Remember those really popular 'Henry saves everyone' BATIM AUs that were really popular back in the day? I found a game that literally does that as a true ending.
My Friendly Neighbourhood has a true ending where the protagonist Gordon restores sanity to all the puppets, helps them out by giving them back their eyes/ giving them food/ fixing their piano/ watching a movie with them etc, and at the end they reboot the show and live happily ever after. I was watching a bunch of the cutscenes today and the voice acting is great! I have no idea why it didn't reach the popularity BATIM did.
ooh i remember watching the demo for that game and I enjoyed it but you're right, it didn't take off as much after that. I also wonder why?
maybe its mascot designs didn't feel enough to blorbo-ify? (mascot in loose terms)
not enough popular youtubers played the full version?
marketing?
the demo didn't have enough for people to create several headcanons and theories and fanfiction about that compounded on itself to an insane degree before the release of the full game so it didn't have the effect other media that released in chunks get for better and for worse?
it didn't get memed on?
the popularity and success rate of indie horror will always be a fascinating thing to me

i'm not over Nimona and I've rewatched it so many times. I know there have been other posts about the religious symbolism and comparisons between the institute and christianity, but i can't believe it took me until my fourth rewatch to notice that the 'T' looks like a cross in this scene
so i thought "oh, wow. maybe that's just the way the font always is"
but then in the next scene with Ambrosius looking at the news, the font is the same and the 'T's are normal
So i paid more attention to the fonts when text was shown, and the way the capitol 'T' vs lowecase 't' is used is very... intentional??
Maybe its been pointed out, maybe i'm reaching, but. Once i saw it, i couldn't unsee it.
