Much of the problem is that it doesn’t take long to feel like we’ve seen this all before. Though, in reality, it steps into almost every creature feature trope imaginable with tongue firmly out of cheek and wildly suffers for it. I wish that the same could be said about The Dark Pictures Anthology’s second entry, Little Hope. That was a game that felt like it understood every horror veteran’s expectations of the genre and knew how to expertly surpass them.

The Dark Pictures Anthology may have officially kicked off last year with the release of Man of Medan, but any PS4 fan will tell you that this series of choose-your-own-adventure spooks truly began with the still excellent Until Dawn. I really admire the kind of vibe developer Supermassive Games is trying to build and, in some ways, recreate with its annual series of Tales from the Crypt-esque interactive ghost stories.
