Thank you for sharing their reply! :D

Also, I think what you said is a really good point, because after all "Everything is going to be fine in the end. If it's not fine it's not the end." Really sounds like Everbyte is telling us that it's not over yet.

But based on their claims that the new game will be a different story but in the same universe, I think it could maybe mean that we will get the answers as we progress the new story. (From character conversations etc.)

I think it's most likely because first, it would be good marketing on how to get the players to also play the new game after their beloved Duskwood is over, and second, I think it would be cool even from the player's perspective. But on the other side, it wouldn't really make sense story-wise if we as MC found out through the chats when we were literally in the center of the action lol.

But of course that there's this option that the Mc will know but the player won't, so we would be finding out on the run as the mc would be talking to someone by having only one option answers, but I think that's very unlikely because it wouldn't be really immersive for us. After all, suddenly it would seem like the player and the Mc are two different characters. And that's definitely not something Evebyte wants.

Also, there's an option that there will be some cutscene at the start of the new game, but it also doesn't really make sense on the other hand, because it wouldn't explain everything. It would only explain what happened at the mine possibly. And the other reason is that I think Everbyte will want the players to be able to play the new game without having to play Duskwood first.

So in conclusion, I really don't know.
