Hi can we talk about how Laura, Bob and Dale remember each other from their own perspectives?
Laura (Seasons and The Lake):
Remembers Dale as a dark shadowy figure haunting her, but she’s able to escape him. She has no idea who he is. She doesn’t think of Bob at all (you could say it’s because of her corruption and memory loss).
Dale (Case 23, Theatre and Paradox):
Remembers Laura as a murder victim who appears to him as her age and as an older woman. She haunts him. While Dale remembers meeting Bob in Theatre, he does not remember their conversations. He remembers Bob committing suicide and becoming corrupted again. He remembers using Bob to get the cubes and being threatened by him, even being followed to the elevator.
Bob (The White Door):
Remembers Laura and Dale as normal people. Even when they appear inhuman, they talk like people who mean no harm. He imagines her regretting their break-up. He has secret memories of Dale comforting him in a bar. He has a dream where he and Dale meet at a club, and Laura is there dancing until things go wrong. The most hints we get of Dale’s manipulation is Dale saying “I need your memories” after Bob gets corrupted. The Laura he remembers was an artist who was struggling with her sadness.
anways. insane to me that bob holds no apparent anger towards dale, dale sees and remembers these people at their worst, and laura is completely alone with fractured memories from beginning to end.
Laura was prescribed Prozac exactly 10 years before it's active ingredient was discovered. Also, it was first commercialized in 1987.
I haven't played the paid games and it's the second time I play the collection, so i don't know if it has some relation to the 1487 code used to open the safes in that game and in The Lake.
(I spent 15 hours to draw this...😮💨 I just want to say that Rusty Lake is an icon of style, plot and surrealism for me. Thanks for the great games. Amen.❤️🙏)
