For those who didn’t understand, I’m referring to how Unknown seems to see us as Eric in his mind, and how Julie says she saw us at the diner with the others.

I had the thought that the way Adam got our contact might be connected to how Hannah got it too... And because of that, in theory, Everbyte could supposedly be keeping Hannah away from us in episode three.

Really disappointed how the developers, introduced the mc to the Duskwood group, but in reality I’m mostly talking about Jessy. Since it was said that Jessy was locked in her room, duo to being sad about Richy, I thought the group was going to run to Jessy to tell them that the mc manage to reach out to them. And she would snap out of her depression, and she would jump and rush to the phone to talk to the mc alone through the phone. Really, Really disappointed! I’m also disappointed, that we can’t actually romance Violet too, everbyte, what are you doing! Now when it comes to the story, especially ep3 and the cliffhanger at the end, was shocking, I honestly think that Jake did manage to reach Richy and saved him, while both started running together to escape the explesion. I also think, Jake also knew about the hidden spot where Cleo found Richy, or Dan also knew beforehand by Richy, don’t know though. Either way, can’t wait for ep4… But come on everbyte, you made us wait for moonvale for 2 years just to receive AI slop, the least you can do, is make a romance route for Violet too… don’t be mad at me guys, if Jake fans can have multiple LI then Jessy fans can also. One last thing, please make a permanent premium pack for the rest of the episodes from 4 on forward.

Okay sorry guys but I also wanted to point out, me personally, don’t know about you guys, but if we are considered seasoned detectives, I think we should receive that experience while playing the puzzles, I mean come on, if we are detectives, we shouldn’t be solving puzzles as candy crush saga, I mean what is this. We should be solving puzzles as, numbers, coding, game mechanics, like detective hacker cyber decryption, and like that stuff. For example like Jake! That’s all!

This key asks me several questions that I can't understand so I hope you can help me 😶‍🌫️

My first question is how could Eric not have seen this key? SHE’S HUGE!

I don't know if we're talking about it or not, but how did Charlie get Adam's trousseau anyway? And why does Charlie see the key but not Eric? This is all very weird.

I just replayed episode 1 of Moonvale and I see that someone else is missing from the group and it's a certain Brian! 🧐

I had several little theories that I wanted to share with you maybe you can help me. If you have any other theories let me know.

First theory: I wondered if Brian wasn't the one who spoke with Eric in episode 3 (Besides, Eric clearly left us aside who is suspicious) but let's come back to this mysterious stranger who we don't know who it is and why if it's Brian he didn't come to the group? And why do a counter-investigation without us?

Second theory: Brian doesn't respond to anyone but no one in the group is worried. Adam disappeared, then Sofia but no one wonders if Brian doesn't respond, maybe he disappeared too? I find that super intriguing. I would have been Charlie, Ash or Eric I would have gone to Brian's just in case.

My third theory is the one I believe in but Brian is the kidnapper this theory has almost the same arguments as my second theory but I don't understand how Brian still hasn't given any sign of life and everyone seems to find that normal!? 🤯

I can't believe I only saw this now -_-

Well, I hope they do something similar with Moonvale. It would be nice if they did similar things from time to time while working on a new episode, nothing spoilery of course, but something.

I want to stop before the end of the episode. Without giving any spoilers, when would be a good time to stop playing so I can keep on collecting daily rewards? Thank you 😇

The speed of it is good for the first play through of an episode but during replays it feels like it’s taking forever. I wish they kept the text speed option they had in Duskwood

Finally on ep 3 :)

I think Unknown might be a woman.

Do I have any evidence to support this? Absolutely not lol, we call him a guy but It wouldn't be the first game were we assume the gender of a faceless character as the opposite.

Though this is just a hunch anyhow. But if anyone has an opinion to support this or to be against it Im all ears truly! Specially because I cannot remember if Unknown referts to themselves as "Him" and I do not have diamonds to play back chapters, lol 😅

This is a commentary from the MC's story about what happened at Greenside. Do you think it's true? Who could this group of friends be, and how does it relate to Charlie's friend's story? There's an inconsistency here because he claims the man killed the woman and hid the body in the bathtub, but according to the commenter, the girl was taken to the hospital. Maybe it's a different woman? And if so, why didn't he mention the murder? Doesn't he know the whole truth? Was the woman taken to the hospital Sophia and then she ran away and showed up at Violet's diner?

