[Spoilers] Jonas is aware of every...
Jonas knows about the time loops.

I'm on my third playthrough for kicks. I go into the cave, and for the first time try to back out after meeint Jonas. Things get antsy as Jonas starts to sound impatient. Then I get to the entrance only to see that it's blocked, Jonas doesn't sound surprised. So we go deeper into the cave into a newly unexplored section. We come across the floating yellow triangle for the first time in a new room. There's a giant amimore at the far end and I'm checking it out. Meanwhile, Jonas is urging me to use the radio. I'm still googling "Saw the man not the dog" to look for clues online and suddenly Jonas starts begging me to use the radio. Now I'm deliberately just standing there while Jonas continues to plead. Finally, I try opening the cabinate again but the doors are locked.

Alex says, "Oh, the doors are locked."

Jonas says, "I know, I already tried them."

No he didn't. We never got that far into the cave. We just walked into that room. We was too amazed about the yellow triangle to do anything else. How would he have possibly known this? it feels too much like an easter egg than a simple error in writing considering how desperate he was to use the radio in the first place (perhaps it's something to do with waiting to get access to seeing his mom again?). Considering this is a game about loops, I am imagining that some information on his part includes aspects of the world from previous loops.

Since there's no manual save mechanism, I can safely assume every new start (if you don't uninstall the game) enters a sort of 'continue' or 'new game+' world. That sounds cool as beans though, I'll definitely do more runs. Just finished it the first time today.

I took note of that bit with Jonas on my first play through. I thought for sure it would come out that he knew much more about what was going on. In retrospect, maybe he did?

I noticed that the flashes that occure durring the possessions are a bit different and longer. They have more figures in them. It's creepy.

There are numbers in the flashes. But I still don't know what that means.

I wonder how this changes things? Because before I thought it was just Alex that was trapped in a time loop due to her self-sacrifice, but now it seems like maybe everyone is too, or maybe a part of everyone?

I don't think its anything.

See a man about a dog is a phrase used to conceal one's true destination. Combined with Olly olly Oxenfree which means its safe to come out of hiding. Or as said later in the game All the outs and free. meaning it is possible to come out... hmm...

Does anyone remember if Jonas used an excuse to enter the cave? Or Alex for that matter.

I believe that Jonas's excuse for entering the cave was that he saw the water.

I'm going to need more definitive evidence before I'm convinced that he's aware of looping, but it's certainly a possibility.
