The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope (PS4)

The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope is a cinematic horror adventure on a PlayStation 4 disc, published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Europe and developed by Supermassive Games. It is one of the standalone, branching stories in the Dark Pictures series, and it carries a MENA rating of 18, with Arabic on-screen text supported.

Trapped in the fog

Four college students and their professor become stranded in the abandoned town of Little Hope. An impenetrable fog traps them there while they try desperately to escape, and along the way they witness terrifying visions from the past.

Those visions are tied to the XVIIth century Andover Witch Trials. The group must work out what the apparitions want before the evil forces at work drag each of their souls to hell. The tagline sums up the mood well: abandon hope, all who enter here.

Gameplay and features

• Branching cinematic horror story, one of the standalone games in the series
• Choices shape what happens to the group
• Escape the hideous apparitions that pursue the characters through the fog
• Play online with a friend, or with up to 5 players offline
• Online play for up to 2 players with PlayStation Plus
• The Curator's Cut adds new scenes played from other characters' perspectives, with new choices to make
• Optional in-game purchases and optional online play

The Curator's Cut only becomes available once you have completed the main story, so it works as a reason to go back in for a second run with a different view of events.

Why play it on PlayStation 4

This is a physical disc for PlayStation 4. The PS4 disc also plays on a PS5 with a disc drive. It does not work on a PS5 Digital Edition, which has no disc drive. Remote Play is supported.

The game is made for sharing the scare. Up to five people can take part in the offline mode, so it works well for a group night, and you can also play online with a friend if you have PlayStation Plus.

On-screen text is available in Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Korean and Chinese. Arabic support covers on-screen text only; the specs do not mention Arabic voice-over.
