there's that short story by Stephen King called The Jaunt which has something like this. It's pretty good

felt the same way about Hotline Miami 2. it just didn't have the same feeling to it for whatever reason, despite the mechanics being arguably better/refined. That first game though, it's so good

discovering that show, during a sleepover when I was a kid was like a fever dream

yeah I'm kind of worried about the same. I liked the first one and would love another in that style, but it will be interesting to see if this has the same feel despite the perspective change

not too sure how I feel about the animation style. it's hard to explain but it gives me "Netflix anime" vibes. Kinda surprised that's MAPPA after seeing that trailer

lmao
