Don't Starve Together: Hide & Seek [Animated Short] 

"Some things, once lost, are gone forever... but how will you know for sure unless you keep searching? For full details on this intermission click here: klei.gg/DSTCurrentUpdate It's intermission time again; A time to sit back and reflect on adventures past and dream of adventures yet to come. We're glad that all enjoyed our last animated short "Projector". These shorts give players a peek behind the motivations of our survivors and who they are, not just where they came from or how they got here. Some may be backstories and some side stories, but today it's a little bit of both. Also, we have new Wurt and Webber Youtooz on the way! Pre Order them from Youtooz here: youtooz.com/collections/dont-starve

It makes so much sense to me to see Winona and Wendy bonding together. And also seeing Winona almost take a big sister role to Wendy and ghost Abigail is adorable.

Only now I think about Winona and Wendy parallels. Both lost their beloved sibling, focusing their life on finding a way to get them back. Wow

Dead catcoon: Oh no Unharmed flower: Oh yes

*"should we hide?" Wendy asked.* *"and seek" Winona added, preparing a lethal amount of gunpower*

Oh crap the *lore* implications of that ending

Klei is just teasing us with how great a Don’t Starve tv show could be at this point

I fucking loved this short! The parallels between Wendy & Abigail and Winona & Charlie, the way that Winona comforted Wendy, the fact that Charlie killed the Catcoon and spread the petals for the girls to find Abigail, and the way that Winona acted around Wendy. One of my favorites animations of DST ever! I loved it!

oh my god the realization at the end that those werent Abigail's flower petals, those were *rose* petals this was a really good short, thank you very much Klei and props to the animators and writers! :]

Wendy players blaming Abigail for being a bit too agressive at times is canon now

I love this short and the implication that the true Charlie, just like when they were kids, wishes to be found and saved by her big sister yet again. Even if her evil personality has another plan for their body, she's still there. It makes me think that, once we reach the end, there will be a struggle to drive the shadow entity out of her. We are, after all, there ToGetHer.

Its nice to see that Charlie isn't entirely evil, she has her moments

The dynamic we didn't know we needed.

Wendy gets the next skill tree

Wendy smiling? impossible

Oh my god, small Charlie and Winona are so cute :O

As someone who hasn't seen her sisters in years, this short made me cry. Thank you Klei.

Wendy and Abigail reminding Winona of Charlie and then Winona acting like a mother/big sister to Wendy was really cute. It's a really cool dynamic. Afterall, even if she's quite nihilistic Wendy is still a little girl. I also like the detail that Abigail needs Wendy to summon her, I guess it's already something we knew from the game but here she feels like her own person and without Wendy it feels like she's completly helpless.

Aw this short is so adorable!!! Nothing could ever actually get in between those two and I bet the only reason Wendy was upset about the flowers in the first place was because she was getting them for Abby's sistern. Winona being the older sister character is so nice to see here just after helping out Wurt too, I love the interactions with these characters in the shorts so much! 🥰

THIS IS THE LORE I LIVE FOR RAAAAAAAAAAAHHH YESSSS PLEAAASE ANIMATED SERIES PLEAAAAASE 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Seeing Wendy smiling and laughing is good for the soul.

Remember, there's nowhere to hide. One way or another, Winona always finds you.

"Hold on Wendy, I need to flashback." *foams at the mouth*

Винона настолько хороша, что сделала факел, который не гаснет за 15 секунд)

There are actually a lot of lore implications in the flashbacks we see through Winona. 1. I'm going to have to assume that the house that she was staying in with Charlie was their cabin in British Columbia (Mentioned in the William Carter puzzles). We see that it is very small (Probably around 30 square feet) and the lack of parents shows that they most likely don't live there permanently. If we assume that their parents are relatively responsible for their children, then their actual house is most likely not very far away, meaning that the family lived in, and might even originate from, Canada. The fact that this might be the sisters' personal cabin is backed up even more by the fact that we only see two beds, as well as child's clothing and toys. Edit: I also found that there are quotes suggesting she lived in a tenement house, which was probably the primary dwelling of her family. 2. Though this theory isn't very strong, I couldn't help but notice that many of the pictures on the wall depict blossoms, bonsai trees, and something that looks to be the great wall of china, showing that they (or at least the cabin's previous owners) might be of East Asian descent. 3. You can also see that the cellar Charlie hides in is full of produce, as we can see a milk can, peaches, pumpkins, potatoes, some kind of grain, garlic, a type of pickle, and other unidentifiable jars. This might mean that their parents either farmed this produce, or they were possibly left there to ration over a long period of time, maybe meaning that Winona, Charlie, and their parents planned to camp out here for a long time, either for leisure or in preparation for an event.

I seriously love how good the writing in these are despite the lack of any spoken dialogue omg The dynamic between Wendy/Abigail being compared to Winona/Charlie, the details on what Nona and Charlie's home life was like before this mess, the animation in general just being stellar! I think this is my favorite of all the animated shorts by a long mile, well done to everyone who worked on this and every one of these shorts. Your work is so appreciated by everyone in the fanbase

Abigail is the only one who can make Wendy THAT happy

I'am a simple man. New video from Klei ---insta like!

