I literally have no idea why people are pitting Little Nightmares 3 with Reanimal.

You literally got 2 cakes for Christmas and you're still complaining. Why can't everyone just enjoy both cakes?

Does Reanimal look better than LN3? Sure it does, but Tarsier also has 2 successful games and years of experience under their belt in this type of gameplay and storytelling while Supermassive though has created many types games, they're new to this format and have a existing series they also need to live up to. Tarsier and Bandai could've easily just shoved LN under a rug when LN 2 was done and never let us see the franchise ever again but they were willing to hand it to Supermassive and give them a chance to make more so we can enjoy it. In fact, the LN2 Enchanced Ediiton was upgraded by Supermassive, so it's clear that even when Tarsier was a part of the franchise they were willing to pass on their IP in good faith.

Honestly as someone who's literally working in the games industry right now, both games looks amazing. Fantastic atmosphere and beautiful world building. In fact the warm tones of LN3 reflecting the cool tones of Reanimal make me so giddy i wouldn't be suprised if both teams planned it together. People were all hyped for LN3 until Reanimal came up and suddenly everyone's being a Comparing Carrie about it. I don't see why we can't just enjoy and support both games without pitting them against each other. These types of games are few and far between already and I want to see more studios make more games like these in the future.

Saw the little nightmares 3 trailer got released and wanted to hear your thoughts on it. Is there anything in particular that you're excited for or just generally hyped about?

Also sorry if this question comes across weird I have no clue about the series but remembered you enjoyed it and drew some stuff for it so I thought it'd be fun to talk about it if that makes sense?

Oh I have so many thoughts on it. So many that I'm going to put them below the cut so this post doesn't take up anyone's entire dash.

First of all, damn my copious amounts of coursework for the fact that I couldn't sit down and start drawing fanart immediately the moment I finished watching the trailer once… or twice… maybe three times. Mark my words though these kids WILL be getting some day 2 (actual) art, even if it's just a little sketch.

…Point being, I was pretty excited right out of the gate. Admittedly, I was a little nervous that the studio changeover would mean that any (potential) future Little Nightmares content would mean a massive tonal shift, but based on the trailer alone + the additional guides related to the game, it nails the atmosphere of the previous games pretty damn well. Hell, the giant baby enemy even resembles some of the concept art from the flesh walls!

Already, Nowhere is combining some of my favorite things (notably locations that seem/are "alive", steampunk motifs, and copious amounts of birds… also reminds me a little bit of Zone 3 from OFF, but that's probably just me), but most notably is the fact that it actually seems to resemble some of the locations seen in the (tragically cancelled) 2017 comics. This is particularly notable in the first issue, which features two children taking shelter in a barn from a monster known as the North Wind (who is made of/"sees through" the eyes of black birds, presumably crows), but the second issue is about a monster that lives within mirrors, which are shown a lot in the trailer as well. Either way, I'm cautiously hoping for some references to the comics, especially because we never got to learn what happened to the rest of the Maw kids there (the answer is probably "they died horribly" but I mean hey. You never know).

The designs of the two protagonists are, of course, adorable. I love the plague doctor/gas mask duo (especially because having face coverings makes sense in such a dusty place) and the bit where they both glide down using feather umbrellas is genuinely so fun—absolutely no complaints there.

…Actually, one complaint: I have no idea which one is Low and which one is Alone. None of the official sources have clarified that. Please LN3… I need to know the names of my new kids before they get put into the meat grinder like every other protagonist in these games. (Given the series' track record, I'm not too optimistic about their fates—sorry little guys! I'll be rooting for you anyway). EDIT: It seems like Low is the bird mask kid and Alone is the hazard suit kid

Mechanically… I don't think we've seen enough of the game for me to make any hasty judgements. I know everyone wanted LN2 to be multiplayer (and LN3 appears to have a singleplayer option), but I'm unsure of how that will work. Will it be Spiritfarer style multiplayer where only one player has to own LN3? Will it be online? Will it be splitscreen? Will me inevitably ditching the main campaign to screw around with my friend ruin the atmosphere? No idea. The way I see it, it's too soon to tell.

While we're on the topic though, I did also listen to the first episode of the audio drama! Without spoiling anything… yeah I can definitely recommend it. It's very reminiscent of The Magnus Archives and/or The Bright Sessions, so if you like either of those podcasts you'll probably like The Sounds of Nightmares. Even if you know absolutely nothing about Little Nightmares, I'd honestly recommend it. Voice mixing is a little off in places (though there's a decent chance it was just my headphones being fucky), but the podcast MORE than makes up for it in terms of imagery and phenomenal sound design. No word on the lore implications though; I'll listen to episode 2 when I get the time and THEN deliver the verdict there. I also hope they release an official transcript for it—there isn't one right now afaik, but that would be really helpful for a multitude of reasons.

But yeah, that's about it! TL;DR hell yeah I'm excited for this game, but I'm trying not to fill in the blanks with too much supposition while there's still so little info available

Do you have any idea why the OVA would be based on chapter 40? It's rather relevant to the current arc going on now, since it introduces that guy Kunikida knew in the past who comes back for a bit... also it builds up Kunikida's development for the current arc. I just can't imagine why it'd be in an OVA instead of in a possible season 3 instead; I'd think they'd choose a more episodic stand-alone chapter for an OVA, or another light novel story.

Season 3 will premiere at Winter 2018 (Dec 2017-Feb 2018) at the earliest, assuming BONES gets the green light to continue from where they ended. But, as you said, it seems a little random that they’ll choose chapter 40 instead of an original story. I can see why they’d want to steer clear of either LN3 or 4; just look at how they butchered up LN1 to fit everything into 2 episodes. If they want to go for something lighthearted, there’s always 38 and 41. So why 40?

You said it yourself: “It’s rather relevant to the current arc going on now, since it introduces that guy Kunikida knew in the past who comes back for a bit… also it builds up Kunikida’s development for the current arc.” At this point, BSD’s hype has cooled down, and even with strong merchandise sales, they want to make sure that BSD does not get lost in the crowd with all the new anime pouring out. The next arc will feature a lot of Kunikida, and so they are probably doing this to keep fans’ interest. Besides, I think Kunikida has been pushed to the backseat in favor of being replaced by Kyouka as the “face” of ADA after Atsushi and Dazai (Kunikida hasn’t been featured in a YA cover, as a matter of fact). It could be that the staff themselves are fond of Kunikida, but hey at the end of the day, as long as we get more material, I’m not the one to complain.
