IF YOU HAVE NOT WATCHED THE VIDEOS AND WISH TO NOT BE SPOILED, DO NOT READ THIS POST! While I agree that some of the elements they chose (like the weird poltergeist moments) weren't the same, the platforming is. We crawled over, through, and on top of everything over the course of the game. The increase of them in the Prologue was most likely due to it having to be in a house, a much smaller area than the other levels. What it adds to the story makes sense though. Think about what we know from the main game (spoilers added for those who have not watched the last two videos): 1) Knocking at the door with a brief at the beginning, terse conversation that brings about a new gift. 2) The gift of teddy is the predominant "happy" feeling and safety element in the game. 3) In the spotlight section, the mother is saying things like "he'll never take you" and the like. 4) We find out in the end that our mother is an angry alcoholic which does not bring the feeling of happiness and safety. 5) We open the final door and is greeted with a adult male voice who knows exactly who we are, what the teddy is, and how it should look. This is most likely our father. He gave teddy to us for our birthday. I feel that the added prologue does a pretty good job of giving us an idea of how all of this came to pass. We see boxes everywhere that are going in number as time passes. We see phantoms of arguments and other instances of shown fear. We are wondering around rescuing our toys and gathering them up. It's dark and in the middle of a snowstorm. This is the opportune time for the mother and child to flee the home and the relationship[spoiler]. It appears from inference that the parents are [spoiler]currently in a custody battle. With what is left out of the overarching story, we have no way of telling which is worse: an angry alcoholic of a mother, or a father that our mother felt she had to flee from. Sorry about all the spoiler tags, Rush_shirt.
