Supermassive Games is showing off its next horror title with a new trailer for The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope. Eschewing a ghost ship for the trappings of a town that suffered fears of witchcraft in the 17th century, there's a whole new cast and new scares for players to navigate. You can check out the trailer below.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is the second entry in what is planned as an eight-game anthology. Each game will have a different cast and setting, with the mysterious Curator, who provides the overarching frame and narrative, appearing in each game. The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is planned to release sometime in Summer 2020.
In my review of Man of Medan, I said that "There's plenty of great spooky stuff to go through, though the story feels a bit too safe and restrained compared to Supermassive's prior work. At around $30 and about four hours to play through, with plenty of replayability, this is well worth grabbing if you're interested in narrative-driven horror games."
Into the dark and deep
Supermassive Games' The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan is a narrative-driven horror game that tasks player with surviving supernatural nightmares and managing a cast of characters. If you loved Until Dawn, this is sure to be your type of game.
