When Horror Devs Finally Stop Holding Back

The soldier playing the piano scene (20:49) is almost exactly like that scene in "The Pianist" with Adrien Brody where he plays Chopin's Ballade No.1 in front of a German soldier just looking on before he shoots him... it's gut-wrenching and it represents the last bits of humanity in a world where there seems to be none left

good game, bad ai slop video

Am I weird because the body horror didnt really seem that bad 😭

I’m always fascinated by horror creators making some of the most beautiful things. The use of lighting, the dark art style, the sound work. You can only make a landscape look so pretty in a video game, but you can make a horror environment endlessly terrifying

I dunno, a lot of indie horror games. A few gems like little nightmares a ton of slop too. I don't think they held back in Fear and Hunger. That game gave us everything the artist had.

i like the game but i just hate endings that are so cryptic

Ngl you kinda bullshitted everything here. I came with hopes, but found nothing.

Great review. I'm honestly impressed by this game

So reanimal is a time loop just like little nightmares 2

How can someone sound so heavy AI like

The story feelsoke retelling of LN2

Yes, so now I don't have to play it because nothing different or dynamic happens in these games... Which imho is the biggest problem. Great movie, great visuals. Not great games. People like you get great content just telling us the entire plot, and that's where it ends for me. Zzzzz.

Personally, i interpret the story very differently.

The center of my understanding is the event in the shed.
The "girl" gets trapped in it by the "boys" and r@ped.
The sheep is the baby that comes from it. A sheep is a symbol of innocence, like any baby is.

But this baby slowly destroys their world. Not literaly, but indirectly.
For the "boys" its a threat as it could reveal their crime.
For the "girl" its a reminder of being r@ped.
And eventually it becomes completely monsteroys and all consuming. Again, not literaly, but emotionally.

Eventually, the boys kill her and/or the baby, and throw her/it/them into a well, to hide their crime.

The entire game is mainly the 6 characters getting to know eachother and trying to go through life while ignoring the horrible deed the boys comitted.
Until it's literally not ignorable anymore.

Every zone also represents one of the boys.
The creep, luring in victims and abusing them.
The vulture, leeching off of the suffering of others.
The manipulator, who spins his web of lies and controll
And the tyrant, who dominates through force and emotional warfare.

The "boys" we save is what they want to be seen as. But they are the monsters we flee of in the zone we find them in.



The game is ultimatly the "girl"'s and the "boys"'s nightmare.
An internal interpritation of what has happened ever since they r@ped her in that shed.
Up until they kill the baby and throw it into a well.

What reanimal did that little nightmares struggled with, is make the player characters the monsters.
I think it worked mainly becayse, in reanimal, the player character's victim is with you. The entire time.
And you work together as friends, as a team.

To learn that, you played as your companion's current/past tormenter, and the friends you collect, and the victim helps you free, are, and have been, just more tormentors, hits way Way harder than showing the player character growing into the monster.

I like the story of reanimal.
Its much more straight forward than something like little nightmares and the story is much clearer and easier to understand.
It also gives much more power and agency to the characters. Youre not just a helpless child.
But its also keeps that same childish, eldritch internal horror style that gives a feeling of helplessness, unknown and ungraspable power

1:42 background music was enough for me to remember feeling😬

yawn

This was the worst fucking video i have ever seen on youtube. Honestly.

This would be a perfect video if youtube wasn't a greedy piece of garbage DIDN'T EAT ALL OF BITRATE

I feel bad for all of them

13:07 definitely not familiar to certain porcelain students

Is hood the voice actor for Ranni?

I grief everyday since the moment Bandai announced that Tarsier won't be working with Little Nightmare anymore. I'm so deeply attached to the LN lore and world especially because of the way Tarsier carries the whole franchise. But seeing LN3 makes me cry harder, now i feel incredibly depressed about LN franchise's future 💔💔💔

Makes me wonder what's wrong with the devs to be ablebto concoct horrendous stuff like this.

I think the bunny girl died earlier due to unrelated reason and the 4 children performed some ritual to bring her back. Reanimal is really close to reanimation, maybe on purpose. But when they did, they brought into this world something else, that was the cause of these monsters. And they knew the girl was a bridge for this monsters into their world, so they killed her to close this gap and get rid of monsters

I stopped at 2:20, gotta play these games

That giant pig in the 11mins region reminds me of the one in Darkwoods called the sow.

"one of the most disgusting, evil, and scary things I have seen in a game.."
gets hit by an advert for the new Tomb Raider.

Building a horror beyond human comprehension...

I am one of many users beyond...

Nevermind...

Yo, it's peak cinema

I thought HE ATE THEM

little nightmares is for emo girls and kids. reanimal is for adults across the board. the themes cover things like: the affect of war on all civilians, children and the soldiers themselves.. it covers cults, human sacrifice, body horror and even predatory behavior against children. while the gameplay is pretty tame and not super frightening.. the themes are so dark and sometimes pure evil. one of the best horror games ive played in awhile.

I forget sometimes that people have no exposure to real horror so stuff like Reanimal seems extra dark. It’s cool but could be MUCH darker and more creative than this

If there could be more horror games as terrifying as the vhs horror and analog horrors back in 2000s that would be graceful

This genuinely feels and looks exactly like Little Nightmares. We could’ve gotten this but instead we got the forgettable Little Nightmares 3

Cinema

Sniffer... you mean a sniffer from Minecraft?

One last vid before bedm

Necesito jugar este juego!!! 😱

I played reanimal with my neighbour, it's peak

I absolutely love when artists are able to not hold back in terms of exploring their imagination and being able to create something even if it is uncomfortable to someone or could make it sell less copies.

If anyone wants to read a "zombie" horror comic that doesn't hold back in terms of exploring the limits of humanity's depravity and creativity gone bad, Crossed is one that not many know but that goes hard.

A scene I've never forgotten is one of a lady being infected with the crossed virus while driving on the highway, and this lady proceeds to picks up the baby sitting beside her, bite into her neck to infect it, open the window and then just throw it into an oncoming truck, so it explodes on impact and infects anyone around who is unlucky enough to receive a drop of blood into their system. All while laughing about it and then proceeding to drive into another car.
