!!SPOILERS FOR THE GAME IN ALL REPLIES!!

AHHH, sorry, I never got a notification for both yours and ToMyself's replies. Just saw your theory thread too! That actually opened my eyes to a new possibility of the story leaning more towards a fantastical story, rather than having the entire world confined in a computer. I'd love to see more of your insight in future updates. As of right now, I'm working on multiple theories, building upon them and finding sooooomewhat good evidence to back them up.

I'm planning on releasing a video about it in the near future, but I really can't bear keeping my mouth shut anymore. So I just wanna spill some mini theories in no particular order. I'm sorry in advance if the following starts to sound stupid or incoherent. Please be warned that most of them are shallow suspicions since I don't have complete theories eoghhhh. They're all a part of the bigger theories (possible endings) I'm trying to construct, though, and I'd like to see other people's opinions about them.

Also, I have to upload my entire comment in parts since I keep getting an error message, something about verification, sorry.

1. Do you think it's too much of a stretch to say that the KEY that Myrddin is referring to is the InteractWithMe! game file? It's just that I find it peculiar that Myrddin says that we, the human, perceive things differently, either because we live in 3d or "reality".

We can technically see his world from a bird's eye view undeterred, since we're not the ones confined in the jail that is Myrddin's room. Also, isn't it kinda sus that this game's Itch banner is Myrddin cradling an object that weirdly fits Myrddin's description of the key? (Sorry, I can't upload images. PLEASE LOOK AT UR GAME'S ICON!!)

"I do know of a key."

"A real one."

"Something that could open whatever is keeping me in here."

"I even know what it looks like."

"A small cube

"Ha."

"As if this place needed one more way to mock me."

"The key to my freedom shaped like the very thing that cages me."

"..."

"But I can't find it."

"Not anywhere."

"And no, it's not just lying around where I somehow failed to notice it."

"This room is far too small for that."

"If it were sitting in plain sight, I would have found it long ago."

"So it has to be hidden."

"Somewhere."

"In some way I still don't understand."

"At least..."

"Not yet."

"You're human."

"Maybe that means you perceive things differently than I do."

"Maybe you notice what I can't."

"Maybe your eyes would catch something mine keep missing."

So perhaps..."

"Perhaps you really could find that key somehow."

"Or at least help me in another way."

2.) Also, there's something pretty sus with Myrddin's name. Or more specifically, what he says about names:

"Does it feel like it belongs to you?"

"Or does it feel like something that got handed to you and you just... kept it?"

"It's identity, but it's also a tag someone can grab."

"And they're not random, usually."

He speaks his name like he's trying to figure something out about it.

"Myrddin.... Myr..... M.."

I think you're right about his name being important, but so far, I have nothing concrete aside from Myrddin not being his true name or that there's more to his name than JUST Myrddin.

It's also odd how ToMyself went through the effort of coding Myrddin to be weird about his introduction. Either that or it's because he hasn't had much of a reason to speak his name until now. Kinda strange that there's a pause at the end, which can also be chalked up to him being awkward, but it's still... kinda sus. (Maybe ToMyself just likes adding pauses in dialogue idk).

"Let me introduce myself properly."

"My name is..."

"It's Myrddin."

"You can just call me Myrddin."

"Simple. Easy. Elegant!"

3.) Idk if it's a common theory among every player here, but I think that aside from his episodes with The Outer, Myrddin's high pain tolerance may also be a result of self-harm and attempting suicide. He's mentioned failing acrobatics (universally painful experience), getting concussed, and that one time where he glitched out during his philosophical questions.

"If the past is already gone, and the future feels locked in place..."

"If there is nothing left to return to, and nothing ahead that can still be changed..."

"What does a person like that do?"

"..."

"Do they just kill-"

4.) Speaking of his philosophical question segment, istg he's projecting or something. He's like, trying to sus us out. It was like, he was checking whether or not the player is someone he can use or trust or something, like he's about to do or is planning something he's afraid that the player won't like/agree with, so he's checking if it's okay to go or re-plan a few things.

Idk, I don't really have proof for it, but I AM working on it trusttttt. There's so much more, but this comment is getting too long eoghh, uhh, I'll come back with more once I have more progress with my theories! I'd really appreciate 2nd opinions and am interested in your thoughts on this too, because most of these can be interpreted differently or are reaches. Your knowledge of Arthurian Legends can surely build on or bring new perspectives to things I've brought up.

Thank you and warm regards,

Player