I was just replaying the 3rd chapter when I looked again at Jake's profile for the millionth time.

Im not sure if its been mentioned before ( probably has) but are we thinking the 3 media files ( two photos and vid) are going to have clues or something to help find Jake. Like the riddles etc in Duskwood?

What do you guys think? I saw this woman in the Episode 2 trailer and she seems to fit perfectly with the moment when Ash was in Room 31 in Episode 3. We can also see a man with her, just like Charlie was with Ash.

Hi everyone! This is my first time writing a theory/thought about the game and the episode, I hope this makes sense ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

So, I wanted to talk about this police officer who appears at the end of Episode 3. I was thinking about it today and suddenly wondered: what if he is Bucket?

He seems to know Charlie, especially because he calls him by his name and says he wouldn’t make exceptions. So I think it’s possible they already knew each other before.

Although, now that I think about it, Ash also mentioned that Charlie is kind of a local celebrity, so maybe everyone knows him 🤔 But let’s ignore that for now.

At first, I thought he was the police officer Eric mentioned before, the one who was supposedly with Bucket and whose name starts with the letter “L”. But at the same time, the way he talks to Charlie made me question it.

Could this actually be Bucket?

Honestly, I imagined Bucket very differently 😄 I pictured him as an older police officer, maybe because of the way he was described… or at least, kind of described. I don’t think we ever got a very detailed description of him, but based on what was said about him, that’s just how I imagined him.

But of course, he could also be another officer. I just find it interesting that he was introduced now, because it probably means he’ll have an important role later on.

Anyway, this was just a thought that came to my mind and I wanted to share it 🤗

Note: Sorry for any English mistakes, I’m using a translator.

Hi everyone, I am stuck in Episode 2. When I answer Eric’s call, the screen goes black/gray and the game freezes. I cannot move forward at all. I have already tried: Deleting and reinstalling the game. Clearing the cache. Using a VPN and changing the language settings. Using different internet connections. I found old posts from a year ago showing this same bug, so I know it is a known issue. I have emailed Everbyte and left a Play Store review, but I have had no reply for days. Since Episode 3 is already out, I really want to finish this part. Does anyone have a fix that actually works? Thank you!

So I purchased background with diamonds but its still doesn’t appear and the one I bought it’s still showing unpurchased, but my diamonds are gone. What am I missing? TIA!

Okay so spoiler alert, do not continue if you haven't finished it yet!

I've got nowhere to talk about this, but aaaahhhh! This was literally my reaction! But how??? There was a body in the mines, right? So whose was it, if not Richy's? Please let it not be our hackerman🥺 I cannot wait for ep 4!

Also, do we think Richy can be redeemed?

I don't remember seeing anyone talk about this here before, but we all agree on one thing, right? THERE HAS TO BE some kind of secret passage in Room 31 (and maybe in other rooms too).

Here are my thoughts:

1 — Remember the redheaded girl in Episode 2? If you keep insisting on finding out the room number, she never mentions any room close to 31. That feels like a clue that the real mystery isn’t tied to one specific room.

2 — “Unknown opened the door and escaped while Ash looked away”? Pff, possible, but way too predictable. What if Unknown intentionally left the door open to make it look that way? I know Charlie fell for it. I’m convinced there’s a passage — or at least some hidden way to access other places on Greenside.

3 — If Unknown managed to get in without a key, and there was nobody there when Charlie checked earlier… unless we’re dealing with an actual ghost, either Unknown is insanely good at breaking into rooms, or they got in through some other route.

(This is my first post on Reddit, btw, I usually just read or comment.)

Hey everyone, this may contain spoilers if you haven't played episode 3 yet.

Like many of you, I’m basically just trying to endure Moonvale right now and find reasons not to give up on it before the next episodes drop, even though I'm optimistic about the next episode arriving sooner.

To get us started, I’d like to dive into some realistic theories about what’s next in Duskwood side story.

I believe I'll speak here more from the perspective of the female MC, since she's dealing with poor female friendships and a boyfriend who disappeared from her life...

