dark dome theories, art dump, and occasional shitposts

[edelweiss313]

I have now finished my index for this series' lore (fucking finally, it took me forever-). It's a VERY long document and I'm too sleepy to proofread it again so I'll just edit any errors out in the morning.

DARK DOME LORE INDEX

DARK DOME LORE INDEX TABLE OF CONTENTS Game Overviews Girl in the Window Unwanted Experiment Nowhere House Ghost Case Haunted Laia Anoth

This is to just help anyone catch up with the games and its stories in preparation for Hidden Memories and any other future installments (spoilers of course if you haven't played it yet), and it helps to keep any and all information about them organized into one file when thinking about the overall plot the series is taking. As of posting this, I haven't included the new info provided by HM's trailer such as the protagonist's name being Lucian and the reveal that Delian would be in this game. This is where I'll also be revising my version of the games' timeline so I wouldn't bombard the tag every couple of months with an updated version of it.

I'll update this every once in a while once new games are released. Hope you guys like it!

[EDIT: Now updated to include Hidden Memories!]

[edelweiss313]

Just finished my Ghost Case replay and, based on Ren's comment, Dan and Mia's deaths being the only murder case the police had handled in over 20 yrs since then is a damn miracle

You're telling me that, in a place like HIDDEN TOWN, there has not been a single other homicide after that??

[edelweiss313]

Super busy with finals rn but once that's taken care of, I'll do another replay of all 9 games. Hell I'll even include the secret scenes

Just a little refresher in time for Everlasting Curse (and inspiration for the remaining tarot cards lmao). Who knows, maybe I can find something I missed and make another theory

[edelweiss313]

Guess who's staying up all night hehe

[edelweiss313]

I forgot how much Unwanted Experiment's main menu theme slaps. That's it, that's the reblog lmao

Yall if you put a dark dome character that isnt Ren for Akinator to guess ypu basically hack the system. Ive tried so may times to make him guess Delian ot just didnt work

[joannaaa0]

Yall he guessed that hes from mobile games, that he has a beard, that he wears a hat even guessed if hes a magician literally question 73 is if hes a magician

Je guessed everything abt the character but not the character himself

[edelweiss313]

Tried doing it with Adria, the only things he got right so far is her pink hair and use of magic

He kept insisting that she's from games like Honkai Star Rail and Wuthering Waves lmao

[edelweiss313]

Ooh la la

Original soundtrack, new design for the main menu, hired additional artists, and the possibility of getting into Steam?? Wow they're definitely going all-out on this game

[sillymilly]

Can we talk about how convenient some Dark Dome games are when it comes to plot?

Like how in Ghost Case: of all the days in the past 20 years Frederick could have attempted to complete his ritual, it happens to be the day Ren Larsen was investigating the case of his latest murder victims, and the 2 people he chose to be his last sacrifice are the same people Ren interviewed that day.

And also not the mention in Haunted Laia: on the day Laia visits her cursed family in that cave, it happens to be same day Adria was trapped in that house. And not only that, Laia didn't even have to wait long to get the item she needed. All it took was a chat with her dad and BOOM! Adria drops a bucket into the well.

To clarify: I'm not trying to make negative critisism on the games' stories, this is just a random thought I want to bring up. I intended this as a funny manner.

[edelweiss313]

Lmao I'm definitely not complaining, it just makes my job of figuring out the lore easier

[edelweiss313]

Drew this a month or so ago, just forgot to post it here

[edelweiss313]

I'm gonna watch the good omens finale after finals week but hoo boy, the reactions I've seen here are not helping my nerves

[edelweiss313]

Yall gotta check out Nox201.Cowboy over on tiktok cuz WADDAYA MEAN THEY DID A DARK DOME VILLAINS FANART IN THE STYLE OF THE LAST SUPPER

[edelweiss313]

Good news guys, I found out the reason Everlasting Curse is taking too long (sarcastic)

But seriously, having their games on Steam is great news!

[joannaaa0]

Yall im kinda bored. Give me your headcanons or theories abt the characters (idk the different between these to js tell me sth you believe abt the characters im here to hear them)

[edelweiss313]

serious theory: Ren is gonna be the next Shadow host, or at the very least be its next target

crack theory/headcanon: Erik Dorian is related to Laia and Tony because of how similar he looks to their mother (based on that 1 image of her in Haunted Laia)

[joannaaa0]

Speaking of Delian Imagine if the conversation Adria Delian whent like this

Delian:my name is Delian

Adria:ohh cool. What is it?

Delian:...its Delian

Adria:what Delian name?

Delian:ITS DELIAN THATS MY NAME

(Ok he wouldnt crash oit that quickly i believe but i wanted to make it quick)

[edelweiss313]

Speaking of which, I think I found out why Delian is his name lmao

So I follow one of the devs on instagram and his posts indicated that he likes D&D. Fast forward to me looking through the D&D server I'm in to find suggested modules for newbie DMs to run and one of them is literally titled "THE DELIAN TOMB"

[joannaaa0]

So. Why do you think the witch choose to trap her victims in these decisions if not chose at random? I really wanna hear yoir theories on that.

[edelweiss313]

Meridia is a fortune teller and Delian is a stage magician, which could mean that the NH Witch targets people who has access to magic. And in Nowhere House's epilogue (the one where we flip thru the NH Witch's notebook after Adria is freed), she notes that Adria was "interesting". If random, then surely Brann and Lauriel would have been captured by the NH Witch too for 3 victims in 1 day. Adria probably has the potential for magical stuff too since she was able to see the magic of the NH Witch's house but her friends couldn't

[edelweiss313]

Ok so based on the latest teaser, the location shown was just another portion of the one already shown in previous teasers

Same gray walls with plants all over, people with merchant carts, and a window showing the very deep blue sky outside

I've also figured out that this is confirmed to be the section where the devs collaborated with a guest artist. For context, they teased that they'll be introducing a new gameplay mechanic and that another artist would help them out with the illustrations for this section of the story:

I follow one of the devs on Instagram (the guy who does all the art) and in his Instagram story where he shared the latest teaser, he tagged the username of the artist and praised her work on the game. As to what this "new type of gameplay" is, I don't really have a clue, I just know that it happens in this section

The question still remains as to where the hell this place could be. The deep blue sky could indicate that this is not in the real dimension, but I doubt that this could be in Penumbra too. I still stand by my theory that this place could be an extension of Delian and/or Meridia's mirror dimensions
