Little Hope sets itself up fairly well for an interesting story, but unfortunately it doesn’t quite stick the landing with a twist that only raises more questions that it answers. What ensues is a story of struggling against one’s own demons, both literally and figuratively as the game dives headfirst into its own version of the Salem Witch Trials, and how trigger-finger accusations can often target the wrong people. Flash forward to the present day and at the scene of a bus crash, five survivors who look identical to the family claimed by the house fire, decide to venture into the nearby town of Little Hope for help.Īndrew and his fellow survivors discover quite quickly that the thick fog surrounding Little Hope now prevents them from leaving, forcing them to endure whatever Little Hope has in store for them. It all takes a rather dark turn when the kitchen stove catches on fire, engulfing the house and claiming several lives in the process. Little Hope begins with a scene of domestic unbalance in the 1970s, as two parents argue while their four children avoid the chaos as best they can. It might sound a bit daunting, but Supermassive has enlisted the talents of Hollywood star Will Poulter to guide us through it all as the game’s main character, Andrew.
If you’ve already played the anthology’s first entry, Man of Medan, then you’ll know that with these shorter, episodic style games, Supermassive intends for these titles to be enjoyed amongst friends, and Little Hope is no different.ĭitching the ocean backdrop of Man of Medan, Little Hope sets itself squarely inland, telling a tale of rural America that transcends three different time periods: the 1600s, the 1970s and the present day. It was great, terrifying and clearly the folks at Supermassive Games were paying attention. Despite Until Dawn being a single-player game, we all felt that the opportunity to engage (and have the life scared out of us) with an interactive horror film was just too good to pass up. Some years ago, my closest friends and I made the decision to play through Until Dawn as a group.
Developer Supermassive Games is back with the eagerly anticipated second installation of The Dark Pictures Anthology, Little Hope.
