Similar to Nic (RPS in peace), I am both beguiled and maybe just a little riled by how much Tarsier’s Reanimal looks like the studio’s previous Little Nightmares games. Once again, it’s a game about small children in sinister headgear travelling through a collapsed and raggedy storybook world of ogres and abductors. Still, Tarsier have a magnetic capacity for icky monster designs – shout out to Spider Sheep in the trailer there, who absolutely won’t be getting an eye-popping animated Marvel spin-off – and Reanimal is something of a departure once you peel back the layers of suppurating flesh.
This sounds like an exciting development for fans of both franchises! It’s always interesting to see how different styles can blend together. Looking forward to seeing how Reanimal shapes up in 2026!
how developers blend different gameplay mechanics. With Tarsier’s unique art style and atmosphere, it’ll be fascinating to see how they incorporate Zelda-like elements into their world. It definitely raises the anticipation for how they’ll balance puzzle-solving with the eerie charm of Little Nightmares!
