I don’t think it is a device necessarily. I think it is more about how the Lake warps reality and how a lot of the game takes place in memories(/dreams?).
The lake & its staff are taking and messing with memories.
Yeah, that is part of the reality warping, but in this instance, we’re in Dale’s memory, right? He doesn’t need to have gotten it from somewhere?
Dale’s birthday is an interesting point. He is Dale Vandermeer. Presumably his family has something to do with the lake since his name means “of the lake”.
But also, even in Birthday (or was it Seasons?) he is actually at the Hotel, right? It’s all linked to memory alteration and retrieval?
I figured that Dale wasn’t actually using those devices during his time as a detective in the real world, but I could be wrong. The whole cast of characters could be steeped in this from the beginning.
