…”Give that man a drink!”
“Boom, haha!”
There is no agreement on who the old man is.
Drink Ice Music!
I think he looks more like Dale’s grandfather from Birthday, than the barman from Theatre
After comparing to various images, I can conclude that the ‘Old Man’ is, in fact, the disguise of Mr. Crow (without mouth stitching, and… eyes). Possibly, we play as the husband of the old lady (from mill)? Before, of course, Mr. Crow took his place.
Younger, actually. He has black eyebrows and a much more fashionable attire.
This gonna turn into the black and blue/white and gold dress thing from 2015, atleast until people find out who he is.
actually…. he does look like a younger version of Dale’s grandfather (with the black, not grey eyebrows)…. maybe the new cube-escape is about the events that led up to Birthday?… *shrug* just an idea.
Does he have the cube tattoo under his hat?☺
Nobody knows. The only people who could fill this role are the Bartender (theatre), Dale’s grandfather (birthday), or the disguise of Mr. Crow (The Mill + Case 23).
I think he’s all of those.
Music!
Everyone on Cube Escape Wiki say that this is Mr. Crow’s disguise!
Also, submarine + old man + rusty lake + free = amazing experience
Is he Mr Crow?:)
Birthday grandpa
Still remember when we play birthday,one of friends try to
say give it to your mother in a local Chinese language
Indeed,it sounds quite funny.
After that,we often play together and talk about cube escape
It helps us develope our friendships
We are now all looking forward to the new game.
And last, give it to your mother.
I think the old lady in “the mill” could be Rose in “the Roots”, given the years and the old lady’s age.Anyway, here comes the Crow.
