Little Nightmares III: saw an ad in my Facebook feed for this.  I like
that personal touch.  It's what got me started on Jagged Alliance.

  "Little Nightmares" got you started on "Jagged Alliance"?!?
 The two games are light-years apart. The former is a surreal
third-person puzzler/platformer (of the usual Indie-bent: small child
in horrific situations with shadowy visuals). "Jagged Alliance" is an
'isometric' tactical strategy game using modern-warfare tactics and
situations. They are almost as far apart in tone, gameplay and style
as two video games can get. They don't even share the same developers.
 It's sort of like saying "Super Mario Bros. 3" got me started on "DCS:
A-10 Warthog". I mean, I'm sure there's a connection, but I absolutely
cannot see it.
 

Not like that, i meant that I was singled out to play both.  I received a postcard for Jagged Alliance back on State Street, where I went to graduate school.  The notice for Little Creatures III showed up in my stuff one day because some algorithm AI or person determined we were made for each other.
