Realized that I forgot to share some of my speculation on the Lies of P sequel on here:
1) Some speculation on the setting and themes (written back in June)

Wanted to check out the @indiearenabooth.de lineup, but had to realize the website has been revamped so the order of games is always random. Quite irksome since I always checked out every game and noted down those I was interested in. Perhaps a "sort alphabetically" feature would help?

The theme of death and rebirth is certainly something that's very prominent in #LiesOfP, and right from the start, #LiesOfPOverture builds onto it even more.
So, let's take a look at how Overture does this.

Pro tip if you want to avoid pissing me off: Never, EVER mention "Assassin's Creed" to me.
It means violation of the history of real-life people for the sake of science-fictiony conspiracy theories.
It means marketing lies for the sole purpose of painting yourself as important.

Am I the only one who feels sort of anxious about #Neowiz making #LiesOfP into a franchise?
Personally, I don't feel like I need a sequel to LoP - I'm perfectly happy with LoP as it is, and Overture already was a last-minute save for me (thanks to my own "Nightmare Theory").
