TheThe Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope has you trapped and isolated in the abandoned town of Little Hope, four college students and their teacher must escape the nightmarish apparitions that relentlessly pursue them through an impenetrable fog. The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of intense, standalone, branching cinematic horror games featuring single and multiplayer modes. The college students and their professor become stranded in the abandoned town of Little Hope. Trapped by an impenetrable fog they try desperately to escape whilst witnessing terrifying visions from the past.
    They must figure out the motivation of these apparitions before the evil forces at work drags each of their souls to hell. Horror can be hard to get right in an interactive story genre style game. When you have the freedom to make your own decisions it can inadvertently interrupt the brooding moods and provocative themes within what the genre is built upon. However developer Supermassive has proven before that it can still tell a somewhat cohesive story no matter what players decide to do. If you played last year's Man of Medan, this spook-fest will feel incredibly familiar to you, and I was guilty of enjoying last years game. The narrative is once again the main reason to play as the choices you make have a dramatic impact on the course of events, shaping the ending and fates of controllable characters.
    All The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope wants to be is the popcorn flick of the horror genre, and despite an ending that robs somewhat from the overall experience and somewhat intruding load screens depending on your Xbox console model, the game achieves that. An interesting cast of characters lends weight and impact to your decisions while the story itself intrigues and surprises. Perfect for an unsettling night in? You got that right. In spite all of these the game has a somewhat frustrating ending for me, I'll not ruin that but it left me feeling a bit Alfred Hitchock.    … Expand

    Didn‘t care about lack of character deepness, it is a Horror Game, so this isn‘t needed.
    Story as a whole was really really good!
    I had 5 (10 in the meanwhile after second playthrough) exiting and thrilling hours and thats all I can ask for. Of course the game system itself has flaws, which origin in how it is build, but those didn‘t bother me at all. From my perspective better than Man of    Didn‘t care about lack of character deepness, it is a Horror Game, so this isn‘t needed.

    Es un muy buen juego, pero lo han sacado sin pulir. Muchos bugs de imagen y/o sonido que te sacan del ambiente o no te dejan continuar. La historia es muy buena y dan ganas de repetirla.

    Another great entry in this series of games. The game is pretty scary at times and there's so much mystery when it comes to the plot and there's so many alternate choices as usual.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Little hope had amazing gameplay combined with an amazing story. The dialogue was a bit wonky at points but it kind of made sense with one of the endings… Expand

    Esse jogo tem uma pegada bem Until Dawn. A história é um pouco pior, mas ainda é boa, a finalização do game também é muito boa. Uma coisa que me incomoda é que esse jogo mesmo sendo de terror, não causa quase medo nenhum, o maior recurso deles para causar "medo" são jumpscares baratos. O jogo foca muito mais no barulho alto para dar um susto do que na própria tensão, que é algo essencialEsse jogo tem uma pegada bem Until Dawn.

    Overall I think Little Hope is just alright. I don’t think there’s anything special to be found here. The twist in the story has been done way better as well as the gameplay by the same studio from all accounts. I guess that the good news is that if like me this is your first Supermassive game it apparently only gets better from here.

    The Dark Pictures: Little Hope is a horror game better than the first game of this Supermassive Games anthology. The story and setting will make the game a very enjoyable experience for lovers of the genre.

    A solid second chapter to Supermassive Games' horror anthology, fixing some of the past problems and introducing a deeper and tenser plot.
