A lot of people still have toys from their childhood. I have a bunch of Transformers in a bin, some of which I have had since I was 3. I gave my niece a stuffed bear I had as a child, it was the bear from the Snuggle ads. Point is, carrying trinkets from your early years into your adult life is nothing new, and is a pretty universal experience to use for the start of a story. Releasing October 13, on Steam, Xbox, and Switch, The Darkest Tales is a story of the stuffed toy of Alicia’s childhood entering her dreams to save her from these sort of nightmare demons. You’re accompanied by a sparkling blue fairy, Navi-ish in nature to try and save your now grown-up owner.
