All Happens in Dave's head while he is in a mental hospital because he already passed thru the tragedy and got traumatized for life
He can't live without thinking what he could had done and that explain why if he choose Oz offer and leave his friends behind, then everything dissapears because that it'd be the most unreasonable thing from him to do
Also, The vault represents his sub-concious and inhabilitie to...
You know what? This is a dumb theory :"v yeetus deelectus
Honestly this thought had passed through my head once...especially when the rat got involved. My memory might be a little hazy, but I think that at one point in a bad ending, the wording just switched to past tense like he was reliving a flashback of that timeline. And the way the background is always grayscale unless something memorable comes up like a CG kinda goes with that theme. Since the vault works on trauma, I’d figured that was the reason they’re so important and cryptic [at times]...those words are sorta like triggers, hence the sound that plays (quite a stretch, but hey). I might be heavily overthinking this, but the fact that I’m able to overthink it shows how much detail goes into everything this game has to offer.🐊
No no no no, remember, Oswin said that the password should have a traumatic connection to the user...meaning Orlando can metemphysis(?) too! But, Orlando said Dave was in a shed or shack...the only thing that resembles that is the shed we saw on our date with Deanooooooorrrrrr the shed Roswell saw when he was lost...maybe it's the same shed but that means he could also be ded from another "timeline" where orlando didn't fight for dave like he said in his route and maybe, Just maybe, Orlando Noble's father killed dave because his father was a policeman? Who knows? After all...
Killing the son of a policeman doesn't make sense when his dad the policeman is already dead, you gain nothing from it and a crime family would be thorough and have at least had dave investigated or followed by their men. Would be pretty obvious dave was harmless so acting against him would be a waste of resources and could risk getting noticed by the police. Also Thanatos explains how the vault works using dna as authorisation for the vault to actually work. Orlando can work it because his dads dna was added but you never get an explanation on how daves dna is in it.
You used to be able to change your name in earlier versions, until it was decided that the protagonist would have a fixed name. That was left as a little easter egg, and you can get some extra dialogue depending on the name you put.
Pretty much. It's a nice little bit of humor given the naming your character trope has been around for a long time when games these days benefit more from having less blank-slate type characters that you could freely name and imprint onto.
But beyond that I do have plans for it. There are a couple easter eggs in there depending on whose name you put in now and I'll be adding more as time goes by.
SPOILER AND THEORY, DON'T SCROLL IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE SPOILED!
Aside from the VERY obvious and entertaining jojo reference, I'm beginning to suspect that dave might be based off from Natsuki Subaru, as Dave... Metem-cise? Lets just call it reset, As dave reset and type in the password, I noticed how more and more messed up his senses become, Just like from re: zero this includes the new update, From where he found out about sal, Dave started to hear his dads voice telling him to give up, So maybe, just maybe, just like subaru, Dave struggles from connecting what happens in different timelines and different posibilities, The only thing that's different is that dave isn't the one to die in these routes, But his friends. The newest update lead me to believe this because of the new password, especially since I'm addicted to the matter of alternate timelines and possibilities, like in undertale and re: zero, This alone is why I love this game and I hope to play more of it in the future! ^^
Sorry for the babbling from this anime weeb and VN lover XD
Hey Grizz, I've been thinkin' about this game a lot recently and I've been pondering this question too, why do people like you create other projects instead of working on the first one and then when you complete the FULL game, then you create another project so no one has to wait for a long period of time? Just a recommendation from your fans, IsaacOnItch.Io, DanielsHere, AppleToOnions, WhyNotGoSlow?.
I was just informing you incase of someone else, I've hear the same complaints when I create games, I am not trying to concern you or make you stressed, I am only trying to help. Keep your work up.
The main reason this happens in indie development is to avoid burnout or poor project management in scope. Sometimes you design something much bigger to pull off than you realize and rather than scrap everything you've made thus far you make something else as a break.
The other side of this is near the end of development, and it'll happen with Password as well, you'll typically want to start development on something else so you have something being worked on by the time the first project ends. Mainly so you can keep getting an income, but also it's just good practice to have something prepared for when your project is over if you're wanting to continue working as a developer. But again, normally you'd wanna do it near the end of development and not in the middle.
Bruh, I've been searching for the Password in day's 10-11 for the vault, and I searched through the Comments and no luck, if someone could give me a hint that would make the password obvious or give me the password, because I have been searching for the past couple of days, I think almost 2 weeks and I've spent day and night thinking and searching, so if anyone could help me that would be great.
