Lakeview Cabin II

## About

This is a secret episode and a prequel to the entire Lakeview Cabin series. It becomes available once the secret best endings to Lakeview Cabin VI, Lakeview Cabin V and Lakeview Cabin III are unlocked. The Movie Theater Hub will now have an unlabeled extra door to the left of Lakeview Cabin III.

## Gameplay

This episode has no threat or antagonist. Red repeats a cycle of waking up and jumping into the lake to view his disturbing dreams. E appears around the island each day and their children on the final day.

The player is able to pick up and interact with a few objects, picking up wood or a rake, playing the piano, and even getting naked.

Once enough visions are seen the episode setup changes to allow access to the axe, which is eventually used by the player to kill E. Although one can ignore the axe, the player can only explore the island or experience a repeat vision in the lake until they take E's life. One final vision is witnessed in the lake before the player must kill their now appearing children.

## Walkthrough

Playing as Red walk to either side of the island, being mindful of the rake to the right, and jump into the lake to see the first dream. You will have to do this a couple more times, each time a new vision will be seen.

1. As you sink a giant eye appears
2. E is in the cabin and when you walk over to her she attacks and kills you
3. In the Mansion Dining Room a man has sex with E until ghosts appear
4. Outside an injured E is shot by the same man
5. A cult ritual is led by E who burns to death when you stand in the middle of the circle
6. A young Red gives a flower to E and when you approach her she switches between her three looks
7. A naked E eats Red's corpse in the woods and attacks when you approach her
8. A giant eye watches over you and the corpse of Red

From then on every time you jump into the lake it shows the fifth vision of E switching between her different appearances.

After the fifth vision, the axe becomes available in the left cabin, and since Red has been disturbed enough by his nightmares he is able to kill E. Once in the lake again a final dream of Red and E as an old couple on the porch of their cabin is shown.

Once Red wakes up the final time the children appear laughing outside. You end the chapter by attacking them with the axe, with the screen going black before it's seen that they die.

## Story

This chapter is considered an epilogue and the true story of what happened at the Lakeview Cabin. As suggested by the pill bottle that can be found in the left cabin, Red is depressed with his life and distrusts his wife, especially since she is first seen throwing a key into the lake and the second time she watches him wake up. He starts to have nightmares that she is in a cult and this is what drives him to murder her and their children. It is up to the player's interpretation on whether Red is simply losing his mind through crippling depression, that the lake is exposing some supernatural past to E or that the lake itself is malicious. The later holds the most water as the final vision of Red and E together is most likely a visual taunt from the Lake entity to show to true nature of what would have happened if he had not ended her life, and that Red had no logical reason to kill his own children unless the maddening despair of not only killing his wife out of fear but also knowing his fear was unwarranted shattered his sanity completely.

It is a theory that Red documents his dreams and (In-Universe) the true events are mixed with concepts in his nightmares to create the fictional franchise chapters that are played through the Movie Theatre Hub.
