Little Nightmares dev reveals Reanimal—a chilling evolution of its horror formula

Grotesquely distorted monsters, twisted worlds, and panic-inducing chases—this is exactly what we’ve come to expect from Tarsier Studios, the developer behind Little Nightmares. But the Swedish studio is “evolving” with its new game, Reanimal, which is primed to be its darkest offering yet.

The Reanimal trailer revealed on Aug. 20 at Gamescom Opening Night Live featured terrifying snippets from the horror adventure, including a chase with a contorted creature on a tiny bike, children sneaking past a hairy, too-many-legged monster, and a sheep crunching into life (which made me physically grimace). This brief montage, underpinned by a soundtrack that wouldn’t be out of place in a Jordan Peele film, left me uncomfortable—in the way a great horror game should.
