I know I'm late but that's *permanent* knowledge. Even if you craft everything, by the time you die you'll forget it in the next world. It's just for gameplay obviously but in lore I assume your memories get scrambled a bit. Not a bad deal, a headstart is great when you're trapped in hell for eternity.

I felt ya, Wicker. That's the exact same expression I feel when you come back to a burning base. I do realize, the quote "I know a place to tuck it away" by Maxwell is not into the constant, but LITERALLY stuck it all into Wicker's brain, no wonder Wicker has insomnia..

The fact that Willow set fire to the library is mind blowing! Klei never ceases to amaze me with her quality and love of her work. I've been a fan of DS for a few years, despite the fact that now I almost do not play now - I continue to follow the updates and animations from time to time.

This may be a stretch, but at the end of the animation Willow got a note that said "one more to go" and since we know that the only two characters left to rework are Maxwell and Wilson (both of whom we know didn't enter because of Willow) that means that there may be a new character in the works. Either that or we will be getting some more lore about our current cast that relates to it (like Woodie for example)

Могу сказать следующее: Судя по символике в подвале, бабулька, скорее всего, состоит в каком то культе/секте/тайной организации, что собирает инфу об паранормальном, в том числе и о Константе. Она, думаю, является хранителем вещ.доков и инфы, из-за чего и навлекла на себя беду. Увидев страхоклюва, бабка спускается в подвал, ибо видела что-то подобное. Не найдя в книжках, открывает архивную папку. На ней бирка: Сан Франциско. Смею предположить, что эти документы принадлежали Картеру. Фокусник, что рекламирует себя тёмным магом, творит бесовщину и на камеру (хз канон ли) пропадает без вести, устраивая землетрясение. Его квартиру полюбому обыскивали во время расчистки завалов, а так-как люди тут не народ из вселенной ФНаФа, то сложили два-плюс-два и поняли чё да как. Так что Максвелл наведался к Уикер за собственными записями. Плюс, устранил информатора, дабы всяким Вагстаффоподобным челядям неповадно было к нему соваться. Уикер, скорее всего, знает кто он. Не "понимает", а именно "знает" (по вышеописанным причинам. Уильям как-никак на виду был, так что скорее всего она в курсе откуда документы, где они были и с чем они связаны). Так что сцена с мимикой, перед вознёй со шкафом, как по мне, очень сильная. Максвелл - мужик умный, решает две проблемы сразу: вся связанная с окультизмом утварь сгорает, а знания, записи, документы и etc. оказываются в Уикер, что летит в Константу. Отсюда название короткометражки и возможная причина, почему бабулька не может спать - когда у тебя в голове столько информации крутится, попробуй-ка её нормально переварить и с ней ужиться. Много вопросов. Про мужика, похожего на Вуди (там кстати, отсылки к разрабам есть в сцене, в виде остальных пожарников), про куклу эту треклятую. Судя по описанию из игры, эту одержимую куклу нашли на чердаке ныне покойной бабушки (какой - не уточняется). Она принадлежала какому-то ребёнку, что покинул её (пол ребёнка не уточняется). Тут уже множество мега-теорий пошло. И про родственные связи Вылов и Викер, и про тизер нового персонажа (народ предполагает, что записка в конце на это намекает. либо нас ждёт раскрытие новых подробностей старого персонажа). Один чёрт пока ничего не понятно и остаётся только ждать. Обращу внимание на две вещи: цветовая гамма и кукла. У нас вернулась старая гамма Уиллоу (красная) и появилась новая - зелёная. Цветовое решение сразу даёт понять, что горит всё из-за огонь-девки, ещё до её появления. И что нам показывают прямо перед пожаром? Да. Эту треклятую-говнятую куклу. Чтобы люди поняли из-за кого сыр-бор? Вряд ли. Так что её туда засунули специально. Это подтверждают и разработчики. Скорее не они, их отмалчивание на стриме, что был полчаса назад. Они упорно мансили от всех этих вопросов, говоря что они "просто художники" и нервно посмеиваясь. Лол. Так что эта фарфоровая бестия - явная затравка. Уверен, мастера лора и ИГРОТЕОРИЙ найдут что-то ещё. Возможно, я вообще неправ и написал фигни. Но пока лорные кусманы ищутся, я предлагаю свои умозаключения на обсуждение Как бы там не было, одно я знаю точно: АРТОВ С УИЛЛОУ И МАКСВЕЛЛОМ СТАНЕТ НАМНОГО БОЛЬШЕ

