Darkest Dreaming
again on Little Hope's tendency to quietly admit to everything. The first post prologue scene and third scene overall literally being called Darkest Dreaming
In which our main character literally opens his eyes unaware of who he is or what happened around him but he knows that he had a dream and it was too real to be nothing and it folds into the layers of the story that he saw what we saw and that dream is on equal footing with everything else, a strange little girl he's never seen before? Just like the one in his dream, and the girl in the past and now and his dream, all the same somehow, and he couldn't quite understand the layers but they were always there, sometimes hidden in menus, sometimes spoken plainly on screen
And when you really sit with it Little Hope is extraordinarily honest right from the start, once you've had a couple of spins through the cycle that is
And how can one be upset when it was so honest, when it said that dreams are realer than real and reality might not be, we are told before Vince before Mary or demons or deaths, Little Hope was straight up in its round about way then over the runtime the dark and fantastical builds on top and suddenly the foundations are a shocking sight, but it was always there under it all
