Thanks for YOU!Jimothy Sterling said:
p.s. We need a Jim version of this [http://underhanded.org/work/ff_office.jpg] for the Escapist bunker, to ummm... benevolently gaze upon our editors.
And possibly haunt Paul [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/WMDogma]'s dreams. We like to keep him in a constant state of fear/paranoia.
I'm a bit worried that, being a toddler's nightmare, it wouldn't make much sense when things get spookier, but otherwise, it looks like a pretty neat horror game.
Also, that toddler might well be Garret in his infancy, seriously, that reminded me a lot of the Thief games, especially 3 as you can see your entire body and shadows in that game.

This game promises to be fucking brilliant if they nail the tone right.
If the monsters aren't things a child would normally fear, but ramped up to 11, then ehh. One thing I though Amnesia was lacking was particularly scary monsters. Once you saw them it was lame.
I could never get those Amnesia door controls down either, the monsters must have thought I was fucking stupid, slamming my head into doors constantly while trying to run away.

I wonder if the game is going to do something like tell the story in a way that what the child is dreaming is a representation of all the stuff going on in real life. So instead of it being like Silent Hill where the town is a manifestation of the guys insecurities and the like, this will be kind of a reversal where the dream is the catalyst for the representation of what is actually going on in this child's life. That might be cliche depending on who is looking at it, but i think it would be a pretty good idea.
This looks pretty promising, I know I've got it on my radar after watching this, thanks Jim.
As for the song you kept mentioning; it's a Swedish/Norwegian lullaby, so it is an actual song that mothers sing to their baby children. Just thought I'd mention that.

Yeah, he said this was less a preview, more of a hands-on walkthrough kind of thing because he's extremely interested in the game. I don't think he chose the title. That's what it sounded like when someone asked him on Twitter earlier, anyway.twm1709 said:
As for the game itself, I've been following it pretty closely, but was actually sort of disappointed when it turned to Kickstarter. I have a sinking feeling that this crowdfunding pool is going to dry up soon, and I don't want this game left floundering. The concept intrigues me SOOO much. Hopefully they get their funding, because I'll be oh so sad if this never gets released.
My ex sang it to my kids... It always felt like a creepy creepy song to me. Kids have a weird attitude about creepy though. Surprise games of peekaboo or swinging them by their legs around the room apparently are no problem but when mum blows her nose without warning it's all screams and tears.Xariat said:
Anyway, this game looks like it captures what being a two year old is. Sneaky curious loveable little goblins. You think you can babyproof something and then they turn into Macguyver/Batman. The world becomes their adventure game as they use the Monkey Island method of trying everything in their posession with every object they find to try and get a desired result.
Also I'm pretty sure most two year old's are tall enough to open doors, unless they suffer from dwarfism or something. The fact that the kid starts out in a crib would, in my mind, likely put his age well below two as well. Unless it's all because of the kid's messed up dream, or something.teebeeohh said:
Yes, I was also waiting 12 goddamn minutes for the kid to find the chainsaw machinegun so he could start pwning some monsters. Left disappointed... My current hypothesis is that this is just the intro and the game will quickly fast forward 30 years to when the kid has grown up to be a space marine on a quest to avenge his dead parents against the grandfather clockmonsters. And save the world of course. Because how can it be scary if the entire world is not at stake?OlasDAlmighty said:
Looks alright, I think. I love these kinds of original concept horror games and it kinda gives me a bit of a Psychonauts feel without the platforming. But I will stick to my guns on not Kickstarting projects I'm not 100% sold on. I'll definitely grab a copy on release though.
I had fucked up dreams as a kid: my family was murdered by the big bad wolf with an angle grinder in front of me, I was being run over with taxis and another where my family had deserted me. As for this game it feels like amnesia/bioshock. This could be a good game. I think I'll help with the kickstarter.
