Here’s this new fella, a thieving little snitchbug:
As with last week’s riddle, players were given a rhyme-y clue. The answer “grindle,” was also the password to a locked .zip file. Seems likely that’s this little fella’s name. Also like last week, the above .gif and image came with some text: In RPS’s Hollow Knight review, John Walker found it to be good, just not quite as good as some of the other tough-as-nails platformers from the same year. Imogen is all over Silksong though. “I played the demo at EGX back in October, and it was wonderful how different yet familiar [Hornet’s] world felt to play in,” she said. “When it comes to combat, she has a much speedier moveset than the tiny Knight before her.” A common snitchbug, fixated on thievery. Though he has travelled the lengths of Pharloom, he’s seen most of it through the iron bars of cages and cells. Free at last, he’s taking full advantage of the kingdom’s ailing state. This sneaky thief will gladly take rosaries in exchange for snippets of information he has gathered, though his gossip is often of questionable value. Imogen hoped during last week’s riddle that it would be just the beginning of more ARG-style reveals for the sequel. So far that’s coming true, though of course it’s just been a couple characters so far. Here’s hoping that Team Cherry continue raising the stakes, perhaps with a proper new trailer. There’s no release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong yet, but you can wishlist it over on Steam in the meantime.
