I’ve been waiting for this for a pretty long time, glad it’s finally here. The explanation for the growing part is.. idk it’s either trying to show us that we’ve become an adult or just a strange way to make the game harder

[@terminalvelocityrunner2202]

In the part where you protect your kid self and continuously grow, it’s possible that it’s a metaphor for how your character is getting over the childhood trauma caused by both the neighbor and school bullying, and growing more brave and bold in the process. The giant shadow creature looks somewhat like the player character, so it could represent his own personal insecurities and fears that have plagued him through his life. The part with the lighter may be insinuating he did drugs or smoked as a teenager to escape said insecurities, and that led to him being evicted as you said.

all this is true except the lighter part, nicky wasn't a bad teenager, his only real problem was his curiosity

@@point-five-oh6249 As I've said, watch the Gameplay Deepdive and the AI breakdown. The AI breakdown is animated, but the gameplay deepdive is actual gameplay, they could not lie about anything. But I understand you. I personally am not going to buy the game on launch, but rather wait till it's clear to everyone whether on not this game is worth it.

[@point-five-oh6249]

@@HeyLoiss That's the thing though, I don't think they were purposely lying about the first game, but it just shows they don't have a clue about how to make a plot first of all, but also the main selling point, the AI, got pretty dumb later on. I probably won't buy the game period. They robbed my $30. See normally in game dev, Alphas/Early Access is supposed to be a rough draft of what the game will be like, and they had such a good framework to build on. Instead of focusing on what they already had, they decided to add too much and bog down the game. Also yes, yes they can lie about that. If you need proof on these things, check out BlizzCon when they showcased WC3 Reforged, and then check out that the cutscenes and gameplay is the exact same where they promised and showcased this and that but jebaited so many people that the country of Australia almost sued Blizz for false advertising and violation of consumer rights laws. I mean there's a reason they only have like 1 or 2 stars on most game rating sites from User Reviews. Just because they whipped up a snappy scenematic in less than 30 minutes doesn't mean that's what we are actually going to get.

[@strisselstudios3932]

The reason they ruined this game, and butchered the AI was because MattPat made a whole bunch of theories aboit a story, when there really wasnt a story to begin with, and the popularity of those theories led to development choices that hurt the game overall

[@petitechalice9017]

Michael Roth is an introverted boy who always felt he didn't fit in in any of the many cities he has lived in due to his parents' work until one day they move to Raven Brooks, a small town full of mysteries. There he meets his best friend Aaron James Peterson with whom they explore the most iconic places in the city such as the old fair in which an event that marked all the citizens took place. Aaron's father, Mr. Peterson, was a designer of stunning amusement parks and he was invited to do a project at Raven Brooks, a state-of-the-art amusement park named after a very famous company called The Golden Apple. When the inauguration of the park happened everyone was excited but one of the attractions failed, ending the life of a girl named Lucy yi. Soon Nicky discovers that what happened may not have been an accident ... Then he begins to investigate death3 and discovers very murky things about Mr. Peterson, while this is happening, he receives the news that Mr. Peterson's wife died in a car accident, which destroys his friend (Peterson's son), in the hide and seek game it is explained that Peterson's children were very happy until their mother died3, this angers Aaron a lot and he accidentally killed4 his sister. This ends with the sanity of Mr. Peterson and he begins to be more mysterious and Nicky investigates more thoroughly about him, getting to go into his house to see what he has in the basement and why Mr. Peterson visits the old fair so much. . I leave you with that so that you do not get too confused because it is a very broad story which is better to read and understand the references in the different games. I highly recommend the books, they are very entertaining and will most likely become your favorite franchises. :)

The reason the player gets so big is that now that he’s an adult he can figuratively grow bigger than his fears and defeat them

[@daffaagung]

I think part of the reason why this game is the way it is is because of the community making videos, theory, lore, etc, basically milking the heck out of it. The game starts of intriguing when it's in the alpha phase, like "what's he hiding in his basement? Go sneak in there". But seeing the community doing those stuff, i feel like the devs just decided to give what the community wants, which sucks btw. The game feels hollow, lacks identity of what the dev actually aiming for

[@yourcollegedebt8384]

I'm fairly certain that last part where you grow bigger as you defend the kid is symbolic of the player character overcoming their trauma. Know the metaphor of someone trying to make someone else feel smaller? Basically, apply the opposite: you're making yourself feel bigger and realizing the trauma isn't as bad as it seems.

[@Daveaintreal]

Exactly. But the story was kind of all over the place in the end. The identity of the Shadow is not actually revealed, but it is believed to be a representation of Mr Peterson, but they appear to be two separate entities in our protagonists dream So what is it? Well, it is a representation of emotions that weigh you down (such as depression or fear.) Mr. Peterson's connection with the Shadow is connected to his sadness over losing his family. Our protagonists version of the Shadow is fear of Mr. Peterson.
