Bumping this topic for a couple reasons.

First, kotaku.com has a rumor that a sequel to SotC is set for the PS3, and that it may include co-op play ("You stab his ass! I'll go for the nose!"). I'd post the link, but details are not all that extensive at this point.

Second, a bit of google-research has revealed that SotC is set in the same world as ICO and is, in fact, a prequel. How far back it is, I don't know, but apparently Wander (your character in SotC) is the progenitor of the horned kids in ICO.

Third: Mwah ha ha =D http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=172

As to Wander being the progenitor of the horned kids in ICO, has it ever been revealed why the kids are being locked up in ICO?

They explain it at the beginning. They're locked up because horned children are considered cursed, apparently. I would assume it to be a societal hold-over from the priests who saw Wander come back with horns. It probably went from "Hey, that asshole who nearly freed Dormu had horns..." to "Horns bad!"
