The following is a list of known dated events in the Deadlock timeline.
Note: The main reference point for "current day" assumes that the musical South Pacific opened on Broadway in the same year as it did in our world, and that said opening was a recent event, as mentioned by various characters.[1][2] As such, some of the dates may be changed as more of the worldbuilding is set in stone during the game's development.
Estimated dates that either haven't been confirmed by in-game content or are set after the main timeline divergence point (the first Maelstrom) are marked with an asterisk (*).
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 17th Century | |
| 1692 | The Salem Witch Trials took place,[3] leading to the killing of Vindicta |
| 19th Century | |
| 1805 | Johann Geist is born[4] |
| 1815 | Jeanne (Lady Geist) is born[4] |
| 1850 | Walter Geist is born[4] |
| 1880 | Johann Geist dies[4] |
| 1899* | The first Maelstrom occours. The existence of the supernatural is revealed to humanity. Vindicta is brought back to Earth as a ghost, Dynamo loses his body and becomes a dying star, and Lady Geist makes a deal with Oathkeeper in exchange for eternal youth. |
| 20th Century | |
| 1929* | Ivy comes to life |
| 1939* | Grey Talon retires |
| 1944* | South Ixia joins the US |
| 1944* | An assassination attempt occurs on Pocket's 18th birthday and they are thought to have been killed |
| 1948* | The Troubadour murders multiple people in Illinois and disappears |
| April 1949* | South Pacific opens on Broadway[1][3] |
| Current Day 1949* | Celestial Alignment, the second Maelstrom and the ritual take place |
Branching Timelines
Due to the multiple choice aspect of the Deadlock visual novels, there are multiple potential timelines of events that happened shortly before and after the Ritual.
