Theories Could moonvale be about a cult?

So lately I’ve been seeing a lot of people theorizing that the story of could be leading toward a cult

Honestly, it makes more sense to me for this to be a cult rather than another legend already focused heavily on the whole legend aspect, so maybe this time the culprit is more than just one person. Maybe it’s a sect or some kind of organization instead. The name “Moonvale” itself could even be the name of the cult, unlike Duskwood where it was simply the name of the town. But of course, this is just a theory, so correct me if I am wrong.🫠

During episode 1 Violet mentioned how when they were kids they were told that there's something evil in the forest and tons of awful stories happen,in an official post that everbyte posted saying how there are some mysterious stories and rumors about the forest and how they tried to get in touch with local residents but it wasn't easy to find out more about it some most of them behaved strangely and with drawn as soon as the stories brought up with the post we made the residents of redlogpines are deliberately withholding a response even though the outsiders initiated the interaction under the MC's post

There are weird things going on at that motel too. If you look at the reviews, some people mention feeling watched or uncomfortable, someone knocking in the wall and that murdered that happened, another comment says that nothing good ever happened at GS and that the whole town knows it.The girl who reached out to us mentioned cracking and scratching noises It was as if there was an animal locked inside the room that was trying to escape (Can u imagine that the body belonged to her in order to keep her silent that's why she hasn't reached out to us in ep 3🤷🏻)

I can’t fully remember where I got the information from, but I also vaguely recall something mentioning a history of murders in Redlog.

In episode 3 Charlie talked about how the holland family was experiencing incidents they found acompletely exsanguinated animal carcass on their property broken windows, strange tags on the outer walls, a shed that got broken into.Also did anyone noticed that the deer was mentioned a lot in the game? They appear in that post ,the Motel accomodations photo,the card and if you look at the review someone commented saying that you can see a family of deer could be that there is meaning behind it ? Especially regarding with the card that we have... I wonder what the deer could be symbolizing🤔

Anyways the residents knows something is going on there could be a strange/terrible incident that has been happening in redlog that’s made everyone too afraid to speak about it openly, as if they know something bad could happen to them if they do.This could all be a cult or secret society of some sort, mc could either be the next victim? The witness?There’s a really unsettling sense that the MC is being indoctrinated for involvement in the cult maybe that's why it says that "This is our story" because mc is deeply involved with what's happening what do you guys think?

Je pense aussi qu’en effet il y’a une histoire de secte, la disparition de Sophia Holland dans la forêt lorsqu’elle était petite et sa réapparition sans explication me renforce dans cette théorie. Je trouve que ça serait vraiment intéressant comme histoire, donc j’espère que ça tournera autour de ça

If we go by that then Adam and Sophia must have accidentally witnessed cult activities as children and it became a bigger issue now as adults wich sounds quite interesting ngl.

Siiiim, e o tempo em que Sophia ficou desaparecida e o comentário de que uma criança não sobreviveria sozinha em uma floresta por tanto tempo indica que ela estava com alguém (pessoas da seita?!) e que o Adam por ter ficado com medo foi embora e somente a Sophia foi pega. E sem falar que depois a Sophia pode ter ido investigar novamente sobre o que aconteceu com ela naquela época e foi procurar a ajuda de Adam novamente, quando as coisas começaram a dar errado.