Animations is always superb as always! I love how you can tell such a story without any type of voice acting. I always look forward to these shorts

I ALWAYS WONDERED IF WILLOW WAS THE REASON FOR SOME OF THESE FIRES THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD I did NOT expect her to be working with Maxwell potently though, if she even really knew. I also noticed her forlorn doll skin as an actual doll which is a really cool detail! I feel like she might have not known Wicker was in the building still, she was with her cat in the end and even has a quote for hollow stumps saying that she wouldn't burn it while someone lives there. I may be reaching at that point though, but man this was incredible! Poor miss Wickerbottom

Willow mains 2 milliseconds after finding base: 1:32

Interestingly, it seems Willow was working with “them” and Maxwell to force other survivors into no win situation to force them to accept the deal... That brings so much lore implication, that is actually insane.

I love these animations so much. I'm happy now we know more about how was her life (or at least a little) before the Constant! It's very interesting to see that the story connects with Willow. Thank you, Klei, once again!

Thats just awesome! Thanks for all you doing!

That doll in the background, now we know what was Willow skin referring to, yet still only more mysteries to uncover. Love you klei for how much effort you put in that game.

YOU CAN'T JUST DROP THAT ON US KLEI. This has heavy rammifications for the lore an I'm gonna be up all night speculating this! Animation quality has gotten significantly better though, nice job!

I love the thought of willow working for maxwell and plus it shows that this is after her time I’m the constant or possibly maxwell had a deal with her after she saw the shadows as a kid, nice job as always klei.

These shorts are always breathtaking!! Thanks for the video AND the update ♥

It was always suspected Willow was behind the fire at the Library, however we now also know she seemed to be working with Them. Gotta love this lore. Also this is the only time we get to see Wicker's eyes opened in a non-cursed way, so that's neat!

@@ole9274 No one ever said the Moon wasn't a form of them. Alter is also an eye. The thing that destroyed the ancient civilization (Which we have seen, it's in the murals seen in the Metheus puzzles) is also represented as an eye. Fuelweaver also says "Curse Their name!" When turning the ancient gateway off, basically confirming the darkness is Them, or a form of Them as well. Since we know the Gateway is the source of Nightmare fuel and darkness. The 2 are godlike entities. Both can be Them, as both control a key aspect of the constant.

@@ole9274 Fuelweaver states that the beings from the portal (AKA the nightmare creatures and the darkness) is Them. "They are unfathomable." It says during your battle with it as it fights to shut off the portal... "Curse Their name!" It says when it shuts the portal down after killing the player. It also mistakes Charlie, a being of Darkness, as them for a moment. "Who are you? Release me, shade! You are not Them... Are you so easily deceived? Ha... You deserve this. You've made your choice." (It says this when it dies, by the way.) Though, to be fair, this could also be interpreted as Fuelweaver cursing Alter for forsaking them and warning the Survivors of the coming storm, as seen in the line "They are coming. It cannot be stopped." Personally, I'll continue to believe "Them" refers to both the darkness and the moon, but you do you!

wait whaaaat? man every time i tell myself DST cant surprise me with the new lore in cinematics anymore, i get blown away! cant wait for more! thanks klei!

Wow! The quality of these animated shorts became sooo good! I can't believe no big streaming service picked this up yet. Can't wait for the next short!

This Was sick!!! Looking foward to more from you guys 🥰

The emotional whiplash i experienced from realizing the cat was fine to immediately screaming because of the Willow twist was wild to say the least. My jaw actually dropped when i read the note at the end 😭

I love Klei and I love Don’t Starve. Keep it up please. I wanna keep playing this game even when I’m 90

God I have been wanting a wickerbottom short for so long, and now it’s here! Glad you guys didn’t forget about the cat too, lowkey had me stressing about that little friend the entire time.

The heavy insinuating doll in her hidden lair, and how wicker became her own precious library. Love this game's lore. :)

while watching this with someone i said when the fire started "Who let willow in lol" and then it turns out it was Willow, very cool!

the animation in this is incredible and the atmosphere/worldbuilding of the world outside the constant is so cool, well done Klei!

The plot twist at the end really got me! nice one, Klei.

[Spoiler alert] I think the doll trapped in wicker's secret basement (also known as willow's forlorn doll skin) is symbolic of how willow is sort of trapped in this deal she made with maxwell, and the container being glass may symbolize how she thinks she isn't trapped when she can't see that she obviously is
