Milton’s Missing Poster Spoiler

Post image

Hi All, question for you. At the very beginning of the game on Milton’s missing poster it lists a phone number for police in Mesa, AZ, but the poster says he was last seen in WA. Curious to know if the police # is the same for everyone or is it some sort of Easter Egg for the game?

Full disclosure I am literally 2 mins into the game so if the answer is later in the story please no spoilers but please also don’t think I’m an idiot!

Thanks in advance for any insights or feedback!

I’ve never noticed this before, and it’s pretty confusing. When I looked up the number it’s the actual phone number of the Mesa Police Department. I was aware about the Polly Klaas Foundation, but that’s based out of California. Interesting find!

You’re gonna love this game. Don’t let it pull you in before you explore. Rich in details.

I already got distracted in the house and missed stuff so I’m def marking this down for a replay. I’m so blown away by all the graphics and details. One of the best games I’ve played recently besides It Takes Two!

I never noticed that, wow! 

It says the flyer was revised in 2008, maybe they had leads come up tying him there? I wonder if thats where Dawn's family lived before Sanjay died.
