAST LITTLE ROOM UNDER THE CLOCK) YOU'LL GET A KEY THAT YOU CAN OPEN THE CABINET (THE ONLY CABINET THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO OPEN YET) AND YOU FIND A HAT. GO TO THE MIRROR, PUT IT ON - AND TADA! 

THE THIRD ONE GIVES US AN ILLUSTRATION OF A TV WITH ANTLERS. SO GO WATCH THE MOVIE AGAIN, AND WAIT FOR DALE TO GET TO A POINT WHERE HE SEES A GAME VERSION OF HIMSELF, AND THEN SEES ALBERT IN THE FOREST, NEXT TO ALBERT IS A TREE, THE TREE HAS A NUMBER. FIND THAT CHANNEL ON YOUR TELLY.

THE NEXT ONE IS ALSO CALLED 'BOBS STORY' AND I LIKE THAT VERY MUCH. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW HIS CARD IN THE ARCHIVE, AND WONDERED WHAT WAS GOING ON THERE - AND HE IS OBVIOUSLY IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO HAVE WRITTEN BOOKS AND IS A PART OF THE LORE SOMEHOW. SO I THINK HE COULD BE WHOMEVER CAME BEFORE DALE? I MEAN THE SUCCESSOR THAT DIDN'T CUT IT? OR WAS HE TRANSFORMED INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, LIKE MR.OWL, MR.CROW, MR.RABBIT AND ALBERT - IS HE MISTER DEER? DON'T REMEMBER. 

ANYWAYS SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO THIS 2 WAYS. YOU CAN EITHER GO WATCH THE CREDITS OF THE MOVIE, AND THERE ARE SYMBOLS NEXT TO SOME PEOPLES NAMES, AND YOU CAN EITHER JUST WRITE THEM DOWN, OR GO LOOK THEM UP IN THE ARCHIVE. 

OR YOU CAN JUST LOOK THROUGH THE ARCHIVE. AND GET THESE CARDS. 

ONCE YOU DID THAT YOU GET A TAPE, PLAY IT - IT PLAYS BACKWARDS, SO REWIND AND PLAY - AND IT'S NORMAL AGAIN AND YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT JOE SAYS. HE GIVES YOU A NUMBER AT THE END OF THE TAPE.

THE LAST ONE, IS THE BOOK ONE. SO THE HINT TELLS US TO FIND A BOOK, AND USE THE TYPEWRITER. SO GO LOOK AT THE MOVIE, AND FIGURE OUT WHAT BOOK IS BOOK X. 

THEN GO TYPE THE TITLE ON THE PAPER. IF YOU CLICK THE PAPER, YOU WILL GET A SNEAK PEAK OF A COMIC.

AND NOW YOU HAVE ALL THE SYMBOLS. 

SO GO TO YOUR ACHIEVEMENT PAGE (THROUGH THE MAIN) AND WRITE DOWN THE SYMBOLS YOU HAVE AQUIRED (YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS). AND GO OUT TO MAIN AGAIN, AND BACK THROUGH THE RED DOOR. 

ENTER THE SYMBOLS AND GET THE GREEN VIAL. AS A PRICE YOU GET AN ACHIEVEMENT AND A LITTLE SECRET VIDEO, WHICH I WILL NOT BE LINKING TOO. 

CHAPTER 2

HERE YOU SORT OF RINSE AND REPEAT, THE BLANK BOX GIVES YOU A HINT FOR THE MOVIE AGAIN. SO GO FIND THESE PLACES IN THE VIDEO, AND WRITE THE SYMBOLS DOWN. 

REMEMBER WHEN I SAID ON THE OTHER CLOCK CARD, THAT YOU NEEDED IT AGAIN. THIS IS NOW. SO YOU GET A CLOCK HINT AGAIN, AND IT IS ACTUALLY THE SAME, GO SET THE CLOCK TO THE SAME AS BEFORE, GET A KEY LIKE BEFORE AND FIND A SHRIMP COCTAIL. GIVE IT TO THE HAND - AND TADA! 

ALRIGHT THE NEXT HINT IS EASY. SO GO TO THE MOVIE AND COUNT THE DIFFERENT THINGS. AND THEN USE THAT NUMBER

THIS IS THE CARD(S) WHERE I MADE AN ERROR - SO BEAR WITH ME - OR REALLY I DIDN'T MAKE AN ERROR, I JUST FORGOT A STEP. SO ALL OF THIS IS CORRECT, AND IT TOOK ME FUCKING AGES TO FIGURE OUT, SO - YOU CALL 77772, BUT YOU DON'T GET YOUR ACHIEVEMENT HERE, LIKE I CLAIM ON THE CARD. BUT A VOICE FROM THE HOTEL, TELLS YOU TO CALL THE DIRECTOR. 

SO JUMP TO THE SECOND CARD, AND FOLLOW THE STEPS TO CALL THE DIRECTOR. AND THEN YOU GET YOUR ACHIVEMENT.

OK SO THIS IS THE LAST ACHIEVEMENT. YOU NEED TO GO TO THE MOVIE AND FIND A KEY WITH A KEYFOB (THAT IS WHAT THE ILLUSTRATION TELLS US, EVEN IF IT LOOKS MORE LIKE AN EGG THAN A FOB). ANYWAYS THE KEY IN THE MOVIE IS LAYING INSIDE THE GLOBE BAR, IF YOU WANT TO FIND IT YOURSELF. AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.

SO NOW YOU HAVE ALL YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS FOR CHAPTER 2, AND GO WRITE THEM DOWN AND PUNCH THEM IN. YOU WILL GET A CUBE AND DIAMOND EYES. USE THE EYES ON THE DEER SKULL AND IT SLIDES AWAY, AND DOWN COMES THE ELEVATOR. YOU DON'T GET A PRIZE HERE, BUT YOU COULD BACK WHEN THE GAME WAS NEW, SIGN UP FOR A PRIZE WHICH IS NO LONGER RELEVANT. WHAT YOU DO GET IS AN ACHIEVEMENT ON STEAM.

AND THAT IS THAT. 

BELOW ARE TWO EASTER EGGS, AND A HIDDEN LITTLE THING I ONLY FOUND OUT CAUSE I LOOKED UP EASTER EGGS FOR THIS VIDEOS.

THESE TWO EASTER EGGS, ARE BOTH IN THE GAME, AND YOU DON'T NEED ANY VIDEOS OR HAVE PLAYED PREVIOUS GAMES. 

I DID FORGET TO ADD SOMETHING TO THE TOP ONE, AND THAT IS THE NUMBER WILL ONLY BE THERE WHEN YOU PLAYED THE WHOLE CHAPTER 2 AGAIN! SO IT'S ON YOUR SECOND TIME OPENEING THE VIAL CABINET THERE IS A NUMBER. USE IT ON THE TELLY AND GET A LITTLE VIDEO OF ALBERT.

THE BOTTOM ONE YOU CAN STUMBLE INTO ON COINCIDENCE. SO GO LOOK AT THE SPOT WHERE THE PINK DOT IS AND SEE MOVIE DALE. YOU GET A STEAM ACHIEVEMENT FOR IT.

NOW THE VERY LAST THING I HAVE, IS THIS - I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTILL I LOOKED IT UP ON REDDIT TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY FUN EASTER-EGGS. AND THERE WERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT BRAINIAC EINSTEIN MOTHERFUCKER MADE THIS CONNECTION - BUT SOMEONE DID. AND WE LOVE THEM FOR IT. 

AY ANY POINT YOU CAN PUNCH IN THIS CODE AND BE DISCOUNT MR.OWL.
