CRACKED DOWN AND PULLED AN ALL-NIGHTER SEARCHING THE WELCOME HOME WEBSITE - analysis below!
Alright first off, love the little pixel guys they're adorable! Explored all the new pages, loved the voice acting, all that jazz! I thought at first it was a design choice, but I found these little creatures lying about. Clicking them leads you to a video called "answer" that centers around one of the many cast members. Wally is also there, it always cuts out right before his name though.
I didn't really focus on those (too tired), but I think there's a code in the URL? I'll come back to that tomorrow.
What I did notice was the drawings appearing out of thin air, and also being drawn in front of my eyes. Clicking on them leads to an audio recording of Wally, saying various things. The tab names are all one word, such as "I" "Understand" "Will"
I managed to sort them out and got this:
If you can't read that, it says "I Will understand. I will Help You find a way soon Neighbor." Why is it this way, you ask? Why dear reader, it's because of how the dialogue flows. And also repeated words were labeled 1 and 2 so...
ANYWAYS! Entire flow of speech/giant text bubble that Wally says is below!
“There you are. Welcome Home. Ha ha ha! You’re the most! Ha ha ha! ….You’re so still. What are you doing.
Do you like Home? Home is my house. Do you have a Home too? Do you hear it too? You can hear mine.
Do you like to draw? I do. Do you know how to draw an eye? First, you draw a circle. Next you draw a smaller circle inside. Then you color it in. That’s what an eye looks like. My eyes are black. What color are yours?
What are you waiting for. To hear me again? Ha ha ha! I think… That means you can hear me. Can you see me? That’s okay if you can’t. Don’t worry, I know you’re there. You know I’m here too. I will talk to you.
…I can’t hear you …Do you know who I am? We’ve looked into each other's eyes so many times. You’re looking at me now. I have more eyes than I did before.
You know how to draw eyes. You draw mine many times. I know it is thanks to you, neighbor, that I can see. But it is still… I can’t… See.
…Why won’t you answer me, neighbor. Why can’t I hear you. You know me. You do. Please open. Let me in. Let me in."
[There is no dialogue. Only the sounds of Home creaking, groaning,
banging, or squeaking. …Morse code?]
All of the above is directly taken from the website as a transcription for the audio.
So Wally is trapped, and that's all I got right now. I can't do morse code, and if you want to listen to the recording of that last part, go the secret "As Above So Below" part and wait for a spiral to appear. It leads you right to that audio.
Anyways, I gotta sleep now but goddamn that was fun.
