Is the fate of Saira linked to Knytt?

[gordonfreeman01]

So just finished this very nice game and read someone referencing the best ending as the Knytt ending, is Saira present or is the story somehow related to Knytt underground?

Most of Nifflas' games take place in the same universe, including Saira and Knytt Underground. I could go into more detail, but have you played Knytt Underground? Don't want to spoil you on anything.

I'm going to play it next, thanks for the info! :)

There are several Knytt games, Knytt, Knytt Stories which is more of a game engine with many fan-made chapters, and Knytt Underground.

Here's some information on how heavily connected some of Nifflas' other games are to Knytt Underground:

Within a Deep Forest: Contains some fairly important information about the backstory of the setting and a certain major character in Knytt Underground.

Knytt: Completely unrelated aside from a hidden reference.

Knytt Stories: The Machine, A Strange Dream and some custom level are subtly referenced, but nothing major.

Night Sky: Judging by the fact that one of its areas has the same name as a location in Within a Deep Forest, it seems to take place in the same universe, but it doesn't seem to have any connections to other games.

Saira: Knytt Underground explains some of its backstory in a bit more depth.

The Great Work: One side quest in Knytt Undergound explains how this game is connected to it, but it's not much.


So overall, Within a Deep Forest and Saira are the only ones that really matter unless you want to understand every single reference.

Given that you've already played Saira, I'd recommend giving at least Within a Deep Forest a try before playing Knytt Underground. The rest of them also have some similarities in terms of gameplay though. But keep in mind that all of them have very simple plots, so you shouldn't expect too much from any of them story-wise.

Thanks kilicool64 for the detailed breakdown! I hope it also helps more people get into these games!
