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 Though it seems to me the audio may be outdated and that the star map was initially in the book and was since moved to the telescope.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.
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
The radio in the treehouse might be relevant. See my sibling comment.

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)Why not encode the badge names as well in rot13?
They've been encoded twice for extra protection.
Because then you’d need to decode the full message and might read something you didn’t mean to. This way you can decode just the individual ones you want.
The badge names aren’t secret, they’re available in the book in the house even before you unlock them.
The encoding is too advanced