Day 10 would be the same password for all characters. I wouldn't really want to spoil you the password. But the answer to the password is the conversation you have with Benson before meeting up with Sal and confronting him with Benson (when Benson ask Sal if he had experience sleepwalking.)
Hope it helps and good luck in finding the password!
They are related to the affection system. Basically, you have to romance them better by picking the right choices when it comes up. May take a couple tries, but that's about it.
I have been looking in the comments for a bit to see if I can find a clue for the password on day 10 (the one before Sal goes on a rampage) but found myself looking even at the most minimum detail, I have my entire wall with sticky notes with word that could be the password and so far none has work. I’ve seen that some of you already found it so I was wondering if you could give me a clue please!!! Don’t make it too obvious because I still want to make it challenging but please I’m begging you I’m desperate.
What happens if I enter both Roswell's password and my route's password? I tried it out but as far as I know, there were no changes except the library questioning part.
I already gotten the one with him watching the move, driving the car, picking Dave up when he's punched, but what else? Do you mind giving me hints? I really want to find out, answers or hints will do good. Watch this, because it is what I need. https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/d/da/Medic_helpme02.wav
Just wondering... On the alternate route on day 10-11 when will the 12th day be added? In the next update or the next, next update? Just loved the alternate ending so came to check up on it...
Spoiler alert! And a little nudge would be much appreciated
Sorry for asking so much but is there a chanse to save Dean from sal :( breaks my heart. Is Therea possibility to save him by finding The password right before sal goes nuts on roswell and Dean
So I'm seeing a lot of important character development that may affect the future updates, How Tyson is now just finding his true self, How Rosswell is getting the point that things have changed when he was gone, and for hoss... Well I guess accepting who he us and being more true is a good thing but, I don't know if finding out about Dave's dave (also named dave) is gonna be a good thing... But hey, It worked out fine with dean so I guess it will work out with hoss....right?
I played this a while back, but i changed computers and didnt pass over any of my old stuff, and i lost the list i had made for myself containing the passwords i had found... is there a list somewhere with the passwords i could use?
Day 6 is the first propper password and is quite a free one as it stands out, however for orlando that isnt enough your decisions matter and will influance the outcome.
I know, I already did all of the others passwords, I was just a bit confused about why Orlando kept dying, but it was because I kept pressing "follow" lol
Its been eluded to that dave can die or atleast will be able to (think grizz may have said somewhere that everyone can die including dave but mite be misremembering) and orlando tells you how he saw dave die and the vault does show things that have happened so lets hope its avoded.
If that would be the case, that's a relieve. Although, characters with plot armor are no fun. Then you have that strike of curiosity (at least I always do) to try and mess with the heavy stuff and see how the game handles it (that means even killing the protagonist and basically ruin the whole plot).
Im so confused. Trying to get a good route with dean.Got The bad ending on deans route first, restarted and got through it, but then i get bensons bad ending while playing deans route. Like what did i miss? Dean is bae btw 💖
sorry but thats wrong ;-; in one of my old saves i named my character "shiro" and it saved , when tyson was serious and he said my name "Shiro" not Dave ;-;. But for some reason when i started a new route it doesnt save now
It was changed a few builds ago for dave to be cannon any new playthroughs will be named dave with no way to change it, the coffee cup name input is for easter eggs. You can keep trying if you like but im sure grizz will varify it next time hes in the comments.
No, it's not wrong. A few updates back a change was made to the earlier days where that was edited (I think it was 5 updates ago?). But because I knew a bunch of people had old saves, I've been supporting that in-code so it's not strange. Any new saves you'll be forced into having "Dave", but if you have old ones you'll be able to use the name you picked then.
i see everybody talking about day 11 and i'm confused on how to gey there due to the reason that it says that its the endof the demo on day 10......help
Getting kinda confused as to what Sal's second password is cause when I decided to give up and got the Benson ending it didn't really give me any ideas as to what it could possibly be
ugh.. there are many passwords in that day and only 1 password that lead to save Benson... Did you already get one of it? if not, try to think what Orlando said in the hospital first.
If you struggle with the Orlando part, you can play Hoss' route first. At some point, Hoss finds a paper with a bunch of passwords and two of them work. With the Roswell's part, I can't really add anything that ice bear san already said (just write down any suspicious words. Also, Dave repeats the password after Roswell, so maybe use this as a hint).

I had a similar thought really.
**SPOILERS**
Honestly this thought had passed through my head once...especially when the rat got involved.

10 days left!!!!
This game gives me danganronpa vibes...
