    I saw a theory about this somewhere else that I love: this is what happened to Courage when his show ended. He doesn't know anything about what happened, or where Muriel and Eustace are, but he's trapped in a void of unused concepts and an empty home that he KNOWS is his, but doesn't remember anything else about.
    The things he did for love...

    My general head cannon for what’s happening is that this Robert guy has some bad blood with the baggs family due to his picture having a knife through its head (He might be/ blamed by courage to be the main reason for most of the monsters that attacked the family or Muriels death?).
    The furniture disappeared might hint at them being reprocessed by Robert or some unrelated group/person. The money mini game might be some payment Muriel got right before she died, due to why she’s player two until her picture distorts -signifying her dying. The clock chimes and red coloration of the living room are courages mad dash to the kitchen where Muriel is, with jumping off the stairs being only way to reach her in time.
    And Robert waiting for courage upstairs is when he comes to take him away from the now empty house. Leading to courage mentally breaking due to hindsight and denial (and the game is some deranged fever dream of courage trying to desperately reason muriels death as Robert takes him) or what happens if whatever ritual courage might be doing with the harvest moon spirit and the weird symbol fails.
    And the only connection that wind has with the show that I know of is if the windmill stops, those Ghost horse riders are released and they’ll try to kill anyone who tries to get the windmill working again. But old wind almost certainly has a different reason for being said in this game...

      Muriel is dead and Robert (who the Bags family had a rival with) is a man who is gonna take the house, Courage feels guilty that he didn’t come to the kitchen in time to save her (when everything is red and the clock is ticking, thats what those represent, also the coin collection represents Courage getting his inheritance) So Courage consults the Harvest spirit to find a way to resurrect Muriel, but based on the true ending Courage can’t bring her back so Robert comes to take him away.

    There is something hauntingly brilliant about this game - especially in this era of bringing back early 3D graphics and the resurgance of digital horror stories. This game really sticks with me and I feel that there is this sense of nostalgia and "lost in an era" feel to it. In a more literary manner, its as if Courage is stuck in this void where he is starting to realize that there is no where to go when his show ended; He is in limbo, only left to be remembered but never truly returned to. The game feels like a set up to an episode that never happens: the Bagges are not home, the house is creepy and empty, and there's all sorts of things awry and incomplete in this digital hellscape.
    This was just my brief analysis - I hope to see more of this game. I hope it goes in a great direction and doesn't fizzle out like many other haunted game stories.

    Old Wind can be related to the old windmill the Bagges had in their backyard. Maybe... Can it be a reference to their magical windmill, that stood for "centuries" on the land of the Bagges? Remember: While it works, it makes not only electricity, but drives away the avenging spirits of the barbarians. If so: Is the windmill broken in some ways? What has become to Muriel? Where has Eustace gone? Does the windmill have some other secrets? And most of all: This game bears an eerie resemblance of the game Petscop. Both games are looking "unfinished", and nightmarish - still, "every single pixel hides a secret".
    My sensors keep telling me: This game is not exactly what it looks like. It may tell a story about an exact, real person in some ways. Okay. That "pentagram thing" shows the way to solve the puzzle. But it doesn't bears any resemblance to ANY SINGLE episode of Courage. And still - the coins in the level when Muriel makes an appearance, bearing exactly the same engraving. Speaking of puzzles: How many chairs are there in the semicircle? Does the number of the chairs mean something? We need to dig deeper...

    • @hoppegypuma2343
      @hoppegypuma2343 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I have counted the number of the chairs in the semicircle - 15 in total. If I count the entry point for another "chair", there are 16 points in the puzzle. 1-9, and A-E - entry point, where no chair is considered as 0... Can it be a hex code puzzle? I will find out.

    • @hoppegypuma2343
      @hoppegypuma2343 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I've noticed something about that "fair and good world". After the fragments of the sentence are some numerics if I am not mistaken. The text in hexadecimal looks like this:
      44 6f 20 79 6f 75 20 72 65 6d 65 6d 62 65 72 20 61 20 74 69 6d 65 20 77 68 65 6e 20 74 68 65 20 77 6f 72 6c 64 20 77 61 73 20 67 6f 6f 64 20 61 6e 64 20 66 61 69 72 20 49 20 64 6f 6e 27 74
      May it be this the key to bind the chairs together in the correct way? The way of the "Old Wind"? Remember: Null is the entry point, where no chair is.

    • @PixelsAfterDark
      @PixelsAfterDark  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    By only going by what we have seen so far it seems she followed the rules, he broke the rules, and the Old Wind was all the way to the right might be a hint to the dark room maze. She being Muriel, he being Robert, and Old Wind to the right being the hint to go right to find Roberts hidden area. Her following the rules was the intended left path while him breaking them was the right path.
    It was Eleanor, father wasn't home, and Mr. Wheeler was there to greet me might be Courages responses to the situations. Eleanor I'm unsure of but father wasn't home might be Courage pointing out Eustace wasn't mentioned at all during the game, and Mr. Wheeler greeting me seems to be the ending where Wheeler walks up to him in the hallway.
    Now if we are assuming this is all actually related to stuff "outside" the game it sounds like a person knew this Eleanor. Their father wasn't home but Robert was there to greet them instead. The fact Robert has a knife on his picture and he looks frightening in the game might imply he, or the person who put the knife there wasn't the nicest person and killed Wheeler.

      While there is no definite reason for this, the community has accepted that this explains what to do when reaching a DATA MISSING screen. As once you reach those, the game just reloads the same DATA MISSING screen until you erase the save file. Although no possibilities are closed as anything could potentially reach the hidden ending if its currently accessible.

    And 7 of them are darker.
    But notice that there’s 1 gap on the left, and if you look at the bottom of the symbol, there appears that 2 to 4 chairs are missing.

    A saw an theory where it said that after Muriel dies, courage enters a deep depression that he starts to forget all his memories with Muriel because she was the only one who treat him well
    The circle with chairs represent courage mind.
    When Muriel appears as a player 2, that represent ghost Muriel, watching us.
    eustace decides to sell the house to a man named “Robert wheeler” (that’s why the pennies appears, they represent the money of the selling) and Robert decides to remodel the house.
    Eustace decides to give courage to Robert but courage is too sad that he can’t see Robert as a normal person, he sees him as a monster (just like the series)
    At the end when Robert gets closer to courage, he doesn’t want to hurt courage, he just want to pet him and give him love, but courage is too frightened and sad that he can’t realize that.

    I think some of the glitch effects that happen before the game crashes can be decoded, they might not but you never know and someone should still try.

    *12:05* Correct me if I'm wrong but that man looks like Eustace's voice actor Arthur Anderson

    pixal or anyone who reading this have the game which you have to spead old wind but each time you do run to the first interactive then start at the top of each letter.
    1. start with the O
    2. then form the L
    3. then form the D
    4. then form the W
    5. then form the I
    6.then form the N
    7.then form the D
    if nothing happen then that is the wrong way if not and some did happen then a path is open and we head in.

    I can’t remember a time when I was 6 and watched a Courage the Cowardly dog episode without feeling euphoric.

    haven't completely finished the video yet, but honestly the idea of "cheating" in that one path in branch 1 doesn't feel like cheating and more of a reference to 'Harddrive Courage' where courage has to enter his computer after muriel infects it with a virus

    Hey, weird question but did anyone try using the reshader tech/mod when muriel's 2nd player shows up? Like could she be invisible/non interactable or something?
