I played all three of your games (actually I haven’t finished this one just yet but I’m going to!) and I gotta say I enjoy them so much, love the unsettling atmospheres of them all but there’s one thing; I had no idea there were easter eggs until I started reading other people’s comments .-. I’m very bad at finding those XD

Anyway, when I saw that well in this game I was like “WAHH CONTINUITY!!!” which is funny because I already knew there was continuity, but something about the well just did it for me?

Also the fact that you can actually die in this one has me very scared and second guessing all of my actions (like I just walked over the poisonous flowers and now I almost feel like I should start over just in case XD)

I’m going to go back to playing this game now, but I already can’t wait for the next one! (When’s it coming out, around Halloween?)

Edit: As an afterthought I wanted to add that apart from the atmosphere, one of my favorite things about these games is how you're actually encouraged to look around at everything. I tend to explore things when I play games but sometimes it ends up feeling like a waste in the end, which I'm glad wasn't the case here since I felt like I was playing the game the "right" way in doing so. Still don't know how I didn't find the easter eggs though XD

Edit: Finished playing the game! Are we gonna get an explanation of that ending in the next one???

Thank you so much for such a detailed comment, I appreciate the time and care that went into it! And no worries, the easter eggs were hidden very well on purpose-most people never find them on their own so you're not alone! I can give you a hint if you want :)

And I know what you mean about the continuity, I got the same feeling from reading comics sometimes! Like having the main character acknowledge it makes it more official, it was fun working that into this game-and haha so glad the deaths are making you think hard!!! Those are so fun to write and draw for, and I'm glad they're having such an impact! No need to restart, the flowers are fine-but glad you noticed that detail, it sets the stage for the Forest and what it's like in there!

Speaking of which, I'm so glad you're paying attention to all the story details in general! And yes, the fourth game is actually coming out in just a couple weeks! Forgive the plug, but you can stay updated on what I'm working on if you follow my twitter or tumblr XD (You can also just swing by to chat, I enjoy talking to my players^^)

And sort of? The ending has to do with a very important sub plot that will be explained not all at once, but piece by piece as the story unravels throughout the games! So it will make a little more sense in the fourth game but you'll still have plenty of questions unanswered >:3c

I think I’m probably too lazy to try and find the easter eggs at this point XD Are they super important to the story, like am I missing out on something by not finding them? I’d much rather they were explained to me but I guess I could do with a hint.

I think the hardest part in this game in terms of thinking hard to like, SURVIVE, was probably the part where you have to navigate through the water and use the rocks. I don’t know why I had so much trouble there but I made Jesse drown so many times XD

Can’t wait for the next game, I look forward to learning a little more about that important sub-plot!

PS - I’m one of those rare people who isn’t on social media, but I’d totally follow you there if I was!

---Spoilers ahead---

Don't worry, you're not missing out on much! Just little lore add-ons, if that makes sense! For your hint... try searching the trees in TWSTM! The codes are retroactive so you'll find one in the first game that you'll need to find the second game's secret and so on. (This stops at the fourth though.) And if you're not in the mood to search, you can always turn to youtube to check them out XDDD

As for the water, I think most players struggle in it so you're not alone! I was experimenting with puzzles and that one was more difficult than I intended... but congrats on beating it!

And thank you so much, I'm glad you're excited for it! I'm so close to finishing it so you won't have to wait long! (And haha no worries, I totally understand-and in fact, I respect people who stay out of social media... it can be a real life-ruiner these days if you're not careful. Still appreciate the sentiment just the same!)