*Cries in Nanami*
plis no
But you are right
This is interesting that only guys which route we are playing dying first. I mean, propably killer is obsessed on Dave or want him to get insane.
Maybe this is why he (propably ) killed himself in Orlando's vision. To stop killing. Also password was sacriface.
Kinda strange way to purposefully kill yourself, just shish kebabing yourself on a meat hook.
No no no no, remember, Oswin said that the password should have a traumatic connection to the user...meaning Orlando can metemphysis(?) too! But, Orlando said Dave was in a shed or shack...the only thing that resembles that is the shed we saw on our date with Dean ooooooorrrrrr the shed Roswell saw when he was lost...maybe it's the same shed but that means he could also be ded from another "timeline" where orlando didn't fight for dave like he said in his route and maybe, Just maybe, Orlando Noble's father killed dave because his father was a policeman? Who knows? After all...
time is relevant...
wait... Orlando never said it was a shack... I thought
Killing the son of a policeman doesn't make sense when his dad the policeman is already dead, you gain nothing from it and a crime family would be thorough and have at least had dave investigated or followed by their men. Would be pretty obvious dave was harmless so acting against him would be a waste of resources and could risk getting noticed by the police. Also Thanatos explains how the vault works using dna as authorisation for the vault to actually work. Orlando can work it because his dads dna was added but you never get an explanation on how daves dna is in it.
Ah... someone of good taste, I see... totally thought about that too... it's Danganronpa, but gay and in visual novel style...
this game makes me sad because most of the characters die only a few who don't
who don't :D
Oswin thats for sure, Tathanos too
Oswin died , Thanatos hmmm... yep only Thanatos that still doesn't die
and Dave
uh, No not yet, Oswin hasn't died yet, And just a reminder, Oswin is tge scientist, He hasn't died yet as far as the game goes
... u sure? maybe he doesn't :)
Try some crazy choices, it looks like you missed some parts of the alternative possibilities (someone leaves and... well, that's a suprise).
you can save everyone using the passwords in the vault
Not before seeing how everyone literally fucking die
Also, I think Grizz may hate Orlando for some reason xD
why though? 🤔
Keep an eye on him and every bad ending
You"ll note a pattern
But as Grizz said, he doesnt hate him, he just unlucky xD
well, I can agree about it XD
"Spoiler"
Like when Orlando was shot by Ty and Dean and was taken to hospital... After he recovered, he got shot by someone and die.
But I thought Roswell is more unlucky, got sick and died, or died near the mansion when tried investigating Benson's death, and/or killed by Sal... XD
Nah, I don't hate Orlando. I just get tired of writing the same character over and over as a priority due to popularity.
I try not to let it impact on the writing quality.
yes sir! 15! how i feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs069dndIYk
15 days left until my favorite vn will publish an update~~~~~
15 days left for Orlando,Sal and Dean~~
Why say it like that tho lol
A question whats the point of asking for your name if your just gonna get called Dave? I don't mean to be rude just wondering.
You used to be able to change your name in earlier versions, until it was decided that the protagonist would have a fixed name. That was left as a little easter egg, and you can get some extra dialogue depending on the name you put.
Pretty much. It's a nice little bit of humor given the naming your character trope has been around for a long time when games these days benefit more from having less blank-slate type characters that you could freely name and imprint onto.
But beyond that I do have plans for it. There are a couple easter eggs in there depending on whose name you put in now and I'll be adding more as time goes by.
read carefully after Dave and others went back to their home.
How many possible questions do Oz have? I have recorded about 50 questions...
I lost count when I was last asked. It was for sure around 70 at least.
ah ok thanks, I already got 63 right now, 7 more to go
What- all I got are 13 XD
bruh I got like, 3 wdym
oof xD
spoilers ? kinda ? I dunno xD
Played the new update and its great but i really felt bad for Hoss ;-; I think Dave changed but i dunno why ;-;
With a lot of things happend, i'm not sursprised that Dave act paranoid.
SPOILER AND THEORY, DON'T SCROLL IF YOU DON'T WANNA BE SPOILED!
Aside from the VERY obvious and entertaining jojo reference, I'm beginning to suspect that dave might be based off from Natsuki Subaru, as Dave... Metem-cise?

Sorry for the babbling from this anime weeb and VN lover XD
(Is grizz a weeb I wonder?)
Is it bad that alternative route are my favorite? xd
I think no, because bad timeline day 11 is my favorite too xD
Hey Grizz, I've been thinkin' about this game a lot recently and I've been pondering this question too, why do people like you create other projects instead of working on the first one and then when you complete the FULL game, then you create another project so no one has to wait for a long period of time? Just a recommendation from your fans, IsaacOnItch.Io, DanielsHere, AppleToOnions, WhyNotGoSlow?.
