It is important what Maya's calendar indicates. The year difference is exactly 3 years. What did Maya say to the MC in EP7 shortly after her father Patrick left? That if she stays away from Josy, studies and takes extra classes, she can free herself from her father in 3 years. A strange coincidence.i get that. but does it actually matter what Maya's calendar says? would the entire universe of BaDIK implode if the calendar in game was actually a mistake and its supposed to say its 2019? or even 2023?? what if it was supposed to say 2030?
unless DPC plans on using the exact year to make some kind of jab at a particular person/event which was relevant during that specific time, i dont think it actually matters what the "official" year is. and with that line of thought, its pretty easy to accept that these two games are essentially an anthology series focusing on different stories within the same universe. both games are contemporary with the with 20-teens and beyond, the specifics at this point in time arent relevant to anything for either story and to be honest i never expect them to be.
maybe im technically wrong, and if so then so be it. i dont really care that much about all this. but most people who would play both of these games on Steam that arent patrons or pirates would basically make the same assumptions i did in this post. there are no disclaimers in game specifically stating the two games are unconnected. most people playing that arent like us here on this forum wont be scanning every single detail of every scene looking for connections or lack of connections, more so if we count people who will only play this when the whole thing is actually 100% finished and wont have to wait months between episodes.
so even if DPC says in some random interview that the games are in no way connected and never shall be in the same universe, the majority of people who buy and play this game will not know that and will likely assume the opposite. so what is really canon then, what the creator says even if its meaningless or what the majority of people will believe on their own even if its wrong? its an interesting question
Also a strange coincidence is what the MC can answer Gordon, Christian and Geoff. Either the MC is a student, an alumnus, or an intruder.
- Student could be the present (CHICK)
- Former is maybe timelines game (DPC himself wrote so he has to follow the timelines in the game).
- Intruder could also be the present but the DIK variant.
