Demons’ Timeline Chapter 3 Guide

Demons’ Timeline kicks up its challenge in Chapter 3 by requiring players to dig deeper into the identities behind the accounts they encounter. No more relying on given occupations; this chapter pushes you to analyze every detail, making it a crucial turning point that tests your timeline-reading skills thoroughly.

This chapter demands you identify seven individuals whose stories revolve around virtual reality spaces and the intricacies of their custom avatars. The key to progressing is meticulous scrutiny of their posts to decode their real identities.

We have seven people to identify this time around, with the entire timeline being centered around VR spaces and the type of avatars people create in them. Let’s get to scrolling and solve this mystery!

Just like in previous chapters, you’ll come across two encrypted data folders that require passwords to access. Successfully decrypting these reveals additional narrative layers and clues vital to your deductions.

Like the previous chapters, there will be two different folders of data that we’ll need to decrypt. The passwords to these data folders are written below.

Identifying Accounts

Identifying accounts becomes more complex here as the game strips away previous supports. You’re tasked with determining not only the characters’ main and sub accounts but also their professions, requiring a thorough examination of their interactions and posts to make accurate assignments.

Mirika Baba

The starting point is to pinpoint Mirika Baba’s sub account. Look for Sub Account <Green> which features a post from two years ago concerning the poster’s anticipation of turning 50 in 27 years. This timing fits perfectly with Mirika’s age of 25, making this the clearest link.

Further investigation reveals Mirika’s main account as Aru @ Vcuber, evidenced by posts discussing reports of someone stalking them and the resulting account deletion—events tied directly to Mirika.

Mirika’s occupation is less explicit but can be deduced from her emphasis on internet etiquette, suggesting a role in education. The best fit is a member of High School Administration Staff.

Masaru Ishiyama

Masaru Ishiyama’s account is identified through a puzzle posted on dARKMAtter. Solving the cipher reveals the name Masaru, confirming his identity. His posts clearly indicate his career as a Puzzle Creator.

Following that trail, the sub account linked to Masaru is Sub Account <Yellow>, noted for expressing interest in collaboration with Gizmo, aligning with Masaru’s professional network. This completes the profile:

Main Account: dARKMAtter (Puzzle Creator)
Sub Account: Sub Account <Yellow>
Occupation: Puzzle Creator

Now that we know that Masaru is a Puzzle Creator, we can follow that information to find out which account is his Sub Account. Further down the timeline, you can find some posts from Sub Account <Yellow> talking about how they want to collaborate with Gizmo on a project. That means Masaru’s full identity is

Main Account: dARKMAtter (Puzzle Creator)
Sub Account: Sub Account <Yellow>
Occupation: Puzzle Creator

Mafuyu Arino

Observable_R18 stands out by including a date of birth in their bio, marking them as 31 years old. This profile belongs either to Mafuyu Arino or Ryoma, but Mafuyu is the likelier candidate due to gender-associated context clues in accompanying sub accounts.

Sub Account <Blue> links directly to Observable_R18, evident through posts responding to commission requests and mentioning payment issues with Riki, tying the accounts together.

The occupation comes to light through complaints about workplace sexual harassment in the sub account’s posts. News articles on the timeline about increased harassment support linking this account to a woman’s perspective, identifying Mafuyu as a Nurse.

Ryoma Narita

Ryoma Narita is straightforward to identify as he openly uses his real name in the main account Gizmo. His posts revolve around game development, confirming his role as a Game Creator.

His corresponding sub account is Sub Account <Black>, sharing the same focus on game development projects, resulting in a complete picture:

Main Account: Gizmo
Sub Account: Sub Account <Black>
Occupation: Game Creator

Main Account: Gizmo
Sub Account: Sub Account <Black>
Occupation: Game Creator

Aruru Obikawa

Aruru Obikawa is identified through conversations on Neureino @ New Avatar with a user named Aru, whose real name closely matches Aruru’s. Their discussions about creating models place Aruru confidently as a CG Modeler.

The related sub account Sub Account <Purple> talks about 3D model work, reinforcing Aruru’s identity. So, Aruru’s full identity looks like this:
Occupation: CG Modeler
Main Account: Neureino @ New Avatar
Sub Account: Sub Account <Purple>

The dominoes of identifying Aruru keep falling as now that we know they’re a CG Modeler, we can link the only Sub Account that talks about working on 3D models to them: Sub Account <Purple>. Aruru Obikawa’s full identity is:

Occupation: CG Modeler
Main Account: Neureino @ New Avatar
Sub Account: Sub Account <Purple>

Rintaro Himura

Rintaro Himura’s main account is H-Chan, whose username is derived from the initial of Rintaro’s last name. The sub account Sub Account <Aqua> shares linked content about creating provocative posts, confirming their connection.

Learning that this incredibly lewd account belongs to Riki will guide us right to his Sub Account as well. If we look through the posts on Sub Account <Aqua>, we’ll see one talking about how getting attention from one lewd post will lead you to making many, linking the account directly to H-Chan.

Posts on Sub Account <Aqua> mention medicines produced by the company where Rintaro works, establishing his occupation as Pharmaceutical Company General Staff.

Main Account: H-Chan
Sub Account: Sub Account <Aqua>
Occupation: Pharmaceutical Company General Staff

Main Account: H-Chan
Sub Account: Sub Account <Aqua>
Occupation: Pharmaceutical Company General Staff

Majime Ushiwata

The last character to identify is Majime Ushiwata. Using earlier logic about age differences, Majime fits the profile of the Ramen Shop Owner, since he is the only individual older than 50 among the suspects.
