But by putting all the clues together, from the animals to the endings, and by diving into all of the symbolism, the dark truth is revealed.

Hello Internet!

Welcome to Game Theory, the show that's flocked to this new game as soon as it found out it existed.

Re-Animal.

Why?

Because this game is made by the same studio behind the first two Little Nightmares games, Tarsier.

And when this game released a few weeks ago, people were not disappointed by this thriller co-op game.

It's essentially the spiritual successor everyone wanted, rather than what Little Nightmares 3 ended up being.

But just like the Little Nightmares games, there is danger, suspense, and of course, lore.

With barely any lines of dialogue and a lot of clues hidden from plain sight, the game's story is a mystery from beginning to end.

Who are these kids?

What happened to them?

And why, oh why am I being chased by a giant demon pelican?

The DLC is said to reveal more of the story, but the first chapter isn't releasing until July.

But fear not, friends, because the game we currently have actually gives us everything we need to figure out the true story behind Re-Animal, and the dark secret these children are hiding.

Put on your creepy collectible masks, theorists, as we travel through the hellish nightmare of Re-Animal.

The game starts out looking up from a well, with four silhouettes looking in.

As the fifth appears, the screen turns red and it cuts to one of our playable characters in a boat.

He's wearing a bag on his head with a rope tied around his neck.

As he moves through the vast space of the water, the boy stops and finds a body in the water.
