There is a lot to chew on in the game that players will only have vague ideas of who the characters are. As noted, the choices affect the dynamics of the character relationships, how they escape, and whether or not they survive. They can make the dialogue decisions by pointing the needle of a compass at one of two spoken options. More, they seem to have been born multiple times, as depicted in the way it thrust the characters into scenarios from three different eras.ĭespite the crawling cast and scenes, however, the players can only control the present-day versions of the characters. Oddly enough, the protagonists have the same faces and similar names to the family in the 70s. The said family-save one-met their grisly demise when the youngest daughter left her doll on the stovetop causing the house to burn. The game begins with a flashback to the 1970s and a short introduction to a troubled family of six.
The goal of the game is to escape the predicament they are in. It introduces four college students and their professor, all of whom are trapped in a Silent Hill-esque Salem Witch scenario after their bus crashes.
The premise, meanwhile, is very familiar to Stephen King’s The Mist or John Carpenter’s The Fog. It has the same Puritan-era paranoia from The Witch, coupled with the iconography from The Blair Witch Project. Like its immediate predecessor, The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan, Little Hope is a mix of various elements seen in other horror stories. It is a four-hour narrative game, which can be played solo or cooperatively. It is a series of cinematics, linked together by choices, and, occasionally, interrupted by a quick-time prompt.
The second installment of the Dark Pictures Anthology franchise, this game is a mashup of horror tropes and subgenres. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is an interactive horror video game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.
