вЂњTo make it into a full game would have needed more time, more people, and more money, so it was just an unfortunate case of having the right idea at the wrong time,вЂќ says Mervik. Unfortunately, The City of Metronome was never finished, and remains as merely a promising prototype to this day. When played back, different types of sound have different effects on characters and parts of the world, either preventing or allowing progression. He works his way through the city by recording sounds in the environment with a device on his back, and then changing their pitch, so that the same sound can be both soothing and aggressive. The main character is made to question this normality by a young girl, and goes on a quest to unravel the mysteries of the corporation in charge. The City of Metronome took place in a city where children are kidnapped, their soul is sucked out, and they are forced to work to keep industrial machines ticking. The game earned some decent attention, even getting an announcement trailer shown at E3 2005, due to its dark themes, unusual gameplay, and bizarre visual designs - something it shares with its successor, Little Nightmares. It goes all the way back to 2004, when a bunch of talented students in MalmГ¶, Sweden, were working on an adventure game called The City of Metronome. вЂњThis game feels like it's been bubbling up in us ever since the company's been around,вЂќ says Dave Mervik, Little NightmaresвЂ™ senior narrative designer. Tarsier has been ruminating on the ideas that went into Little Nightmares for the past 13 years.
