Confirmed placement
The official press kit says the story occurs decades before Rusty Lake: Roots in the Vanderboom house during the era of Aldous and William.
Reported connections
Players are using the full game’s revelations to revisit James Vanderboom’s parentage, the identity of the earlier Lady of the Lake and the relationship between familiar figures. These connections can be coherent without being officially confirmed.
This page therefore separates source-backed chronology from family-tree theory. A relationship is not labelled canon here unless Rusty Lake states it or the public game evidence is direct and unambiguous.
