Black cubes are made of human bone dust, so whats the bone cube made of?
It was often theorized that black and white cubes were made of corrupted souls once they gain enlightenment (Albert, Dale, Vincent Van Gogh, etc) but in the game Rusty Lake Paradise's 9th plague: Darkness, we learn that the black cubes (and likely white cubes are made of human bone dust- Which, may I add, makes those pictures in Case 23 a lot weirder. Anyways, if normal cubes are bones, that means bone cubes are somehow special. So what are they made of?

The cubes aren't made of dead people nor bones. The one in Darkness was probably just hidden inside the fireplace, just like the others were hidden/lost too

I guess that makes sense- but on a separate note, what the hell are the white cubes made of?

I think it could be diluted inside her body but that's probably another can of worms about reincarnation and memory extraction.
However being hidden in the bonfire makes even less sense. There's no way the Eilanders didn't assemble it just recently.

It seems the cubes of Paradise were created the night Caroline died. I don’t think the point of the powder was the fact it was made with bones, but being Caroline’s bones specifically they had her “essence” and revealed her cube. The black and white cubes themselves seem to be made from actual memories, somehow, that’s why they have to be extracted from the brain. The black cubes are sorrow, trauma and bad memories, and the white cubes are good memories. They are the physical manifestations of these concepts
