Released in 2017,Little Nightmaresfrom Tarsier Studios quickly became one of my favourite horror games of all time. Out of the many horror games that I’ve played, very few have given me the feeling of dread that the location of The Maw had.
Horrific monsters, fun puzzles, a vague but unnerving story,Little Nightmareshas all the ingredients you could ever want for a horror title and that was arguably taken to a new level with its 2021 sequel. To this day, I haven’t experienced a monster that made me poop myself quite like The Teacher inLittle Nightmares II.
Check out the Reanimal trailer below!

Reanimaltakes inspiration from the critically acclaimed co-op adventure from Hazelight Studios,It Takes Two. Obviously not from a family-friendly perspective, but sharing an experience with a friend. The developers want to replicate the feeling of watching a horror movie with a friend on the sofa, which is probably an experience few and far between nowadays.Reanimalcan also be played online.
The developers explained two co-op players will exploreReanimal’sworld from start to finish without wandering off from each other. You will always be in the same location with the dynamic camera zooming in and out as it needs to. When the devs mentioned thatReanimalwill be a co-op game, suddenly I had flashbacks of the very disappointingDead Space 3which had taken away all of its tension, but co-op is looking not to be a problem for the new game from Tarsier Studios.
You can playReanimalon your lonesome if you wish with the secondary character being AI-controlled, which might increase the tension of the game, despite the developers insuring us that playing co-op will lose none of its horror factor. I’m at my most scared when playing in the dark on my own. I guess we’ll soon find out which is the best way to playReanimal. The delightfully grotesque horror will also feature gameplay segments on a boat at sea. So if you had a fear of the deep, then you might have more than a few little nightmares to contend with.
