Little Nightmares studio's Reanimal is more kids-in-dark-places, but now with co-op

It's been nearly four years since Tarsier Studios waved goodbye to Little Nightmares after being snapped up by Embracer…

And it's a tale that'll unfold using a minimalist, "restrained" narrative approach, where - as with Tarsier's earlier work - visual storytelling remains the focus, albeit now accompanied by a smattering of voice acting. Instead, that honour goes to local and online co-op play - a feature that managed to allude Little Nightmares, despite its dual protagonists seeming like a natural fit, but one the studio is finally ready to deliver in its latest game. Working on the basis "horror is best with friends", Reanimal lets two players explore its world at the same time, both viewing the action through a shared camera that keeps them together in the same frame, even as it shifts from one cinematic perspective to the next.
