Reanimal is Looking Like Little Nightmares Without the Training Wheels

Horror games adapt and assimilate as deceptively and successfully as The Thing’s eponymous alien monster, and one game being perceived as less scary than another does not dilute its potential for arousing fear. Resident Evil 4 is a survival horror game, for example, but it being dubbed a ‘horror’ game at all would seem like a stretch in terms of how scary it actually is. Likewise, one would be hard-pressed to find anything particularly cheerful or outright pleasant about Little Nightmares and Little Nightmares 2. Little Nightmares tells chilling stories through no dialogue at all and is arrestingly beautiful in its 2.5D art style, despite evoking dread almost exclusively.
