So, turn off the lights, get comfortable and then set off on the terrifying journey that is Little Hope on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. If you dare…

Trapped by a spooky and mysterious fog, the group searches desperately for a means of escape whilst visions from the past haunt them from the shadows.
As they bear witness to the town’s gruesome past, harking back to the 17th Century and the terrible events of the Andover Witch trials, hellish demons emerge; demons which are relentless in their pursuit of our, soon-to-be, unfortunate victims. They must figure out the motivation of these apparitions before the evil forces at work manage to drag each of their souls to hell.
Throughout the horror adventure of The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope, you will face numerous life or death situations and tough dilemmas that will decide the fate of the characters.
