That was amazing, I had an idea of what was coming as I read about it but seeing it happen in person was vastly more surprising than I thought. Also loving the extra story tidbit you left there at the end with your subtitles making it seem like this has happened before.

Fun fact: The original working title for this game was, 'Hunger'.

Correct! That's going to be touched on in one of the bonus videos I was working on. I do have some interesting concept art from that earlier game. It's interesting to see what they kept in and what got changed.

What, nobody else notice that the sausages on the table looked like they had five pink little sausages at one end?

And yeah, Six's hunger to escape seems to be growing exponentially.

I had no idea! I'm going to have to go back and look at that. Is it in any particular time? I'd love to get a better look at that. They hid a lot of little details in their games.

Phaiston have long avoided the tightly competetive defence sector, but the IRDA Act 2052 has given us the freedom we need to bring out something really special.

I think we can all agree that there are many questions raised by that last video.

Personally, I want to know which of the island's inhabitants had set up that chair in front of the two-way mirror in the bathroom.

17:30, just as you're about to do the table run with the guests trying to reach you; the very first guest has several sausages that look like they're, ahem, 'Finger Food'

Okay let's do some detective work.



Nothing in this frame... let's scrub ahead a little.

Okay here's something



Okay that defiantly looks suspicious. Internet magic, ENHANCE!



Hmm... Well it defiantly could be just uncooked sausage meat... But gotta say it does look more than a little bit like some fat little fingers.



Considering the game... I think we could probably assume it may not be an accident.

Someone very desperate, considering the state of the guests and the chef. Then again, there's quite a lot of surveillance going on. So possibly the same person who made the eye camera rooms.




Oh! Here's a fun game for you all. In the latest episode there is an effect that took a full week to animate. It's less than a second long. First one to gets it gets a slap up meal cooked by our very own chefs!

Is it when one of the guests tosses a table and the text gets hit by it?

Don’t quote me on this but I heard a rumour that the final DLC chapter for little Nightmares might be being released tomorrow. Let’s wait and see. I may have to start work on the DLC sooner than I thought.

It would have been nice. But like you say, I don't know how they'd do it. I suppose they could have put in a hunger counter and when that reached zero it was game over. But that would have completely ruined the pacing since you'd feel you'd have to hurry to the next spot you can get food.

Just FYI for everyone, the next episode is being delayed till I can find out what the last chapter of the DLC is like (If it wasn't obviously I was completely wrong about the release date. Apparently it's coming out later in February now). If it has any impact on the story then I want to try and work it in somehow. So bear with me a little while longer.

Then again you've all been very patient so far. So thank you all for that. It's been a pleasure making videos for you lovely people.

Hello everyone. Sorry to say no update yet. I want to put out an explanation video before releasing the final part and I have sadly lost my voice. Which I need to do the speaking part. If you find it please return it to me. I have looked behind the sofa and it's nowhere to be found.

Once I get it back I'll get that video wrapped and should have the finale up shortly after that. Thanks for your patience.

Yeah I am. That's one of the extra videos. It just wasn't coming together very well. But we will see the many deaths of Six. Count on it.

same. Problem is I work on computers full time. So I don't really get much chance to rest them. But once they're better I'll be back to killing rats making videos again.

You know, I'm not so sure Six was hugging those gnomes. Her face was in just the right position for a neck-bite, and they turn strangely docile afterwards.

Well, RIP Geisha-Medusa. Six finally destroyed her fears and is ready to be all she can be.

Aw dude, no joke, that last line was pure loving gold. I think the entire thing might have been worth it for just that.

My pet theory is that all the gnomes were once people. Seems awfully charitable for The Lady to just give these people food for nothing.
It might be a curse placed on Six. I mean the gnomes seem to be food for these people and they don't seem to need to eat so maybe something went awry and Six' body wasn't turned into a gnome but it did leave her small and with a terrible, uncontrollable hunger.

Before I go any further, I'm seven minutes in and there's been quite a few places where Six looks like she's responding to the subtitles. But I don't see any. Is there a video error here, or just style?

Yeah it's a stylistic choice. She's mostly nodding to herself, shaking her head that it's just her imagination, that sort of thing. She left the subtitles down in the guest area when she went up the lift. Or so my little story goes.

Hey all. Sorry to disappoint. But no update yet. Just posting to let you know this isn't abandoned yet. Still working on the deaths video. I'm just struggling for time at the moment. So at the moment my plan is to finish the deaths video off and then close this thread. Then complete the DLC videos and make a new thread for them. Not how I wanted this to go. But it's a way more realistic goal at the moment. Thank you all for your patience once again.

This LP is one of the finest examples of clever subtitle use I have ever seen. Subtitled LPs and screenshot LPs share that delightful "extra" character in the action - the text commentary - and you really made that character shine. Tis brilliant.

I just watched the first video, your editing and playstyle are incredible.

At first I thought you were calling the child Six and when they died you would then go "Oh! Seven, we need to get you some shoes!" Glad it isn't that way.

I like to think you're the imaginary friend of a little child. Or a Jiminy Cricket if you will.

But anyway, this is incredible!

Edit: Oh lord, sorry for the 4 month necro. I saw that the first post was October and I was thinking October of this year, I hadn't noticed it was 2017! I was just very excited and impressed with the first video.
