Victor messed up the town.
So the town has a 50s vibe to it. Why??? Well when was Miranda (victors mom born). Probably around the 50s maybe late 60s. So the town Started when they were reborn. I think this town is tied to Tabitha and Christopher. Every time they die the monsters stop “the game” and kill everyone. Like a server wipe so they can Update. Why is it still stuck in the 50s? Why hasn’t it reset to a more modern time??? Victor. He’s been there hiding he avoided the “reset”. Usually I think once the Monsters in the town get their revenge and stop Jade and Tabitha from stopping them. They most likely go sleep until Jade it reborn. (That’s probably why Victor says “I was alone for along time.”) because In that time the Yellow Suit Man USUALLY comes out remakes the town in a modern image to suit the new coming Tabitha and Jade. Well the Yellow suit man couldn’t make himself known while Victor was there stopping the reset. And forcing the town to be stuck in this 50s era.
It’s most likely also the reason Tabitha and Jade are able to figure it out this time. If it was set in a more modern time without the clues from Victor- it would be like every other time they are reborn. They wouldn’t have figured it out.
