Little Nightmares

Sometime back, Bandai Namco revealed that a new IP aimed at a Western audience would be revealed at Gamescom. Now we seem to know the name, Little Nightmares, and earlier today, they launched a teaser site for the game.
NOTE: It doesn't seem to work on mobile, as I just get "To enjoy this experience, please use a computer".

EDIT: Okay, so I looked it up and it seems the teaser site has a puzzle that you can solve that I think is supposed to change each day. At the top it says "Unveil what has been lurking in the darkest depths". The attachment below shows one of the puzzle results.

Little ambiguous creature first made me think pyramid head from silent hill. Then I decided it was a squashed up or deformed mushroom guy.

Oops! It seems the teaser site was put up on the 8th. I learned about it through BN's Twitter, which didn't mention the site till today.

The game has been announced.
"Little Nightmares follows a "dark, yet whimsical tale" that will see players confront their childhood fears as they help a girl dressed in a yellow raincoat escape the jaws of The Maw – a vast, mysterious vessel inhabited by corrupted souls seeking their next meal."

Teaser Trailer:

The game is being developed by Swedish developer Tarsier Studios.

I guress I'll assume the game is puzzle-based, judging by a few screenshots?

(I might be missing a few, but I don't know)

Maw you say? Interesting.

I found out that this game was actually announced last year under the name "Hunger". Today's announcement was simply a re-reveal of it under it's publisher and new name. The teaser from 2015 actually showed some (early) gameplay.

New trailer. The game releases for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in Spring 2017.

Some info from Siliconera.
"The Maw arrives every year. Always at the same time, but never in the same place, it creeps and crawls and buries its claws deep beneath the glistening water. And there it sits in vast silence. Waiting.

Soon after, they start to arrive. The guests. The monstrous, sweating, hungry guests. All seams bursting, bodies bulging, eyes dead with boredom. They shuffle up the gangway and into the mouth of The Maw. And then they are no more.

For none of those that enter have ever returned to tell the tale. At least, not yet...

Immerse yourself in Little Nightmares, a dark whimsical tale that will confront you with your childhood fears as you help Six escape The Maw—a vast, mysterious vessel inhabited by corrupted souls looking for their next meal."

Oh wow. That looks ... interesting.

That is also not what I thought this was: http://newtitle01.bn-ent.net/

This teaser site appeared not too long ago. I thought it might've been this game.

When I checked around 10am-ish the hand was at 12 ... so something is happening.