Rip catcoon, didn't even grab the meat on a game called "Don't starve"

oh my Gods... it really is nice to see Wnedy finally smiling probably for the first time in forever. Also I love the relationship between Charlie and Winona when they were kids. And hwo intresting it is to see Charlie also having fun memories with Winona

Never stop cooking Keli.

Watching an animation here is always a fun roluette of "Is this going to be cute and funny?" or "Am I going to cry?" Great work with the tear factory, as always!

They really didn't want to go through the hassle of crafting a new flower, did they?😂

Wendy will forever be my favorite character in DST when will she get her skill tree? But keep up the good work 😊

Charlie: Wendy would feel horrible about loosing their sister. I'll pick a leaf off a new flower to bring her back! Also Charlie: Went in the dark? Don't mind if I do! *dies you to death*

I like how as time passes, Wendy seems to be more and more cheerful.

This is a nice animated short. Honestly, from my honest opinion, Don’t Starve Together should have an animated series. I love the gothic animation style here, and I don’t see it often. I hope you all have a good day!

I love this short. It gives a parallel connection between Winona and Charlie and Wendy and her sister. They both love to play together, and they both need each other no matter what. I love the scene when Winona shedding tears at Wendy reunited with her sister. It gives her flashbacks when Winona found Charlie crying in dark. What an amazing animated short for Winona and Wendy. We should get more shorts focusing on the girls. And I am happy Klei Entertainment never forget Don’t Starve Together and the focus on Charlie’s arc. Keep up the good work.

This animation made me realize how underrated the interaction between Winona and Wendy Like of course i shouldve known, theyre both having sister problems

Is it just me or did Charlie kill the catcoon to let Wendy get her flower back?

A short with Wendy, Winona and Queen Charlie? Peak Cinema🔥

I love the idea of Wendy and Winona being friends, as they both have lost their sisters.

As much as I long for Wendy and Abigail to have some interaction with their uncle, this dynamic with Winona and Wendy and Abby's parallel with Charlie is perfection and everything I didn't know I wanted!!!

Charlie’s perspective is so interesting… just how the throne made Maxwell into a different person I wonder how Charlie is. She seems to have a lot going on

Charlie reminded me of Anna from Frozen. "Do you want to play in the darkness?" I think she killed the catcoon because of the sisterly feelings she has for Winona.

This might be my favorite short yet since the Warly short, you guys really outdid yourselves with this one. The flashbacks and the parallels between the two characters, just great stuff. Really excited for more in the future!

Klei Entertainment, your animations spark so many emotions in me, I've been following for many years and your animations make me feel like i'm a kid again playing Don't Starve for the first time in this mysterious world. Good job, Klei Team!

Even when they were kids, Winona was always there to pull Charlie out of the darkness.

IS NO ONE GOING TO PICK UP THIS MEAT! grabs catcoon meat

Klei really knows how to start off a new month!

Overall I loved seeing more of Wendy and Winona but I few things I noticed was: - Wendy was just happier this time. It’s nice to see that kinda character growth from her. - When we see child Winona and Charlie in the photo from Winona’s animated short (the “Next of Kin” one), child Winona and Charlie have different outfits than in this animated short. I’m assuming it’s just because they were an bit older in the photo. - Charlie caring about the others was odd but nice to see.

Peak cinema ✋🏻🤵🏻🤚🏻

I'm so happy! Wendy is my main, and she got to be sort of a main focus in this. Absolutely love the big sister little sister dynamic.🌺👻

Oh my goodness never let Wendy cry again :( Also did Charlie replace abigail's flower with rose petals? IS ABIGAIL NOW SHADOW-ALIGNED???! Charlie still has a heart

Winona's sister somehow showing a little heart is somewhat new to these animations

i really like this short but the fact wendy can always make a new flower with mourning glory ruins it a little

Young Charlie is adowable

This really reminds me of a quote from Demon's Souls. It goes like this: "You have a heart of gold, don't let them take it from you."

I love the character interactions and the connection wiona and wendy have..here really a great mini short.. that is some good writing here kudos to klei entertainment for this Mini short animation The more i see these short animations about charlie the more i wanna know about the character like who is she, what's her goal etc.

The mini heart attack I ended up getting after seeing the rose petals... You got me good Klei 😭

ЭТО САМЫЙ ЛУЧШИЙ И ЛЮБИМЫЙ КОРОТКОМЕТРАЖНЫЙ ФИЛЬМ. Я ТАК ОБОЖАЮ ВАШИ РАБОТЫ

any animation with wendy is always really special

klei is the kind of studio that makes a beautiful story with characters that could be so happy and friends all it could be so nice and then they go "YOU WILL NEVER HAVE ANY OF THAT" And god do i want a good ending..

