[ABANDONED BLOG] Winding Lake

[HunterEris]

Quick skim and I'm noticing a few things that are similar to Dark Dream Chronicle. Mostly a guy posting his dreams on the internet and a character based around a jester (though mine was a clown).

I'll read it more later, I just found that funny. Probably looking too much into it because of my own perspective.

Ok, sorry for the double post, but I want to make actual criticism instead of just noticing all the similarities between it and my own work. It's just me thinking about it too much, like how I've noticed that ever since I started Dark Dream Chronicle there have been more series with the word Chronicle in the title (and Winding Lake uses the word in the first post).

Anyway, onto my actual comments.

1: Spelling is a little bit poor. I'd fix that before moving on.

2: I'm thinking too many puzzles too quickly. The tune and the password protected zip file and such. It should be fine as long as no more are introduced for a while and the public has had time to work on those.

3: Delete that test post unless you really want to keep that tag for some reason.

4: I think you should have waited to be asked about the tags instead of instantly going "They must have been edited in".

Other than that and me obsessing over my own work, the story is decent so far. I'll probably keep reading just to see where it goes.

Read through this and have the same suggestions as above. Although I suggest actually adding a story, since right now it just looks like rambling about dreams.

The last post was riddled with numbers, so I assume thats a puzzle. I thought about it for awhile, and I think the 9 is not part of it. Its the only single digit and it makes the two paragraphs uneven (4 sets of double digit numbers). Since the paragraphs would be otherwise even, I'm guessing they are separate.

So we have
26 94 15 31
81 13 49 77

I don't really have any guesses atm

Alright, I'm pretty proud of myself for finding this.

I emailed the Jester. Got curious. I'll post again if I get a reply.

[Rabadash]

No email back yet, but I do have a "lead" on the tune he uploaded. I'm surprised I didn't recognize it before.

[HunterEris]

I got a reply.

Seems like an interesting thing. I'll see if I can follow it.

[HunterEris]

Kind of disrespectful way to talk about people with mental health issues in the latest post, which I don't really like.

I'm interested to see where this is going with the dreams. I'm wondering what this storm has to do with anything.

[Rabadash]

Alright, I received an email back from the Jester a few days ago and forgot to post.

[Rabadash]

Response.

[HunterEris]

Hadn't checked this in a while. Apparently the main character was asleep for two weeks.

He did say in one of the first blog posts that Buddy was carrying a camera. You're probably right about him being the real victim in that case, in fact there might be a whole other blog/vlog hiding somewhere.

According to the twitter, a video is coming soon.
