So Wanderer's Journal Episode 1 First Messages Oh, strange.

T

1:19

I wonder who left you...

T

1:27

How strange.

T

1:29

My words, they're just, they're appearing on the pages as I say them.

T

1:36

I'm not, I'm not sure why or how.

T

1:42

There are, there's earlier entries in this journal that I saw.

T

1:48

Couldn't make sense of any of them because the writing is, it's weird.

T

1:54

Ancient looking.

T

1:55

They seem to be written neatly, though.

T

1:58

Almost inhumanly so.

T

2:01

But I had just thought...

T

2:04

I don't know what I thought, actually.

T

2:06

Um, well, I suppose this makes recording my findings much easier.

T

2:13

Not like I have much time to write anything down in this place.

T

2:21

Okay.

T

2:22

Okay.

T

2:23

Walk and talk.

T

2:24

I can do that.

T

2:29

Where to begin? Or, well, the beginning, I suppose.

T

2:34

It's been a while since I left my home.

T

2:39

I'm not sure how long.

T

2:42

The forest was already dense, but it's only grown worse the further I travel.

T

2:48

I can't really see the sky, and I've lost track of time.

T

2:53

The forest is...

T

2:56

It's strange.
