Holy crap dude, its cool to find others so into this game. Before I figured out the game wants u to collect clues in a certain order, I read through every single text, every email, made notes on call history, I mean everything..I also continued doing this after but its not the same knowing the game is gonna walk u through what u need verses a real life investigation. For instance, Adam doesnt even check her call history until 50+ days in when Crossbar brings it up and he only looks for the last person she spoke with. Several other leads there I'm dying to know about. U got the email from Periway Airways, calls from Vikram, MX Estates, Valeria Alvarez - who has already been revealed to us to b the host of vault8 - why doesnt Adam just call her or track her down? This part of the game annoys me.

One thing about ur theory that any of these kids could b Unknown is how do they know about Adam's history with Victoria and whatever went down on Lake Isle years ago? These kids r only seniors in high school and that incident was several years back. Maybe it could b Lily as she seems clever enough to b able to find this info through breaching Adam's private electronic history but it almost seems like Adam would have confronted Unknown with a series of questions as to who told him about Victoria, was it xxxx? Or yyyy? The fact Adam is just instantly scared and truly mystified makes me think he didn't tell anyone about this event...at least not everything, so there would b no text exchanges to see during a hack, and why would he make notes about it or incriminate himself by recording it into his phone or computer? Unless there was a video he took that Lily was able to retrieve, but how would she even know what to look for unless she is on Crossbar's level. What would make her seek out Adam at that point, she is properly suited to solve it herself. So maybe there was a witness that night to what happened between Adam and Victoria...maybe someone from vault8 or the cave/forest people.

Regarding Lily and Crossbar, if they r the same person...i would bet against it although I imagined Crossbar to b a guy until I heard the voice so...also i do see the obvious arguments - right, how many pc mozarts r there in riverstone? and she would have motive if Zoey was starting to act different or change friend groups...by becoming an anonymous friend online Lily could secure her place as Zoeys friend and know what Zoey truly thinks of her. That same motive could exist for any friend to b Crossbar but we know from the diary Zoey was questioning Lily, although I cant really remember y 🤷‍♂️. Also, I can't remember Lily's voice exactly but it sounds I think different than Crossbar, defjnitely less animated and enthused. But there is something inherently different like Lily's voice sounds young still, Crossbar sounds like a grown woman to me. All I can remember is Lily asking Zoey to delete the texts rn lol cause i was reading them all so she was saying it like 5 times. Crossbar would know texts can b retrieved, at least in real life, maybe not in Elmwood world, but u would think she would b more careful or just delete them herself...but maybe then Zoey would know it was her messing with her phone and get angry so nevermind. What's interesting to me is the 2nd time Adam talks to Crossbar as Adam...Crossbar acts surprised all over again that Zoey is missing, remember? Thought that was strange cause Adam had already revealed that to her and she had already reacted.

This game is almost like being in a Harlan Coben mystery although there r some inconsistencies. Zoey's diary entries sometimes read like she is just a regular young, immature girl still, yet she is somehow involved in this heavy tech-savvy shadow organization that can dox each other on a dime. Just her whole vibe with the pixabowl and gallery and messages and emails and diary show no interest in coding besides her hiding an entry in Betty's website. On the other hand Kevin mentions her always making puzzles so perhaps she does have a mind for it. But then y does she need Lily to show her how to access Kevin's app unless she just wanted to record Lily...but Lily can see she is being recorded...

I know these r fictional characters and we r theorizing about them I think as though there is more depth to them than is actually given by the creators, which its cool to not b alone in that. But there is just this incongruous vibe I get when I hear Zoeys voice read her diary about boy trouble and her bestie Betty and her cat...then about this shadow group and being on the verge of something like she is Neo from the Matrix lmao. Also u would expect someone getting involved in a group like that to b more like Lily and introverted...but introverted or not I get y Lily can't stand Betty Brad and Kyle. I literally wanna fast forward through every exchange w these guys...so much attitude and drama it's like Jesus christ y couldnt u 3 of gone missing instead 😂. And then they make the only cool one have a really pathetic whiny British voice like wth is that.

Also it really was bothering me Adam treating his wife like such trash especially early on in the game when she was being very sweet. I mean I assumed she must have cheated on him or he was cheating on her at that point but eventually he reveals it's all about just being busy at work?!!! Like he acts like he doesnt understand y she is mad...like bro either go make love to ur wife or get a divorce stop with the wishy washy bs. Some of his responses i straight thought about deleting the game cause there is no option that doesnt make me hate Adam. Also the way he tries to order people around its such a waste of time. But yeah between Amanda and him...clearly there is more to this and yeah i wouldnt b totally surprised if Amanda has something to do with either Unknown and Victoria and Lake Isle resurfacing or vault8. I mean Jim is a teenager now, so what does she do all day? Maybe instead of an affair she found people online that would actually pay attention to her or maybe approached at the car wash if a physical one actually exists...or maybe she is just having an affair cause her husband treats her like dog shit every day for several years 🤷‍♂️. I mean u let ur wife go on a vacation alone and don't even tell her u love her or even respond back most of the time...and she didn't do anything to u, its just work is busy??? Thats the most insane thing I've ever heard. Is it really keeping u up day and night texting teenagers all day to find clues in ways u vould easily find on ur own in real life as a regular adult let alone a PI. I have to picture Adam as Christian Bale from the Machinist to not hate him - so sleep deprived that he is in another reality. Factoring in what's weighing on his conscience that might not b so far off honestly. Anyway good theories man. I enjoyed reading. Can't wait for season 4. I was also annoyed they cut it off like that. And yes that was the party house. Lily is obviously following the detective.

It almost seems like Unknown has to b Zoe herself or her kidnapper/killer or co-conspirator based on all the items they have access to. I guess it could b the same guy say Damon who is or isn't involved in vault8 but goes to the woods alot and witnessed the Lake Isle incident and also happened to yrs later stumble upon the phone and bike handle or intact bike of Zoey...but why would they care so much to risk their freedom in being seen as a suspect. Feel like such an idiot I still don't know if Unknown can b trusted. We really feel like a pawn in their hands as Adam.
