Nice to MEAT you again...
I found out about Night Maniac 2 from the recent release, so had to play the first one to get up to speed about the lore, etc. The aesthetic of the 80's slasher is on point, and you have a great boogeyman character with Mr. Paperbag butcher man. It was great to see the characters from the first outing reappear (poor Edgar, didn't have much of a cameo, eh?) and hopefully this series won't stop at a sequel. I wanna see the Night Maniac resurrected! Or maybe like a Jason X have his remains in space...only for a foolish band of teenagers to resuscitate him ;)I'm not a particular fan of the 'run around trying to get item A to open Locker B' when something is chasing you throughout, and felt that the majority of the game lent into this mechanic. The cutscenes also seemed a little out of kilter pace wise, (why didn't Roy just tell Jonathan his findings on the phone? Why did he need to come back to the massacre?) but overall a grand job bringing me back to my 80's youth.
Please say you'll be looking at Night Maniac 3? Perhaps Jonathan, scarred by the ordeals he'd had to endure, takes up the mantle of his father? Maybe there are two Night Maniac copycat killers and he has to fight them? Or y'know...could set it in space. Just sayin...
