About REANIMAL

REANIMAL poster

REANIMAL comes from the original creators of Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares II, who return to lead you on a journey more terrifying than before. In this co-op horror adventure you play a brother and sister who go through hell to rescue their missing friends, exploring by boat and on land as you rely on your wits to survive, work together to escape a hellish island, and confront the dark secret that haunts you both.

The game leans into horror with a thread of hope. Its unsettling tale places the emphasis on tension and thick atmosphere as the two orphans search desperately for redemption in the direst of circumstances. The world is dark and twisted, and while there is a main path to follow, it is only one part of a fragmented story, with all sorts of mysterious locations to discover along the perilous way, each holding a tale of its own.

Tarsier Studios brings its distinctive visual style to a host of new twisted monsters and broken but resilient child characters, drawing on fragments of the children's troubled past for both hero and monster design. Fully playable solo or in local and online co-op, REANIMAL uses a shared, directed camera to heighten claustrophobia and dread on PC.
