Can we talk about how in Rusty Lake Hotel, Mr. Owl invites Mr. Deer, Mr. Boar, Ms. Pheasant, Mr. Rabbit, and Mrs. Pigeon to the hotel and has them systematically murdered to eat.

And then in Rusty Lake Paradise, we find out that Jakob Eilander, who is ritualistically murdered by his family, is Mr. Owl.

We also find out that his father is Mr. Deer, his brother David is Mr. Rabbit, his sister Elizabeth is Ms. Pheasant, his uncle Gerard is Mr. Boar, and is grandmother Margaret is Mrs. Pigeon.

Interesting that those are the people he chose to murder, eat, and keep their skulls as trophies.

This idea came to me while I was half asleep lmao

i actually fucking love Rusty Lake Paradise, like everything eventually makes so much sense and connects with each other and all the metaphors and stuff

tws for character death and religion(?) and spoilers for Rusty Lake: Paradise, Cube Escape: Samasara Room, and Rusty Lake: Roots below read more

if i need to tag anything else just let me know

like how people continue their behaviour even after they’re given a second chance

and how Jakob helps his family despite the fact that they tried to sacrifice him a few years ago, and they ended sacrificing him to the lake for immortality anyways

and just the whole concept of an island who messed up really badly was striken with the 10 plagues. i just love religious themes in general though so that might just be me

it’s quite obvious through out the game that no one except for Elizabeth actually learns from their mistakes, gerard continuing to eat despite the fact that he literally died and came back to life after eating diseased meat, Nicholas who continued to search for immortality after his wife died and the lake cursed him for it, and David who became a fly creature after being a cocky bitch, and continued to be a cocky bitch. even Jakob, who doesn’t learn from his previous mistake and falls right into the trap his family set to kill him

the fact that the island is name “Paradise” obviously shows that it may have been paradise before when Caroline was still around, but now that she’s dead makes the name a paradox, since 10 plagues can’t possibly be paradise

how the lake is sentient and essentially is a god, requiring memories to sustain itself and feeding on people, turning them into corrupted souls and making them immortal, but likely in constant pain.

how some people were lucky enough to get the formula and achieve immortality, like the Eilander family, but others like William Vanderboom were trapped as a corrupted soul (before he got Rose to resurrect him)

down to the fact that the last name Eilander literally means “Islander” in dutch and they live on an island

i love the funny little horror puzzle game so much

Do we know who the animals in hotel are past mr rabbit? Also which one (except for mr rabbit) is your favourite? (feel free to elaborate!)

Yeah, they are the Eilanders reincarnated/Reborn.

Mr. Rabbit > David

Pheasant > Elizabeth

Boar > Gerard

Deer > Nicholas

Pigeon > Margert

basically, the ones who wore the masks in Paradise are their assigned animal in Hotel

I like Elizabeth/Pheasant. She, like David and Jakob is just a product of the cultist life she was born into. A victim of it. I like her for the same reasons I like Jakob and David. They are doomed by the narrative. But also because she's a cool goth chick and I think they massacred her redesign as lady of the lake. GIRL IS SO BADASS THO!
