New from the creators of the Little Nightmares series.
In that THQ’s Nordic stand at the Tokyo Game Show we found an area that was scary. And no, this wasn’t just the result of the long queue to play a demo of REANIMAL, the latest game from the creators of Little Nightmares. After entering a dark room, I prepared to experience the first 15 minutes of REANIMAL. When the exhibition was finished, I felt like I was playing one of the big underdogs of this event.
REANIMAL puts us two brothers in control in a dark and scary worldwhile trying to escape from creepy enemies that move in the shadows. These have no weapons, except for the odd bricks that will help us deceive our enemies. Therefore, there is only one option: flee.
The demo gives us a good idea of what we can expect from the game. Since we need both characters to perform actions like pushing heavy doors or reaching high places, you can’t leave anywhere unless we are together. This adds a puzzle component to the gamesince there are times when you can’t move forward until you find a way for both children to stay close to each other. And that made some of the more intense moments in the exhibition even more intimate.
Throughout the demo, a giant hairy monster with a dozen hot weapons is hot on our heels. He doesn’t see you, but he hears you. At one point, we have to sneak away, avoiding anything that might make the slightest noise. I found out the hard way when I accidentally tripped over some glass bottles, causing the children to die. But even when you find a way to avoid the monster, it will find a way to chase you.
At the end of the demo, the chase begins. I had to push things, jump over broken planks, and quickly crawl through narrow openings to avoid getting caught. Unfortunately, the end of the show leaves me wondering how these guys are going to get out of this mess, with this giant beast approaching the girl while vomiting up faceless living people.
After all this, a game that wasn’t on my radar is now one of the most anticipated. REANIMAL is shaping up to be a game that will scare a lot of players when it’s released. And what’s more, players can enjoy it alone or in cooperative mode. So if you don’t think you can face the monsters of this night alone, you can at least find a friend who is willing to face the darkness together.