Given I'm only currently developing Password, I don't see how this would be a concern to you.
I was just informing you incase of someone else, I've hear the same complaints when I create games, I am not trying to concern you or make you stressed, I am only trying to help. Keep your work up.
Oh! Sorry, I misunderstood.
The main reason this happens in indie development is to avoid burnout or poor project management in scope. Sometimes you design something much bigger to pull off than you realize and rather than scrap everything you've made thus far you make something else as a break.

Can anyone help with the second password (day 7-8 i think?) I can't seem to find it . Can anyone give me a hint?
Have you played what happens if you don't put in the password until it ends?
I did and found it thank you!
Do all the characters have romance routes or no?
All the six friends are romance routes.
Alright thank you for answering!!
Bruh, I've been searching for the Password in day's 10-11 for the vault, and I searched through the Comments and no luck, if someone could give me a hint that would make the password obvious or give me the password, because I have been searching for the past couple of days, I think almost 2 weeks and I've spent day and night thinking and searching, so if anyone could help me that would be great.
What happens that night if you didn't put the password?
Day 10 would be the same password for all characters. I wouldn't really want to spoil you the password. But the answer to the password is the conversation you have with Benson before meeting up with Sal and confronting him with Benson (when Benson ask Sal if he had experience sleepwalking.)
Hope it helps and good luck in finding the password!
Thank you so much!
and if you reveal Oz, Sal will tell it instead when Roswell talks with Sal.
Hey, i have a question, I cannot find two CG's one is second from Dean route and other is also second from Hoss route. Where can I find it?
They are related to the affection system. Basically, you have to romance them better by picking the right choices when it comes up. May take a couple tries, but that's about it.
Is there a specific update day every month?
On the 15th.
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT
I have been looking in the comments for a bit to see if I can find a clue for the password on day 10 (the one before Sal goes on a rampage) but found myself looking even at the most minimum detail, I have my entire wall with sticky notes with word that could be the password and so far none has work. I’ve seen that some of you already found it so I was wondering if you could give me a clue please!!! Don’t make it too obvious because I still want to make it challenging but please I’m begging you I’m desperate.
the password is in day 10 after talking with your partner and there is too in bad timeline day 11
Ty so much, I have been lost for a long time, I’ll fill my wall with sticky notes again lmao
Can someone be more specific plz
look for a word that fits what dave thinks about at the vault, after all 'what is the worst case scenario'
What happens if I enter both Roswell's password and my route's password? I tried it out but as far as I know, there were no changes except the library questioning part.
yep, there were no changes
Dang I thought more content would appear or something, well that sucks I guess
Did you make the music for the game as well?
Not entirely. I composed two tracks for the game myself and the rest were done semi-collaboratively by Civ Valian and I.
that's cool :3
I require some help, if someone doesn't mind. Can anyone tell me how to get every single scene with Tyson, I already got the Death one obviously.
The only gallery CG that's not on his route is the first one. You get that by playing a different route at this point in time.
I already gotten the one with him watching the move, driving the car, picking Dave up when he's punched, but what else? Do you mind giving me hints? I really want to find out, answers or hints will do good. Watch this, because it is what I need. https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/d/da/Medic_helpme02.wav
Play Tyson route until day 11 so you will get them all -_-
Alright.
Hey Grizz, I'm super curious, do you have an idea of like when will you start adding the new sprites?
When I get them all done, basically. Anything more specific no, but they're almost done.
Wait, so is day 11 the official end of the demo, or just until further updates come?
Just until more updates.
I don't really know, but I'm sure if you choose the right choice, you will get affection.
Basically this.
Just wondering... On the alternate route on day 10-11 when will the 12th day be added? In the next update or the next, next update? Just loved the alternate ending so came to check up on it...
I think every 15th of the month.
its not in the next update, next is day 11 for sal, dean and orlando
Patrons are looking likely to get that day 12 next update, so functionally 2 months from now for public.
Spoiler alert! And a little nudge would be much appreciated
Sorry for asking so much but is there a chanse to save Dean from sal :( breaks my heart. Is Therea possibility to save him by finding The password right before sal goes nuts on roswell and Dean
Yup.
oof , that day password was hard.. I needed 3 days to find it xD
I just kind of kept guessing for a few minutes and apparently I got lucky :3
oh nice ;3
Damn. Well ill keep looking. And btw, is there anything to gain from asking question to oswin?
well, you can gain information early from him. not asking him a question is okay. (sorry, my english is so bad).
