Is there anything to the weird book in the treehouse or is it just for flavor? It seems to be alluding to something but I can't figure it out.

There's mention of the cave and a "convergence point". I tried looking all around the cave, but there doesn't seem to be anything there (although you can find the drawings on the walls)
Edit: I looked at the source though and I don't see anything else clickable in the cave... No hidden secret badge either, maybe it is just for ambiance.
Turning the antenna in the treehouse gives different messages of about two minutes each. It’s a bit hard to listen to the whole thing without someone else interrupting by changing the antenna, so here are the audio files:

There’s talk of the tent near the beach, the gong, and gathering at the big fire once you hear the call. There’s also talk of the cave, the star map, trusting the bats, and reading the right side of the book carefully. Though it seems to me the audio may be outdated and that the star map was initially in the book and was since moved to the telescope.
The right side of the book mentions the time 8:47.
If we look at the star map, only two of them are pointing inwards. If we consider that a “convergence point”, it should be around the area of the big fire and tent.
That’s as far as I’ve got with this.
Hmm this is interesting. I was playing on mute so I didn't notice the radio messages.
I was thinking the "convergence point" was the center of camp with the sign since that's where all the paths meet up and the book mentions something about that. The radio also says "I just put a sign on it".

He also mentions he wrote it in 1967 but the book says 1987

There's also a locked door in one of the buildings, but I couldn't figure out what either mean if anything. It would be cool if the radio was used for something though
Yeah I saw that too, but the list of all accessible rooms is also in the code and the only scenes I see are
It would be really cool if there were some secrets, but alas it appears not (unless it's obfuscated in the source as well)
The radio in the treehouse might be relevant. See my sibling comment.
