The Dark Pictures: Little Hope

Real talk, I loved this game. The performers nailed their work, the story fascinated me, and I enjoyed the QOL changes made to the gameplay. I *did* have some issues with the walking mechanic, where my character would suddenly shift direction without my input, but the struggle was minimal.

The main reason I knocked off a few stars on my rating (8/10) was because of the ending. The twist was well integrated into the plot but I felt like it cheapened the more interesting story beats in a way that immediately left a sour taste in my mouth.

Other than wishing for a more fulfilling ending, and minor mechanical glitches, the game was/is well worth it in my book.

In my honest opinion, Little Hope is better than Man of Medan and until dawn. There is so much depth to this story, and the pacing is brilliant in making sure you are constantly empathising with the confusion and fear the characters feel. The range of setting, and history and ACCENT ACCURACY!! (Brilliant Yorkshire accents) I very seldom feel so invested in every timeline of a story that jumps back and forth. This game will leave you constantly trying to figure it out, so you're right where the game wants you. The witch trials storyline is both unnerving and opinion dividing as you truly feel left to your own devices, and totally in control of the outcome.

Worth the time and money, there's a very powerful ending, giving space to much conversation and debate afterwards.

Man of medan and Untill dawn were great games, but this one hit home. It seems like the developers took what experience they had from the two former games and made the best of it. Excellent and clever writing, especially with two players experiencing the game from 2 different perspectives. Second playthrough was just as interesting as the first, with very different outcomes and relationships between the characters. I quite liked the mystery revolving the past and the present, and the game never got boring. It was scary enough, a 6/10 on the Heebie Jeebies - scale, but it is the story and atmosphere that carries the game. It's rare, but i the ending was both interesting and dissapointing at the same time. Although I encountered a few minor bugs , the game played like a breeze.

Loved it

The second game in the dark pictures anthology named little hope is a very creepy game that made me jump out of my chair and had me scared to my heart little hope does a great job building tension and atmosphere the Gameplay has improved over man of medan and the performances have improved massively the characters were likeable and had good chemistry together and the jumpscares were very affecting the curator also improved over the last game he had more to do and I liked him more than i originally did however its ending was disappointing and had me confused over then that little hope was fun and exciting.

Better than Until Dawn imo. The story is fantastic and the ending made me think. This game is tense and mysterious and intriguing. Gameplay, Until Dawn excels, but story wise this one takes the medal.
