    How to survive the deep Swedish forest 101:
    - Do not listen to the naked man playing violin in the lake/river/stream. He is trying to drown you.
    - Do not get on the back of the strange horse near a lake/river/stream. It is trying to drown you.
    - Do not go down into any abandoned mines without knocking and announcing your presence, or else the lady of the mine will not be pleased and she might try to drown you by flooding the mine.
    - Do not lay with strange naked ladies who never turn their backs to you. Their backs are hollow like an old log and they might take your soul. Otherwise, they are fairly nice and might actually not try to drown you. Unless they live in a lake. Then they'll most likely try to drown you.
    - Do not follow strange lanterns into the woods at night. It is small lantern men, and they are trying to decieve you.
    - Give the lost, crying child a name. It will haunt you until you do.
    Basically, don't be entranced by strange and beautiful creatures, be polite when entering mines, and give nameless children a name. Then you'll be fine.

You go into shock quickly from the sudden temperature drop and your heavy clothes get waterlogged instantly so you can barely move. Unless someone can drag you out and warm you up, you'll most likely die from hypothermia or drowning. So stories like these help people be cautious around water.

    The beginnings animation where he pulled himself out the statue and stood up, the detail with how his foot came out his shoe slightly, was just nice to see because it just shows how much they are paying attention towards the detail and making it as realistic as it can be. Although I will say I wish the boy we played as was more expressive vocally so that I could connect to it more. Because it feels like playing on a mmo where the avatar has a default expression on 99% of the time, which makes it feel less real, and makes me detached.

    "Den blomstertid nu kommer" (which is played from 1:33) is probably one of the most beautiful songs ever made. it´s a Swedish psalm which is sung when our children have summer holiday. My kids sing it, i sang it, my parents sang it and my grandparents sang it. it beautifully encapsulate the feeling of summer in the nordic regions. i actually cried when i heard it sung by a church full of kids last summer. it´s sort of a catalyst of relief for that the harsh winter months are over.... for now.
    roughly translated:
    1.
    The flowering times are coming
    with lots of desire and beauty
    Sweet summer is approaching
    where grass and crop sprout
    the gentle sun awakens
    everything that once was dead
    it covers it all with verdure
    and everything is reborn
    2.
    The beautiful flower meadows
    And fields of noble grain
    The rich herb beds
    And all the green tree´s
    Shall everyday remind us
    the riches of god´s goodness
    Let grace come to our senses
    which last´s all year round¨
    theres a total of 6 verses.. but i think you get the gist of it..

    I worked in Stockholm for 6 months in 2009. I don't know if it was because it was around Christmas or if it's like that all year, but that little fella at 2:40 was in every stores I went - except they had huge puffy beards and big round noses. I bought one from each store, ended up with 11, gave the biggest to my sis, the smallest to my cat, the rest for my Christmas tree. I just love 'em and I don't know why!?

    In Slavic mythology, vodyanoy or vodyanoi (Russian: водяно́й') is a water spirit. In Czech and Slovak fairy tales, it is called vodník (or in Germanized form: Hastrman), and it is considered to be the equivalent creature as the Wassermann or nix of German fairy tales.