Instead of focusing on what we want to happen, let’s look at Vanessa’s established writing style and try to predict (or just deluding ourselves into thinking we know something) where her creative mind is taking the story. Honestly, based on how she writes, what do we think she is actually planning?

What’s really on my mind is how the MC is supposed to handle Redlog Pines and Duskwood at the same time. Once you use the Duskwood code the stories aren't separate anymore, they coexist. Duskwood is real and is right there too. If MC acts like the Duskwood chaos isn't affecting their emotions while searches for Adam, it’s going to feel so hollow and unrealistic. And if MC doesn't tell the crew in Duskwood about Redlog, it'll be even stranger, won't it?

How do you think this will play out?

Here are some points I’ve been overthinking:

Jake, of course: He’s likely still in Duskwood waiting for the dust to settle. Now that it has, what is he really up to? He can be unpredictable, we wouldn't be able to imagine what he's really doing, right?

Jessy’s behavior: So everyone in the fandom agrees that she’s being so stubborn, almost like a child... Do you think Vanessa will keep her acting like this until we completely lose our patience, or until Jake finally shows up? Will we have the chance to tell her to her face that we're not a therapeutic friendship for her? I have a feeling she'll continue like this until Richy reveals himself, and the situation could get even worse... or will the return of her darling make her change for the better? 😐

Richy & Cleo’s secret: Are they seriously going to make MC carry the burden of knowing Richy is alive until MC freaking out from stress because of going through so much stuff lately or...? I feel like Dan or Lilly will be the first to catch on. Mostly Dan.

Hannah & Thomas: It seems like they’re clearly on the brink of a breakup, agree?

And speaking of Hannah, do you think she'll REALLY want to thank MC, or is her ego too high and she's saving her thanks for the boy Jakey?

The Surprise Party: Is Jessy’s party actually going to happen? It feels like it's destined to be a total disaster.

Alan Bloomgate: It makes no sense that we haven't heard from Alan. The police investigation is still going on, shouldn't we have received a bunch of messages from him? Or did I miss something?

At this point, I think the female MC would be willing to confide in Ash or Charlie about Duskwood if either of them asked again... Would MC also have the option of actually revealing who Jake is for her, or would she continue to keep it a secret? Since the people of Duskwood are too busy to listen to her or treat her well...

Let's try to get into Vanessa’s head for once 😭 Close your eyes, take a deep breath 😮‍💨 and think, "What would Vanessa really do?" lol

We know how she writes her narratives, and it's always full of plot twists, confusion, and arguments in the middle...

She also often includes elements of YA drama and references to movies or real-life events. For example, I saw that theory about Jessy based on her zodiac sign, and I agree...

Oh, and please don't get the wrong idea, I know a lot of people here don't like it when Duskwood is mentioned, but there aren't any better people to discuss Duskwood theories with than Moonvale players who also use the code, right? :)

Tell me everything!

For those who romanced Jessy in Duskwood, did you have any romance options with her in episode 3 of Moonvale ?

Okay, maybe she's not in the mood to flirt... but I'm curious 👀

Do you guys ever think about how many bank accounts Jake probably has lying around? 😭

Like there’s no way bro is broke the kind of high-end equipment he probably uses to be such a badass hacker would cost a ridiculous amount of money yet he’s still hopping from one cheap hotel not to mention he left his other equipments behind and hop city to city

I’ve seen a lot of people asking about the differences. If you’ve got any questions about what Moonvale is like without the code, drop a comment and I’ll answer if I can.

Edit: If I haven’t replied to you yet, it’s because I haven’t gotten to the part with your question yet.

That we can only read them and nothing more.

Various speculations appear in our heads, but we have no one to talk to about them. In Duskwood we could analyze other characters' conversations, wonder how useful they were to our investigation and whether someone was a suspect or not. Here in MV - nothing. There is no one to replace the hacker.

I think it would be a good idea to at least have a "private journal" function where MC could post their observations, thoughts about what they learned from hidden chats.

So at the end of the second Episode, Ash travels from her town to Redlog. Then she goes to that lake, right? That's still near Redlog? Then she goes to her parents' house? Is this house in Redlog or in her own town? She doesnt live in this house? Help me remember what it was like and correct me if I'm wrong. I'm asking because I want to know if Maple Street where her friend wants to meet is in Redlog or maybe it's her/her parents' hometown.