So I'm seeing a lot of important character development that may affect the future updates, How Tyson is now just finding his true self, How Rosswell is getting the point that things have changed when he was gone, and for hoss... Well I guess accepting who he us and being more true is a good thing but, I don't know if finding out about Dave's dave (also named dave) is gonna be a good thing... But hey, It worked out fine with dean so I guess it will work out with hoss....right?
I love tyson so much.
how do you get the second scene in the gallery for hoss?
high affection Hoss and hold his hand in the library if I ain't wrong.
Found it, thanks :3
I played this a while back, but i changed computers and didnt pass over any of my old stuff, and i lost the list i had made for myself containing the passwords i had found... is there a list somewhere with the passwords i could use?
When is Tyson day 11 going to be released ಥ‿ಥ
It has already been in the last update
Ty is best boi
Yes
I've been trying to save Orlando on day six, but I cant get anything 😂
Day 6 is the first propper password and is quite a free one as it stands out, however for orlando that isnt enough your decisions matter and will influance the outcome.
I know, I already did all of the others passwords, I was just a bit confused about why Orlando kept dying, but it was because I kept pressing "follow" lol
every character dies
if you let them
Dave and Thanatos are still immortal. And I hope it stays that way...
Its been eluded to that dave can die or atleast will be able to (think grizz may have said somewhere that everyone can die including dave but mite be misremembering) and orlando tells you how he saw dave die and the vault does show things that have happened so lets hope its avoded.
What is plot armour?
If that would be the case, that's a relieve. Although, characters with plot armor are no fun. Then you have that strike of curiosity (at least I always do) to try and mess with the heavy stuff and see how the game handles it (that means even killing the protagonist and basically ruin the whole plot).
Dean... no. NO!
Ahem, there's three braches on day 11... right?
first time and password so only two if you dont count the bad time line from a previous password
1. reveal oz day 11.
2. support Benson, stay in the room.
3. support Benson, visit the vault.
... right?
Those are the ones I'm thinking about.
im mistaking it for day 12, my bad
it's for day 12...
There's no day 12.
and this is why i should sleep more than like 5hrs every 48hrs yay for the mashed potato called my brain
Im so confused. Trying to get a good route with dean.Got The bad ending on deans route first, restarted and got through it, but then i get bensons bad ending while playing deans route. Like what did i miss? Dean is bae btw 💖
benson has three passwords pay attention to the bad ends one of the words in them will be the password
Im still confused. I was playing deans route and it ended up with benson eating a bullet and ended the story for Dean 😟
you need to save benson to progress in the story, after that roadblock if you cant solve the password people will die and the story will just continue
i give up. Benson just keep ending up dead. Fml
Do i need to play all characters and get bad endings to progress?
theres a name bug. after typing in your name it comes up as "Dave" still.
dave is the cannon name and can't be changed that moment at the start is just for easter eggs
sorry but thats wrong ;-; in one of my old saves i named my character "shiro" and it saved , when tyson was serious and he said my name "Shiro" not Dave ;-;. But for some reason when i started a new route it doesnt save now
It was changed a few builds ago for dave to be cannon any new playthroughs will be named dave with no way to change it, the coffee cup name input is for easter eggs. You can keep trying if you like but im sure grizz will varify it next time hes in the comments.
No, it's not wrong. A few updates back a change was made to the earlier days where that was edited (I think it was 5 updates ago?). But because I knew a bunch of people had old saves, I've been supporting that in-code so it's not strange. Any new saves you'll be forced into having "Dave", but if you have old ones you'll be able to use the name you picked then.
Jesus that timing
My ears were burning. :V
i see everybody talking about day 11 and i'm confused on how to gey there due to the reason that it says that its the endof the demo on day 10......help
It's only for Hoss, Tyson and Roswell.
Getting kinda confused as to what Sal's second password is cause when I decided to give up and got the Benson ending it didn't really give me any ideas as to what it could possibly be
Think about what Roswell said to Dave.
At which part?
ugh.. there are many passwords in that day and only 1 password that lead to save Benson... Did you already get one of it? if not, try to think what Orlando said in the hospital first.
If you struggle with the Orlando part, you can play Hoss' route first. At some point, Hoss finds a paper with a bunch of passwords and two of them work. With the Roswell's part, I can't really add anything that ice bear san already said (just write down any suspicious words. Also, Dave repeats the password after Roswell, so maybe use this as a hint).
Can you change your name?
I think no
nope you could in earlier builds but dave is now the cannon name
