Carver Alphabet

Physical Contents

Beanie

• Carver left this outside of Rosemary's tent.
• Written on the tag inside are Liam's initials: L.H.K.
• There is also a date when the woodland was established.

Cigarette Case

• Henry's note is folded up inside.

Henry's Note

• This note is folded up inside the cigarette case.
• It gives us clues for the breaker code.
• Henry's "code" is pretty simple to break. It's a simple case of unscrambling the words.

• Once deciphered, the clues read:

  • The trees that bleed like wounded men. → found in the shutdown report
  • Adam lost as much as the stopped clock when he fell asleep. → found in the logging company personnel files
  • There's strength in numbers. The Herman family needs to be together to light the way. → found on the cigarette case
  • All the fires he lit to keep them away. → found in the logging company personnel files
  • One week before the woodland was founded. → found in the beanie

Solution

• 8 (bleeding trees)
• 3 (time the clocks stopped)
• 5 (number of members in the Herman family)
• 4 (number of fires McCrue started in the mill)
• 2 (one week before the 9th)

Letter from Anthony

• According to Anthony, the lumber mill hasn't existed for over 10 years, yet just as with other impossible events, it exists once again.

Logging Company Personnel Files

• Henry's last name was Kent...
• Very strange things going on, indeed.
• All the clocks stopped at 3 when the wood chipper incident occurred.
• McCrue started 4 fires in the building.

Rosemary's Journal Pages

• Every time Rosemary gets close to Carver's campfire, it disappears.
• There are a bunch of "Things" running around the forest. They seem to fear light.
• Rosemary needs a 5-digit code to unlock the breaker door to shed some light on the situation.

Shutdown Report

• The inspector found 7 children's' handprints on the woodchipper that led to James Berman's death.
• He found more children's handprints in the break room, foreman's office, two bathrooms, and the ceiling directly above the secretary's desk.

• On the final page, eight "bleeding" trees are mentioned.

  • This is the first number of the breaker code.

Tree Rubbings

• These are messages from Carver to Rosemary.

• Once deciphered, they read:

  • "YOU PRETEND TO BE SO STRONG, BUT I SEE YOU TREMBLE WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE ALONE."
  • "YOU WILL NOT WIN. SHE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO EVER WINS IN THE WOODS."
  • "THERE IS NOBODY LEFT FOR YOU."
  • "IT'S TIME TO LET GO."
  • "NOBODY AND NOTHING."
  • "WELCOME HOME."

Kent Case Website

• Password: SticksandStones15

• Wow, Anthony was not kidding. The site is effed up.
• It is very hard to see, but there is writing in the midst of the "jumbled" posts.
• Same as Henry's code, some of it is simply a matter of unscrambling the words.
• It looks like after a while, Rosemary was able to get on here and make a few posts.

• Once deciphered, the messages read:

  • "WE CANNOT LEAVE WE CANNOT DIE WE CAN ONLY DO WHAT SHE TELLS US"
  • "PLEASE HELP" x13
  • "NOTHING COMES IN NOTHING GOES OUT NO SUN NO SERVICE NO SALVATION JUST STATIC AND SADNESS WHERE IS THE SUN WHERE ARE THE CHILDREN WHERE AM I WHO AM I WHAT AM I"
  • "THE MAP WAS RIGHT AND THE PATH WAS SURE BUT THE LAND IS WRONG WRONG WRONG"
  • "FINALLY HAVE A CONNECTION THE HOTSPOT I BOUGHT IS WORKING BUT I DON'T KNOW FOR HOW LONG. IT'S CONNECTED FOR SECONDS AT A TIME BEFORE BUT NEVER LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO SEND A POST."
  • "IF I DON'T COME BACK, KNOW THAT I WENT OUT FIGHTING."
  • "GIVE ALL OF MY BOOKS TO ANTHONY RAPINOE AND EVERYTHING ELSE TO MY SISTER."