0:01 Don't Starve Together

Another amazing animation! Please give my thanks to the talented and hard-working animators who never fail to bring us such high quality animations!!

Wow, I never thought Wendy would actually get in a fight with Abigail

This is so wholesome, I’m actually gonna have a heart attack. I’ll probably sound repetitive when I say this but, great animation and storytelling like always. Also… DONT STARVE ANIMATED SERIES WHEN?!?!?!

Wendy who was unable to smile finally does what was thought impossible in her eyes

Woah amazing Klei excelled with this animated short I hope one day I do the same for the original DST dlcs

Hey Klei, I'm a really big fan of all the Winona content we've been getting recently, she's one of my favorite characters and it's awesome to see her get this treatment. I was wondering if we might ever see more about Winona's coworkers back at Voxola, specifically Genevieve?

why those memories give me goosebumbs , but i love those stories❤ , btw feel very sad about charlie and her sister 😢 you play with our feeling sir

This was heavier on Wanona than I thought. Abigail and Wendy mirror Wanona and Charlie. She's still in there, somewhere. ☀️🌙 🌟

Imagining Charlie beating a catcoon in the dark so Wendy can have her flower back.

As an eldest sister, I felt Winona's worry for Charlie and Wendy. What a good short.

Of course a Wendy had to be picking flowers lmao

I truly loved this short. Every single short is good but this one made me literally cry with the part that make us think that the flower was broke and the first part was a huge thing. Really good short Klei

Augh, this confirms the leitmotif we've been hearing in these animatics was connected to Charlie herself and not just her antics!! And I love the beautiful wrench thrown into the story that is Charlie still showing signs of having a heart ❤

I love seeing that Abigail actually has a proper personality, despite her dance animation, i often had the impression that Abigail didn't exactly feel like she had much going on, but i do really like seeing the twins behave like sisters

Ah I love these so much, you guys are the best

No more animated shorts I need an animated series. Top notch work

What a heartwarming short! I also love the lore between Winona, Wendy, and Charlie! Also, it looks like the wooden house is the cabin that Charlie mentions to Maxwell in the William Carter Puzzles. Thank you for pampering us with these wonderful animations, Klei!

Its crazy how each character in Dont Starve Together got great potential for a single story. What a game people

This is so wholesome!❤ I love how Winona try to comfort Wendy and Charlie helping them at the end.☺️

I love how Klei always manages to combine a touching story with the overarching lore of the whole series. If this were a show I'd watch it.

DUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE CORRUPTED BY SHADOWS AND DARKNESS AND LONELINESS CHARACTER STILL HAVING A DEMONSTRABLY SOFT HEART AND YEARNING FOR WHAT ONCE WAS A HAPPY LIFE WITH THOSE SHE LOVED...................

I can't believe the original game came out 10+ years ago, I'm so happy that it was able to find success and foster a dedicated, and still active community, and most of all, that Klei still puts love into the game and it's characters. I love watching these animated shorts and learning more about the relationships between the survivors in the Constant, thank you Klei!

We rarely ever see Wendy in these shorts. Thank you for giving her a moment with Winona.

Why are we acting like Wendy can't just make another flower...

This short is incredible- it’s great to see the kinship between survivors, as well as some actual humanity and compassion attached to Charlie.

Ooooo this was really good! I love that these DST shorts don't need words to tell their story

THIS IS SO AMAZING!! the amount of love poured into this game and its world is so incredible and that's why its my favorite game ever

Klei animations always making me feel stuff! The fear of close familial loss and the relieved joy at finding them ok. Always getting me misty eyed!

Yesterday I was playing a game with my best friend while listening to music, and while I was this video came up as an ad Somehow the *second* I heard the ad's audio my first thought was "Is this Don't Starve?" And I was suprised that I was actually right, goes to show how unique of a game this is that I can reconize it by just its sound lol

I LOVE how we are seeing the dst characters interact its so cute🤗 also giu need to give the animators a raise omg the animation is peak

Love this one! All of the animations are so good, but I'm biased to this one since Wendy & Abigail and Winona & Charlie are some of my favs. Always love to see content of them! I hope you guys do an animated series sometime in the future, I know your team must be super busy but many people would love to see it, you're all very talented. I know I'm rambling, but genuinely thank you, your team is so refreshing to see in a world of so many apathetic and greedy game devs, you guys stand out like a kind light in the dark and are so wholesome and seem to understand your players. I've been here since before RoG and you guys have been the exact same sweet devs through all these years.

This great thank you Klei for this short and i hope you realase longer videos some day

WINONA I LOVE YOU 😭😭😭😫😫😫 so much auntie energy from her I LOVE HERRR

Love these animated shorts. So good!

I wanna get back into this on ps5, I love that you guys still take care of this masterpiece

i really like this video, my favorite character is Winona, my girlfriend often uses Wendy. we often play with those 2 characters every day, this video not only makes me feel the 2 characters are close but also like our memories when playing Dst
