I'm having this image now of Slenderman and HABIT sitting in front of a tv playing Xbox or something ahhaha.

The videogame theory does make a lot of sense, especially considering how much the guys love games and how they get mentioned quite a bit. All the Alan Wake stuff, Evan's Bioshock t-shirt (which was in one of the boxes, was it not?), etc, etc.

Hopefully this is a sign that we can still change the outcome of things. We should definitely figure out who the player is, and HABIT does seem like the most obvious choice for that. Of course that begs the question, what are we in the scheme of it all? If we're also Players in this game, how can we wrestle control of it from HABIT?

When HABvan jumps off/over the log at the end does it sound like he says, "Green light" to anyone else?

Running with the game theory, if it's "green light" then it could be that game where the person turns there backs and yells green light and all the kids start going up to tag the person, and when they face you they state "red light" and everyone has to stop... Just a thought.

So, AzureIllusions pointed out on the wiki that Doc's dream here is very close to the actual events surrounding The Dead Girl. The note found on her body that Vinnie reads at the beginning of Ashen Waste basically describes the same events from her perspective.

There's two possibilities, that the Dead Girl is a time displaced Linnie, OR that the Dead Girl is a new iteration of Linnie and that her story never deviated. She played out both iterations in exactly the same way. Going to the Logan Inn, heading East, dying in a burned out school... etc.

I agree... it seems like Linnie was an adult in his dream...

Oh, and Topher, I want thank you for getting me into EMH... I lurk often in Other Media at RPG.net, and I'd never heard of it until you posted about it.

You know, what if we are the players? Or at least the game can only progress if we are involved somehow?

And it's our fault that so many horrible things are happening to the guys because we won't stop watching them.

"Stop watching us. Oh, God. Please stop watching."
That particular tweet, in this context, makes me feel a weird combo platter of guilty, creepy, and depressed....

Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while and finally decided to make an account. So now we know that Evan is HABIT, I find it interesting that he wants Green Feathers to share what he found with us. Do you think that Evan can be reached, like if we appeal to him, or is he too far gone? I also wasn't sure, but it looked like one of Evan's hands/wrists was in a cast or something, wonder if Jeff did that to him? The DON'T TELL VINNY is curious, why would he say that? I mean, Vinny most likely already knows that something bad went down and that Evan was at least partly responsible, unless he's in denial.

Two more things concerning the game theory:

- the entire ash/drowning/MT4-aspect is not just very reminiscent of Silent Hill, it follows the same logic. To the point where it is disturbing. We got the sirens whenever Slendy "attacks", as well as the laughter of the kids. We got the idea of dying by water (and water as rebirth). The cyclical nature of the kids. Repressed trauma. The "Soundtrack"-aspect. The logic would mean that, indeed, there are various endings, and we kind of have to put pieces together so we can figure what to do to make the game end "well".

- HABIT often uses knifes. Now, you guys know how many games are out there where you get insane amounts of creds if you play it using only a knife to kill people, right?

I also always though that we are the "leading persons", so to say, but the Candleverse introduced the idea of us as voyeurs; not "players". HABIT is the one in there that can eff shit up and grant somebody life etc.
So maybe the GF/7Rs-quest is a quest to figure out who to challenge HABIT...

When I think of blending Slender Man and video games together, I think of this.

Sadly, that doesn't explain the boys seeing his "ghost" back in the lot.
