The artbook explained the cut ideas (kraken, swim, mermaid tail...) but... Can see theses, in action, it's fantastic. it's amazing how much they changed the game in just 1 year, especially this chapter ! Thank you very much !
Ahhh, the Yeti Cave! Always thought it was weird that there was only 1 Yeti in the whole game lol. Looks like they were testing the cave and the pause menu at the same time c: The mermaid portion blew my mind. What a much more interesting and appropriate concept compared to the end result. Splitting it by sections also helps to break up the monotony in the zone that definitely shows in the release version. I'm guessing the black box we follow in those sections is the Treasure Turtles we see in the Character section in game. Definitely one of the areas that needed the least amount of work functionality wise once they abandoned the swimming system and instead put in the jellyfish platforming and octopus sections, which drag on so much comparatively. The devs desire to reuse the dress from the mermaid portions is probably what lead to us having distinct outfits in the first place. I would have enjoyed Chapter 2 much more had they been able to finish what they intended.

im so sad they removed the swimming areas. although the swimming in the first game was the WORST thing EVER. this seemed fun and kinda calm
Woah I knew they were going to have her swim but mermaid Alice looks even better than I thought!!

Agreed. A shame. The retail version feels so watered down that it’s almost insulting
okay the mermaid tail would have been pretty cool
Tundraful a would’ve been so beautiful with that giant waterfall in the beginning and perspective difference of the bottle makes it feel grand
32:18 omg
This is very cool! Thank you for this video!
28:47 Wow! Tentacles (octopus 🐙?). They didn't appear in the final game
is there any footage of the mersquid by any chance??? i’ve been DYING to see her
swimming 👀 mermaid costume 👀 too bad they replaced it with more normal sections in final, this could have added a bit more variety to the game
We lost so much London content 😢
Sad the swimming was scrapped
14:50 😂 Yeti
