7 days 7 cryptids

[carmichaelhawt]

I noticed that with book smart, there's a 7 entry of cryptids in the book.
Considering we're staying at the Holler for 7 days, it's definitely not a coincidence right?
So I'm trying to link each day's horror to one of the cryptid entries.
(Spoilers, and also this is my speculation, let me know what you guys think)
1. Ditchlings: Mothman (the whole harbinger of doom? and parasitic eggs? I mean it's gotta be it right?)
2. Shaw Mine: Tommyknockers (definitely)
3. Charles Shaw: Bell Witch (something about ghost and driving people out from their own house)
4. Reese: Jersey Devil (i THINK, I'm not really sure
I'm guessing next episode is Julius first, then the pastor
5. Julius: Tailypo (this is a long shot, but the theme of "taking what's not yours" ordeal is matching up)
6. Pastor: ?
7. ascending to godhood or smth ig: ???

That leaves us with Hopkins Goblins and Ginseng Babies I suppose iirc
what do you think?

Just remember it won't be exact matches regarding the "monsters", the devs are drawing from a wide range of spooky myths and tales; then they are tweaking them to fit the story elements. The locations are each the main theme of the story progression per episode.

woods, Mine, library, hospital, then (in no particular order) Tremaine house, Scarlet Manor, church (I suspect the church might be last due to the funeral being held there, but the manor does seem the more appropriate choice).

The Ditchlings appear (so far anyway) to be a combination of the goblins and mothman; Reese is definitely the amalgamation of the Jersey devil and the tommy knockers seem to be the most true to form straight from the myth.

Not really sure about Charlie Jr. the bell witch does appear to be the closest correlation though. Julius appears to be forming up to be similar to the Tailypo, but I still think it may closer resemble the colour out of space story or with Big Betty's disappearance maybe a form of the ginseng babies.

the pastor and church will probably look like the rats in the walls story.

On Episode 7 we will find the mythic Skunk Ape.

It seems it MIGHT be The Manor itself considering how Wayne goads you into going there stating "Tabitha is going to be busy" but it also could be just a little bit of exploration before we go to the Church and it's fields.

The animation we see at the end of Chapter 1 actually does seem to be foreshadowing the future investigations and plot points:
The Woods
The Abandoned Mine,
Town Hall
The Clinic
A Room in the Manor(?)
The Church's land
Tremaine's Farm
The Scarlet Mine
And finally, the mysterious figure in the Manor (along with the damned locked door).

There is also the Tea room (bewween Clinic and Church), Sybil mayhaps?

What's likely going to happen is that we either.

A) Explore bits of the forbidden wings of the manor before going to the church.

B)The room shown after the clinic isn't the manor and we will go to the church.

Both do lead to an interesting outcome, if this is correct then in theory we will have 8 or 9 chapters (let's say the "Room in the Manor" is not true and we go to the church), this means we WILL HAVE A CHAPTER WHERE SKILLS WON'T SAVE US, I could be wrong ofc though.

im still kinda expecting our player characters to ascend to some sort of greater being
i mean if anything we're already got our spiritual guardian--ehem, wayne--and how the mine collapse in ep 2 works (rock falls can completely shut off cave or fall just right behind you, weird) it seems like something's and someone is protecting us from early death
also mystical trait is possibly the last trait to go, maybe mystical's magic and mind defense could resist/control whatever it is that will fall upon us
and maybe vivian has a similar situation like dr. kelly's (except that we're definitely not turning into a beast and our mom isn't seduced by one)
i don't know, I'm just throwing this out here
can't wait for episode 5 to release and see it for myself!

I also noticed that when you ask Stella in Chapter 1 if shes hunted things other than Cryptids "like ghosts, werewolves, or demons" and if she believes in those things. She basically says that she doesn't...

But we have seen 2 out of the 3 so far in the game (ie Shaw and Reese)...but we haven't seen a demon yet...so possibly the Pastor is the demon? Or perhaps the Demon is whatever Enoch's dad made a deal with to get his fortune...

The devs hinted at this previously where drinking the tea may actually be beneficial in the long run, as you have been trying to resist the effects and become stronger for it, whereas if you don't, it will put you at a disadvantage when facing her at the end game episode. The devs have already stated Sybil's mystical attribute IS far stronger than your's.

Although personally I'd still take the chance on not being susceptible to her suggestions and refusing the tea.

This is an interesting theory, I need to play it again and pay attention to the T-shirt that Stella wears, I think the first one was a Mothman. I also thought that if we are going to find a seal each day, bye the end of the weeks they will be seven like the ones in the Apocalypse.

It's in "how do you resist the witch?"steam thread where it was hinted, If I'm not wrong?
