  The ARG section of Giggleland was unexpectedly creative. I’m just hoping that they don’t fall into the usual pitfalls of a regular mascot horror when the game releases

  Hearing accurate information about child psychology really jumpscared me as a child psychology major. The stages of crying with an infant kind of hooked me, but then they brought in Erikson and I was super excited to see my area of study brought into a project like this! It really does highlight the creepier parts of psychology, as Night Mind puts it, that feel overly clinical.

  Might be nothing but it is interesting how Eliot is described as shy while Ella is described as brave, but in the trailer for the game those roles are reversed. Eliot is taking the lead, he's the showman, and he's the threat, while Ella is terrified.

  The &quot;fun&quot; site is a most likely a reference to the &quot;Fun is infinite&quot; easter egg from Sonic CD. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QViGVPRGWko&amp;t=981">16:21</a>

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QViGVPRGWko&amp;t=1942">32:22</a> This is an interesting bit of technological horror, as whatever this entity is, it doesn&apos;t have collision, animation, or even rendering data, and refuses user overrides until the process runs out of memory. It is a ghost in the machine. It is something that <b>cannot</b> not be there, there is nothing that exists on the machine to construct such an entity, and yet it can indeed be observed in that screenshot on the store page.

  When you went on to KMW they asked for camera and mic access, like they were looking at who goes onto their site. Maybe as a way to track down debbie

  Wishlisting on Steam does indeed affect discoverability in the Steam front page.

  The idea of the dev console being a key mechanic is quite interesting.

  Okay but Eliot and Ella are genuinely adorable. They created characters for a horror ARG, that would&apos;ve worked in an actual children&apos;s series.

  This isn&apos;t an arg around a game, it&apos;s a game in an arg <br>And personally? I can&apos;t wait

  I was kind of interested when Ella knew right away something was wrong. Usually, in animations promoting horror, all the characters act like nothing is wrong. So it was kind of neat to see one realize something was wrong.
