The “Old maid” card game also has a musical instruments version called Fiddlesticks which (I think) we can see in Victors room when Tabby visits. They’re both MEMORY games. Victors whole thing is about remembering things. And them unlocking memories with Jade playing the violin???

“You’ll learn that any meeting with more than three people is a waste of time” <- talking to a kid

“Nature has a design. If we can find out the pattern, we can find out the design.” <- talking to an apparition of a dead man

“For fuck’s sake!” <- talking to an idiot

“It’s obvious” <- talking to Victor’s dad that duh Victor isn’t going to be the little boy you once knew.

“If there’s something you want us to figure out, you’re gonna have to do a little better, you hear me? Message is not fucking received!” <- shouting at the sky in frustration towards the creepy children

Well do I have the trick for you! Become a tech bro, wander into a mysterious pocket dimension / hellhole town with your best friend, convince yourself that it's all a fun escape room thing, be unconvinced after your best friend dies. And then over the span of the next few weeks watch other Town folks die via unkillable nightmare hell monsters.

Find out that you actually been reincarnated several times over, and so has the wife of the family you've befriended—don't get any weird mixed feelings about that—and you're done!
