Spooky season is just around the corner, and Supermassive Games, in collaboration with Bandai Namco, is gearing up to bring some haunting tales to the Nintendo Switch.
On October 5, the second chapter of the critically acclaimed The Dark Pictures Anthology, Little Hope, is arriving on the Nintendo platform. Gamers can get their hands on it through the Nintendo eShop, where it'll be priced at $19.99. This release follows just five months after its predecessor, Man of Medan, made its way to the Switch.
The Dark Pictures Anthology was originally released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Each game in the anthology is a standalone story, featuring a new cast of characters and a unique setting, but they all share the common theme of the consequences of choices with a dash of supernatural horror. Players are presented with branching narratives and must make decisions that can lead to multiple endings, including the potential deaths of main characters.
Set in the South Pacific, Man of Medan, the first installment in the anthology, sees a group of friends embark on a trip in search of a rumored World War II wreck. However, their adventure quickly takes a turn for the worse after they find themselves trapped on a haunted ghost ship. As they navigate the eerie corridors, they must make choices that will determine their fate and that of their friends.
Little Hope, which was released in 2020, begins in the 1970s, where players observe a family on the brink of being torn apart due to financial troubles and other issues. The game's narrative takes a dark turn when a little girl named Megan, who appears to be haunted by a malevolent entity, sets her family home on fire. One of the characters, Anthony, witnesses the horrifying event as his entire family perishes in the flames.
